What are prediction markets?

Prediction markets allow users to trade on the outcomes of future events. Users buy and sell shares in different outcomes, and the market prices reflect the collective wisdom of all participants. Example: Event: “Will it rain in Lagos tomorrow?” Outcomes:
  • Yes (currently trading at $0.65)
  • No (currently trading at $0.35)
If you think rain is more likely than 65%, you might buy “Yes” shares. If it does rain, your shares are worth $1.00 each. If it doesn’t, they’re worth $0.00.
