  • Win % shows the chance our model gives each side. In the Kalshi column, a $1 win contract costs traders this many cents.
  • To find the edge, subtract the price's break-even chance from our chance. The model calls 6 points or more wide, 3 to 6 clear and under 3 slim. Learn how the model works.
  • Before tip, we log every pick once. Later we grade it by the final score and by the closing line on our record.
