How to Use Combo in MEXC Prediction Markets
Key Takeaways
- About Combo: Prediction Markets combo is an advanced feature that combines multiple predictions into a single independent order.
- Risk and reward: All selected predictions must be correct to receive a payout. This offers higher potential returns but also increases risk.
- Multiple entry points: Users can access combo orders through popular combos, manual creation, and market detail pages.
- How it works: The process includes selecting predictions, reviewing order details, getting a quote, submitting the order, and tracking positions.
- Who it is for: Combo orders are suitable for users who have independent views on multiple event outcomes and want to pursue higher payouts with lower capital.
1. What Is a Combo?
Prediction Markets are specialized trading markets where participants buy and sell contracts based on the probability of future events. Prices reflect the market's collective view of how likely an event is to occur and fluctuate in real time based on trading activity and liquidity.
Prediction Markets Combo allows users to combine multiple predictions into a single order and hold them as one position. A combo is considered correct only when every selected prediction settles in favor of the user's chosen outcome. In that case, the position receives the corresponding payout.
In simple terms, a standard prediction focuses on a single event outcome, while a combo allows users to combine multiple predictions into one order and earn a higher payout if all predictions are correct.
2. Why Use Prediction Markets Combo?
Prediction Markets combo is designed to meet several common trading needs:
- Express multiple views in one order: When users believe several event outcomes will occur, they can combine them into one combo instead of placing separate orders.
- Higher potential payouts: Because every prediction in the combo must be correct, combo orders typically offer higher potential payouts for the same cost.
- Independent position management: Each combo is treated as a standalone position, making it easier to monitor and manage.
Please note that combo orders are more difficult to predict correctly than single-market predictions. If any selected prediction is incorrect, the combo will not receive a payout. Users should participate based on their own risk tolerance.
3. How to Place a Combo Order on Prediction Markets
The following five-step guide will help beginners understand how to place a combo order.
Step 1: Open the combo page
Log in to the MEXC website, open Prediction Markets, and select Combo from the Sports or Markets section.
Step 2: Select predictions
On the combo page, users can freely select multiple predictions. Each combo supports up to 30 legs. Once the limit is reached, some selections must be removed before additional predictions can be added.
The following types of predictions cannot be included in the same combo:
- Contradictory predictions: For example, selecting both sides of the same market.
- Overlapping predictions: For example, selecting both "Team A to win" and "Team A -1.5 Spread."
Because each combo is an independent order, the quote changes in real time based on the number of predictions and their probabilities. The platform updates quotes dynamically to ensure transparency. Users can currently build combos using predictions from Sports and selected Crypto markets. More categories will be supported in the future.
Step 3: Review combo details
Before continuing, review the following information carefully:
- Selected predictions: All predictions currently included in the combo.
- Quote: The current combined payout multiple for the entire combo.
- Quote alerts: If a quote is unavailable, the system will prompt you to adjust your selections.
After confirming the details, click Continue to proceed.
Step 4: Enter cost and get the final quote
Enter the amount you want to spend on this combo. The system will retrieve the latest quote in real time.
- The page may briefly display Processing while the quote is being requested.
- Once the quote is available, the system will display the payout if correct.
- Due to market fluctuations, the final execution price is determined at the moment the order is submitted.
Step 5: Submit the combo order
After confirming the cost and potential payout, click Submit to complete the trade. Once the order is placed successfully, the system will display the full combo details, including selected predictions, total cost, and potential payout.
Please note that if prices change at the moment of submission, the system will return you to the previous step and ask you to confirm the updated quote.
4. How to View My Combo Positions
After placing an order, you can view all combo positions in Positions at the bottom of the page.
MEXC uses color indicators to display the status of each prediction within a combo:
- Green: The prediction has been resolved correctly.
- Gray: The outcome has not been determined yet.
- Red: One or more legs lost, and the Combo is no longer eligible for payout.
These visual indicators make it easy to understand the current status of your combo positions.
5. How Prediction Markets Combo Settles
Combo settlement follows one core rule: all selected predictions must be correct for the combo to win.
Settlement rules are as follows:
- If all predictions are correct, the combo is settled according to the final confirmed quote.
- If any prediction is incorrect, the entire combo is considered unsuccessful and the position settles at zero.
- Combo settlement may take slightly longer than individual markets because all underlying events must be resolved before the final review is completed.
The platform uses a high-performance matching engine and reliable data sources to ensure that settlement is fair, transparent, and efficient. Funds are typically credited shortly after the outcome is confirmed.
6. Prediction Markets Combo FAQ
6.1 What is the difference between combo and a regular prediction?
A regular prediction involves only one event outcome, and profits and losses depend on that single event. A combo combines multiple predictions into one independent order, offering higher potential payouts if all predictions are correct.
6.2 Can I still earn a payout if only some predictions are correct?
No. Combo follows an all-or-nothing payout structure. If any prediction is incorrect, the combo will not receive a payout.
6.3 Why is the quote different when I submit the combo?
Prediction Markets prices are determined by real-time supply and demand. As new information becomes available, probabilities and quotes change continuously. The quote shown on the homepage or market page is for reference only. The final execution price is based on the latest quote returned by the system when the order is submitted.
6.4 Can I sell my combo position before settlement?
Yes. If there is sufficient market liquidity, you can sell your combo position before settlement to lock in profits or cut losses.
6.5 Why does combo settlement take longer than single-market settlement?
A combo can only settle after all underlying predictions have been resolved and the combined result has been reviewed. As a result, settlement may take slightly longer than for individual markets.
6.6 What are the risks of participating in combo?
The main risks include market risk from incorrect predictions, volatility risk from sharp price movements, and settlement risk if a market is canceled or resolved differently than expected. Beginners are encouraged to participate cautiously.
Conclusion
Prediction Markets combo provides a new way to combine multiple event predictions into a single independent position. While it offers higher potential payouts, it also increases the difficulty of predicting outcomes correctly. Beginners are encouraged to start with a small cost and a limited number of predictions, gradually developing their own probability framework and review process.
