anything that tries to assign to assign probability to outcomes related to human decisions is just telling you what the quality of the information is. when I see prediction markets trending towards 50/50 I just take it to mean the information is getting more garbage.

mmm I’m not totally prepared to generalize but with polling/voting stuff I’m pretty confident that betting markets and models going to 50/50 signals deterioration of data of some kind.
