The “prediction market” is different because it’s for the already wealthy to make more money based on insider information. It’s not for you and me to put in $50 and walk away with $100 if we’re lucky, but for someone who already knows what’s about to happen to put in 500k, walk away with a million and then claim they made their wealth legitimately…
I think you completely skipped the most exciting part where it can also be used to launder money and make covert payments under the guise of winning bets.
