Futures for PPA Tour events are now available in the U.S. on Kalshi, a regulated exchange and prediction market where fans can trade on the outcome of real-world events.

A prediction market is a trading platform where participants buy and sell contracts based on specific events, ranging from pop culture to politics. Investors select markets aligned with their interests and trade using "YES" or "NO" contracts, with each trade affecting the consensus and reflected in real-time price changes.

This dynamic offers timely insights into trends and public sentiment, making prediction markets important tools for analyzing trends and public opinions.

- Each market has "YES" and "NO" contracts priced between $0.01 and $0.99

Example: If "YES" is priced at $0.65, that means the market thinks there's a 65% chance the event will happen.

- You can also search for the market that you are interested in (e.g., PPA Tour) using the search bar at the top of the page

4. Choose your position
- Decide if you want to buy "YES" or "NO"
- If you think the event will happen → Buy "YES"
- If you think it won’t happen → Buy "NO"

5. Place your trade
- Enter how many contracts you want
- Confirm the total cost
- Submit the order

6. Wait for settlement
- Once the event resolves, Kalshi settles the market
- If your side wins, you get $1 per contract minus small fees
- If your side loses, your stake is lost

Example: Profit = (Number of contracts × $1) – Cost of contracts – Fees
