How FanDuel compares to Kalshi

FanDuel is a traditional state-regulated sportsbook — you bet against the house, and prices include vig (typically 4-5% on standard game lines). Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated event-contracts exchange where prices are set by user bid/ask; there's no traditional vig, just spread. On the same MLB or NBA moneyline, Kalshi mid-prices often beat FanDuel's no-vig fair line by 2-8 percentage points, with the gap widening on futures and player props.

How is Kalshi different from FanDuel?
Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated event-contracts exchange — sports outcomes trade as contracts between users, not against the house. There's no traditional vig; you buy YES or NO at a market-set price.
