About Ohio Predictions

Who publishes this site

Ohio Predictions is published by Market Movers Media Inc., which also publishes BetSmart. The site covers the questions about Ohio that exchanges have turned into contracts: the races on the state's ballot, the futures markets on its clubs, and whatever else a venue lists with an Ohio answer. Every page carries the OhioPrediction Staff byline, and the publisher can be reached at hello@marketmoversmediainc.com.

Nothing changes hands here. There is no account to open, no order to place and no deposit to make, and the site lists no contract of its own. It is a place to read what the markets that do list those contracts are saying.

Where the numbers come from

Market prices on this site are exchange prices supplied by Prediction Genius and shown as percentages. Prediction Genius gathers the public quotes of the exchanges that list a contract, and the site prints them as those venues set them, each beside the name of the venue that quoted it. Where more than one venue prices the same line, the figure a page leads with is the cheapest Yes price on offer, with that venue named; the site never blends two venues into an average.

A percentage on this site is what a market implies, not a forecast or a recommendation. It is the level at which traders on one venue were last willing to deal, and it can move within minutes of a court order, a poll, an injury report or one large trade. Each price block prints the time it was last updated, and the writing around it is reviewed on its own schedule.

What the prose adds is the part a price cannot carry: what a contract settles on, which source decides it, the dated facts behind the question, and what would change the reading. The number itself stays with the board.

What this site does not do

It does not tell a reader to buy, sell or hold anything, and it does not rank one exchange above another on price, safety or anything else. Nothing here is investment, financial or legal advice. A venue is named on a page because it prices the contract under discussion, and that is all the site says about it.

The desk does not set, adjust or influence a price. Each figure begins at an exchange and reaches the page unchanged, the people who write the site hold no position in any contract they cover, and no venue pays for a page, previews one or shapes a sentence in it; the disclosure page sets that out.

Whether a person in Ohio may trade a given contract is a separate question. The legal status page reports what Ohio's sports gaming statute, the Ohio Casino Control Commission and the federal courts have said, each with its date, and draws no conclusion from them.

Corrections and reviews

Corrections are made on the page they concern and dated. A corrected page says what was wrong and when it changed, in the open, rather than folding the fix into a quiet rewrite. To report an error, write to hello@marketmoversmediainc.com with the page and the sentence at issue, and the document that shows the right answer if there is one.

Every page shows the date it was last reviewed. Legal and election pages are reviewed every 14 days and after any filing or result. Club pages are reviewed weekly in season and monthly out of it, person pages every 30 days, the section pages every 90 days, and pages like this one every 180 days. A page past its review date stays published and linked while it is checked again; a review updates a page and never takes it down. The privacy policy and the terms of service cover what the site records and the rules for using it.
