what are prediction markets? 🧐

reply

Betting on the outcome of future events.

e.g.,

Will the Ethereum merge result in some type of EthW fork with a token total valuation of at least $N?

Will [team] win the [match]?

Will [candidate] win the [election]?

good question, i also wonder why there are no sports betting apps on lightning.

average bet size is typically quite small ($8-10), and instant settlement is a big draw.

bc.game is the only one which accepts btc lightning and has sports betting on it!

Ben carman worked on a DLC for betting on super smash brothers games.

It's certainly as achieveable and would make a ton of sense (e.g poker games where there is a high number of transactions amongst multiple parties)
