3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Starlink — the market puts it at 95%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a United Airlines representative mentions Starlink during the company's upcoming earnings call or Q&A session. It resolves to No if this specific mention does not occur within that event. Readers often mistake the source of truth, assuming any news report about Starlink counts instead of requiring a direct statement from United Airlines.
  • Above 15 million — the market puts it at 37%, with $49 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 4 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if SpaceX reports having more than 15 million Starlink active subscribers in Q3 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about AT&T as relevant to the resolution, but only SpaceX's reported subscriber count matters.
  • Starlink — the market puts it at 96%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a SpaceX representative mentions Starlink during the upcoming earnings call or Q&A session. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story for the resolution source, but only statements made during the specific earnings call count.
