Kalshi market structure is logically contradictory and unresolvable. It requires the market to resolve YES for all three mutually exclusive outcomes (Shenzhen win, Beijing win, or tie), which violates the fundamental principle that exactly one outcome can occur in a single match.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi market. The resolution logic is broken—it will resolve YES regardless of the match result, making it impossible to lose. Stick to Polymarket, which has coherent binary markets for each outcome.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Three separate binary markets, each resolving YES or NO based on a single outcome. Market 1: Shenzhen wins → YES, else NO. Market 2: Draw → YES, else NO. Market 3: Beijing wins → YES, else NO. Exactly one market resolves YES. Resolution source: official CSL statistics or credible consensus within 2 hours post-match.
Kalshi:
Single market with three resolution conditions, each stating 'If [outcome] occurs, then the market resolves to Yes.' This means: If Shenzhen wins → YES. If Beijing wins → YES. If Tie occurs → YES. Since one of these three outcomes must occur, the market always resolves YES, making it logically impossible to resolve NO.
