Nottingham 2: Felix Gill vs Hugo Gaston

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Felix Gill and Hugo Gaston are scheduled to meet in the Nottingham grass-court tournament on 15 June 2026. The match carries a 100% implied probability for Gill's advancement, reflecting either overwhelming confidence in his form or sparse liquidity in the order book. Nottingham 2 sits in the ATP 250 calendar slot, typically drawing mid-ranked professionals and occasional qualifiers. The early morning start time (5:00 AM ET) may suppress real-time trading activity and compress the effective market depth available to traders depositing via Klarna or SEPA rails during European trading hours.

Historical precedent suggests grass-court upsets occur at measurable frequency—roughly 15–20% of seeded players exit early at Nottingham—yet the current odds leave no room for Gaston's upset path. This disconnect often signals either incomplete information (injury, withdrawal rumours not yet priced in) or a thin liquidity pool where a single large deposit via USDC or bank transfer has anchored the book. Traders should monitor ATP injury bulletins and official draw confirmations through 14 June, as late withdrawals typically trigger settlement ambiguity rather than clean resolution.

The settlement window closes 22 June at 09:00 UTC, allowing a seven-day grace period for delays or rescheduling. Withdrawal friction—whether through Klarna's staggered processing, SEPA clearing delays, or USDC bridge costs—may deter smaller traders from locking capital into a market showing no real contestation. Book depth typically expands only after match commencement or credible news of injury; until then, the 100% reading reflects illiquidity rather than certainty.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
