Analysis
This market shows extreme asymmetry with a 2879% implied yield on Yes contracts against just 11.7% on No, suggesting severe underpricing of Chicago's playoff qualification odds at 5¢ despite the team's historical competitiveness and 199 days until expiration. The $0 24-hour volume combined with only $7,529 open interest and a 1¢ spread indicates dangerously low liquidity that could make position entry/exit difficult, though the recent price movement from 5¢ to 6¢ hints at emerging conviction. The extraordinarily high realized volatility (1774%) and cliff risk index (16) signal this contract experiences sharp, unpredictable moves—likely driven by sparse information arrivals (0.5/h)—making it a speculative play rather than a reliable hedge.
Resolution rules
If Chicago WS is one of the 2026 Pro Baseball Playoff Qualifiers, then the market resolves to Yes.
