NBA Best Regular Season Record on Polymarket US

This market will settle to Yes if the Los Angeles Lakers finish with the best overall regular season record in the 2026-27 NBA season, which is scheduled to end on April 11, 2027. If two or more teams tie for the best overall record, each tied team's market will settle at $1.00 divided by the number of teams tied. If the regular season is not completed as scheduled, the market will settle based on final records from the games played. Outcome sourced from the NBA.

No independent base rate yet. Until we connect one (sportsbook consensus, forecasts, the score), the market's own price is the best public forecast, and the fee sits on top of it.

All but decided, says the market. The remaining cents are the price of the rare surprise, and the fee comes off them first.

Fee and break-even by purchase price
If you buy at	Fee per contract	On $50	Win rate to break even
30¢	2.0¢	$3.32	32.0%
50¢	2.4¢	$2.38	52.4%
70¢	2.0¢	$1.43	72.0%
90¢	0.9¢	$0.47	90.9%
98¢ (now)	0.2¢	$0.10	98.2%

Resting (maker) orders pay nothing; orders that take liquidity pay the fee. Formula: 9.5% × price × (1 − price) per share on orders that take liquidity (accounts under $10,000 of 30-day volume; 6.95% in a new account's first week and above $250,000). Break-even assumes you hold to settlement; trading out early pays the fee twice.
