There’s a saying in Vegas, the house always wins. I represented Nevada in Congress for more than a decade and I can attest to the truth behind that phrase. But what I learned is that it’s rarely a fair fight. The gaming industry works to stack the odds against competition, whether it’s at the tables, in courtrooms, or in the halls of Congress.
It was never a fair fight, which is why the gaming industry is so worried about prediction markets. Prediction markets are far from perfect, but they’re fair. There is no house. It’s no wonder the gambling industry is working overtime to stop them.
