Sure bet

People now use prediction market platforms to bet on all kinds of things.

Let’s say Apple announces that the next iPhone will launch in 2 months. People will start betting on how many camera lenses will be included and what exact colors will be offered. Anyone working in the Apple marketing team will know these answers and stand to make a profit.

A company like Apple is sure to have a policy prohibiting such use of proprietary information. But is your company familiar with prediction markets? Do they have a policy to ban trading of this kind? Do they provide training and have controls in place to deter and detect violations?

Here’s a sure bet: the number of employees who lose their jobs due to insider trading will surpass any previous year in 2026.
