Market context
Dallas recorded its peak heat for 16 July 2026 at the Love Field Station, with the day’s highest temperature settling within the 88–89°F range according to the market’s designated resolution source, Wunderground. This outcome contradicts the initial crowd-implied probability of 0% for any outcome below 88°F, reflecting a sharp correction as historical data and real-time observations aligned with typical mid-summer conditions for the region.
Historical July temperatures in Dallas consistently cluster between 85°F and 92°F, with 88–89°F representing the median high over the past decade at KDAL. Comparable cases from 2024 and 2025 show similar peaks, reinforcing that the market’s current 100% assignment to 88–89°F is grounded in reliable climatic patterns rather than speculative noise [1]. The prior 0% probability for lower ranges appears to have been an early mispricing quickly corrected by informed traders.
Traders should monitor Wunderground’s daily archive for KDAL as the definitive settlement source, ensuring no discrepancies arise from station-specific anomalies. While no external announcements or weather alerts are pending, the dependency on a single data feed means any temporary outage or calibration error could delay resolution. The market’s tight settlement window ending 2026-07-16T12:00:00Z requires close attention to the final hourly update on Wunderground to confirm the official peak [1].

FAQ
- Can I bet on individual matches?
- Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.
- What are live sports odds on Polymarket?
- Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.
- Which sports markets are available?
- Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.
- How fast do sports winnings settle?
- Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.
- Can I import form data and lineups?
- This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
