Recorded price path

This is a live Kalshi event contract. The price, 77 cents, is the market’s implied probability of YES. Whether that number is well-calibrated is its own question: our Truth Machine measures how often markets at each price level actually settle YES. Confirm live prices on Kalshi before trading.

Contracts like this one have settled YES only 75.1% of the time, and the crowd is charging 79c. Based on 233 settled markets across all categories in the 70-79c band (we do not yet hold enough other history to price this by category, so this is the market-wide curve and is weaker evidence). Buying this systematically has been a slow bleed, and the 2c fee makes it worse.

This is what this kind of contract has been worth, not a forecast for this one: a band average does not know what is happening in the news. See the Fair Value Board for every market scored this way, or the other curve it came from.

What history says about this price

Across our settled record, markets priced near 70–79¢ have gone on to settle YES 75% of the time (n=233). That is history, not a forecast for this specific market. See the Truth Machine for the full curve.
