Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume and only $158.49 open interest, making the 23¢ spread and 906% implied yield on the Yes side potentially unreliable indicators of true market sentiment. The 64¢ price implies a first-round series going to at least six games (over 5.5), which historically occurs in roughly 50% of NHL matchups, suggesting the current pricing may be slightly elevated. With 27 days to expiry and minimal trading activity, this appears to be a thin, speculative market where the quoted yield figures should be treated with significant caution.
Resolution rules
If above 5.5 games are played in the Boston Bruins vs Buffalo Sabres 1st Round series in the 2026 NHL playoffs, then the market resolves to Yes.
