Prediction markets reported another record-volume weekend, driven by combos. At the same time, new research examines gambling-related ER visits and political bias in election markets. Prediction markets recorded more than $9.4 billion in notional trading volume over the weekend, while DraftKings and FanDuel poured another $7 million into Nebraska’s online sports betting campaign ahead of next month’s vote.
