Kane at 12¢ is mispriced. Our 10K Monte Carlo sim and Poisson model both flag him as a top-tier Golden Boot contender — penalty taker, deep-run favorite, proven tournament scorer. ~8:1 on the second favorite.
Buy Harry Kane YES at 12¢ on Kalshi's Golden Boot market. At ~8:1, the market is underpricing the most proven World Cup goalscorer in the field. England projects as the second most likely champion (13.5%), Kane's tournament xG is ~2.9 goals across a probability-weighted run, and he's the undisputed penalty taker. The 2018 Golden Boot winner scored 3 of his 6 goals from the spot — and this expanded 48-team format means more matches, more blowouts, more PKs. Group L (Croatia, Ghana, Panama) is a goal-scoring buffet with England projected at 1.71–1.82 xG per match. Kane's per-game goal expectancy rivals Mbappé's, but he's priced at nearly half (12¢ vs 23¢). Risk: early England exit (13.6%) or fatigue at 32 after a full Bayern season. But at 12¢ you're paying for a realistic shot, not certainty.
