Ricketts leads Osborn in Nebraska Senate pricing as fees shape comparisons
PredictionMarketsPicks says its Nebraska Senate prices were updated on November 2 and refresh hourly through Election Day, with forecasters rating the seat Lean Republican. It notes buying 100 Ricketts contracts costs 71.47 dollars on Kalshi against 72.43 dollars on the other compared venue after fees.
Pete Ricketts was priced at 70 cents against Dan Osborn at 31 cents in the Nebraska Senate race on Kalshi, according to PredictionMarketsPicks. The figures put Ricketts ahead in the market comparison.
Pricing and forecast context
PredictionMarketsPicks said its Nebraska Senate prices were updated on November 2 and refresh hourly through Election Day. The report was published on Nov 2, 2026, at 7:45 AM ET.
The outlet also noted that forecasters rate the seat Lean Republican. That assessment points in the same direction as the market’s preference for Ricketts, without treating the outcome as certain.
Fees affect the comparison
According to PredictionMarketsPicks, buying 100 Ricketts contracts costs 71.47 dollars on Kalshi after fees. The corresponding purchase on the other compared venue costs 72.43 dollars after fees.
The summary does not identify that second venue. Its comparison nevertheless distinguishes the quoted contract price from the total cost of a purchase once fees are included.
What it means for prediction markets
- Ricketts holds the pricing lead: Kalshi’s 70-cent Ricketts price and 31-cent Osborn price favor Ricketts, alongside a Lean Republican forecast rating.
- Transaction costs matter: The reported after-fee cost for 100 Ricketts contracts is lower on Kalshi than on the unnamed comparison venue.
- Timing matters: The figures reflect the November 2 update; hourly refreshes through Election Day mean later prices may differ.
