Analysis
This market displays extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume and open interest, making the 0¢ price unreliable despite the astronomical 1266.6% implied yield on the Yes side. The 47¢ spread is unusually wide for a binary contract, and the Cliff Risk Index of 1 indicates potential resolution uncertainty or data quality issues. With only 30 days to expiry and no trading activity, this contract appears either mispriced due to lack of market participation or faces ambiguity in how series length will be determined (best-of-seven format typically guarantees 4-7 games, making over 4.5 games highly probable in normal circumstances).
Resolution rules
If above 4.5 games are played in the Ottawa Senators vs Carolina Hurricanes 1st Round series in the 2026 NHL playoffs, then the market resolves to Yes.
