Alternatives
A marketplace lists markets. You have an argument.
BettorEdge is a real marketplace for sports bets with no house margin. People look for an alternative when the thing they want to bet on is not a sports line, or when they would rather bet a friend than a stranger. That is what Poll is for.

What BettorEdge does better
For serious sports betting BettorEdge is the stronger product and an alternative is probably a step sideways. Market pricing beats two friends guessing a fair line, there is liquidity so you are not waiting on one person, and they have done the regulatory work to operate across most US states. Poll has none of that and does not compete on it.
Pick BettorEdge if
You are betting sports at volume, you want a sharper price than a sportsbook line, and a stranger on the other side is fine by you.
Questions people ask
Why look for a BettorEdge alternative?
Usually because the bet you want is not a sports line. A marketplace can only price markets it lists, and most of what friend groups argue about is not one of them.
Does Poll have odds and liquidity?
No, and deliberately. There is no line and no order book. You and your friends agree the terms between yourselves, which is why any question works.
Can I use both?
Plenty of people do. Marketplace for the sports card, Poll for the argument in the group chat that no marketplace would ever list.
