Traders seek an edge on prediction markets beyond just the odds

The CNBC Markets piece says gaining an edge depends on execution speed and specialized skills, not solely the probabilities shown on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket.

CNBC Markets reports that traders looking to outperform on prediction markets cannot rely only on the displayed odds on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.

According to the outlet, developing an edge requires additional speed and skills beyond interpreting the probabilities, implying that how participants act in real time matters as much as what the market indicates on screen.
