Awards and culture odds on Polymarket and Kalshi

Prize markets — the Nobels, major awards, person-of-the-year lists — are where the two venues disagree most, and for a structural reason: each lists its own slate of nominees. Kalshi and Polymarket often share only a third of the same names on a Nobel Peace Prize book, so the prices reflect different fields as much as different opinions.

Only outcomes that exist on both venues appear here. Where one venue lists a nominee the other does not, that name is simply absent rather than shown against a blank.

Frequently asked questions

Can you bet on the Nobel Peace Prize?

Yes, on both venues — though each lists its own slate of nominees and the two overlap only partly. The rows above are the names that appear on both.

Why do award markets have wider spreads?

They attract less volume, so books are thinner and bid–ask spreads wider. When a Kalshi book is wider than five points the range is shown instead of a midpoint, because a midpoint from a thin book would imply a precision that is not there.
