Kix highlighted ongoing inefficiencies in prediction market parlays during Against The Odds podcast. The key issue revolves around correlation modeling - understanding how different betting outcomes relate to each other.
Market opportunity identified:
- Current platforms struggle with correlation calculations
- Liquidity providers who solve this could dominate
- Users want more leverage options but need better infrastructure

The discussion featured @Tyler_Did_It, @0xGeebz, and guest @SpeculatorArt exploring these market dynamics.
