PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue:

Kalshi and Polymarket differ in scope and market structure. Kalshi offers a single binary market on whether over 2.5 maps are played, while Polymarket provides nine granular markets covering individual map winners, round/kill odd-even outcomes, and series handicap. The platforms resolve the same underlying match but settle different questions with different thresholds and conditions.

Hero Tip:

If betting on Kalshi's O/U 2.5 maps market, your outcome depends solely on total maps played (3+ = Yes, <3 = No). On Polymarket, you can bet specific map outcomes, round parities, and kill counts — each with independent 50-50 resolution conditions if maps aren't played. Ensure you understand which specific question you're betting on each platform, as they are not interchangeable.

Critical Divergence Points:

  • Kalshi: Distinct stance: Kalshi offers a single binary market on series length. It resolves YES if over 2.5 maps are played (i.e., 3 or more maps), and NO otherwise. The market uses HLTV as primary source and resolves based on the completed match result without granular map-level conditions. Key quote: 'If over 2.5 maps are played in the IEM Rio 2026: HOTU vs. Aurora Gaming CS2 match originally scheduled for Apr 13, 2026 at 4:30 PM EDT, then the market resolves to Yes.'
  • Polymarket: Distinct stance: Polymarket offers nine separate markets covering Map 1 winner, Map 2 winner, Map 1/2/3 odd-even rounds, Map 1/2/3 odd-even kills, series winner, series handicap, and total games O/U 2.5. Each map-specific market includes independent 50-50 resolution conditions if that map is not played (e.g., due to series clinch, forfeit, or cancellation). Key quote: 'If Map 2 is not played because the series result has already been determined (e.g., a team clinches the series before Map 2 is needed), this market will resolve to 50-50.'
