What IPL markets does Desipoly offer?

Title winners, qualification to playoffs, eliminator outcomes, Orange Cap (most runs) and Purple Cap (most wickets) winners, and player-specific markets such as 'Will Player X score a century in IPL 2026?'

How are IPL markets resolved?

The resolution source is iplt20.com — the official IPL site. Once a match or season concludes and iplt20.com publishes the final result, a human committee proposes the outcome on-chain. Disputes escalate to UMA Optimistic Oracle v3.

What happens if a match is abandoned or a season is interrupted?

Each market's resolution criteria explicitly name the fallback. For individual-match markets, an abandoned match typically voids the market. For season markets, official IPL adjudication (e.g., Duckworth-Lewis, reserve days, season truncation) flows through as the authoritative outcome.

Can I trade during a match?

Yes. Until a market's resolution deadline, the order book (or AMM) stays open. In-play trading is where prediction markets really shine — prices re-price every ball.

Bet on the IPL

The Indian Premier League is the most watched cricket tournament in the world. Every season, Desipoly runs markets on title, playoffs, caps, and player props — priced by people who actually follow Indian cricket.

The market types

Title winner. "Will CSK win IPL 2026?" Ten markets, one per franchise, prices summing to ~$1.
Playoff qualification. "Will Punjab Kings qualify for the IPL 2026 playoffs?"
Orange Cap. Highest run-scorer of the season. "Will Virat Kohli finish top of the Orange Cap?"
Purple Cap. Highest wicket-taker. "Will Jasprit Bumrah finish top of the Purple Cap?"
Player props. "Will Player X score a century in IPL 2026?" "Will Player Y take a five-wicket haul?"
Match markets. Individual match winners, 50-over thresholds, and select in-play props.

The resolution source: iplt20.com

Every IPL market on Desipoly names iplt20.com (or a specific match/stat page) as the authoritative source. Official BCCI declarations flow through the site; when a champion lifts the trophy, iplt20.com is updated and the market resolves.

Deeper mechanics: how markets resolve.

A worked example — title market

Say before the season, "Will Mumbai Indians win IPL 2026?" trades at 18¢. You think their squad is better than the market does. You put $50 USDC into YES at 18¢ — approximately 278 YES shares.

If MI wins: 278 × $1 = $278. Profit $228.
If MI doesn't win: $0. You lose $50.
If MI storms the league phase and YES rises to 40¢, you can sell for $111 and move on.

Orange and Purple Cap dynamics

Cap markets are extremely price-sensitive late in the season. One big knock or five-wicket haul can swing the Orange or Purple Cap by 20¢ in an evening. Liquid cap markets are some of the most active on Desipoly.

Player props — reading the fine print

Player markets have precise criteria. "Century" means 100+ in a single IPL 2026 innings per the iplt20.com scorecard. "Five-wicket haul" means 5+ wickets in a single IPL 2026 innings. Markets exclude washouts and unfinished matches by default — but always read the criteria on the market page.

Edge cases

Injured replacements. Markets on "named player finishes Orange Cap" resolve NO if the player is ruled out. No refund — you traded a probability.
Duckworth-Lewis. The DLS-adjusted official result is the authoritative outcome.
Match abandoned. Individual-match markets void per criteria. Season-level markets remain unaffected.

Why Desipoly for IPL?

Indian cricket is followed ball-by-ball by hundreds of millions of people. That depth of attention and domain knowledge is exactly what makes prediction-market pricing work. Global prediction markets under-price India because their users don't watch.
