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.

FTSE 100 Prediction Markets 2026: Trading UK Blue-Chip Index Outcomes

The FTSE 100 is the UK's headline equity index — 100 of London Stock Exchange's largest companies by market capitalisation. Prediction markets around its level, direction, and relative performance to other major indices attract genuine trading volume from UK-based participants throughout 2026.

FTSE 100 Market Types

FTSE 100 prediction markets typically ask discrete outcome questions: 'Will the FTSE 100 close above 8,500 at year end?', 'Will the FTSE 100 outperform the S&P 500 in 2026?', 'Will the FTSE 100 experience a 10% correction at any point in 2026?'. These resolve against official close prices on specified dates.

What Drives FTSE 100 in 2026

→Sterling exchange rate — FTSE 100 earns ~75% of revenue overseas; weaker GBP boosts index
→Global commodity prices — mining and energy companies are significant FTSE 100 components
→US equity market direction — FTSE correlation with S&P 500 is significant
→Bank of England policy — rate cuts benefit interest-rate sensitive sectors
→UK political risk — budget announcements, regulatory changes, energy policy

The Sterling Relationship

The FTSE 100's heavy overseas revenue exposure means it has an unusual negative correlation with sterling. When the pound weakens, FTSE 100 earnings in sterling terms rise — and the index tends to outperform. This counterintuitive relationship creates mispricing in prediction markets that focus only on UK economic fundamentals.

💷

FTSE 100 prediction markets that ignore sterling dynamics are frequently mispriced. A UK economic slowdown that weakens the pound can simultaneously lower domestic growth expectations but raise FTSE 100 earnings expectations. Track both.

Sector Concentration Risk

The FTSE 100 is heavily concentrated in financial services, energy, and mining — sectors that behave very differently from the broad economy. A prediction market positioned on 'UK economic outperformance' but expressed through the FTSE 100 is getting a very skewed exposure. Understand what you're actually trading.

"FTSE 100 prediction markets are genuinely different from UK economic prediction markets. Know which you're trading and make sure the resolution criteria matches your thesis."
