I've created 14 markets asking, "What is Manifold's favorite X?" that resolve based on a survey where participants can rank each work as "Excellent", "Good", "Okay", "Bad", or "Haven't seen/read/played/heard". From these ratings, I will calculate a score for each work equal to 2*(no. of "Excellent" rankings) + (no. of "Good" rankings) - (no. of "Bad" rankings), and the winner is the work with the highest score.

How many of the markets will have the winner at the highest probability out of any option (except possibly the Other option) when they close? If one of the Manifold's favorite markets ends in a tie, then the market has to have all of the tied winners ahead of any of the other options (except possibly Other) to count as having predicted the winner.

The Manifold's favorites markets are:

If I add any others, they won't count for this market.

Interesting question! It's tough to say for sure, but relying solely on any single market can be risky. Perhaps playing around with predictions on a game like Slope Game, where you have to constantly adjust to a changing environment, can teach us valuable lessons about probability and adaptability. It's all about navigating the ups and downs to reach the goal, just like predicting market outcomes!


"Interesting question! It’s always exciting to see how accurate predictions can be, especially on platforms like Manifold. Have you ever thought about incorporating prediction markets into gaming contexts, like Snow Rider 3D? It could be fascinating to predict high scores or player outcomes. Engaging both the gaming and prediction communities might yield some creative insights!"


Interesting question! Predicting market outcomes is always tricky. What factors are you considering? Could Friday Night Funkin popularity, with its dedicated community, influence predictions if there's a related market? Analyzing trends and community sentiment might help improve accuracy.


In this intriguing project, participants rank their favorite works, from "Excellent" to "Haven't seen/read/played/heard." After calculating scores based on these ratings, the work with the highest score becomes the winner. @ Retro Bowl

So that's eight correct predictions out of fourteen, a pretty good showing for markets with so many options.

Currently, the only option that the markets are >50% confident in is Favorite webcomic: XKCD, which suggests that the expected number here is low.
