Episode description

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.
