The 26/28 accuracy rate is impressive... According to the logic in the white paper, under aligned incentive mechanisms, predictive markets can indeed outperform traditional polls. But the question is—can this success be replicated this time? Or is it just survivor bias at play again?

The prediction market is really taking off this time. 26 out of 28 for the Ballon d'Or, the accuracy is incredible. It feels like in the future, entertainment gossip will all have to rely on on-chain data.

A 26/28 hit rate sounds impressive, but you need to dig deeper—how exactly are these 28 votes defined? Are they all awards or a selected subset? Data shows that some prediction markets selectively publish successful cases afterward.
