Where YES + NO < $1.00 arbs surface for this matchup
Arbs emerge when the best-ask YES and best-ask NO prices are below $1.00 in aggregate for the pair. In this fixture, chalk-favorite dynamics vs longshot narratives can create a margin where buying both YES and NO on different contract lines yields a risk-defined edge.
