DEVIATERockets @ Spurs: the model and market comparison
A closer look at the Rockets @ Spurs alert, with its original numbers.
The alert
Rockets @ Spurs — Houston Rockets +7, 5:50 left Q3. Model 70%, market 59%, gap 11 percentage points; side: Houston Rockets. Sent 11:19 PM ET on Oct 23, 2026. Outcome: won.
Houston Rockets currently lead and our historical model gives them a ~70% chance to win from this exact situation (Houston Rockets +7, 5:50 left Q3). Kalshi's market is pricing the same outcome at 59% (59¢ on YES for Houston Rockets). That's a 11-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.
