          Basically, these are sites where people can bet on virtually anything. Sports, of course, but also: Will the U.S. strike Iran? When will Taylor Swift get married? Will this politician use that word in a speech tomorrow? You buy a contract priced between zero and a dollar, with the price reflecting the overall market odds. If you’re right, it pays out a dollar.

          The New York Times kindly staked me $20 to try on Polymarket to get some insight into how it operates. I was able to make a little money off bets on Manchester United, my favorite football team.

          What struck me was how gamified these sites are. They’re designed to suck you in. I get emails all the time that basically say: “Look at this exciting thing that’s happening in the world! Why don’t you bet on it?’

          during the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Trump was posting the odds on Truth Social, Elon Musk was putting them on X. And they’ve been a little controversial from the start: There were questions over whether an individual was betting a huge amount of money on Trump. And then the concern was whether that could have an impact on how people viewed the race, and what they ultimately did at the ballot box.

          But it goes way beyond sports and politics. Nearly $12 billion was traded on Polymarket and Kalshi, the two biggest sites, in December alone. The Golden Globes featured Polymarket odds during the live telecast. They’re kind of everywhere now.

          It’s a big concern. The platforms offer bets on just about everything, so there’s a lot of insider knowledge out there. You might be someone who knows

          , for example. Around the time of the U.S. raid on Venezuela, a suspicious pattern of bets suggested someone cashed in on advance knowledge of the military operation.

         <span>
          There used to be more. In the U.S., prediction markets are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has some rules designed to prevent insider trading. But it’s a gray area how those rules are applied.

          Several years ago, Polymarket was fined by the C.F.T.C. for operating without proper registration and was pushed overseas. All the headline-grabbing markets — the bets on the Iran strikes, on Venezuela,

          — are available only on Polymarket’s overseas platform, though Americans can use them by hiding their location with a VPN. Polymarket’s U.S. site offers only sports bets.

         <span>
          And under Trump, the regulatory landscape has become more favorable. Donald Trump Jr. is an adviser to both Polymarket and Kalshi.

         <span>
          We don’t have evidence that anyone in the family is placing bets based on things they know from inside the White House. What we do know is that Trump Media — the company that owns Truth Social — is building its own prediction market, so there’s a pathway for the Trumps to make money as operators of one of these things.

          Polymarket says it’s an alternative source of truth. The argument is that the markets themselves give reasonably accurate forecasts on certain things. But its social media feed is very different: It’s full of quasi-breaking-news updates designed to get people betting. Our analysis found a pattern of intriguing but misleading statements, including some that are just plain wrong. There’s a perverse incentive loop — a false post moves the market, and when the market moves it draws more people in.

          One of Kalshi’s founders described his goal as “the financialization of everything,” which basically is the idea that every opinion, every decision, can be converted into a trade. To some people that’s exciting; to others there’s something dystopian about every corner of life boiling down to a profit opportunity.

          All athletes in women’s events will have to undergo genetic testing, the I.O.C. said. “At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat,” said Kirsty Coventry, the I.O.C. president and a former Olympic swimmer. “So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. In addition, in some sports it would simply not be safe.”

          Zhang Xuefeng became China’s best-known education influencer thanks to his no-nonsense advice about how to succeed in the country’s educational grind.

          When Zhang died this week at 41 of cardiac arrest, the news prompted an outpouring of shock but also of reflection.
