# of views of next MrBeast video on day 1?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the first 24-hour view count for MrBeast’s next YouTube upload, with the market currently pricing a zero-per-cent chance of hitting the lowest strike bracket. MrBeast, the most-subscribed creator on YouTube with over 505 million followers, routinely posts videos that exceed 100 million views within a day, making a zero-view outcome virtually impossible unless he fails to post by the July 2026 deadline [1][9].

Historically, his recent uploads have consistently broken records: a Squid Game-themed video reached 938 million total views, and even newer content has garnered 91 million views in just two weeks, far outpacing older benchmarks [6][5]. While some Reddit commentary notes a gradual decline in per-video views, the absolute numbers remain astronomically high, framing the current 0% probability as a mispricing unless the creator abandons posting entirely [5]. Traders should monitor MrBeast’s official channel for upload announcements and any statements about his 2026 content schedule, as the market resolves to the lowest bracket only if no video appears before 11:59 PM ET on 30 July 2026 [1].

Platform comparisons reveal key divergences: Polymarket displays decimal odds and charges lower fees with minimal KYC, whereas Kalshi and Betfair emphasise implied probabilities, enforce stricter identity verification, and apply higher transaction costs. On this specific market, Polymarket’s 0% implied probability contrasts with Kalshi’s likely decimal-odds framing, which could expose the mispricing more clearly to institutional traders. Smarkets’ fee structure sits between these extremes, offering a middle ground for those weighing liquidity against cost. The resolution source remains MrBeast’s YouTube channel, with any ambiguous values resolving to the higher bracket [1][10].
