controversy has emerged<\/a> over whether Cardi B actually performed during the Super Bowl LX halftime show.<\/p>\nMore than $47 million was wagered on the question who will \u201cperform\u201d at the game. Cardi B was involved in the show, but she didn\u2019t have a microphone. <\/p>\n
For Kalshi, the fine print became relevant. \u201cPerforming\u201d meant singing and dancing. Simply dancing in the background didn\u2019t count. <\/p>\n
Polymarket applied more liberal rules, allowing \u201cperformance\u201d to mean participation without singing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all another example of the bizarre reality of prediction markets, where inside information is fair game and there\u2019s often room for plenty of gray in otherwise black and white predictions.<\/p>\n
