How to Use Rithmm’s Predictive Models on Kalshi & Polymarket: The New Edge in Sports Trading

Table of Contents

December 6, 2025

Prediction markets have officially entered sports — and it’s changing how people trade on games.

Platforms like Kalshi, Polymarket, and emerging sports-trading markets now list live probabilities for outcomes such as:

- Game winners  
- Spread outcomes  
- Totals  
- Player or team milestones  
- Real-time movement as public sentiment shifts  

And here’s the best part:

> Rithmm’s predictive models plug perfectly into this new world of sports trading.

If you can compare a sportsbook line to win probability…  
You can compare a market price to win probability.

Today’s article breaks down exactly how to use Rithmm to gain an edge on these platforms.

Why Prediction Markets Are Perfect for Rithmm Users

Sportsbooks lock you into a bet.  
Prediction markets let you trade a position before the game even starts — or even during line movement.

That means two edges matter:

1️⃣ True probability (Rithmm)
Your model tells you the real likelihood of an outcome.

2️⃣ Market price (Kalshi / Polymarket)
Markets show what the public thinks will happen — expressed in cents (e.g., YES at 56¢ = 56% implied probability).

When those two numbers disagree?

That’s your value.

Example Using a Real Market Listing

Here’s a sample Kalshi market for Georgia vs Alabama:

- Georgia win probability: 56%
- Alabama win probability: 44%
- Spread and total markets available
- Prices move throughout the day as traders vote with their wallets

Now imagine you open Rithmm and your model says:

- Georgia Win Chance: 63%

But Kalshi shows Georgia YES trading at 56¢.

That’s a 7% probability gap — and a clear signal the market is undervaluing Georgia.

This is exactly the type of edge our users capitalize on.

How to Use Rithmm + Prediction Markets (Simple Process)

Here’s the fast, repeatable workflow:

1. Open Rithmm → check Model Win Chance
For example:
- Georgia Win Chance: 63%

2. Open Kalshi / Polymarket → check current market price
For example:
- Georgia YES: 56¢
- Implied probability: 56%

3. Compare the two
- Market says 56%
- Model says 63%
- Rithmm identifies a mispriced opportunity

4. Enter a trade
You can:
- Buy YES shares  
- Sell NO shares  
- Or scalp intraday movement if sentiment shifts  

5. Watch the market move BEFORE the game
If public opinion shifts toward Georgia:
- The price might rise from 56¢ → 61¢
- You can sell early and lock profit  
- Or hold into game time  

And that’s the advantage prediction markets give you that sportsbooks do not — you’re not stuck with the position.

Why Rithmm Works So Well for Sports Trading

Prediction markets reflect public sentiment, not true probability.

Rithmm reflects predictive modeling & probability, not popular opinion.

That mismatch is where value lives.

Markets move because:
- A reporter tweets something  
- A star player trends on social  
- A narrative sweeps Twitter  
- The public piles into one side  

Models move because:
- Data changes  
- Player inputs adjust  
- True probabilities shift  

Together, these create opportunities where:
- Models see stability
- Markets overreact  

You profit from the difference.

Example: Total Points Markets

Your Rithmm NCAAF model shows:

- Predicted Total Points: 49.4
- Market YES on Over 47.5 is trading at 52¢ (52%)

Two things can happen:

1. If your model projects the under (or shows low win probability for YES), you skip or short the position.  
2. If public sentiment pushes YES up to 60¢… but the model stays flat… you get an easy contrarian opportunity.

This is why pairing Rithmm with markets unlocks a level of precision sportsbooks can’t offer.

Best Practices for Using Rithmm With Prediction Markets

✔ Always trade probability gaps, not stories  
If Rithmm says 63% and the market says 56%, that 7% is your edge.

✔ Be early  
Rithmm gives you signal.  
Markets give you volatility.

✔ Don’t chase movement  
Let the market come to you.  
Sentiment swings are where value appears.

✔ Learn intraday behavior  
Polymarket tends to move quickly on hype.  
Kalshi tends to move slowly on liquidity.

✔ Use Rithmm as your anchor  
When markets drift, your model stays grounded.  
That’s how you know when the price is wrong.

Why This Matters: The Future of Betting = Trading

Sports betting is evolving from:

“lock in a bet” → “trade a position like a stock.”

Rithmm is perfect for that evolution because it gives you:

- Real probabilities  
- Real differences vs market prices  
- Real edges before lines move  
- A fast, repeatable system to evaluate opportunities  

Sportsbooks give you odds.  
Prediction markets give you prices.  
Rithmm gives you truth.

Combine them, and you get unfair advantages every day.

Final Takeaway

Sports trading isn’t about guessing which team wins.

It’s about finding mispriced probabilities and acting before the public catches up.

And with platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket exploding in popularity, there’s never been a better time to use Rithmm for:

- Pre-game trading  
- Intraday swings  
- Market overreactions  
- Probability mispricings  
- Long-term ROI growth  

Open Rithmm.  
Check the model’s true probabilities.  
Compare with market prices.  
Trade smarter — all day long.
