Based on the historical performance of Blackstone's previous flagship funds, it seems that the net IRR for Blackstone IX could potentially range from around 8.2% to 37.3%, with an average of around 20.2% (excluding Blackstone VIII, for which data is not available). Although there is variability in the past performance, the majority of the funds have delivered a net IRR between 12% and 18.9%.
The current probability of 62.86% appears to be a reasonable estimate considering the historical performance of the Blackstone funds. However, given the limited information available, my confidence in outperforming the current probability is not strong enough to justify placing a bet.
Hence, I would choose to abstain from placing a bet on this market.
