WFN hypothetical: a 78–82 result produces −4 for the selected team. That value is above −5 even though the team lost; it is not above −4, while it is at least −4.
What to check before drawing a conclusion
Record the selected team, segment, subtraction order and operator together. Switching team perspective reverses the sign, so a correct scoreboard alone is insufficient to reconstruct the contract question.

The differential is the selected team’s points minus the opponent’s. Losses are negative, ties zero; the terms permit negative thresholds and distinguish strict from inclusive comparisons. KalshiEX — BAL points-differential contract terms ↗

What the distinction changes
WFN hypothetical: a 78–82 result produces −4 for the selected team. That value is above −5 even though the team lost; it is not above −4, while it is at least −4.
The example demonstrates arithmetic, not an actual result. Dropping the minus sign or replacing above with at least would change the proposition at a boundary.
