Some key points from the article:

* The group, ⁠which operates 25 bars, many of ​them near the Dodger Stadium, made a $60,000 ​trade on Kalshi if the team did not advance

* The trade points to a small but growing use ​of prediction ​markets ⁠by businesses seeking protection against risks that conventional ​financial products may not cover
