A men's college basketball game between Gonzaga Bulldogs and San Francisco Dons scheduled for February 18, 2026 at 11:00 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), multiple spread thresholds, and over/under total points.
Kalshi presents 11 overlapping binary spread markets with redundant thresholds, while Polymarket uses three discrete spread thresholds. Kalshi also includes a San Francisco win condition absent from Polymarket's spread markets. The underlying game outcome is the same, but market structure and granularity differ significantly.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate product architectures. Kalshi is a collection of individual binary bets on specific spread thresholds; Polymarket is a categorical outcome market with discrete spread tiers. For arbitrage or hedging, map Kalshi thresholds to Polymarket equivalents: Kalshi >14.5 aligns with Polymarket -14.5 (15+ point win). Confirm exact threshold before trading.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: 11 separate binary YES/NO markets on Gonzaga spread conditions (>2.5, >5.5, >8.5, >11.5, >14.5, >17.5, >20.5, >23.5, >26.5, >29.5 points) plus one San Francisco condition (>1.5 points). Each market independently resolves YES if its condition is met. Key Quote: If Gonzaga wins by more than X points, then the market resolves to Yes.
Polymarket: Discrete categorical markets: moneyline (Gonzaga vs San Francisco), three spread markets at -13.5 (14+ point win), -14.5 (15+ point win), -15.5 (16+ point win), and three over/under totals (148.5, 149.5, 150.5). Each spread market resolves to either Gonzaga or San Francisco based on final margin. Key Quote: This market will resolve to Gonzaga Bulldogs if the Gonzaga Bulldogs win the game by 15 or more points. Otherwise, this market will resolve to San Francisco Dons.
