Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PredTerminal and prediction markets.

What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market platform where users trade on the outcomes of real-world events -- politics, economics, sports, culture, and more. Each market is a question (like "Will X happen?") and you buy YES or NO shares. Prices between $0 and $1 reflect the crowd's probability estimate. If you are right, you get $1 per share. PredTerminal tracks all active Polymarket markets and the whale activity within them.

What is Kalshi?

Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange based in the United States. It offers event contracts on politics, economics, weather, companies, and more. Unlike Polymarket (which uses crypto), Kalshi uses USD and is fully regulated. PredTerminal combines Kalshi data with Polymarket so you can compare odds across both platforms and find the best prices.

How does cross-platform arbitrage work?

Arbitrage occurs when the same event is priced differently on Polymarket and Kalshi. For example, if Polymarket prices "Event X happens" at YES = 60 cents and Kalshi prices the same event at YES = 55 cents, you could buy YES on Kalshi for less. If both platforms agree the event happened, you profit from the price difference. PredTerminal automatically scans for these cross-platform price gaps and alerts you when they appear. The bigger the gap, the larger the potential edge.

What are whale bets?

Whale bets are large trades -- typically $10,000 or more -- made by big players in prediction markets. These bets are significant because they often represent informed money. When a trader puts $50K or $100K on a single outcome, they likely have strong conviction based on research or inside knowledge. PredTerminal tracks these bets across both Polymarket and Kalshi in real-time. When multiple whales bet the same way on the same market, it is a strong conviction signal that often precedes price movement.
