Prediction Markets - Simply Explained

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction markets platform. It allows traders to buy and sell contracts on the outcomes of future events - from political elections to economic decisions and sports results.

How Does It Work?

Each market on Polymarket represents a binary (Yes/No) or multiple-choice question. Prices range from $0 to $1 and represent probability:

$0.70 for "Yes" = The market estimates a 70% chance the event will happen
$0.30 for "No" = A 30% chance the event won't happen

If the outcome occurs, those holding "Yes" receive $1 per share. Those holding "No" lose their investment.

Why Do Prediction Markets Matter?

Academic research has shown that prediction markets provide more accurate forecasts than traditional polls and experts. The reason: when people put real money on their opinions, they tend to be more honest and do more thorough research.

Prediction markets are the most efficient way humanity has found to aggregate and disseminate information about future events

An account on this site is a local training account only. It is not a Polymarket account, and we will never ask for your Polymarket (or any other service's) login details, password, wallet or keys.
Content on this site is general and educational information only and is not investment advice, financial advice or a recommendation. Any decision to use a third-party service is yours alone, subject to that service's terms and the law that applies to you.
Some links to external services are referral (affiliate) links. They lead directly to the external service's own website, and never to this site's login pages.

What we collect

E-mail address and display name - provided by you when signing up with a one-time e-mail link, or received from your Google account if you chose "Continue with Google".
Your preferred interface language, and your training-mode data: virtual balance, virtual positions and training history.
A sign-in record for security: IP address and browser type (User-Agent) at sign-in, with the session's expiry time.
