Snapshot observed 2026-10-17T09:00:05.996Z. This analysis describes that snapshot and is not a live news update.

What the contract measures

The contract is titled "Both teams score in the 1st Half?" within the Kalshi event "Houston vs Dallas: First Half BTTS" [1]. According to the rules quoted in the source, the market resolves to Yes if Houston and Dallas both score a goal in the first half of the match originally scheduled for October 17, 2026 [1]. Only first-half goals count, and own goals count toward the team awarded the goal [1]. The source also says the market "will close and expire early if the event occurs" [1]. The wording is specific to the first half, so it should not be read as a full-match "both teams score" contract.

Reading the snapshot

The saved snapshot was observed at 2026-10-17T09:00:05.996Z and retrieved at 2026-10-17T09:55:59.130Z [1]. These are two different times: the provider data was observed first, and the source was retrieved later. Neither time is the contract's close or resolution time. The market is listed as active in the saved data [1].

The saved snapshot shows a Yes price of 0.21 and a No price of 0.79 [1]. These are prices recorded at the observation time. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The sample contains one market from one event on one platform, so it does not show how other contracts or platforms priced this match.

The saved market lists an end date of 2026-10-20T00:30:00.000Z [1]. The event-level source states "Listed end time: not supplied" [1]. This end date is a listed close time in the saved market data, not an announced event date. Because the rules say the market can close early, this listed time should be checked against the live contract before relying on it.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show current prices, the trading volume or number of traders behind the snapshot, or any reason the price is where it is. It also does not confirm whether the match was played as scheduled or whether any first-half goals have been scored. The saved sample includes all markets for this event, but the source notes that this does not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome [1]. Readers comparing this contract with a similarly named contract on another platform should check each contract's exact wording, scope, and listed close time, since differences in those details can change what the prices measure.
