How Probabili Works

Probabili helps retail traders understand which prediction markets are genuinely fair โ€” and which ones are structurally designed for them to lose.

The Fair Score

Every market on Probabili receives a Fair Score from 0 to 10 โ€” a composite of signals that measure how favorable conditions are for a retail trader. Higher is better.

The โš ๏ธ Fishy Flag

When a market has one or more Trap Labels, it receives a โš ๏ธ flag. This is a quick visual signal that something structural is working against you in this market โ€” even if the Fair Score is moderate.

Trap Labels

Trap Labels are qualitative tags that identify specific structural problems with a market. Click any row to see a full explanation on the detail page. Here's what each one means:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธMention MarketTrap Label

Markets that resolve on speech or social media posts, not real-world outcomes.

๐ŸชคLiquidity TrapTrap Label

Thin order books with wide spreads โ€” entering and exiting costs you more than you think.

๐ŸฆPro-DominatedTrap Label

Quant firms and professional traders hold structural advantages retail can't overcome.

โ“Ambiguous ResolutionTrap Label

Vague resolution criteria give resolvers discretion that can override your prediction.

๐Ÿ“กInfo-AsymmetricTrap Label

One side has structural professional advantages โ€” specialist expertise, expensive data feeds, or quant models โ€” that retail traders cannot realistically replicate.

๐Ÿ”’Insider MarketSevere Trap

A participant is known to hold material non-public information specific to this market. The most severe trap โ€” not just an edge, a structurally broken market.

โš–๏ธ A note on fairness

Probabili does not recommend any specific market or tell you how to trade. A low Fair Score means conditions are structurally unfavorable โ€” not that you'll necessarily lose. A high Fair Score means conditions are more level โ€” not that you'll win. Always do your own research.
