Yeah - it is illegal under TX law (and the bots will tell you that) but it will still give you answers. Basically pointing you at prediction markets (e.g., Kalshi, Polymarket).

The article is very flawed by not going into the issue of whether these actually are bets in the first place. That question is VERY much in dispute in reality.
The article says each chatbot "hedges that betting on prediction markets may be outside the scope of the Texas law" but that's not a hedge. It's core to the issue here.
