What if you could make 22% annual returns on something that's practically a sure thing? In this episode, James breaks down how prediction markets like Kalshi work — and more importantly, how to find the unfair edges most bettors completely ignore.
James walks through three live bets he made today: whether the US will confirm alien existence before 2027, how many SpaceX launches will happen in June, and what words Donald Trump will say at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Each bet reveals a different strategy for beating the market with data, not gut feelings.
What you'll learn:
Why sure things are consistently undervalued on prediction markets
The two types of unfair advantages that actually make money on Kalshi
How to use word frequency analysis to bet on Trump speeches with near-zero risk
How to build a diversified basket of sure-thing bets that compound over time
