What the contract measures

This event is a single Polymarket listing for a Scottish Cup match between St Andrews United FC and Jeanfield Swifts FC, and the excerpt sets out how it resolves [1]. The rules cover only the second half of regular play plus second-half stoppage time. First-half goals, extra time, and penalty shoot-outs are excluded [1].

The two saved markets use different wording. One asks whether "St Andrews United FC to win the second half?" and the other asks "St Andrews United FC vs. Jeanfield Swifts FC: Second half draw?" [1]. The rules also say the market resolves to "Jeanfield Swifts FC" if that team scores more second-half goals, but no separate Jeanfield market was saved in this sample [1].

The listed end time is 2026-08-08T14:00:00.000Z [1]. The excerpt describes the game as "upcoming," but that wording reflects the source text, and the listed date is earlier than the snapshot time. The evidence does not show the match result or whether the market has settled.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-16T00:00:06.034Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-16T03:01:08.339Z [1]. Both markets show a Yes price of 0.5 and a No price of 0.5 in this snapshot [1]. These are saved prices, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities.

The sample covers both saved markets for this one provider event, and it is not partial: 2 of 2 markets are included [1]. This does not show that the providers list every possible outcome in the real-world match. The two prices should not be combined or compared as if they came from a complete outcome field, and the equal prices do not by themselves indicate an arbitrage opportunity.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not include the match result, a settlement record, or any reporting on the game. It also does not explain the 0.5 prices or show how many traders are involved. Volume is not included in the excerpt, so it cannot be used to judge liquidity.

Resolution depends on official statistics. If those are not published within 24 hours after the event, a consensus of credible reporting may be used [1]. A postponed game stays open until completion, and a game canceled with no make-up match resolves to "Draw" [1]. Revisions to final scores after resolution are not accounted for [1].
