The Bull Case For Prediction Markets

Ryan and David break down how prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are shaking up the traditional sportsbook model—think peer-to-peer bets on everything from elections to market moves. They walk through the nuts and bolts (how orders match, where liquidity comes from), spotlight the big players, and compare these platforms to regulated exchanges, exploring why Kalshi’s U.S. launch is a big deal.

Then it’s all about the bigger picture: can these markets be more than just gambling? The duo debates scalability challenges, looming regulatory battles, and whether prediction markets could become a new form of media or decision-making tool. Along the way, they highlight the unfair edges in sports betting, outline growth prospects, and give you a front-row seat to how these platforms might reshape finance and society.
