Head to head

Polymarket vs FanDuel

Which venue is currently the cheaper side of the same player props, de-vigged and counted live.

Right now BeatVig prices 203 player props at both. Polymarket is the cheaper side 75% of the time (154 of 203), and FanDuel is cheaper on 49. This is the board as it stands at 31 Oct 13:17 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.

How they differ

FanDuel is a sportsbook with a margin in the line and a prop menu built for volume. Polymarket is an order book whose player-prop coverage is still filling in. The overlap between them is smaller than either venue's full board, so this page only counts props where both have a live price — a comparison built on markets only one of them prices is not a comparison.

How each one charges

Polymarket
Polymarket is an order-book market: the price is whatever two traders agree on, and a share that settles at $1 quotes as a probability directly.
Polymarket's taker fee is a fraction of a percent, which makes its headline quote very close to the all-in cost and often the cheapest of the exchanges in the middle of the price range.
Polymarket runs deep liquidity on headline games and much thinner books on the rest of the slate, and its player-prop coverage is still filling in — check the size behind a quote, not just the quote.
FanDuel
FanDuel is a traditional sportsbook: it sets the line and prices both sides with its margin included rather than matching you against another bettor.
FanDuel's margin is inside the price, so it is charged on every bet regardless of the result.
FanDuel prices a broad US player-prop menu across the major leagues.
