🎓 Tuesday: Platform Comparison Guide
EdgeFinder tracks 6 prediction market platforms. Each one is different. Here's how to think about them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE PLATFORMS 🔵 POLYMARKET The largest by volume. USDC-settled. US traders restricted. Most liquid for sports, politics, and macro. This is where most EdgeFinder signals resolve. 🟡 KALSHI US-regulated and legal for American traders. Lower liquidity than Polymarket but growing fast. Good for economic data markets (CPI, jobs, Fed). 🟣 MANIFOLD Play-money platform. Great for testing thesis before deploying real capital. No financial risk — pure signal quality testing. 🟢 METACULUS Aggregated forecasting. Community-driven. No direct trading, but excellent for calibrating your probability thinking. ⚫ PREDICTIT US-regulated. Focused on political markets. 10% fee on profits. Higher cost of edge. Best used selectively. 🔴 AZURO On-chain sports betting markets. Decentralised. Higher variance, higher upside. Emerging liquidity. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE EDGE QUESTION The question isn't "which platform is best" — it's "where does my edge translate?" EdgeFinder's NO-side ML model currently runs primarily on Polymarket. The crowd-overpricing of YES applies wherever long-shot bias exists — which is everywhere. Different fee structures and liquidity mean the same signal has different expected value on each platform. The EdgeFinder Foundation course covers this in detail. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Learn more in The EdgeFinder Foundation course — Classroom tab above.
