Polymarket and Kalshi reference different teams with different naming conventions (Shanghai Haigang FC vs. Shanghai Port; Wuhan San Zhen FC vs. Wuhan Three Towns FC), creating team identity ambiguity. Additionally, Kalshi's market structure resolves YES for ALL possible outcomes (tie, Shanghai Port win, or Wuhan Three Towns FC win), making it logically incoherent and fundamentally unresolvable.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade on Kalshi's market—it is logically broken and will resolve YES regardless of match outcome. Polymarket's three binary markets (Shanghai Haigang win, draw, Wuhan San Zhen win) are coherent, but verify team identity alignment with official CSL records before committing capital. If Shanghai Haigang FC and Shanghai Port are the same entity, and Wuhan San Zhen FC and Wuhan Three Towns FC are the same entity, Polymarket is tradeable; otherwise, both platforms face team mismatch risk.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three separate binary markets: Shanghai Haigang FC win (YES/NO), draw (YES/NO), and Wuhan San Zhen FC win (YES/NO). Resolution is based on official CSL statistics within 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Cancellation with no make-up resolves draw market to YES and win markets to NO. Primary source: https://www.csl-china.com/. Team names: Shanghai Haigang FC and Wuhan San Zhen FC.
Kalshi: Single market with three resolution conditions, all resolving to YES: 'If Tie wins... then YES. If Shanghai Port wins... then YES. If Wuhan Three Towns FC wins... then YES.' This creates a logical contradiction—the market resolves YES for every possible outcome, making it unresolvable. Team names: Shanghai Port and Wuhan Three Towns FC.
