Robinhood has expanded its prediction markets to include professional tennis matches. The Garland vs Perez, Gorzny vs Basavareddy, and Dedura-Palomero vs Feldbausch matches are now open for trading. Users can buy Yes or No contracts on the winner. These markets resolve after the match, with payouts based on the outcome. The platform emphasizes that trading is restricted for insiders and that these are event contracts, not gambling. However, the line between speculation and betting remains thin.
