FAQ

Tickrr — frequently asked questions

The Bloomberg Terminal for prediction markets. Intel only — Tickrr never tells you to bet and never places trades.

What is Tickrr?

Tickrr is a real-time intelligence terminal for prediction markets — the 'Bloomberg Terminal for prediction markets.' It turns live Polymarket, Kalshi and sportsbook-consensus data (The Odds API) into decision-quality analytics across sports, politics, macro and crypto: fair-value reads, dislocations, cross-venue gaps, and a catalyst calendar. Tickrr is intel only — it never tells you to bet and never places trades.

Is Tickrr financial, investment, or betting advice?

No. Tickrr is informational analytics only. It never recommends that you bet, buy, sell, hedge, or size a position, and it never promises an outcome. Everything is presented as probabilistic intelligence to help you understand markets — decisions are entirely your own.

What is a cross-venue divergence (Polymarket vs Kalshi)?

A cross-venue divergence is when the same real-world question is priced differently on two prediction-market venues — for example Polymarket implying a 10% chance and Kalshi implying 13.5% for the same event. Tickrr surfaces the gap in percentage points, but only for verified like-for-like pairs (same team, same price threshold, same meeting outcome), so the comparison is always apples-to-apples.

What markets does Tickrr cover?

Tickrr unifies four categories on one board: sports (the World Cup, NFL, NBA, MLB, F1), politics (elections), macro (Federal Reserve rate decisions), and crypto (Bitcoin and Ethereum price markets). Each market carries a fair-value read; where a counterpart exists on another venue, Tickrr also shows the cross-venue gap.

How does Tickrr calculate fair value and implied probability?

A prediction-market price maps directly to an implied probability (a 62¢ 'Yes' ≈ a 62% implied chance). Tickrr adjusts for the bid/ask spread and liquidity to produce a liquidity-adjusted fair range, then rates the quote's decision quality. A price sitting outside its fair range is flagged as a possible dislocation.

What is a dislocation?

A dislocation is a signal that a market price may be mispriced or fragile: price moving without news (or news without price movement), a thin-liquidity trap where the quote can't absorb size, an overreaction, or a cross-venue gap. Tickrr's Dislocation Radar flags these live, most severe first — as information, not a recommendation to act.

Does Tickrr place trades or execute orders?

No. Tickrr never executes trades and has no brokerage or wallet integration. It is a pure decision-support and analytics layer — you take any action on the venue of your choice, entirely at your own discretion.

Where does Tickrr get its data?

Live market microstructure comes from Polymarket's public Gamma and CLOB APIs, whose terms permit derived analytics and customer-facing products. Kalshi figures are shown as derived cross-venue analytics with an attributed link back to Kalshi; Tickrr does not redistribute Kalshi's raw feed. Tickrr is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Polymarket or Kalshi.

Is Tickrr free?

Tickrr has a free tier that covers the live board, fair-value reads, and the catalyst calendar. Pro unlocks deeper tools such as the AI Deliberation Room and grounded 'why did it move?' analysis. Event Passes unlock Pro for a single spectacle's window (for example a World Cup Pass).

What is the Deliberation Room?

The Deliberation Room is a Pro feature where AI models argue both sides of a market — an advocate builds the fact-based case, a skeptic pressure-tests it, and each cites grounded evidence. You get the full reasoning to inform your own view. It never issues a pick and never tells you to bet.

Can AI agents use Tickrr?

Yes. Tickrr exposes a public REST API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI agents like Claude and Gemini can call tools such as list_markets, list_dislocations, list_divergences and get_calendar to consume the same intelligence the terminal shows. Responses are intel-only by design.

What is a catalyst calendar?

The catalyst calendar is the schedule of upcoming market-moving events — FOMC rate decisions, CPI prints, tournament finals, elections — with countdowns, scoped to the category you're viewing. It answers 'what moves this market next?' so you can see context behind a price, not just the number.
