KALSHI CHARGES

MARKETS LIKE THIS SETTLED AT

AFTER THE 2¢ FEE

+3¢

Contracts like this one have settled YES 57.6% of the time, and the crowd is charging 53c. Based on 309 settled markets across all categories in the 50-59c band (we do not yet hold enough economics history to price this by category, so this is the market-wide curve and is weaker evidence). After the 2c taker fee, that leaves about 3c of edge per contract, if this market behaves like the ones we measured.

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 economics curve it came from.

What history says about this price

Across our settled record, markets priced near 50–59¢ have gone on to settle YES 58% of the time (n=309).
