Kaiden Booth

Kaiden Booth appears in Do prediction market bettors make anything better? as a Kalshi trader who flew to San Francisco to listen outside a stadium rehearsal and time Charlie Puth’s national anthem performance before the Super Bowl.

His example is one of the episode’s clearest cases of Prediction Market Trader Alpha as costly, physical, niche information gathering. It shows how prediction markets can reward unusual effort while also raising the question of whether this kind of edge improves public knowledge or mainly redirects attention toward tradable settlement details.
