Parlays

Polymarket offers parlay markets.

What are Parlays?

Parlays are markets with multiple conditions. While most markets resolve based on a single condition, parlays depend on several linked conditions.

Each parlay is made up of linked markets. The parlay resolves based on the outcomes of those linked markets.

Example: In Nothing Ever Happens: Conspiracy Edition, the parlay stays open until either:

• Any listed condition is met, causing the market to resolve to No.

• None of the listed conditions is met by December 31, 2025, causing the market to resolve to Yes.

Nothing Ever Happens

Nothing Ever Happens parlay markets resolve to Yes only if all linked events resolve to No. If any event occurs, the market resolves to No.

The idea behind Nothing Ever Happens markets is that people often overestimate how many events will actually happen.

Everything Happens

Everything Happens parlay markets resolve to Yes only if all conditions are met. If even one condition fails, the market resolves to No.

The idea behind these markets is that all of the linked events will occur.

Mixed Parlays

Some parlay markets combine conditions across related or unrelated events, such as elections, political events, or cultural markets. How they resolve depends on the rules of each linked market.

Parlay Rules

Each linked market follows its own rules to determine whether its condition is met. The parlay then resolves based on the combination of those outcomes.
