Prediction market and games to participate
A market is a group of people engaged in buying and selling things. It can be
physical items as in a grocery shop, financial materials in the stock market or
services as in Uber. A prediction market works same as a physical market but
the only difference is the thing that is bought and sold. Here, predictions are
being bought and sold.
It can be prediction games or more precisely, shares in predictions.
Prediction market provides you with shares in the form an event result. It
could be events like Fantasy games or whether Donald Trumph will continue
as America’s next president and many like that.
Prediction market has two kinds of shares; Yes and No shares. The payout of
shares depends on whether a future event will occur or not. In a prediction
market, ‘Yes’ share pays out a dollar when the event occurs and pays
nothing when the event doesn’t happen. Likewise, ‘No’ share pays out
money when the event does not happen and pays nothing if it does. The price
of these shares is determined based on the number of buyers that are ready to
pay and sellers are ready to accept.
Amount is proportional on how participants believe the event is going to
happen, for example, Tamil Nadu Election. Prediction plots are played on
real-world events that include uncertainty, views and intuitions, or any other
element that may affect the results. The end result is that the chance of
occurrence of the event differs across people and across time. For example, if
there is a prediction market on whether Trumph will be elected again and any
scandal surfaces that decreases his chances, sellers will go on and cut down
the rate.
