Leverage Trading
Leverage allows you to increase your exposure to a prediction market without putting up the full amount of capital. Instead of using $100 to take a position, you can use leverage to control a larger position with the same capital.
If you’re right, your gains are amplified. If you’re wrong, your losses are amplified.
How Leverage Works on Gambit
When you open a leveraged position:
You choose the market (e.g. YES or NO on an outcome).
You select your leverage (for example 2x, 5x, 10x).
You deposit margin (your actual capital at risk).
Gambit increases your exposure using platform liquidity.
Example:
If you deposit $100 and use 5x leverage
You control a $500 position.
If the market moves 10% in your favor, your gain is based on $500.
If the market moves against you, your losses are also based on $500.
NOTE: Use leverage when you have strong conviction and want to increase exposure with less capital, but understand that while gains can be amplified, losses are amplified too and your position can be liquidated if the market moves too far against you.
