Novig is a peer-to-peer sports prediction market where users trade against each other on sports like the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, golf, tennis, MMA, and other major leagues. It's currently available in every US state except Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada.
Instead of trading against a sportsbook, you take a position against another user willing to take the opposite side at the posted price, or you accept a price someone else has already put up.
Novig charges a taker fee that tops out at around $0.0075 per contract, while makers pay nothing. That gives it some of the lowest trading costs of any prediction market in the US.
Novig Pricing & Fees
Novig is a peer-to-peer prediction market, so pricing comes directly from what users are willing to “make” and “take” rather than from a bookmaker setting the line
Instead of a bookmaker setting the line, Novig’s odds come directly from what users are willing to “make” and “take” in a peer-to-peer order-driven market.
When there's enough liquidity, this often produces noticeably better prices than what you'd get from mainstream sportsbooks like FanDuel or BetMGM.
Since moving to a real-money model, Novig charges trading fees, but they're among the lowest around.
Takers pay a price-weighted fee that caps at around $0.0075 per contract, calculated as 0.03 × P × (1−P), where P is the contract's price.
Makers, meanwhile, pay nothing and can earn a credit equal to up to half the taker fee for adding liquidity to the market.
Because the fee is price-weighted, what you pay depends on how the contract is priced. It reaches its highest point on even-money markets, where the contract is priced around $0.50 and the outcome is most uncertain, then shrinks toward zero as the price moves toward either extreme.
In plain terms, the closer a contract gets to a near-certain or near-impossible outcome, the less you pay to trade it.
You'll trade using one of two actions: Make or Take.
Make means you post the price you want and wait for another user to take the other side at that number.
Take means you accept a price that's already available, so you're trading at a price another user has already posted.
