Analysis
Ole Gunnar Solskjær is priced at just 3¢ on Polymarket with an extreme 4604% implied yield on the Yes side, reflecting near-zero probability despite $974.8k in open interest and a notable 50% price increase over 7 days (2¢ to 3¢). The 2¢ bid-ask spread and zero 24-hour volume suggest illiquidity, while the high Cliff Risk Index of 32 indicates significant tail risk as the market approaches its 256-day expiry. The cross-venue data showing this market also listed on Kalshi at null¢ suggests potential data gaps or extremely depressed pricing elsewhere, warranting caution on the reliability of this valuation.
