Can you delve into how financial markets are using prediction markets as a gauge for consensus?

Brian EggerGUEST
because prediction markets have bubbled up in the context of the world of futures trading and contract trading, there are arguably opportunities to use them as either probability signals or hedging tools.

Brian EggerGUEST
I think that becomes more complicated in the world of sports where you could question what event you're necessarily hedging.

Brian EggerGUEST
But I will say that my view of this may be more as a gaming analyst, because that's my expertise, is that they certainly do seem to be sentiment indicators.

Brian EggerGUEST
I will also say that we have spent some time more informally, not scientifically, looking at the implied probability of a particular sports team winning an event as implied by the money line, let's say, on a sports book.

John LeeHOST
potential risks related to prediction markets? Can you explain some of the risks like insider trading, market manipulation?
