This market resolves based on the winner of the KHL ice hockey match between Spartak Moscow and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl scheduled for March 28, 2026. The winner is determined by the final score including overtime and shootout periods, with shootout victories counted as a one-goal margin for resolution purposes.
Polymarket and Kalshi use fundamentally incompatible resolution logic. Polymarket resolves to the winning team's name (binary: Spartak Moscow OR Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), while Kalshi resolves to YES for either team winning, creating a logical contradiction where both outcomes cannot coexist in the same market structure.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets are equivalent. On Polymarket, exactly one team name resolves YES and the other NO. On Kalshi, both outcomes resolve to YES, which violates standard binary market logic. Clarify with the platform operator whether Kalshi's market is actually a YES/NO binary or a multi-outcome market before trading.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Outlier: Polymarket resolves to the winning team's name as a categorical outcome. The market resolves to either 'Spartak Moscow' or 'Lokomotiv Yaroslavl' based on final score including overtime and shootouts (one goal added for shootout winner). This is a named-outcome market, not a binary YES/NO structure.
Kalshi: Outlier: Kalshi states the market 'resolves to Yes' if Spartak Moscow wins AND 'resolves to Yes' if Lokomotiv Yaroslavl wins. This creates a logical impossibility in a binary YES/NO market, as both mutually exclusive outcomes cannot both resolve YES. The resolution criteria are contradictory.
