Purpose

The purpose of opportunity markets is to surface new information. They are not intended to serve as absolute decision-making tools or replace the judgment of those making the decisions.

Decision-makers need insight before an opportunity occurs, meaning markets must operate in advance, not only when the outcome becomes apparent. For example, when a sports club scouts players for the summer transfer window, the pool of potential recruits is typically determined well before any player is officially signed.

Every participant who creates a market or buys on what would be the NO side in Prediction Markets is willingly giving up capital in exchange for information.
