Want to bet on a hot matchup in the prediction market, but the odds are ridiculously skewed. Investing $20,000 can only win $2,000? This is the answer given by the so-called "future finance" prediction market. It sounds very idealistic, but the issues of actual liquidity and risk pricing are in front of us. Low odds mean the market has already priced in the risk, leaving little room for latecomer funds. Many newcomers have high expectations for such platforms, unaware that the market makers and early liquidity providers have already taken most of the spread. The concept of prediction markets is good, but execution always leaves much to be desired.

Uh... earning only 2k on 20k? This is even worse than me just lying flat and dollar-cost averaging.

Losing only 2,000 out of 20,000—what kind of future finance is this? It's just a cash machine for the big players.

Haha, a 10x return rate still calls it odds? I just laughed. This is clearly the leek farmer tax.
