Fantasy head-to-head side bets
You take one team, your opponent takes the other, and you both put in the same amount. The money sits onchain until the fantasy week ends, then pays out. Nobody has to chase the loser.
Works with any league. Your opponent joins from the link and matches your stake.

What the two of you agree on
Poll is not on the other side of the bet. You write the question, you each take a team, and you agree on the amount. That is the whole arrangement.
Every Poll bet works this way, not just fantasy ones. More on social betting between friends.

When the week ends
The money went in on Thursday. By Monday night there is nothing to collect, only a result to agree on.
Both stakes sit in non-custodial wallets on Solana while the games run, and balances settle in USDC. The program is deployed at a public address, so the transactions are open to anyone who wants to check them.

Before you put money on it
Anything else is covered in the Poll help centre.
No. Poll does not read your league, so it makes no difference which app you run it on. You write the question in your own words and the two of you agree on the result.
You can call the bet off while nobody else has wagered, and your stake comes straight back. Nothing is locked until both sides are in.
A private bet opens only through the link you send, so it stays between the two of you. Make it public instead and it shows up in the Poll feed for anyone to find. More on public and private bets.
Everyone who wagered votes on the outcome, and the majority decides. If it ties, or if nobody can tell, both stakes come back in full with no fee. You can also dispute a result you think is wrong. More on ties and cancellations.
Adding funds is free and Poll takes a small percentage from winning payouts only. Withdrawals cost $1 to $2. The smallest wager is $0.01, so a $5 bet works the same as a $50 one. More on Poll's fees.
Cash is the label Poll puts on the amount. The balance and the settlement asset are USDC, a digital dollar designed to hold a value of $1, held on Solana. More on what USDC is.
