Kalshi market structure is logically incoherent: all three outcome markets (Montreal win, New York win, Tie) resolve to YES simultaneously, creating a logical contradiction where exactly one outcome should occur but all three markets can resolve YES.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade Kalshi markets in this group. The resolution logic is fundamentally broken—if you bet YES on any Kalshi outcome, you cannot determine whether you won or lost because all three mutually exclusive outcomes resolve YES. Polymarket offers coherent binary markets where exactly one outcome resolves YES.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three mutually exclusive binary markets: Montreal Win (YES/NO), Draw (YES/NO), New York Win (YES/NO). Exactly one resolves YES based on the final 90-minute result. Resolution source is official MLS statistics or credible reporting consensus within 2 hours of match conclusion. Cancellation with no makeup resolves Montreal and New York markets to NO, Draw market to YES.
Kalshi: Three separate markets, each with identical resolution logic: 'If [outcome] wins the match after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, then the market resolves to Yes.' This creates a logical impossibility—the platform states all three markets resolve YES if their respective outcome occurs, but only one outcome can occur in a single match. The resolution rules do not specify what happens if the other outcomes occur, leaving two of the three markets with undefined resolution states.
