Analysis

The 12% probability indicates that Caleb Carr has a 1-in-8 chance of winning the 2026 Heisman Trophy based on current market pricing. This reflects moderate confidence among bettors, with Darian Mensah (11%) and other contenders clustered nearby, suggesting a competitive field without a clear favorite. The probability is primarily driven by Carr's current performance metrics and perceived trajectory relative to other top college football players. Key factors pushing the probability up or down include: his statistical performance through the remainder of the season, injuries to him or competing contenders, and media/voting sentiment as the award season approaches. The most significant catalyst will be the actual on-field performance during the remainder of the 2026 college football season, which directly influences both his candidacy strength and relative positioning against competitors.

  • Darian Mensah is the current leader at 11%, suggesting the market views multiple candidates as near-equivalent rather than favoring any single player decisively
  • 24-hour trading volume of $20,950 for Mensah versus lower volumes for other candidates indicates genuine liquidity and consistent market participation in this contract
  • The top five candidates span 11¢ to 3¢, indicating significant uncertainty and a distributed field rather than consensus around any single player
  • Contract pricing reflects pre-season or early-season period; actual game performance over the next several months will be the primary driver of probability shifts
  • Close clustering between the 12% leader and 11% runner-up suggests marginal differentiation in current assessment, making either modest outperformance or injury a potential catalyst for substantial repricing

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
