Where these numbers come from: Each figure is the market price of that contender’s contract — the mid-market quote where the book is tight, otherwise the last trade. Prices are not a forecast from Kalshi; they are what traders are paying.

METHOD
How these odds work
Every figure here is a live Kalshi market price. A contract on the 2026-27 NBA Rookie of the Year pays out at 100¢ if that contender wins the award and nothing if they do not, so its price in cents reads directly as the market's implied chance in percent.
The award is open to players in their first NBA season, and the board does not normalise anything: each of the 17 contracts is priced independently, and the figures are not all the same kind of observation — a tight book shows its midpoint, a wide one the last trade. So the column can sum a little either side of 100%. The gap is what independent pricing leaves behind, not a fee and not the cost of buying the field.
