How to bet this future, honestly
A futures bet ties your money up until the market settles, so the price has to compensate you for both the risk and the wait. Even the current favorite is no lock: at +400, Ty Jerome's implied chance is 20.0%, which means the rest of the field still wins this bet roughly 80 times in 100 even when the favorite looks inevitable.
The value, when it exists, is usually just behind the favorite: contenders whose path is easier than their price suggests, before a marquee result reprices them. What never works is scattering small bets across ten names. The book's margin on a futures board is built from exactly that habit.
