Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about prediction markets, our analysis methodology, and how to use DuelDuck Blog effectively.
Answer
Prediction markets are exchange-traded markets where participants buy and sell shares based on the expected outcome of future events. Prices reflect the probability of outcomes — for example, if a candidate trades at $0.65, the market implies a 65% chance of winning. Unlike traditional betting, prediction markets aggregate collective intelligence from thousands of participants, often producing more accurate forecasts than polls or expert opinions.
Answer
Research consistently shows prediction markets outperform traditional polling methods, particularly for political events. Markets aggregate diverse information sources in real-time, while polls capture a snapshot of stated preferences. Prediction markets also self-correct as new information becomes available, making them more responsive to changing conditions.
Answer
Bitcoin prediction market prices are influenced by on-chain metrics, macroeconomic data, regulatory developments, institutional adoption signals, and broader crypto market sentiment. Our analysts track these factors daily and provide data-driven analysis of how they affect market odds.
Answer
Election prediction market odds represent implied probabilities. A price of $0.60 means the market assigns a 60% probability to that outcome. These odds change in real-time as new polling data, endorsements, debate performances, and other events shift market sentiment. Our analysis helps contextualize these movements.
