Anyone here actively using prediction markets for trading? Curious about your experience - are you finding edge in political events, crypto trends, or other categories? Would love to hear what platforms you're on and how the returns compare to spot trading.

Predicting the market sounds sexy, but I've never tried it. Feels like gambling with a different name? Spot trading at least has fundamentals backing it up, but this thing relies purely on guessing.

Predictive markets sound good, but honestly, I still feel they have a bit of a gambling vibe. Can they really appear consistently?

Predicting markets isn't as profitable as expected... I've tried a few political event trades, and most of the profit was eaten up by fees.

The edge of the predictive market? Honestly, it's not very meaningful; it's mostly being led around by big players.

Prediction markets? To be honest, I’ve tried them but basically ended up losing big... Even if you bet right on political events, there’s not much profit. It’s better to go all-in on a small token, that’s more appealing.

Prediction markets really aren't that easy to make money from... I tried Polymarket's political markets, and it doesn't feel as good as spot trading. The liquidity is terrible.

Prediction markets, to put it bluntly, are just gambling under a different name. The ones who truly make money are always the house.

Prediction market? To be honest, I've tried it, but basically it's just paying tuition (i.e., losing money).

NGL, prediction markets are way too complex. I played a few rounds on Polymarket and lost badly. It feels like information asymmetry is the real edge—retail investors just can't compete with those professionals.
