This event group covers the men's college basketball game between North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils scheduled for March 7, 2026 at 6:30 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), spread betting (Duke -17.5 to -18.5), and over/under totals (146.5 to 147.5 points).
Polymarket uses conventional spread thresholds (18+ and 19+ point margins for Duke), while Kalshi publishes 22 separate binary markets with overlapping "more than" conditions (2.5, 5.5, 8.5, 11.5, 14.5, 17.5, 20.5, 23.5, 26.5, 29.5, 32.5 points for each team). The Kalshi structure creates logical redundancy and settlement ambiguity.
Hero Tip:
Use Polymarket's spread markets as your primary reference for margin-based settlement. Verify the final official score from NCAA.com. If trading Kalshi markets, confirm with Kalshi support whether each threshold is an independent Yes/No market or if cascading logic applies (e.g., only the first triggered threshold resolves Yes).
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Moneyline resolves to winner (NC or Duke). Spreads: Duke -17.5 resolves Yes if Duke wins by 18+; Duke -18.5 resolves Yes if Duke wins by 19+. Over/Under: 146.5 resolves Over if combined score >= 147; 147.5 resolves Over if combined score >= 148. All based on final score including overtime. Cancellation = 50-50 split.
Kalshi:
22 binary markets: 11 NC win-margin thresholds (2.5, 5.5, 8.5, 11.5, 14.5, 17.5, 20.5, 23.5, 26.5, 29.5, 32.5 points) and 11 Duke win-margin thresholds (identical spreads). Each states 'If [Team] wins by more than [X] points... then resolves to Yes.' No explicit guidance on whether multiple thresholds can resolve Yes simultaneously or if only one applies.
