The main thing I've learned from prediction markets is that no one understands how probabilities work

The intuitive reasoning that people have is that if p(X) is greater than p(Y) and Y happens, the model is bad. Most people know this isn't right 

The correct model is that if you're predicting an infrequent event like the election there is no deterministic way to figure out if the model is good or bad by looking at that prediction. You need to observe the model operating over a bunch of events to get any good understanding of it.

Yeah, nobody knows what p(x) even means. Normal people do not understand what bids and asks and odds are.

That is only one of the reasons why I am building Uvio on Base. Because this whole consumer trading thing is likely not where it's at.
