What are prediction markets?

Prediction markets are group of open platforms where individuals can set a price to predict the outcome of a future event.

Specifically, prediction markets are tied to a wide range of real-life activities and events such as economics, politics, sports, stock prices, IPOs, and even other events like album releases, box office performances, โ€ฆ etc.

The prediction market basically motivates the users to do extensive research and conduct analytical studies before investing their money to choose or predict future event outcomes for a potential profit which is typically based on their knowledge and gut feeling. The prediction market prices indicate the โ€œcrowd opinionโ€ about the probability of this or that event. As such, one could witness impressive gains should one make a successful bet on an event the majority of people cannot predict.
