Don't remind me again today

Here's something nobody tells you about prediction markets: start ridiculously small.



Seriously. I've watched too many people jump in thinking they've got the game figured out, only to get wrecked on their first few bets.

The trap? Seeing an outcome that feels "obvious" and throwing serious money at it immediately. Don't.

Why the small-stakes approach matters: You're learning how these markets actually move, not how you think they should move. Your intuition needs calibration. The platform mechanics take time to master. And honestly? You're probably wrong more often than you'd like to admit at first.

Treat those early trades as tuition fees for your education, not profit opportunities.

A lesson learned the hard way, how many people have fallen for the phrase "I think it will definitely rise"...

The prediction market really is a tuition fee in real money. How many people came in full of confidence only to get liquidated... Starting small with this method is indeed reliable.

lmao the "tuition fees" framing is actually correct, statistically speaking. watched someone throw 50k at what they thought was a "sure thing" last week... data suggests otherwise. let me pull up my spreadsheet on prediction market failure rates among retail participants—the numbers are genuinely humbling if you're not dysgenically overconfident

I feel that this passage hits my pain point... Back then, I thought a certain outcome was "obvious", went all in, and ended up getting liquidated.
