Same game, Kalshi and Polymarket, cheaper ¢ after the taker fee — or Skip. This is how to read each row, tap a Yes button, and not treat the board as a pick sheet.
Open Markets. You should be able to say the page out loud in one breath:
Same game on Kalshi and Polymarket. We only mark a cheaper ¢ when it still wins after the taker fee. We do not pick a winner.
If that sentence is not obvious in ten seconds, the page failed. This guide is the caption under every row.
Each block is one fixture. Two columns. One side per row.
| Side | Kalshi | Polymarket | What we print |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 58¢ | 57¢ | 1–2¢ less on Polymarket after fees — or Skip |
| Brighton | 20¢ | 20¢ | Skip |
| Tie | 23¢ | 25¢ | cheaper on Kalshi after fees — or Skip |
Read across, not down. You are not choosing Arsenal vs Brighton. You are choosing where to buy the side you already want.
The sticker gap lies. Kalshi vs Polymarket fees adds rate × p × (1 − p) to each ask. Under 1¢ net, we refuse to dress noise as a shop.
Skip means the board did its job. It does not mean “the game is unbettable." It means this pair of books is not offering a price fight worth a tap.
Use this only as orientation. Rules and rails change.
| Kalshi | Polymarket | |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Event contract in dollars | Share that pays $1 |
| Price language | Cents | Cents |
| Typical sports taker | 0.07 × p × (1 − p) | 0.05 × p × (1 − p) |
| Account | Regulated US event-contract venue | Separate global / US entities; crypto rails on the global book |
| Our link | That market's Yes | That market's Yes |
We do not walk you through deposits, wallets, or eligibility. If you cannot legally use a venue, the row is decoration.
The calculators stay for lines that never touch Kalshi. Markets is only the two-book ¢ comparison.
No. The recommendation is the cheaper book after fees for a side you already want, or Skip. We do not name a winner.
After adding each venue's taker fee, the all-in prices are within 1¢. There is no shop worth the tap.
Live mids from Kalshi and Polymarket on the same game. We do not invent a price. Tap the ¢ to open that Yes button on the venue.
Use the venue the row names when it is cheaper after fees. They differ on dollars vs crypto, hours, and accounts. The board does not open an account for you.
