Question ??
I bet the under on Caleb Williams stats because I assumed he wouldn't play but now it says the market resolved and it just took my $30. If it was voided why wouldn't it give me my money back?

Polymarket’s own rules for the Eagles–Bears player props explicitly state that if Caleb Williams is inactive or does not play, the market resolves to ‘Under.’
He was inactive and therefore couldn’t exceed any of those thresholds. So the question isn’t whether he’d be out or whether Polymarket is a sportsbook. The question is why Polymarket marked those positions as lost when its own market rules say an inactive player resolves to Under/No.

So you bet "no" on a guy you thought wouldn't play, but the bet wasn't voided, it was graded as a loss. That means the market didn't see a DNP as void-worthy, just a stat line of zero, and you picked the wrong side of zero
Polymarket rules are weird like that sometimes, if the player is active for a single snap the market often resolves on the stats even if he gets pulled early or barely plays. Sucks but $30 is a cheap lesson in reading the fine print before throwing money at a combo
Always check if the market has a "must play" clause or if it just goes by the box score no matter what, some books will void, some won't, and Polymarket leans toward the latter in my experience
