Sports prediction markets
Kalshi's dominant category — roughly 80% of its volume. Compared to a sportsbook, prices here are probabilities without a bookmaker margin baked in.

Biggest 24-hour moves

Deepest books right now
Ranked by 24h notional volume. Polymarket reports dollars and Kalshi reports contracts, so we convert Kalshi to notional — the two venues' sampling still differs, so read this as "where the action is," not a precise league table.
Reading these numbers
Each price is a probability. A contract at 62¢ means the market puts the odds at 62% — and the gap between that number and the truth is the only thing worth trading. The field guide covers the three ways that price drifts away from real probability.
Before acting: payout and fees, position size, cross-venue gaps. Unfamiliar terms are in the glossary.
