Prediction Markets, Explained | CoinTelegraph
Prediction Markets, Explained | CoinTelegraph
"Decentralization means the removal of a middleman or central authority that has to administer trades and bets. As a result, fees are significantly reduced because there’s no third party involvement necessary. Blockchains are trustless environments which mean participants can simply enter a predictive contract without the need of a broker to manage the trade. With a centralized platform, information regarding the prediction market might be withheld by the central authority to give them an advantage over the market participants. With a decentralized system, there is no central authority, and all information regarding the market is publicly available to everyone."
