3 prediction markets price this story:
- Flávio Bolsonaro — the market puts it at 22%, with $117 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Oct 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Flávio Bolsonaro finishes first among Brazilian voters living abroad in the 2026 presidential runoff, based on official certified results. It resolves to No if he does not take that top spot or if the election does not occur as scheduled. Readers often mistake the general national winner for the specific requirement of leading only the overseas vote.
- At least 48% — the market puts it at 98%, with $933 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Oct 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Flávio Bolsonaro receives at least 48% of the certified popular vote in the second round of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The outcome depends entirely on the final official certification of the vote count, not on early polls or projections.
- Flávio Bolsonaro — the market puts it at 79%, with $265k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Oct 2027. The outcome is Yes if Flávio Bolsonaro wins the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The outcome is No if he does not win. Readers often mistake current polling data for the final result, but only the actual election winner matters.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
