PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue: Kalshi market contains a logical contradiction where both possible outcomes (USA win and Slovakia win) resolve identically to Yes, making the market fundamentally unresolvable and unable to differentiate between outcomes. This is a data integrity failure in market structure.Hero tip: Do not trade the Kalshi version of this market. The resolution logic is broken - it will resolve Yes regardless of which team wins, making it impossible to profit from correct predictions. Use Polymarket exclusively, which has proper binary resolution (USA vs Slovakia) and handles edge cases like postponement and cancellation.

Critical divergence points:

  • Kalshi: Market structure resolves to Yes for both USA victory and Slovakia victory, creating a logical tautology. This makes the market unable to differentiate between outcomes. Key Quote: Both conditional statements conclude with 'then the market resolves to Yes.'
  • Polymarket: Binary outcome resolution with USA win resolving to USA and Slovakia win resolving to Slovakia. Includes proper edge case handling for postponement (market stays open) and cancellation (50-50 split). Key Quote: 'If USA win, the market will resolve to USA. If Slovakia win, the market will resolve to Slovakia.'
