Ever wonder why prediction markets feel so familiar? Because they run on the exact same engine as sports betting and poker.

Think about it. You're playing against other users, not the house. The platform? Just skims a fee off every trade. Most participants walk away lighter in the pockets. And yeah, skill matters—but so does plain dumb luck.

The setup's identical across the board. Whether you're betting on election outcomes or championship games, the core mechanics don't change. Player versus player. Platform takes its cut. Winners are few. The rest? Well, they're funding the ecosystem.
