Compare
No house either way. Different other side.
BettorEdge and Poll share a premise: no house, no bookmaker margin. They differ on who is on the other side. BettorEdge matches you with a marketplace of strangers on sports lines. Poll puts you against people you know, on any question you can write.

Poll: Only works if a friend takes it.
BettorEdge: Marketplace liquidity, so you are not waiting on one person.

What BettorEdge does better
BettorEdge is the stronger product if you want serious sports betting without a sportsbook's margin. A real marketplace means sharper prices and someone to take the other side without waiting on a friend, and they have done the work to operate across a lot of US states with identity verification in place. Poll has none of that liquidity and does not try to.
Pick BettorEdge if
You bet sports seriously, you want a better price than a sportsbook line, and you do not mind that the other side is a stranger.
Questions people ask
Is BettorEdge real money?
Yes. BettorEdge is a peer-to-peer marketplace where bettors take opposite sides of real-money sports bets, with prices set by the market rather than a house.
Why would I use Poll instead?
Because the bet you want is not on any board. Poll is for the question you and your friends are actually arguing about, including things no sportsbook or marketplace would ever list.
Do I need identity verification for Poll?
Poll works differently: you sign in and fund a wallet rather than going through a sportsbook onboarding. Check the help centre for what applies where you live.
