A college basketball game between the University of Idaho Vandals and Portland State University Vikings scheduled for February 19, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET. Markets cover moneyline (winner), point spread (-3.5 and -4.5), and multiple over/under totals (142.5, 143.5, 144.5, 145.5).
Kalshi moneyline market contains a logical contradiction: both Idaho victory and Portland State victory map to Yes resolution, with no specification for cancellation or postponement. This makes the market fundamentally unresolvable and creates irreconcilable conflict with Polymarket's clear binary logic.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi moneyline. Polymarket markets (moneyline, spreads, totals) are internally consistent and resolvable. Confirm with Kalshi whether the moneyline is a data entry error or if additional resolution states exist.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Moneyline market maps both possible game outcomes to Yes: 'If Idaho wins...resolves to Yes' and 'If Portland St. wins...resolves to Yes'. No cancellation, postponement, or tie handling specified. This creates a logical impossibility: there is no scenario that resolves to No.
Polymarket: Moneyline resolves to Idaho Vandals if Idaho wins, Portland State Vikings if Portland State wins. Spread markets (-3.5, -4.5) resolve based on margin thresholds. Over/under markets (142.5, 143.5, 144.5, 145.5) resolve based on combined score. All markets explicitly handle postponement (market remains open) and cancellation (50-50 resolution). Key Quote: 'If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.'
