Player Markets

Each player market contract represents an outcome tied to a specific player performance metric in a designated game (e.g., “Player X to record over 49.5 receiving yards”).

  • Contracts settle in-the-money if the specified condition is met.

  • Contracts settle out-of-the-money if the condition is not met.

  • If a player is declared inactive or out before the start of the event, contracts are settled as Event Canceled.
