Reading the odds on this market

At 10.5¢ for YES, traders are pricing about a 10.5% chance this happens, roughly 1 in 10.

$10 on YES buys about 95 contracts that pay $95.24 if it happens; $10 on NO at 89.5¢ buys about 11.2 that pay $11.17 if it does not.

The favoured side, NO, returns 11.7% if it wins, with the money locked up for 96 days until January 1, 2027; that works out to about 52.5% a year.

$98,111 has traded on it on Polymarket, with $89,140 still riding on the outcome, making it number 28 by volume of the 202 markets we track.

Payouts are before platform fees; one contract pays $1 if its side wins.

Prediction market prices are expressed in cents on the dollar. A YES contract trading at 10¢ means the market is pricing in a 10.5% implied probability of the event resolving YES. If resolution comes back YES, the contract pays $1. If NO, it pays $0.

Volume vs. open interest
