This set of markets focuses on predicting the outcome of the fourth quarter in an upcoming college football game, specifically analyzing the point differential between the two teams during that final period.
These markets resolve based on the point differential exclusively during the fourth quarter of the Arizona State versus BYU college football game scheduled for October 31, 2026, with overtime points excluded from consideration. Each market corresponds to a specific point threshold, with varying margins of victory required for resolution depending on which team wins the game. If BYU achieves a winning margin exceeding the specified threshold in the fourth quarter, the corresponding 'BYU wins by over X points' market resolves to Yes; conversely, if Arizona State secures a winning margin above the designated threshold during that quarter, the relevant 'Arizona State wins by over X points' market resolves to Yes. Should the game be postponed but commence within 48 hours of its original scheduled start time, all markets remain active and resolve according to the official final result of the fourth quarter. If the game fails to start within this 48-hour window, all markets will resolve to a fair price, ensuring equitable treatment for all participants regardless of game timing or postponement circumstances.
Prediction market odds often reflect the collective wisdom of a diverse group of traders, potentially offering a different perspective than traditional sportsbooks. Sportsbook odds are typically set by a smaller team of experts, and may be more susceptible to biases or initial reactions to news. While sportsbooks consider factors like team statistics and injuries, this market incorporates a wider range of information and sentiment as traders buy and sell contracts based on their own analysis. It’s common to see differences between the two, especially as new information emerges closer to the event.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders submit buy and sell orders for contracts, and the price adjusts based on supply and demand. If more people believe Arizona St. will cover the spread, the price of contracts representing that outcome will increase, and vice versa. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The current price reflects the probability that traders assign to each outcome. The market depth, visible on the dashboard, shows the volume of contracts available at different price levels, providing insight into the strength of conviction behind those prices.
This market resolves around Oct 31, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the final point spread of the 4th quarter of the Arizona St. vs BYU game will be used to determine whether Arizona St. won by more than 6.5 points. The resolution will be based on official game statistics and will be publicly available. Traders holding contracts on the winning side will receive a payout of 100 cents per contract, while those on the losing side will receive nothing.
Several factors could influence the price of this market before it resolves. Any news regarding key player injuries for either Arizona St. or BYU would likely have a significant impact. Changes in team performance, coaching decisions, or even weather conditions could also shift trader sentiment. Unexpected announcements related to the game, such as a change in venue or starting quarterback, could also cause volatility. Monitoring these signals and assessing their potential impact on the game’s outcome is key to understanding potential price movements in this market.
