NegRisk (negative risk) market
A Polymarket structure for multi-outcome questions where exactly one outcome can win, letting traders convert No shares across outcomes efficiently.
In a 2028 nominee market with twelve candidates, exactly one wins. A NegRisk market links the twelve Yes/No contracts so that holding No on every candidate but one is equivalent to holding Yes on that one. This keeps the sum of Yes prices near $1 and lets capital be reused across outcomes.
For a reader the practical effect is that prices in a NegRisk market are more consistent with each other than in unlinked markets, where the Yes prices across outcomes sometimes add up to 110 percent.
The mechanism runs on a separate adapter contract, which is why NegRisk markets show up differently in Polymarket's API and tooling.
