ALT Dibs: One day. Different favorite. Actual portraits of Gadi Eizenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu above Polymarket YES-price history from October 27 at 2:38 PM to October 28 at 3:12 PM Eastern. Eizenkot’s midpoint changes from 62.1% to 26.1%; Netanyahu’s from 24.5% to 51.0%. Chart scale 0 to 100 percent. Market odds, not election results. Only two outcomes shown. The market resolves on a formal swearing-in.

ALT Dibs: The math is easy. The deal isn't. A 120-seat semicircle shows 48 blue dots for the Eisenkot bloc, 19 lavender dots for Arab parties combined, and 53 gray dots for the Netanyahu bloc. 48 plus 19 equals 67. 61 seats is a majority. This is a hypothetical sum, not an agreed alliance or final result. Provisional estimates attributed to Mako, October 28, 2026, 14:35 Israel / 08:35 Eastern.

ALT Dibs: Six out. Still favored. Thunder at Mavericks, October 28, 9:30 PM Eastern. Polymarket moneyline: Thunder 64.5%, Mavericks 35.5% as of 1:10 PM Eastern.

Lula received 51.79% and Bolsonaro 48.21% of valid votes in Brazil’s October 25 runoff, according to Agência Câmara citing TSE. A proportional bar compares these vote shares. Polymarket’s Brazil presidential election market is resolved: Lula YES, Flávio Bolsonaro NO. These are settled market outcomes, not live odds. Market status checked October 28 at 10:31 AM Eastern. AP reported October 27 that the U.S. will grant visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family.

ALT Dibs process explainer: Getting the mandate isn’t getting the job. Israel’s first nominee has 28 days to form a government, and the president can add up to 14 days. The sequence shown is get the mandate, build support, win Knesset confidence. Polymarket’s next-PM market requires a formal swearing-in. This is not an appointment announcement.

ALT Dibs rules explainer: The Knesset has a bouncer. A list needs at least 3.25% of valid votes nationwide to enter seat allocation. Hypothetical examples, not election results: 3.24% receives zero seats; 3.26% qualifies for seat allocation. Small margins can change coalition math.
