But now a journal investigation has found that most people are losing money on prediction markets.
Neil Mehta is one of three journalists who led the investigation.
Our reporting also looked at mentioned markets, which allow people to bet on how likely a word is to be mentioned in an interview or speeches like the State of the Union.

Today's show was produced by Hattie Moyer.
Our supervising producer is Sondra Kailhoff.
And I'm Daniel Bach for The Wall Street Journal.
