This event group covers a professional KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) ice hockey match between Avangard Omsk and Ak Bars Kazan scheduled for February 17, 2026. Both Polymarket and Kalshi have created prediction markets on the outcome of this game, with resolution based on the final score including overtime and shootout results.
Kalshi market contains a logical contradiction: both possible game outcomes (Avangard Omsk win and Ak Bars Kazan win) are stated to resolve to Yes, which is impossible in a binary Yes/No market structure. This makes the market fundamentally unresolvable as currently written.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi market until the platform clarifies the resolution logic. The market description appears to have a copy-paste error or missing information. Contact Kalshi support to confirm whether a loss by Avangard should resolve to No, or if the market structure is different than presented.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Clear winner-take-all binary logic with explicit handling of edge cases. Resolves to team name if that team wins; stays open if postponed; splits 50-50 if canceled. Includes shootout scoring rule (one goal added to winner). Logically consistent and resolvable.
Kalshi: Contains unresolvable logical contradiction. States both 'If Avangard Omsk wins...resolves to Yes' and 'If Ak Bars Kazan wins...resolves to Yes.' A binary Yes/No market cannot have both outcomes resolve to the same value. Missing or unclear No resolution condition.
