PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict utilize identical resolution logic, focusing on second-half goals (including stoppage time) and employing the same hierarchy of data sources.Primary resolution logic: Official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers, with fallback to Flashscore, then Sofascore, and finally a consensus of credible reporting.

Core resolution logic:

The team with more goals scored in the second half (including stoppage time) wins.
If both teams score the same number of goals in the second half, the market resolves to 'Draw'.
First-half goals, extra time, and penalty shoot-outs are excluded.
If the game is postponed, the market remains open until completion.
If the game is canceled, the market resolves to 'Draw'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

No Goals in Second Half: If no goals are scored in the second half by either team, the market resolves to 'Draw'.
Data Source Failure: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours, Flashscore is used. If Flashscore is unavailable, Sofascore is used. If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting is used. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market resolves 50-50 or to 'Draw' where applicable.
Game Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves to 'Draw'.

Timing: Resolution will occur once the second half of regular play plus any added stoppage time has concluded and official statistics are available (within 24 hours of the event's conclusion).Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market.
