# Browse Markets

> Find any Polymarket prediction market from Telegram — browse by sport, search by keyword, or paste a Polymarket link.

Overdog gives you four ways to find a market. Use whichever fits the moment.

## Browse with `/markets`

Send `/markets` to open the category picker. Choose **Sports** or **Politics** to start browsing.

## Browse sports directly with `/sports`

Send `/sports` to jump straight into the sports browser.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a sport">
    You'll see a list of available sports (football, basketball, tennis, and more). Tap one to continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a league">
    Choose from the leagues active in that sport — for example, NBA, Premier League, or ATP Tour.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Browse events">
    You'll see all active events in that league. Use the filter buttons to narrow the list:

    | Filter       | Shows                                     |
    | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
    | **Live**     | Events currently in-play                  |
    | **Hot**      | Markets with unusual trading volume       |
    | **Today**    | Events starting today                     |
    | **Tomorrow** | Events starting tomorrow                  |
    | **Futures**  | Long-dated markets with multiple outcomes |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an event">
    Tap any event to see its markets. Each market card shows the current odds for every outcome alongside an AI-powered insight about the market.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select an outcome">
    Tap an outcome to open the market card and start trading.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Search by keyword

Just type a keyword directly in the chat — no command needed. Overdog searches Polymarket in real time and shows you the top matching markets.

Examples: `Lakers`, `UCL`, `Trump`, `Bitcoin`

## Paste a Polymarket URL

<Tip>
  This is the fastest way to get to a specific market. Copy any `polymarket.com/event/...` link from your browser, paste it into the Overdog chat, and the bot opens that market card instantly — ready to trade.
</Tip>

Both event URLs and individual market URLs are supported:

* `https://polymarket.com/event/nba-finals-2025` — opens the event card
* `https://polymarket.com/event/nba-finals-2025/celtics-to-win` — opens that specific market

## Market cards

Every market card shows:

* **Outcome buttons** with live prices
* **AI insight** — a brief, data-driven analysis of the market
* **Rules** — the resolution criteria for the market
* **Limit** button — to set a limit buy order instead of trading at market price

Tap any outcome button to begin the buy flow.
