This event group covers a professional KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) ice hockey match between HC Dynamo Moscow and Ak Bars Kazan scheduled for March 20, 2026. Markets across Polymarket and Kalshi are pricing the outcome of this single game, with resolution tied to the final score including overtime and shootout rules.
Polymarket and Kalshi use fundamentally incompatible resolution logic. Polymarket resolves to the winning team's name (binary: Moscow or Kazan), while Kalshi resolves to YES for either team winning, creating a logical contradiction where both platforms cannot resolve identically for the same game outcome.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets settle identically. On Polymarket, exactly one of two outcomes resolves YES (Moscow wins OR Kazan wins). On Kalshi, both outcomes resolve to YES, which is logically impossible for a single game. Clarify with each platform whether Kalshi's market is actually a two-leg parlay, a data entry error, or uses different resolution mechanics before trading.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Outlier: Polymarket uses a binary categorical resolution where the market resolves to the name of the winning team. If Moscow wins, it resolves to 'HC Dynamo Moscow'; if Kazan wins, it resolves to 'Ak Bars Kazan'. Only one outcome can occur per game. Key quote: 'If HC Dynamo Moscow win, the market will resolve to HC Dynamo Moscow. If Ak Bars Kazan win, the market will resolve to Ak Bars Kazan.'
Kalshi: Outlier: Kalshi's resolution rules state that the market resolves to YES if either Moscow wins OR Kazan wins, which logically means YES resolves for all possible game outcomes (barring cancellation). This contradicts standard binary sports betting where only one team can win. Key quote: 'If HC Dynamo Moscow wins...then the market resolves to Yes. If Ak Bars Kazan wins...then the market resolves to Yes.'
