- Robinhood discussed “prediction markets reimagined” at Tuesday event.
- Sports event contracts were front-and-center.
- Company unveiled new and upcoming parlay, player prop offerings.
At a Tuesday investor event, Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) discussed “prediction markets reimagined” with sports event contracts, including parlays, seemingly getting top billing.
The financial technology (fintech) company reiterated what has been a topic of frequent discussion in the investment community: Robinhood is undoubtedly a prediction markets force to be reckoned with. The California-based brokerage house said prediction markets are its “fastest-growing product line by revenue ever, with 11 billion contracts traded by more than 1 million customers.”
Robinhood said that over the past several weeks, a period including news it’s partnering with Susquehanna International Group on an organic event contracts platform, it’s been responding to various revolving around event contracts.
Those include broader enhancements to its prediction markets platform, 24/7 access, limit orders, dollar-based trades, a sports contracts hubs, and an event details page spanning a number of sports.
Robinhood Puts Parlays in the Spotlight
Parlays, or as prediction market operators call them, combos, are increasingly popular in the event contracts industry and Robinhood isn’t shying away from that as it looks to capitalize on the tail end of football season with pre-set multi-leg bets.
Customers will be able to trade preset combos for individual Pro Football games, giving them another way to turn their nuanced sports knowledge into an investing opportunity,” according to a statement. “These will be a combination of the outcomes, totals, and spreads within a single game. Like any event contract, these combos will pay $1 dollar, but only if each of the outcomes in the contract resolves correctly.”
As is the case with other prediction market firms and at a time when these bets are increasingly controversial, Robinhood is also featuring what amount to player proposition bets, calling them “player contracts.” Those derivatives will be offered on football will include passing, receiving, and rushing yards and anytime touchdowns, among others.
Robinhood Leveraging Media Arm in Prediction Markets Push
The fintech company also noted its Sherwood News platform will serve up a newsletter known as “Scoreboard” that will act as a prediction markets data and news hub, featuring “stats, and sports markets news they need to know.”
While sports event contracts were the points of emphasis at the investor event, Robinhood noted it has listed thousands of yes/no derivatives across economics, politics, pop culture, and other categories.
In October, the trading house introduced approximately 20 yes/no contracts with political ties, including bets on with whom President Trump will meet this year, the possibility of a national Bitcoin reserve, semiconductor tariffs, Trump pardons, and whether or not Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will leave that role, among others. Moves like that arrive as industry observers say non-sports derivatives will be a key source of long-term growth for prediction market firms, assuming they execute well.
