One prediction market prices this story:

  • 4+ championships — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jul 2030. The market resolves to Yes if Miami Pro Basketball, Miami Pro Football, Miami Pro Baseball, and the Florida Panthers win a combined total of at least four championships between June 10, 2026, and June 30, 2030. The deadline for these victories is strictly before July 1, 2030. Readers often mistake the linked MLS story as relevant to the resolution, but only the specified team championships count.
