CU Boulder research: Are prediction market users actually different from sportsbook bettors? (7-min survey, anonymous)
We're a group of students at the University of Colorado Boulder studying whether prediction market users think and behave differently from traditional sportsbook bettors — and whether platforms like Polymarket are pulling people away from sportsbooks or just growing the overall market.
This community is one of the few places where the right people actually hang out, so we'd genuinely appreciate a few minutes of your time.
What it covers: how often you use prediction markets vs. sportsbooks, what draws you to each, and what (if anything) would make you consider switching or adding one.
What it isn't: a company survey, a marketing pitch, or anything that collects your name or contact info. It's a 7-minute academic research project and that's it.
The findings will be used to understand prediction-market users better — the kind of data that's basically nonexistent right now in the published literature.
Takes about 7 minutes. Completely anonymous. Thanks — genuinely.
