This event group covers the Houston Dynamo vs. Los Angeles FC MLS match scheduled for February 28, 2026. Markets span three outcome categories: win/loss/draw results, and goal-differential thresholds for both teams. Resolution is based on the final score after 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and penalties.
Market architecture mismatch: Kalshi uses goal-differential thresholds (four independent markets with potential overlap), while Polymarket uses mutually exclusive binary outcomes (Win/Loss/Draw). Both reference the same match and time window, but measure different dimensions of the result.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as complementary, not redundant. Kalshi markets reward goal-margin prediction; Polymarket rewards outcome prediction. A single game result can trigger multiple Kalshi Yes resolutions but only one Polymarket Yes resolution. Reconcile positions separately by outcome type.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three mutually exclusive binary markets: Houston Win (Yes/No), LAFC Win (Yes/No), Draw (Yes/No). Exactly one resolves Yes per game. Cancellation with no makeup resolves Draw to Yes, Win markets to No. Key quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to Yes' (Draw market).
Kalshi: Four independent goal-differential threshold markets: LAFC >2.5 goal win, LAFC >1.5 goal win, Houston >2.5 goal win, Houston >1.5 goal win. Multiple markets can resolve Yes simultaneously (e.g., LAFC wins 3-0 triggers both LAFC markets). No explicit cancellation clause provided. Key quote: 'If Los Angeles F wins by more than 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
