In the upcoming NBA game, scheduled for March 19 at 10:00PM ET:
If the 76ers win, the market will resolve to "76ers".
If the Kings win, the market will resolve to "Kings".
If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed.
If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.
The result will be determined based on the final score including any overtime periods.
Kalshi's market resolves YES for both possible outcomes (Sacramento wins OR Philadelphia wins), creating a logical contradiction that makes the market fundamentally unresolvable. Polymarket correctly structures mutually exclusive outcomes (76ers, Kings, or tie/cancellation scenarios) with proper resolution logic.
Hero Tip:
Avoid the Kalshi market entirely — it is logically broken and will resolve YES regardless of the game result. Trade only on Polymarket markets, which have coherent resolution rules tied to actual game outcomes.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Outlier: Kalshi's moneyline market states 'If Sacramento wins... then the market resolves to Yes' AND 'If Philadelphia wins... then the market resolves to Yes,' meaning the market resolves YES for every possible outcome. This is a logical contradiction that violates basic market design principles and makes settlement impossible.
Polymarket: Aligned with standard NBA resolution logic: Polymarket structures the moneyline as a three-way outcome (76ers, Kings, or 50-50 in case of cancellation), with mutually exclusive resolution conditions tied to final game score. Spread and Over/Under markets use consistent threshold-based logic (e.g., '76ers win by 5 or more points' for -4.5 spread, '232 or more combined points' for O/U 231.5).
