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.

Cheltenham Tips 2026: How to Read the Form Guide and Trade the Festival Markets

Every year, millions of pounds are staked on Cheltenham Festival by people who picked their selection because it had a nice name or they overheard someone at work. This guide is for the other kind of punter — the one who buys the Racing Post the week before, studies the trainer statistics, and wants to make decisions based on actual probability rather than gut feeling and the Racing TV presenter's enthusiasm.

How to Read a Cheltenham Form Guide Entry

→Course form: has the horse run at Cheltenham before? Course winners are significantly more likely to win again
→Going preference: check the horse's Topspeed or RPR performance split by going type
→Trainer festival record: Mullins, Henderson, Nicholls have specific strong races
→Jockey bookings: who the top jockeys chose to ride tells you everything about confidence levels
→Weight carried: compare to previous wins to understand if the horse is weighted favourably

Real-Time Probability vs Static Bookmaker Prices

Bookmaker prices for Cheltenham are published at 10am the day before each race. They don't materially update until the morning market opens on race day. Prediction markets, by contrast, update continuously as news emerges — overnight declarations, going changes, trainer interviews. That 14-hour window between bookmaker price publication and race time is where sharp traders find value on Boromarket.

The Racing Post's premium content includes trainer interviews on the Monday and Tuesday of Cheltenham week. These interviews often contain coded information about confidence levels that moves prediction markets faster than bookmaker prices.
