# Prediction Market A prediction market is a place where people can make guesses about what will happen in the future, like who will win an election or what the weather will be like. They buy and sell shares based on their guesses, and the price of these shares shows how likely people think the event is to occur. If the event happens as they guessed, they can earn money. It’s a way to see what a lot of people think will happen before it actually does. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
