Market outcomes
| SPY (SPY) Up or Down on May 20? | 100% YES | 0% NO |
A prediction market is a real-money contract that pays $1 per YES share if the stated outcome occurs, and $0 if it does not. The current price is therefore the crowd's probability estimate — set by thousands of traders competing in a live order book, not a bookmaker. PolyGram routes your order into the same Polymarket venue, adds an email-first login and USDC deposits, and settles on Polygon within minutes of the result.

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose. For "SPY (SPY) Up or Down on May 20?", the considerations above apply directly — Macro-finance markets are scheduled events — the binary nature of the payoff means even a small statistical surprise (e.g. CPI 0.1pp above consensus) can resolve the entire position. Trade size should reflect the headline-shock potential of the underlying release.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
