they're currently #4 by volume in the poly eco and what's interesting is that their volume is spread across all kinds of sports: from 2nd division women's cricket to the new zealand rugby championship their biggest advantage here is that they have no fees and bring liquidity from 25+ bookies, exchanges, and prediction markets into one order book but their deepest liquidity is in soccer - the #1 sport in the world with a massive global fanbase here's an example: today's UEFA Nations League - Georgia vs Northern Ireland $220K volume vs $158K from their green US peers who recently got caught wash trading and across the board, @magicmarkets has higher volume on these matches pretty surprising
This week @magicmarkets is #4 by volume on Polymarket

This thread is 100% gonna blow up and I am gonna look like a salty c****again but @icobeast pissed me off so now it's gonna get ugly Kalshi fakes their crypto volume and I can prove it NOTHING pisses me off more than watching a company treat its own customers like complete fucking idiots Grab some popcorn cause I dissected every piece of evidence one by one until there’s basically no way for him to respond without making this look even worse Oh and FYI, I left every source at the end so y’all can check the receipts yourselves 😘 1/x
Replying to @beniduboss

very suspicious and kinda funny situation in Black Phoenix vs Lavked match imo this was basically a signal for free money and nobody took it seriously a tier 3 cs2 tournament with pretty average teams the market on poly did >$219.72K in volume that's 5-8x higher than the previous matches at this tournament: $24.59K, $58.06K, $85.18K Vol. and then there's this on this exact match, several accounts placed $2K-$5K positions within the same hour same market same positions same entry time same account creation time same deposit time i don't want to make baseless accusations but was this basically a 322 match? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
🚨 Major fix alert — Black Phoenix again. Under normal circumstances, I’d make Lavked slight favourites. Instead, they’re clear underdogs. Pinnacle’s margin on this match is a massive 14.6%, compared with the usual 7.0% or less. Limits are also at the minimum. Looks like Pinnacle has hit the emergency brake on this one. Meanwhile, I found six (6) Polymarket accounts created TODAY, each holding a Black Phoenix position worth over $5,000. I’ve included three of them in the screenshots. All six accounts were created today. Their first and only bet is on Black Phoenix to win this exact match — and they’re taking poor odds, too. Why would anyone create an account just to bet several thousand dollars on a match like this? Coincidence?

Calling all crypto twitter. I'm proud to announce that Jacob Horne @js_horne has joined Polymarket. He will be working closely with me on product, in particular making Polymarket DeFi great again. Jacob is amongst the best product and innovation minds in crypto. Before this, he was CEO of Zora. He built multiple beautiful products (I was one of the first users of the first version in 2020). Now he's got the PMF and distribution of Polymarket. I'm so excited to work with him. We'll be hosting a Polymarket DeFi town hall soon to hear from our longtime users and lay out the plan to make the Polymarket DeFi product the best it’s ever been. In the meantime, DM your feedback to @js_horne or me and we'll action it. To the DeFi community, we know the performance of the onchain product has waned as we've scaled, and it hurts us to hear the frustration of the people who love Polymarket and have supported us for so long thinking we’ve pivoted all focus to US, but just know we're working behind the scenes to unify the products and make Polymarket better than ever, across all surface areas.

there's a pretty funny situation involving a CIS CS tournament & Polymarket there's a LAN tournament happening in Moscow rn, also covered by HLTV these matches are listed on polymarket as well as different bookies but unlike bookmakers, canceled matches on polymarket can resolve 50/50, meaning everyone gets the same payout regardless of the price they bought at and apparently some yung cs players started abusing this: they would register for the tournament -> pay the entry fee -> get their match listed on polymarket -> then one of the players wouldn't show up for some made-up reason -> the match gets canceled -> profit the tournament organizers eventually caught the scheme and disqualified one of the teams they also added a new rule to prevent similar situations from happening again pretty interesting case i wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened somewhere else too, not just in cs what do u think?

Polymarket's US business hit all-time highs in every metric this weekend, and became the #3 app in America. Polymarket US only launched publicly on May 12. Tech is now ready for scale. And scale we shall.

Jumper says there will be an important announcement this week but as many know, this team loves to keep attention on their platform by hyping up crypto farmers and their airdrop expectations i think we're getting another platform update, just like we've seen many times before when they teased a "big announcement" no airdrop. no token. no tge as they keep saying in discord multiple times a day: the ceo said on an ama that there won't be a token and honestly i understand them. why would they need a token when so many people already use their product? it's actually a really good dex but if you also don't believe they're launching a token, there's a great option on polymarket: they recently added a market on whether jumper will launch a token by the end of 2026 right now there's a 66% chance of no token pretty tasty odds market: [polymarket.com/event/will-ju…]

SABALENKA. PEGULA. GAUFF. RYBAKINA. Tonight the US Open women’s final is priced in cents. Four names. Top 4 seeds. First time since 1975 all of them are in the semis. Match 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula SAB 64.9c / 63.2c PEG 36.7c / 35.4c Volume already $43k Two-time US Open champ vs the home crowd on Ashe. 64.9c is not a vibe. That is the market saying Sabalenka is about a 65% favorite. Match 2 Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina GAU 50.0c / 48.1c RYB 51.8c / 50.4c Volume $73k Coin flip. Bigger book than the first semi. Gauff on her court. Rybakina with the serve that travels at night. That is not a bookie line. That is a live price you can trade. On @magicmarkets every cent is a probability. 65c = the market giving Sabalenka a ~65% chance. 50c / 52c on Gauff-Rybakina = the book cannot pick a winner yet. Think 65c is too rich? Sell Sabalenka. Buy Pegula. Think 50c on Gauff at home is cheap? Take her and exit when the break hits. You do not wait for the last point. Break of serve hits, the book reprices, you close and lock it in. That is the difference. MagicMarkets pulls liquidity from 25+ sportsbooks, exchanges and prediction markets into one book. So when the night session opens you can still get filled. Pre-match. Live. And on the way out. Zero commission. No winner limits. Same book tonight. Two women’s semis. One men’s semi already listed for Friday: Zverev vs Khachanov Don’t pick a winner. Trade where the market is wrong.
This is another US Open match I’m paying close attention to today Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula - I’m taking Sabalenka here Pegula has been playing some really good tennis this season and I expect another competitive match But I still think Sabalenka has the edge She leads the H2H 9-4 and has beaten Pegula in their last two US Open meetings Sabalenka’s power is a huge factor for me If she can keep the unforced errors under control, I think she has enough firepower to take control of the match The live markets on @magicmarkets: → Sabalenka to win - 64.9¢ → Pegula to win - 36.7¢ And the game handicap: → Sabalenka -3 - 50.7¢ → Pegula +3 - 52.3¢ I’m backing Sabalenka here At around 65¢ on the winner market, I’m comfortable taking her side She has already shown she can handle Pegula on this stage, and I’m expecting another big performance tonight Who are you taking?

you might be overpaying for your predictions and not even realize it take the US Open men's final - Zverev vs Shelton @magicmarkets once again has better prices than both Kalshi and Polymarket 1. Zverev: magic markets - 1.70 kalshi - 1.66 (-2.4%) polymarket - 1.65 (-2.9%) 2. Shelton magic markets - 2.38 kalshi - 2.26 (-5.0%) polymarket - 2.30 (-3.4%) yea the difference doesn't look huge but if you're making predictions regularly those few percent can become a serious amount over time and Magic Markets doesn't even charge you a fee on top better price + no fees think about it.
let's take the us open final - Sabalenka vs Rybakina let's compare the prices from the top 2 prediction markets, polymarket and kalshi, and add @magicmarkets to the comparison as you can see, magic markets offers better prices on both players, with the difference ranging from roughly 2% to 5% for Sabalenka: magic markets 1.74 > polymarket 1.68 > kalshi 1.66 even these small differences might not look like much but over the long run they can add up to a pretty serious amount

Aryna Sabalenka x Elena Rybakina are playing for $8.3M today 1st place - $5.5M 2nd place - $2.8M in just a few hours we'll know who wins US Open '26 if you're watching and want to make a prediction, @magicmarkets has some really good prices compared to other books Rybakina - 2.30 Sabalenka - 1.74 for me, Sabalenka looks stronger in this matchup she still leads their head-to-head 10-7 and let's not forget that Elena had an injury before the tournament and hasn't really faced the same level of aggression on return in new york that a confident Sabalenka can bring. let's see if Aryna can take the title

the Champions league is BACK. and they couldn't have picked a better game to start with: Real Madrid vs Inter two giants. decades of history. trophies everywhere. and while everyone is waiting for the match i'm looking at the prices and honestly wondering how this is possible. found some really better prices on @magicmarkets. while other books' odds are already getting worse as people keep pushing the price down magicmarkets still has some of the best prices you'll find anywhere. try to find better. i dare you. of course besides poly xd
