Counter-Strike: ARCRED vs Butterfly (BO3) - NODWIN Clutch Series Playoffs

Platform comparison

Market context

ARCRED meet Butterfly in a best-of-three Round of 16 at the NODWIN Clutch Series Playoffs, with the match listed to start at 14:00 UTC. The market’s 9% YES price leaves ARCRED as a clear outsider, and the live pricing on Robinhood is notably wider than that, with Butterfly around 39¢ and ARCRED around 62¢, implying traders are still debating how much weight to put on the matchup rather than treating it as a near-certain result.[1][8]

Recent form points in different directions. Bo3.gg’s match page says ARCRED have no wins in the recent month and shows only one victory in their last five listed matches, while Butterfly are tagged at 75% over the recent half-year and have taken several recent series, including wins over Just Players and G2 Ares.[2] The same page also notes there have been no head-to-head meetings in the last six months, so there is little direct recent evidence to anchor a price and traders are leaning more on current form than on a familiar rivalry.[2]

The main catalysts are line-up confirmation, map vetoes and whether the fixture stays on schedule. Bo3.gg’s map notes suggest ARCRED have been stronger on Anubis and Dust2, while Butterfly’s best recent number is on Mirage, which means any veto that steers the decider towards their comfort maps could matter more than the raw outright price.[2] Sofascore and Cyber.sports.ru both list the fixture as not yet started, so any delay, reschedule, or late roster change before the 20:00 UTC settlement window would be more relevant to the market than historical pedigree alone.[1][3]

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
