What is a prediction market?
A prediction market is a market where you buy shares in an outcome. If the outcome happens, each share pays $1. If it does not, each share pays $0. The price of a share sits between those two numbers and moves while the market is open.

How a prediction market works
You pick an outcome and buy shares at the current price. While the market is open, the price changes, and you can usually sell before the result. When the outcome is known, winning shares pay $1 and losing shares pay $0.
Event markets and price markets
Many prediction markets ask about events: an election, a match, an economic report. Others ask about a price: will Bitcoin, Ethereum, or gold finish above or below where it started over a set time? Hyperprice runs the second kind, in rounds of 1, 5, or 15 minutes.
What a share price tells you
A share at 60¢ costs 60¢ and pays $1 if you are right. In markets where traders set the price, 60¢ is often read as a 60% chance. It is a price, not a promise: if your side loses, the share is worth $0.
