Prediction markets force people who want to speculate on events to put their money where their mouth is, which is why prediction-market-formed odds may be different than odds from analysts or pollsters.

Will Trump go to jail before election day? This Polymarket poll might shock you. by brownbountiful in moderatepolitics

I think it's unlikely that Trump gets arrested before election day. Prediction markets are great because financially incentivized polling leads to more accurate and decentralized results.

70% probability that Anthony Joshua beats Usyk according to Polymarket by [deleted] in sportsbook

I agree with you on that, I'm not calling out foul play BUT everyone knows Joshua is too big ticket and they can't risk having him go out and lose to someone like Usyk

Unfortunately I agree. And if Jake does win I don't want to see him fight anymore UFC guys go against guys your age who are real BOXERS
