Contracts like this one have settled YES 49.7% of the time, and the crowd is charging 43c. Based on 312 settled markets across all categories in the 40-49c 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). After the 2c taker fee, that leaves about 5c 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 other curve it came from.

What history says about this price

Across our settled record, markets priced near 40–49¢ have gone on to settle YES 50% of the time (n=312).
