Cross-Venue

W.E.T. tracks both books side by side — how they differ, and where their odds disagree. We take no bets and hold no funds; implied probability is a live market price, not advice. See the methodology.

Gap = points of disagreement on the favorite’s implied probability. A wide gap means the two crowds price the same outcome differently — a signal, not a recommendation.

Why the cross-venue view matters
A venue’s own site can only show its own book. W.E.T. is neutral — we aggregate both, align the same outcome across them, and surface the gap. When Kalshi and Polymarket disagree, that’s information: it flags where liquidity is thin, where a catalyst hasn’t fully priced in, or simply where two crowds see the same event differently. See exactly how we compute and align the split in the methodology.
Answers
Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated US exchange funded in dollars; Polymarket is a crypto-native, decentralized market funded in USDC and settled on-chain. Their event coverage overlaps on politics and sports but differs elsewhere — Polymarket runs the deepest crypto book, Kalshi the deepest economics and weather books. Both price contracts in cents that read as implied probability.
Often no. When both venues list the same event, their implied probabilities can differ — sometimes by double digits — because of separate liquidity, user bases, and rules. W.E.T. aligns the two prices on the same outcome and surfaces the gap; that cross-venue divergence is a signal neither venue can show you on its own.
Each book is its own pool of traders. Thin liquidity, a different mix of participants, funding frictions (USD vs crypto), and slightly different contract rules all let the same event settle at different prices on each venue until arbitrage closes the gap.
Neither is universally "better" — they suit different traders. Kalshi fits US users who want a regulated, dollar-funded venue; Polymarket fits crypto-native users and offers deeper coverage in some categories. W.E.T. is neutral: we aggregate both books as data, take no bets, and hold no funds.
