Betting on prediction markets does feel similar to gambling, though there's a slight difference in how you approach it. Both involve risks and reward speculation, but prediction markets let you use knowledge, research, and strategy more directly. I've placed bets on sports and events through platforms like DraftKings, checking out draftkings reviews beforehand helped me understand what to expect. Like most things in life, moderation matters, treat it purely as entertainment, not a guaranteed income.
