Every named song carries a tossup probability, with markets pricing them all finely balanced. The headline catch-all is itself close to a coin flip, underscoring the even split between a specific hit and the wide field of possibilities.
Context
The central contract asks whether the first song Madonna sings at least some lyrics of during World Cup final’s halftime will be a song other than the 11 specified in the market. It resolves to ‘Other’ if an unlisted track opens the performance, or if the show is cancelled or delayed beyond July 31, 2026, or if Madonna does not appear. Currently, traders assign a 50.0% probability to that outcome, leaving the market close to a coin flip. The 11 named songs—from Song M to Song Y—all trade at tossup levels themselves, with chances that are close to a coin flip. No single track has broken out of the pack, reflecting the difficulty of predicting a setlist from an artist with a decades-deep catalogue. The catch-all ‘Other’ contract captures not only every unlisted song but also scenarios where the performance does not occur, making it a proxy for uncertainty around the event itself.
