- Getting a price. Longshot v1 runs on RFQ, not an orderbook. Instead of placing an order and waiting for a counterparty, you express your prediction and market makers compete to fill it. You get executable odds back instantly.
- Combos are native. Up to [9] legs on one ticket.
- Featured markets. Longshot may explicitly feature up to two eligible Culture or Mentions events on Home. Any empty or no-longer-eligible slot automatically falls back to live Culture and upcoming Mentions events.
- No exit before resolution. In v1, once your order is filled there is no selling out mid-event.
- Fees. Charged only on winning profit. See fee details.
- Resolution. When the event ends, your ticket settles to a win or a loss and winnings hit your balance automatically.
Sports on Home
Home can feature up to two different sports (NFL, CFB, NHL, MLB, or Soccer) in a curated order. Soccer uses one selected competition. Each section uses that sport or league’s featured games, combo, and available player props. A sport’s availability controls still apply; Home placement does not enable an otherwise disabled sport.Request a market
Use Request a market on Home to suggest an outcome. Enter 10–500 characters and submit; Request received confirms your idea was saved for review. If a request fails, your text stays in the field so you can retry.Browsing Culture
Use the topic filters on the Open Culture list to narrow the markets you see. All is always available. Filter names and their categories are curated by Longshot, and a market can appear under more than one filter. Filters with no matching open markets are hidden. The Resolved list shows past markets without topic filters. Culture events can have two subcategories. Sports’ Trades & Rumors section contains only events explicitly tagged Trades & Rumors; its filters use each event’s other subcategory. The pill is hidden when there are no eligible open markets in that section. More events load as you scroll, with a Load more control available for keyboard navigation. Opening an event shows all of its outcomes. Event cards show up to three available outcomes closest to 50%; YES and NO prices on binary cards are independent. Browsing prices refresh while cards are near the visible area and disappear when their validity expires. An unavailable price leaves the outcome disabled until a fresh offer arrives. Your ticket still requests and validates its own executable quote before submission.Grouped outcomes
Outcomes listed together do not always have one winner. A manual event can explicitly declare that exactly one outcome in its complete list wins, or that multiple outcomes may win. A listing without this declaration leaves the relationship unspecified. The API returns this declaration as the optionalsource.mutually_exclusive Boolean; arbitrary source attributes do not set it.
Additional outcomes may be added to manual events, including events that declare
exactly one winner. New outcomes share the event rules and declaration and become
available after pricing and opening.
Read the event’s resolution rules; grouping alone
does not establish exclusivity or guarantee that a combo is available.
