Understanding Event Structure

​

Event vs Market

• Event: A container grouping related prediction markets (e.g., “2024 Presidential Election”)
• Market: Individual prediction markets within an event (e.g., “Will Trump win?”, “Will Biden win?”)
• One event can have multiple markets, all sharing the same event_ticker

​

Series Ticker

The series_ticker groups similar events across time. For example:

• NFL-WEEK1, NFL-WEEK2, NFL-WEEK3 all belong to the NFL series
• ECON-JOBS might represent monthly employment report events
