16 for 16: the NFL, WNBA and Bitcoin parlay, leg by leg
Sixteen markets in one Kalshi combo, emailed to members before kickoff: what each leg needed, how close each one came, what the price said the odds were, and what cashing out early gave up.
The short version
Every leg won. $28.12 bought a ticket the market priced at about 5.1% to hit. It was sold for $324.62 (+1,054%) before the last leg settled, and held to the end it would have paid $546.51 (+1,843%). The closest call was the first leg to settle: Bitcoin finished its 15-minute window $6.50 above the target.

What the price said
At $28.12 for a $546.51 maximum, the combo was priced at about 5.1%: roughly a 1 in 19 chance that all 16 legs hit.
Read as 16 independent legs, that is about 83% a leg. Four games carry more than one leg (both quarterbacks and the under on Chargers at Bills, for one), so the legs are not fully independent and this is the market's joint price read two ways, not a model of each leg.
How the ticket was built
The desk's breakdown after the fact, from the results. It is not the note that went to members.
Floors, not forecasts. Eight legs ask a starting quarterback for 150 passing yards. That is a floor rather than a call for a big day: the leg loses to an injury, an early exit in a blowout, or weather. All eight cleared, the tightest by 17 yards (C.J. Stroud) and the widest by 171 (Geno Smith).
Unders on totals set far above normal scoring. Three legs take No on game totals of 68.5, 69.5 and 71.5 points, alternate lines well above where NFL games usually land. That is why they sit next to passing floors from the same games without contradiction: 150 yards each for Josh Allen and Justin Herbert is nowhere near a 72-point game. Arizona at San Francisco came closest, 66 points against 68.5.
Four WNBA playoff overs. Three cleared by 17.5 points or more. New York at Minnesota, the early tip, cleared by 5.5.
One Bitcoin 15-minute window. The $84,502.01 target was the previous window's settle, so the leg asked whether Bitcoin would finish the 11:45 PM to midnight PT window at or above where it started. That is the closest thing to a coin flip on the ticket, and it settled first: $84,508.51, $6.50 clear.
The cash-out, and what holding would have paid
The ticket was sold for $324.62 before it settled. That locked in $296.50 on $28.12, +1,054%.
Every leg then won, so holding would have hit for the full $546.51, +1,843%: $221.89 more than the sale.
The sale price is 59.4% of the maximum, roughly what the market gave the legs still open at that moment. Selling took the risk off the table while those legs were live; in hindsight the hold paid more. That is the trade every cash-out makes.
