El Mokawloon El Arab SC and Ismaily SC are scheduled to compete on April 9, 2026, in a Egyptian football match. The outcome will be determined by the final score within 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, with three possible results: a win for El Mokawloon, a win for Ismaily, or a draw.
Polymarket and Kalshi use fundamentally incompatible resolution logic for the draw market. Polymarket's draw market resolves YES if canceled with no make-up game, while Kalshi's draw market (labeled as 'Tie') resolves YES only if the match is actually played and ends in a tie. This creates a logical contradiction: the same cancellation event produces opposite outcomes across platforms.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the draw market across both platforms simultaneously. If you believe the match will be canceled, Polymarket's draw market resolves YES but Kalshi's does not. If you believe the match will be played and end in a tie, both resolve YES, but the cancellation scenario creates irreconcilable divergence. Treat these as separate, non-hedgeable markets.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Outlier on draw/cancellation logic: Polymarket's draw market resolves YES if the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game, but resolves NO if El Mokawloon or Ismaily wins. This creates a three-outcome structure where cancellation = draw resolution. Quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to Yes.'
Kalshi:
Outlier on draw/cancellation logic: Kalshi's 'Tie' market resolves YES only if the match is actually played and ends in a tie after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Cancellation is not addressed, implying the market remains unresolved or defaults to NO. Quote: 'If Tie wins the Al Mokawloon vs Ismaily professional Egyptian Premier League soccer game originally scheduled for Apr 9, 2026 after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, then the market resolves to Yes.'
