Money-Losing Strategies

Data: official Kalshi settlements

Series · Learning from failures

Most content about these markets sells winning strategies. We do the opposite: we cover the ones we have tested and measured in our own systems and that turned out to be failures, with their loss mechanism explained. If you use any of them, you will likely lose money; if you avoid them, you are already ahead of most people.

Why we publish this

Because almost nobody does: admitting a failure does not sell courses. But each of these traps cost us time or measured paper money before we understood it, and we would rather you learn from our record than from your bankroll. None of these pages describes a winning strategy — some work better than others, but none eliminates risk —: they describe concrete ways to lose, which is the knowledge that truly protects a beginner.
