France vs. Iraq - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

France meet Iraq in a World Cup group match, with the score settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time only, so extra time and penalties do not matter for this market. The crowd-implied 3% for **YES** on an exact scoreline reflects a broad tail event: even in one-sided fixtures, there are many listed outcomes and a further “Any Other Score” bucket, which usually keeps any single exact score at low probability.

The current price sits against a backdrop of heavy France favouritism in pre-match previews, with several outlets calling for a comfortable French win and scorelines such as 4-0, 5-0 or 5-1.[1][2][3] That pattern matters because exact-score markets tend to concentrate around the dominant-side clean-sheet or one-goal-concession bands, while the probability of any one precise combination remains small. For interpretation, the market is therefore reading less as a view on who wins and more as a view on whether the final margin lands on one very specific line.

On access and regulation, a Germany-facing trader should note that the GlüStV framework can make unlicensed sports betting and related wagering products difficult to access domestically, so platform availability may depend on the operator’s licensing and geofencing rather than the market itself. In the US, CFTC reach is relevant because federally regulated derivatives rules can capture event-based contracts with a US nexus, which is why venue structure and user location matter. “No-KYC up to $1,500” generally means smaller accounts may be able to trade or withdraw without identity verification, but higher activity, enhanced checks, or jurisdiction controls can still limit access to this specific market depending on the platform’s compliance settings.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket KYC UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

Polymarket KYC UK is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

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.

Zero. Polymarket KYC UK routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
