This past presidential election was the first where Americans could legally bet on the outcome. That event proved prediction markets to be a source of truth.
This episode offers two looks at prediction markets. In the first half of the show, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour joins Ricky Mulvey to discuss:
What he learned about Kalshi from this past election.
The difference between an events contract and gambling.
How prediction markets could disrupt sports betting.
Then, New York Magazine Features writer, Jen Wieczner, joins Mary Long to discuss her reporting on the billion-dollar betting platform Polymarket, and its legal challenges in the United States.
