Kalshi UFO Files Release Market a Winner, Proof of Extraterrestrial Life?
Friday May 8, 2026 (12:05 am EDT)
This week, the popular prediction market Kalshi featured trading on whether the U.S. Pentagon would release those so-called "UFO files". Traders were giving this an 85% chance of happening by midweek. They were right. But for those contributing that more than $18 million in trading volume to the Kalshi Proof of Extraterrestrial Life market, you'll need to wait a little longer.

Search Interest in Xavier Becerra Heats Up as New Polling Shows Dead Heat and Odds Reflect This as Well
Friday May 8, 2026 (10:24 am EDT)
Heavy search interest was coming into the Gambling911.com website Friday morning for California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra, a Democrat. Becerra is now a slight favorite to win the race as the attacks against him pile on from both political parties. Politico Thursday morning reported that six former Biden administration officials, all of whom were granted anonymity to speak candidly about a former colleague, acknowledged the subject of Becerra’s unlikely rise has come to dominate their group chats and conversations while Republican candidate Steve Hilton (at 12-1 odds) says of Becerra's rise ""He's exactly what they (the Democratic Party) love: a career politician. He's done nothing else for 36 years."

Despite his solid numbers this season, Kylian Mbappe was given time off to recover from a thigh injury but he was recently photographed on vacation in Italy with actress Ester Exposito.

Paddy Power Owner Flutter Threatens to Quit London Stock Exchange for Good
Thursday May 7, 2026 (9:32 pm EDT)
The gambling giant behind Paddy Power and Betfair has threatened to ditch the London Stock Exchange in a fresh blow to the City. Dublin-headquartered Flutter on Thursday revealed it had launched a review of its listing on London’s main market which could see it leave the exchange for good. The gambling group said it expects to complete its review by the end of June and will make a final decision shortly after. Flutter’s threat to leave London for good now poses a fresh setback for the troubled exchange, which is also struggling to attract new listings. The company’s move to New York in 2024 followed its rapid expansion in the US through the acquisition of sports betting company FanDuel as it sought to capitalise on a loosening of gambling laws in America.

Preakness Stakes queries were beginning to roll in as BetOnline released odds and we received confirmation that Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not be racing in the second leg of the Triple Crown. Three of the top 11 queries were Preakness Stakes related. We should note there were not a significant number of impressions for the rather generic terms "preakness stakes" and "preakness odds". Even "preakness" was seeing a total of 100 impressions over the last 24 hours. This is not the greatest sign for the upcoming race. Detroit Red Wings and Sandro Tonali search queries were also pretty solid here at G911. Our soccer coverage overall at Gambling911.com is expanding due to such increased popularity, so stay tuned.

Gambling Crime (British Columbia)
Police Arrest 11 People in Maple Ridge, British Columbia Gambling House Investigation
May 7, 2026 (8:12 pm EDT)
Police have busted an alleged illegal gambling house in Maple Ridge, seizing a poker paraphernalia, cash, and a firearm. As a result of a six-month investigation and searches by multiple police teams 11 people were arrested. In November 2025, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia’s (CFSEU-BC) Joint Illegal Gaming Investigation Team (JIGIT) started an investigation into the suspected gaming house. “Illegal gaming houses are not harmless operations – they are often tied to organized crime and bring significant risks to public safety,” said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, police media relations officer. “These locations can become hubs for violence, exploitation, and other criminal activity, putting both patrons and surrounding communities in danger.”

May 7, 2026 (8:12 pm EDT)
$2 million has been traded in just over 24 hours on whether there will be a Hantavirus pandemic in the USA. Hantavirus is a rare but potentially serious viral infection spread mainly through contact with infected rodents or their droppings, urine, or saliva. Three passengers have died in an outbreak on board a Dutch cruise ship. Not everyone is thrilled with the Polymarket Hatavirus pandemic betting market.
