Kalshi's resolution rules are logically contradictory and unresolvable: all three outcomes (Dallas win, St. Louis win, tie) are specified to resolve to Yes, making it impossible to determine a single definitive resolution. Polymarket uses standard binary logic where each outcome resolves independently and consistently.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade on Kalshi's markets in this group — they contain a fatal logical flaw where every possible match outcome triggers a Yes resolution, rendering the markets unresolvable. Polymarket's three separate binary markets (Dallas win, St. Louis win, draw) follow standard prediction market logic and are resolvable. Trade only on Polymarket.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
Outlier: Kalshi's three resolution rules each state that different outcomes (Dallas win, St. Louis win, tie) all resolve to Yes, creating a logical contradiction where every possible match result triggers Yes. This violates basic market logic and makes the market unresolvable. Key quote: 'If Dallas wins... then the market resolves to Yes. If Saint Louis wins... then the market resolves to Yes. If Tie wins... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket:
Aligned with standard prediction market logic: Polymarket offers three separate binary markets, each with mutually exclusive outcomes. The Dallas win market resolves Yes only if Dallas wins, No otherwise. The draw market resolves Yes only if the match ends in a draw, No otherwise. The St. Louis win market resolves Yes only if St. Louis wins, No otherwise. Key quote: 'If FC Dallas wins, this market will resolve to Yes. Otherwise, this market will resolve to No.'
Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
