What are prediction markets?

Prediction markets are platforms where users buy and sell shares in the outcomes of real-world events. A contract priced at 70¢ means the crowd thinks there's a 70% chance of that outcome happening. They're more accurate than polls and expert forecasts because participants have real money on the line.

How do prediction markets work?

In a prediction market, you buy YES or NO shares on an outcome. Each share pays $1 if correct, $0 if wrong. The market price at any moment represents the crowd's estimated probability. You profit by identifying events where the market price is wrong.

Boromarket is a mobile-first prediction markets app for iOS and Android. Users trade on real-world events across politics, crypto, sports, and entertainment. It features gamified prediction challenges, fast mobile UX, and a non-custodial wallet setup.

How is Boromarket different from sports betting apps?

Unlike sports betting apps where you bet against the house, prediction markets let the crowd set prices through trading. This makes them more accurate, transparent, and fair. You're competing against other traders — not an operator who profits when you lose.

What can I bet and predict on Boromarket?

Boromarket offers markets on politics (elections, policy decisions), crypto (Bitcoin and altcoin price movements), sports (game outcomes, season results), entertainment (award shows, cultural events), and more.

Is Boromarket a good Polymarket alternative?

Yes. Boromarket is a Polymarket alternative designed specifically for mobile users. Where Polymarket was built for desktop, Boromarket is built mobile-first with a fast, clean interface, gamified features, and iOS and Android apps.

How do I make money with prediction markets?

You make money in prediction markets by finding outcomes the crowd has mispriced. When a market prices something at 60% that you believe is 80% likely, buying YES shares has positive expected value. Consistent profits require genuine information edges, disciplined bet sizing, and tracking your results over time.

Can I play prediction market games on Boromarket?

Yes. Boromarket has built-in prediction games including Speed Predict (fast-paced real-time predictions) and Prediction Quiz (test your forecasting skills against real market data). These games make learning prediction markets fun and accessible.

Will AI Replace Your Job? Prediction Markets Have a Probability for That

The AI Labour Market: A Prediction Market Exists for This

The question "will AI replace X% of current jobs by [date]?" is genuinely uncertain enough to be a meaningful prediction market. Economists disagree significantly: McKinsey Global Institute estimates 15% of current work is automatable in the next decade; others suggest 30-40%; AI researchers like Dario Amodei speak of AI potentially performing the work of "almost all cognitive workers" within a few years. That range of expert opinion is exactly what prediction markets are designed to price.

How to Think About This Prediction Market

→The "task" vs "job" distinction matters: AI automates specific tasks within jobs, not usually entire jobs. Prediction markets need to be carefully scoped.
→Sector-specific timelines: coding, customer service, and data analysis face much shorter disruption timelines than plumbing or nursing
→Labour market adaptation: past automation (ATMs didn't eliminate bank tellers) shows the economy creates new roles even as tasks are automated
→Regulatory friction: employment law, liability frameworks, and union agreements significantly extend the timeline between technical capability and economic deployment
→Human preference: some tasks will remain human-performed even after automation is possible, because customers or regulations prefer human interaction

"The real prediction market question isn't "will AI replace jobs?" — it's "in which sectors, on what timeline, with what regulatory response?" Those are tractable questions."
