Live DIY market and how betting works

It's a rapturous time to be in prediction markets, but is the promise of Kalshi and Polymarket to "financialize everything" a net good for society, or is it gambling in sheep's clothing? We actually have centuries of history that points towards a potential answer.

(Or, at the very least, a tote bag at a podcast festival.)

Place your bets.
