METHOD
How to read this page
A pick is the club the market prices higher to win the game; Chance is that price, the market’s probability. A 50/50 market is a toss-up, and a game without a market has no pick yet — Kalshi lists games a few days out. Nor does one whose sides nobody has traded and whose order books are too wide to read.
NHL games cannot end level: overtime and then a shootout decide them, and the winner of either takes the game market.
Prices move with every trade; each links to its market.
