On April 5, 2025 at 9:30 PM ET, the St. Louis Blues face the Colorado Avalanche in an NHL regular season game. Markets across platforms are pricing outcomes on both the moneyline (match winner) and total goals scored (over/under at multiple thresholds: 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5). All resolution determinations will include overtime and shootout play, with shootout victories adding one goal to the winning team's final tally.
Kalshi settles on win-margin thresholds (spread-based outcomes), while Polymarket settles on combined total goals (over/under) and moneyline winner. These represent fundamentally different event types: Kalshi measures margin of victory, Polymarket measures total scoring volume and match winner.
Hero Tip:
If you bet on Kalshi, you are predicting whether one team wins by a specific margin (1.5+ or 2.5+ goals). If you bet on Polymarket, you are predicting either the total combined goals scored (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, or 7.5 threshold) or which team wins outright. A Kalshi YES outcome does not guarantee a Polymarket Over outcome, and vice versa. For example, a 3-1 Avalanche win resolves YES on Kalshi's Avalanche -1.5 spread but may resolve Under on Polymarket's O/U 5.5 (only 4 combined goals).
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Outlier: Kalshi resolves based on win margin thresholds only. All four markets resolve YES if either team wins by more than 1.5 or 2.5 goals; otherwise they resolve NO. Key quote: 'If Colorado wins by over 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes' and 'If St. Louis wins by over 1.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Outlier: Polymarket resolves on three independent dimensions: combined total goals (four separate O/U markets at 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 thresholds), moneyline winner (Blues vs. Avalanche), and spread (Avalanche -1.5). Each market type uses different resolution logic. Key quote: 'This market will resolve to Over if the Blues and Avalanche combine to score 6 or more goals' (O/U 5.5) and 'If the Blues win, the market will resolve to Blues' (moneyline).
