Analysis

5d ago

The market is pricing in an extremely lopsided 92% probability for a Democratic win in MI-06, yet shows zero 24-hour volume despite $16.6M in open interest, suggesting this may be a stale or illiquid position. The asymmetric implied yields—15.9% for Yes versus 2,099% for No—reflect the severe mispricing of the No side, which would require a dramatic Republican upset to profit. With 200 days to expiration and a moderate cliff risk index of 12, this market warrants scrutiny as either a genuine Democratic stronghold or a potential arbitrage opportunity if fundamentals shift.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the MI-06 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/).
