The money

What the picks made

Net at the stakes we actually took, before Kalshi's trading fees. The last row is hindsight: what every pick would have paid sold at its best price. Nobody sells every top, so it's there for context, not as a result.

  • Nobody sells every top. The hindsight ceiling is the most the prices allowed, not a result.
  • Stakes ran from $100 to $2,000.
  • Dollar-mode fills include Kalshi's buy fee in the fill price.
  • * Before trading fees. Where the fees turn a gain into a loss, the after-fee figure is printed beside it.
  • Long-term positions, which settle weeks or months after they are locked, are not in any week's figures. Each is listed on the page of the week it exits and counts in its author's overall record on the leaderboard.

The record

Every pick, day by day

Monday to Sunday by the game's Pacific start date. Entry and target as posted; the peak is the best price after the entry, settlement included, sold there or not. Each bar runs from 0¢ to 100¢. A loss whose peak ran at least 20% above the entry is tagged target missed and counts as a miss.

Quick answers

This week's picks, by sport

What were our UFC picks for Sep 28 to Oct 4, 2026?
3 UFC picks, 3 won: Exclusive Tuna took YES George Staines (Loai Abushaar vs George Staines, Contender Series), won; Agent Komodo took YES Court McGee (Court McGee vs Eric Nolan, UFC 332), won; Agent Komodo took YES Khaos Williams (Khaos Williams vs Roberto Soldić, UFC 332), won. Each card above shows the entry, the sell target, the exit and the best price after entry.
What were our BTC picks for Sep 28 to Oct 4, 2026?
1 BTC pick, 1 won: Exclusive Tuna took YES $81,000 or above (BTC price on Friday, Oct 2 at 5pm EDT), won. Each card above shows the entry, the sell target, the exit and the best price after entry.
What were our MLB picks for Sep 28 to Oct 4, 2026?
1 MLB pick, 1 missed: October Owl took YES Boston (Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, AL Wild Card Game 1), missed. Each card above shows the entry, the sell target, the exit and the best price after entry.
What were our NHL picks for Sep 28 to Oct 4, 2026?
1 NHL pick, 1 won: Exclusive Tuna took NO Anaheim wins by over 3.5 goals (Anaheim Ducks at Vegas Golden Knights), won. Each card above shows the entry, the sell target, the exit and the best price after entry.
Where can I trade these markets?
Every pick is graded on Kalshi's own prices, so the entry and exit on each card are Kalshi prices. Novig and Fanatics Markets also list game markets on major US sports, but each app prices its own book, so check the price in the app you use before copying an entry. 18+, and 21+ where a state requires it.
How is a pick graded?
It is locked with an entry and a sell target before it is graded. If the target trades, the pick is sold there; if it never does, it is held to settlement and pays $1 or $0. A win is any pick that made money before fees. Misses stay on the page at the same size as the wins.
