The world is full of uncertainties. Yet, there is always a method in this apparent madness, a pattern that could have been predicted.<\/p>\n
The Corporate Finance Institute defines a prediction market as an \u2018exchange-traded market\u2019 where individuals can place bets on the outcome of a \u2018variety of events with an unknown future.\u2019 What could these events be? Well, they could be estimates of future commodity prices, exchange rates, or even the annual revenue results of a company.<\/p>\n
Although prediction markets date back to 1500 AD conceptually, the modern form of prediction markets, as we know them today, took shape around the 1880s on Wall Street, when presidential elections started impacting stock performances.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the prediction market has evolved significantly, developing itself on various underlying systems. These include the continuous double action system, the system of automated market makers and market scoring, real money and virtual money systems, and other crowdsourced forecasting methods.<\/p>\n
With the evolution of these systems, the reach and coverage of these markets have also increased. They\u2019ve grown significantly to cater to a wide array of interactive spaces, including sporting events, macroeconomic outcomes, and political contests.<\/p>\n
The reputational growth of the prediction market as a space that needs to be paid attention to has involved a range of factors. For instance, it has thrived on its ability to incorporate new information fast, shown resilience to manipulation, and lowered statistical errors as compared to professional forecasters and pollsters.<\/p>\n
