Abstract
Prediction markets provide a rare setting, where results of mathematical probability theory can be related to events of real-world interest and where theory can be compared to data. The paper discusses two simple mathematical results-the halftime price principle and the serious candidates principle-and corresponding data from baseball and the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination race.
