Market outcomes
| Beijing Ducks vs. Shanghai Sharks | 0% YES | 100% NO |
The Beijing Ducks host the Shanghai Sharks in a CBA semi-final game scheduled for 20 May at 7:35am ET. Polymarket’s order book is currently pricing Shanghai at a heavy premium, with the listed implied probability at 0% YES for Beijing, which indicates little to no demand for a Ducks win at today’s levels rather than a guaranteed outcome. Recent head-to-head results point the other way: Shanghai won the first game 87-82 on 15 May, while Beijing responded with an 88-73 win on 12 May and Shanghai had also taken a January meeting 86-67. That mixed split is the right historical frame, but the market is still being shaped by the current series state and live liquidity rather than by season-long records alone.
The main catalysts are simple: team news, any confirmation of line-ups, and whether the game starts on time or is shifted. Flashscore’s live series page has Shanghai leading the series 1-0 after the 15 May result, while 365Scores lists Beijing’s most recent result as the 99-88 loss on 17 May, which suggests the schedule and scoring feed are still moving in real time across match pages. Traders should watch for official CBA confirmations, because postponement keeps the market open until the game is completed, while cancellation without a make-up date resolves 50-50. Any late injury or rotation update matters more than historical head-to-head data given how tightly the order book will price one result against the next.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://www.flashscore.com/basketball/china/cba. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.

Because this market resolves from a publicly verifiable feed (https://www.flashscore.com/basketball/china/cba), the probability of dispute is materially lower than the overall 0.5% PolyGram baseline — most disputes occur on markets with ambiguous wording or non-public resolution sources.

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 "Beijing Ducks vs. Shanghai Sharks", the considerations above apply directly — Sports outcome contracts are sensitive to single-event variance — a coin-flip game, a referee call, or an injured player can move the line 10-30¢ in seconds. Position sizing should reflect that variance rather than the expected value alone.
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.
