Crypto Investing — Expert: Prediction Markets III — Forecasting Edge & Calibration

Expert prediction-market participation blends superforecasting discipline with market awareness. Build a base rate, adjust for specific evidence, and convert your view into a probability. Your edge is the gap between that probability and the market price.

Combine sources: a candidate's on-chain or polling data, news flow, and the market's own liquidity and movement. Track every forecast and score yourself with a Brier score to improve calibration over time. This is the thinking that informs a tool like NEI Predict — surfacing market-implied probabilities and where they may diverge from a modeled estimate.

Key takeaways

• Edge = your calibrated probability minus the market price.
• Base rate first, then adjust for case-specific evidence.
• Score forecasts (Brier) to systematically improve calibration.
