    Spread cost

    Wide spread — 100.0¢

    Bid-ask spread is wide enough that intraday moves overstate any tradeable advantage. Most of the headline pp move would be eaten by spread on a market order.

Market Description

On August 4, WNBA player Brittney Griner was sentenced to 9 years in prison in Russia for drug-related charges. Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, was originally arrested in February 2022 after a vape pen with hash oil was allegedly found in her possession. Before and after the sentencing, the governments of the United States and the Russian Federation have engaged in negotiations to bring her back to America. This market asks whether Brittney Griner will set foot in the United States between August 24, 2022, and December 31, 2022, 11:59:59 PM ET. If Brittney Griner sets foot in the United States between August 24, 2022, and December 31, 2022, 11:59:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purpose of this market, "setting foot in the United States" is defined as Brittney Griner physically entering the terrestrial or maritime territory of the United States. Whether or not Brittney Griner enters United States airspace during the timeframe of this market will have no bearing on a positive resolution. The primary resolution source for this information will be official information from government of the United States of America, official information from the government of the Russian Federation, and/or official information from the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), however other credible reporting may be considered.
