Predictive markets have been so popular lately, essentially following the same logic as the contract markets. How can investors' self-control withstand such temptation? Once they get caught up, they can't stop. Those who can't make money and end up losing the most are often the hardest to pull away from the market. As long as they haven't lost everything, they simply can't stop. This is why high-risk, high-leverage trading products always manage to attract a large number of people to rush in regardless of the risks.

Really, once you taste the sweetness, you just can't stop. That's human nature. Losing everything to wake up is too heartbreaking. Predictive markets are just rebranded contracts, same old story. High risk, high reward, but in reality, there's often only high risk. No doubt about it, self-discipline is worthless in the face of greed.

Really, I've seen too many people get hooked like this. They initially just wanted to make some pocket money, but the more they lose, the more they want to recover, and in the end, they lose everything.
