It's useful to keep the word "prediction" in there, and "gambling" implies almost total randomness so I'd rather use a word like "betting".

"Prediction betting" maybe? "News betting"?





Yeah, but then they (or at least Kalshi) advertise that you can get rich betting on tomorrow's weather.

I love the idea of prediction markets, AND I personally enjoy gambling, but legalized gambling has been a disaster in the united states, and (some?) prediction markets are shamefully leaning into that side of it as hard as they can.
