A P2P (Peer-to-Peer) opinion trading market allows users to trade directly with other users by taking opposite views on the same prediction or outcome.
In every P2P trade:
One user believes an outcome will happen, and another user believes the outcome will not happen
SportsBull does not take a position in these trades. Instead, the platform acts as a facilitator, providing the technology to match opposing views, execute trades, and settle outcomes once the event concludes.
Prices in P2P markets are determined by user demand, supply, and sentiment, enabling transparent price discovery without the platform influencing outcomes.
Example: P2P Market in a Football Match
Consider a football match between Team A vs Team B, with a market question:
“Will Team A score a goal in the first half?”
User X believes Team A will score in the first half and takes the “Yes” side
User Y believes Team A will not score in the first half and takes the “No” side
These two users are matched in a P2P trade. SportsBull facilitates the trade and locks it in.
If Team A scores in the first half, User X wins
If Team A does not score, User Y wins
SportsBull then settles the market based on the actual match outcome.
P2P markets are ideal for users who enjoy analysing matches, reacting to live events, and trading based on their understanding of the game rather than fixed platform-set odds. The house (or platform) acts as the counterparty to every user’s bet.
If you “buy” an outcome, the platform “sells” it to you, and vice versa. "
P2P = Peer-to-Peer.
In a P2P opinion trading market, every trade involves two users taking opposite sides of a prediction or opinion. One user believes an outcome will happen, the other believes it won’t.
The platform itself just acts as a facilitator, handling order matching and settlement once the outcome is known.
