Volume and prices diverge
Philadelphia accounted for about 526,000 contracts at 46 cents, while Detroit recorded about 237,000 contracts at 54 cents, according to PredictionMarketPicks’ November 4, 1:20 a.m. EST snapshot.
The Philadelphia side ranked second by 24-hour volume across all tracked Kalshi markets. Detroit ranked sixth on the same measure, putting both sides high on the broader market activity list.
Outstanding positions favor Philadelphia
Open interest was also larger on Philadelphia, at about 433,000 contracts, compared with about 175,000 contracts on Detroit, according to PredictionMarketPicks.
The figures show a distinction between trading activity and pricing: Philadelphia had more volume and open interest, but Detroit carried the higher contract price. The report was published on Nov 4, 2026, at 1:30 AM ET.
What it means for prediction markets
- Activity is not the same as favoritism: Philadelphia’s larger volume did not translate into a higher price in this snapshot.
- Both sides attracted substantial participation: Their second- and sixth-place volume rankings were across all tracked Kalshi markets, not just sports.
- The figures are time-specific: Prices, volume and open interest describe the November 4, 1:20 a.m. EST snapshot, rather than subsequent trading or the game’s outcome.
