A college basketball game between Ball State Cardinals and Ohio Bobcats scheduled for February 17, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. Markets track the moneyline winner, point spread (-9.5 Ohio), and multiple over/under totals (142.5, 143.5, 144.5).
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket align on the same game, date, and final-score-inclusive resolution methodology, with identical postponement and cancellation protocols.
Primary resolution logic:
Final official score of Ball State Cardinals vs. Ohio Bobcats game on February 17, 2026, as recorded by NCAA and official box score sources.
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline: Ball State wins = Ball State resolves Yes; Ohio wins = Ohio resolves Yes (Kalshi binary structure); Polymarket resolves to winning team name.
Spread (-9.5 Ohio): Ohio wins by 10+ points = Ohio Bobcats; otherwise = Ball State Cardinals.
Over/Under 142.5: Combined score 143+ = Over; less than 143 = Under.
Over/Under 143.5: Combined score 144+ = Over; less than 144 = Under.
Over/Under 144.5: Combined score 145+ = Over; less than 145 = Under.
All resolutions include overtime scoring in final totals.
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Game Postponement: If the game is postponed, all markets remain open and unresolved until the game is completed on a future date. Resolution then occurs based on the rescheduled game's final score.
Game Cancellation (No Makeup): If the game is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled, all markets resolve 50-50 (split pool equally between Yes and No, or equivalent binary split).
Overtime: All final scores include any overtime periods played. The combined total for over/under markets includes all overtime points.
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after the final official score is recorded and confirmed by NCAA sources, typically within 1-2 hours of game conclusion on February 17, 2026.
