Analysis

5d ago

The market is pricing in an extremely high Republican win probability at 89¢, but the asymmetric implied yields reveal significant mispricing: the No side offers a staggering 1,471.8% yield compared to just 22.5% for Yes, suggesting the market may be overweighting Republican chances in this district. With only $5 in 24-hour volume against $18.7M open interest and a tight 2¢ spread, liquidity is severely constrained despite substantial capital deployed, creating potential execution challenges for larger position adjustments over the next 201 days.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the NC-05 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/).
