Santos FC vs. CSyD Macará - More Markets

Platform comparison

Market context

Santos FC and CSyD Macará met in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 first leg, with the match scheduled at Estádio Urbano Caldeira in Santos at 22:00 UTC on 13 August 2026.[1][3][9] On Polymarket, this “More Markets” contract is priced at **0% YES** in crowd-implied terms, so a trader is effectively paying only USDC on Polygon for conditional tokens if a narrow, market-specific post-match condition is later resolved in favour of the listed outcome.

That 0% reading is best compared with the match’s broad pre-game shape, which the football markets had already treated as Santos-favoured rather than even.[2][4][8] Sports Mole put Santos’ win probability at 47.31%, with Macará at 26.4% and the draw at 26.25%, while other previews described Santos as the stronger side at home and noted this was the sides’ first meeting.[2][7] In prediction-market terms, a near-zero price on a “more markets” outcome usually signals that traders think the relevant edge case is either structurally unlikely or already covered by the main match markets.

The key catalysts are the competition’s official result flow, any late team-news or scheduling changes, and whether the settlement question hinges on an auxiliary stat or event rather than the scoreline itself. Because this is a conditional-token market, final resolution will depend on the exact wording and the match record rather than headline perception alone. If the market ties to a specific in-game or post-game condition, the most important watch items are starting line-ups, abandoned-match risk, and any Copa Sudamericana administrative updates before the settlement window closes on 13 August 2026 at 22:00 UTC.

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Alternative UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
