This set of markets focuses on predicting the point differential in the first half of a college football game between Central Michigan and New Mexico. Each market corresponds to a specific point margin threshold, allowing participants to bet on whether the winning team will exceed that margin in the first half.
All markets resolve based solely on points scored during the first half of the Central Michigan vs New Mexico college football game scheduled for September 5, 2026. A market resolves to 'Yes' if the listed team wins the first half by more than the specified point margin. If the game is postponed but commences within 48 hours of its original scheduled start time, all markets remain open and resolve according to the official result. Should the game fail to start within this 48-hour window, all markets resolve to a fair price, ensuring equitable treatment for all participants.
