# Prediction markets

**Why do all three prediction markets show NO — or all show YES?** This is expected behavior, not a bug.

Each of the three bet types is a separate prediction market. Minara's AI evaluates each one independently, comparing its own probability estimate for the event against how the market has priced that probability. The goal is to find edges — cases where the AI's estimate differs meaningfully from the implied odds.

Whether the AI recommends YES or NO depends on two factors working together:

* **Win rate**: how likely the AI thinks the event is to occur
* **Odds**: how much the market pays out if it does

A high-probability outcome isn't automatically a YES if the odds are too low to justify the bet. The AI recommends YES only when its probability estimate is higher than what the market's price implies.

**How the AI calculates probabilities for a Range market**

For a Range market with three outcomes — Below, In-range, and Above — the AI calls a single model that outputs P(BTC > X), the probability that BTC exceeds a given price at settlement. It runs this calculation for each boundary price.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://minara.ai/docs/support/faq/trading/prediction-markets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
