Cardi B's appearance at Super Bowl LX halftime roils prediction markets

A dispute has arisen in prediction markets concerning the definition of "performing" in relation to Cardi B's involvement in the Super Bowl LX halftime show. Over $47 million was bet on who would "perform" during the show. Although Cardi B participated, she did so without a microphone, leading to differing interpretations of her role. Kalshi defined "performing" as both singing and dancing, excluding her from their criteria. In contrast, Polymarket considered any participation, even without singing, as a performance. This situation highlights the complexities and potential for manipulation within prediction markets, where interpretations and insider knowledge can significantly impact outcomes.
