Bulls @ Bucks: the model and market comparison

A closer look at the Bulls @ Bucks alert, with its original numbers.

Deviate basketball alert card: Bulls @ Bucks; +6 percentage-point edge; model 65%, market 59%; outcome won.

The alert

Bulls @ Bucks — Chicago Bulls +4, 8:47 left Q4. Model 65%, market 59%, gap 6 percentage points; side: Chicago Bulls. Sent 6:09 PM ET on Oct 23, 2026. Outcome: won.

Chicago Bulls currently lead and our historical model gives them a ~65% chance to win from this exact situation (Chicago Bulls +4, 8:47 left Q4). Kalshi's market is pricing the same outcome at 59% (59¢ on YES for Chicago Bulls). That's a 6-point gap between the historical rate and the market price, so the contract looks underpriced relative to history. This reflects historical frequencies, not a guarantee. Late-game variance, injuries, and fouling situations can and do flip outcomes.
