Reason/Resolution:
While the market prices suggest a high probability for 'Yes', this may be influenced by speculative trading or biased expectations among participants. Factors to consider include Kash Patel's relationship with Trump, political dynamics, and the likelihood of Trump being in a position to appoint an FBI director. Historical trends and expert opinions usually indicate such a nomination would be contentious and face significant hurdles, suggesting a lower probability than the market implies.

#2. Will Gold close under $2,500 at the end of 2025?

Max discrepancy: 49.5%

Yes

No

AI: 0.35

Open Date: 2024-12-31T19:35:46Z

End Date: 2025-12-31T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The Polymarket prices suggest the market believes there is an 84.5% chance that gold will close above $2,500 at the end of 2025. However, market prices can be influenced by factors such as liquidity, trader sentiment, and risk appetite, which might not accurately reflect true probabilities. Historical data shows that gold prices are subject to economic factors, inflation, and geopolitical tensions which could lead to significant fluctuations. Given these variables, a more balanced estimate accounts for potential underestimations of risks that could keep gold below $2,500.

#3. Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as Director of National Intelligence?

Max discrepancy: 48.5%

Yes

Market: 0.685

No

Market: 0.315


AI: 0.8

Open Date: 2024-11-15T18:15:42Z

End Date: 2025-06-30T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The market prices may reflect speculative trading or a temporary imbalance in demand for 'Yes' positions. Tulsi Gabbard being confirmed as Director of National Intelligence seems unlikely given her limited experience in intelligence roles and the political dynamics involved in such an appointment. Additionally, there are no credible reports or announcements suggesting her nomination. Therefore, the real probability of 'Yes' is estimated to be much lower than the market price suggests.

Yes

AI: 0.75

Open Date: 2024-11-13T17:03:35Z

End Date: 2025-06-30T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The market price suggests a high likelihood of confirmation, but such markets can be swayed by traders' biases and current sentiment rather than factual probability. Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality with limited political and defense experience, would be an unusual choice for Secretary of Defense, leading to skepticism among political analysts. Historical precedent and the political landscape suggest a lower probability than the market price reflects.

Max discrepancy: 43.8%

Yes

Market: 0.788

No

Market: 0.212


AI: 0.65

Open Date: 2024-11-14T23:19:40Z

End Date: 2025-06-30T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The market price for 'Yes' is relatively high, likely due to speculative trading and the current political context. However, several factors suggest a lower actual probability. RFK Jr. is known for his controversial views, particularly on vaccines, which might not align with Trump's broader policy goals or be politically viable. Additionally, the appointment of an HHS Secretary involves Senate confirmation, further complicating the likelihood. While there is some possibility due to RFK Jr.'s public profile and political connections, the challenges and broader political landscape suggest a lower real probability than the market price indicates.

Yes

Market: 0.78


AI: 0.45

Open Date: 2024-10-10T20:38:40Z

End Date: 2025-04-13T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The current market prices suggest a high confidence in Trae Young leading the NBA in assists, with 'Yes' priced at 0.78. However, market prices can be influenced by factors such as betting volume and sentiment rather than purely objective analysis. Considering Trae Young's historical performance and competition in the league, a more balanced probability distribution accounts for uncertainty and the potential for other players to outperform. Therefore, the adjusted probabilities are 'Yes' at 45% and 'No' at 55%.

#7. Lily Phillips has sex with 1000+ men in a day?

Max discrepancy: 27.5%

Yes

Market: 0.325

No

Market: 0.675


AI: 0.95

Open Date: 2024-12-04T21:32:58Z

End Date: 2025-02-28T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The probability of someone having sex with 1000+ people in a single day is extremely low due to physical and logistical constraints. The current market price for 'Yes' might reflect speculative behavior or misunderstandings about the feasibility of such an event rather than realistic expectations. Therefore, the 'No' outcome is significantly more probable.

#8. Will Payton Pritchard win 2024-25 NBA 6th Man of the Year?

Max discrepancy: 24.5%

Yes

Market: 0.495

No

Market: 0.505


AI: 0.75

Open Date: 2024-12-17T18:55:09Z

End Date: 2025-05-31T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The current market prices suggest a nearly even split, but this might not reflect true probabilities due to market imperfections. Payton Pritchard is a promising player but not a frontrunner for the 6th Man of the Year award. Typically, such awards go to players with standout performances and significant impact on successful teams, a status Pritchard has yet to consistently achieve. Additionally, competition from other prominent bench players in the league reduces his chances. Market prices may be influenced by recent performances or fan sentiment rather than objective assessment of likelihood.

#9. Trump ban on birth right citizenship in first 100 days?

Max discrepancy: 24.0%

No

Market: 0.31


AI: 0.55

Yes

Market: 0.69


AI: 0.45

Open Date: 2024-11-10T00:04:25Z

End Date: 2025-04-29T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The market prices may reflect speculative trading and the tendency for participants to overestimate dramatic policy changes. Although there is significant political rhetoric around the issue, the actual implementation of such a ban is complicated by legal, constitutional, and political obstacles. The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born in the USA, and any change would likely face substantial legal challenges and require legislative action, which is unlikely to succeed within the first 100 days.

Open Date: 2024-12-06T21:24:40Z

End Date: 2025-02-06T00:00:00Z

Reason/Resolution:
The current market prices suggest high confidence in Jared Verse winning the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, with a price of 0.88 for 'Yes'. However, market prices can be influenced by various factors such as speculative trading, limited liquidity, or recent news, which might not fully reflect the true likelihood. Adjusting for potential market inefficiencies, a slightly lower probability for 'Yes' is estimated, acknowledging uncertainties in player performance, team dynamics, and the competition from other rookies.
