The rules

This market will resolve according to the club that wins the 2026 Japan Series (the Nippon Professional Baseball championship series). If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed club to win the 2026 Japan Series (e.g., they are eliminated), the corresponding market will resolve to "No". If the 2026 NPB postseason is cancelled, postponed after November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no Japan Series champion declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source will be official information from NPB (https://npb.jp); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

The full rules are on the market's page at Polymarket.

Reading the odds

A prediction market trades contracts that pay $1 if something happens. Its price is the market's chance: a contract at 62¢ means traders give it 62%. Each number here is the midpoint between the best bid and offer, or the last trade when they are more than ten cents apart.

For a question with many answers (who wins, which range a number lands in), the chances are scaled to add up to 100%. A price ladder ("above 4.25%, above 4.50% ...") gives a whole distribution: its median is where traders see an even chance either way.

Kalshi is a U.S. exchange regulated by the CFTC; its money is counted in contracts, shown here as dollars at their price. Polymarket counts dollars. ForecastEx is Interactive Brokers' exchange, regulated by the CFTC; its contracts too are shown as dollars at their price. Crypto.com lists its markets on Crypto.com | Derivatives North America, a U.S. exchange regulated by the CFTC; it reports the dollars traded. Where more than one asks the same question, each is shown, never averaged.

Prefer betting odds? Switch to American (+150) or decimal (2.50) odds at the top of the page.
