This set of markets tracks the potential margin of victory in an upcoming college football game, allowing participants to speculate on how decisively one team might win over the other. Each market corresponds to a specific point differential threshold that must be exceeded for the bet to pay out.
All markets resolve based on the official final result of the Rutgers vs Northwestern college football game scheduled for October 24, 2026. For markets predicting a Northwestern victory, resolution occurs if Northwestern wins by more than the specified point differential. For markets predicting a Rutgers victory, resolution occurs if Rutgers wins by more than the specified point differential. If the game is postponed but commences within 48 hours of its original start time, all markets remain open and resolve according to the final result. If the game fails to start within this 48-hour window, all markets resolve to a fair price, ensuring equitable treatment for all participants regardless of the specific point spread condition.
