Reading FC vs. Cardiff City FC

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Market resolves based on the final score after 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time only, excluding extra time or penalties.
• Reading FC win market resolves YES if Reading scores more goals than Cardiff; otherwise NO.
• Cardiff City FC win market resolves YES if Cardiff scores more goals than Reading; otherwise NO.
• Draw market resolves YES if both teams score an equal number of goals; otherwise NO.
• Exactly one of the three outcome markets will resolve YES.
• If the match is postponed, all markets remain open until the match is completed.
• If the match is canceled entirely with no make-up game, Reading and Cardiff win markets resolve NO, and the draw market resolves YES.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Match Postponement: If the match is postponed, all markets remain open and unresolved until the rescheduled match is completed. Resolution occurs based on the final outcome of the completed match.
• Match Cancellation Without Makeup: If the match is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled, the Reading win and Cardiff win markets resolve NO, while the draw market resolves YES.
• Resolution Source Hierarchy: Primary source is official EFL statistics. If EFL has not published final match statistics within 2 hours after match conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used as fallback.
