If so, then they must become easier to use if only to improve their accuracy. Or, maybe I'm missing something, and prediction markets are not intended to be accurate but just for fun (and possibly for profit) for those in the know. Side note: perhaps the term "prediction market" is too complex. I had no idea what it meant without someone (you!) explaining it to me.
