By theme and by price

The same question, one theme at a time. Avg price is what those markets traded at. Yes paid is how often the Yes side paid. The gap between the two is the part worth reading: a group of markets with an average price near 55% that resolved Yes about 62% of the time is a gap of roughly 7 percentage points.

How this tool works

How to read this

  1. 01

    Type a price at the top. The page shows how often Yes paid at that price on a year of settled markets, and what $100 a bet would have returned.

  2. 02

    A price is a promise about frequency. A 30 cent contract claims Yes happens 30 times in 100. This page checks the promise against what happened.

  3. 03

    Read the third column against the fourth. When Yes paid more often than the price, those bets were cheap. When it paid less often, they were dear.

  4. 04

    The Brier score adds up the misses. 0 is perfect, 0.25 is a coin flip on everything, and most good forecasters land near 0.1.

  5. 05

    Two horizons matter. A week out is where you decide. A day out is where the news is mostly in. Sharper a day out is normal; sharper a week out is rare.

  6. 06

    Small samples lie. A bucket under thirty markets shows no rate at all, on purpose.

Method: every market settled in the last year that met the volume floor, priced from the middle of bid and ask (Kalshi daily candles) or the last daily trade (Polymarket price history) one week and one day before settlement, sports and entertainment left out. Rebuilt monthly by hand. Educational only. Past prices say nothing certain about the next market.

How the calculation works

  1. 01Settled markets are grouped by their price a week before settlement, in 10 cent buckets.
  2. 02Hit rate = the share of each bucket that resolved yes. Calibration = hit rate minus the bucket's price.
