Analysis

4d ago

This market shows extreme mispricing with Republicans priced at just 8¢ despite AL-02 being a historically competitive district, generating a stratospheric 2099% implied yield on the Yes side. The zero 24-hour volume combined with $16.6M open interest and a tight 1¢ spread suggests the market is illiquid and potentially stale, with the massive yield likely reflecting structural inefficiency rather than genuine edge. With 200 days to expiry and a neutral regime score, this appears to be a classic low-liquidity trap where the extreme pricing doesn't reflect actual election fundamentals.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the AL-02 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
