Analysis
Minnesota's odds have surged dramatically from 1¢ to 22¢ over seven days, yet the market remains severely illiquid with zero 24-hour volume and only $410 in open interest, raising questions about price discovery reliability. The 485% implied yield on the Yes side is extraordinarily high and likely reflects the wide 19¢ bid-ask spread rather than genuine arbitrage opportunity. With 267 days until expiry and a moderate Cliff Risk Index of 4, this appears to be a speculative position with minimal market depth rather than an efficiently priced contract.
Resolution rules
If Minnesota is the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) Western Conference champion, then the market resolves to Yes.
