Will Andrew Tate be found guilty of any of the charges he was detained for on the 29th of December 2022
💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 43% chance — less likely than not.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 43% right now.
The market is tight because Andrew Tate faces a newly active UK criminal case alongside an existing Romanian one, but prior UK civil claims resulted in no charges, creating a stalemate between fresh prosecution risk and a pattern of legal escape.
📊 Base rate: Among high-profile sex-crime cases involving public figures, conviction rates vary widely; however, for cases that proceed to trial in the UK, the conviction rate for rape is around 60%, though many cases never reach trial.
What's driving it
- • UK criminal charges for rape and trafficking were brought against the Tate brothers in May 2025 (NPR, May 28), which introduced a new jurisdiction and raised the probability of a guilty finding.
- • Andrew Tate sought assurance from the CPS he would not be arrested upon return to the UK, as heard in court in May 2026 (The Guardian, May 6), indicating ongoing legal jeopardy and no resolution yet.
- • No criminal charges resulted from prior UK abuse claims made in a civil case in September 2025 (The Guardian, Sep 29), demonstrating that some allegations have already failed to meet the criminal threshold and tempering odds.
- • Romanian legal proceedings, where Tate was detained in December 2022, remain unresolved with no recent update in the headlines, leaving the primary charge still active but stalled.
The case for YES
- • UK authorities actively brought criminal charges for rape and trafficking in May 2025 (NPR, May 28), showing prosecutorial confidence and a second chance for conviction beyond Romania.
- • Tate is seeking immunity from UK arrest (The Guardian, May 6), which suggests he perceives a credible risk of detention and prosecution there.
- • The December 2022 detention in Romania involved multiple serious charges, and ongoing legal processes in at least two countries increase the chances that at least one will yield a guilty verdict.
The case for NO
- • UK abuse claims from a civil case resulted in no criminal charges in September 2025 (The Guardian, Sep 29), indicating that some allegations have been assessed and found insufficient for prosecution.
- • Romanian proceedings have not produced a verdict in over three years, and no recent headline confirms a trial date or breakthrough, suggesting possible delays or lack of evidence.
- • The tight odds (52% Yes) reflect a near-even market, implying that the path to conviction is uncertain and hinges on unresolved procedures rather than clear evidence.
What to watch
- • A verdict in the Romanian case, expected possibly in late 2026 or 2027, would directly resolve the market if it occurs before 2027; a guilty verdict would push odds sharply toward Yes.
- • Further UK court rulings on the extradition or arrest of Andrew Tate, such as a decision on his CPS assurance request (The Guardian, May 6), could increase Yes odds if he is ordered to stand trial.
- • Any announcement of a plea deal or settlement in either jurisdiction would likely resolve the market No if it avoids a guilty finding, or Yes if it includes an admission.

Will over 100,000 people be conceived with the help of advanced embryo selection techniques by 2030?
The market sees advanced embryo selection as still niche and ethically fraught, but recent coverage of genetic optimization startups and IVF's expanding role in family planning suggests the technology is gaining momentum, making the 100,000-conception threshold plausible if regulatory and adoption barriers fall.
