Albertans can use offshore gambling services to bet on the likelihood of the province separating from Canada, and that concerns experts who feel that wagering on public policy could influence the results of the upcoming referendum and make the question vulnerable to market manipulation.

"The logic behind prediction markets is unlike a poll or a pundit. Instead, the bettor has to publicly put money on the line about their expectations and will lose hard cash for being wrong. This should incentivize accuracy, but only if one assumes the money on the line reflects genuine belief rather than privileged access.

Evidence that it may reward privileged access to information is accumulating."

Ashley Splawinski looks at the Kalshi and Polymarket betting markets where people have made money betting on who will be killed next and when, and explains why we're not likely to see much regulation of those markets soon.

There's the fact that Donald Trump Jr. is on Polymarket's advisory board and is a strategic advisor with Kalshi.

Why I'm betting on ATProto (and why you should, too)

Social media was supposed to connect us, but most of it has turned into ads, division, and loneliness. I'm betting on ATProto as a way to fix that, and not just for developers. Whether you're a scientist, journalist, or just someone who wants the internet to feel human again, I think ATProto matters for you too.

Should gambling taxes fund sports? Former Olympian says it's a 'devil's bargain' | CBC News

Will Trump bring peace, or more bombs? Shady speculators seem to bet right every time

The president may not be benefiting directly from betting markets, but he has encouraged a culture that treats politics like a casino floor, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik
