Kalshi markets measure goal margin thresholds (>1.5, >2.5 goals), while Polymarket markets measure match outcome (Win/Loss/Draw). These are orthogonal settlement dimensions, not contradictory, but require separate resolution logic.
Hero Tip:
Kalshi and Polymarket are not redundant. Kalshi bets on goal differential; Polymarket bets on result. A 1-0 Sydney win resolves Yes on Polymarket (Sydney win) and Kalshi (Sydney >1.5), but No on Kalshi (Sydney >2.5). Understand which dimension you are trading before placing orders.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Four margin-based binary markets: Sydney >2.5 goals, Sydney >1.5 goals, Auckland >1.5 goals, Auckland >2.5 goals. Each resolves Yes if the specified team wins by the specified margin or more. Key Quote: 'If Sydney FC wins by more than 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Three outcome-based binary markets: Sydney Win, Auckland Win, Draw. Each resolves Yes/No based on final match result. Cancellation rule unique to Draw market: resolves Yes if game canceled with no make-up. Key Quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to Yes' (Draw only).
