Analysis
This market is severely illiquid with only $1 open interest and zero 24-hour volume, making the 3¢ price potentially unreliable. The extreme implied yield of 39,901% on the Yes side signals either a mispriced long-shot or a market too thin to trust, especially given that a 5-sweep first round would require an unusually dominant playoff performance across multiple series. With 30 days to expiry and a high Cliff Risk Index of 32, this contract carries substantial execution risk and should be approached cautiously by retail traders.
Resolution rules
If the teams in the Pro Basketball playoffs record at least 5 series sweeps in the 1st Round of the 2026 Pro Basketball Playoffs, then the market resolves to Yes.
