Prediction Markets vs Ordinary Forecasts | HiYesNo Academy
Ordinary forecasts often come from individual views, models, or media analysis. Prediction markets aggregate many participant views through orders and prices into observable market signals.
On HiYesNo, the goal is not to find certain answers. Users should understand how prices express probability views under current information, while also reading rules, liquidity, and risk notices.
Key Points
- Read the market question and rules first.
- Then review price, liquidity, and order information.
- Understand risk and do not treat price as a guarantee.
