In the upcoming NBA game, scheduled for April 12 at 6:00PM ET:
If the Wizards win, the market will resolve to "Wizards".
If the Cavaliers win, the market will resolve to "Cavaliers".
If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed.
If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.
The result will be determined based on the final score including any overtime periods.
Kalshi's moneyline markets resolve YES for both possible outcomes (Washington wins OR Cleveland wins), creating a logical contradiction that makes these markets fundamentally unresolvable. Polymarket correctly structures its markets with mutually exclusive outcomes (Wizards vs. Cavaliers, spreads, totals).
Hero Tip:
Avoid Kalshi's moneyline markets entirely — they are logically broken and will resolve YES regardless of the game result. Trade only Polymarket's markets, which have proper binary or multi-outcome structures. If you hold Kalshi positions, seek clarification or withdrawal before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Outlier: Kalshi's moneyline markets (items 1-2) state 'If Washington wins... then the market resolves to Yes' AND 'If Cleveland wins... then the market resolves to Yes,' meaning the market resolves YES for every possible outcome. This is a logical contradiction that violates basic binary market structure. All other Polymarket markets correctly use mutually exclusive outcomes.
Polymarket: Aligned with standard prediction market logic: Polymarket structures all markets with mutually exclusive outcomes. The moneyline resolves to either 'Wizards' or 'Cavaliers' (not both), spreads resolve to 'Cavaliers' or 'Wizards' based on margin thresholds, and totals resolve to 'Over' or 'Under' based on combined score. All resolution criteria are logically sound and internally consistent.
