PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict use identical resolution criteria and fallback data sources.Primary resolution logic: Official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers, with fallback to Flashscore, Sofascore, and credible reporting.

Core resolution logic:

The first team to score within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time determines the outcome.
If neither team scores within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, the market resolves to "Neither".
Postponed games will have resolution delayed until completion.
Canceled games will resolve to "Neither".

Edge cases & clarifications:

Data Availability: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours of the event's conclusion, Flashscore is used. If Flashscore is unavailable, Sofascore is used. If both are unavailable, 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).
Score Revisions: Revisions to officially declared final scores made *after* market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome.

Timing: Resolution will occur as soon as possible after the conclusion of the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, but no later than 24 hours after the event's conclusion, unless a consensus cannot be reached.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.

Sportsbooks set initial lines based on statistical models and expert analysis, while this market’s odds are dynamically adjusted by traders responding to new information and sentiment.
