Analysis

5d ago

This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $13.6K open interest, suggesting the position is largely static and potentially trapped. The astronomical 1,106% implied yield on the "Yes" side indicates severe mispricing or reflects genuine uncertainty about a relatively unknown candidate, though the flat 7-day price action at 33¢ suggests limited new information flow despite a 1.3/hour info arrival rate. With 67 days to the primary and a 345% realized volatility, this appears to be a speculative position with meaningful cliff risk rather than an efficiently-priced market.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the Republican Primary for Governor of Maryland, scheduled to take place on June 23, 2026. Resolution will be based on the overall winner of the primary, including any potential second round or run-off. If no 2026 Maryland Gubernatorial Republican Primary takes place, this market will resolve to “Other.” The resolution source for this market will be the first official announcement of the results from the Maryland Republican Party; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
