In a nutshell
Outcome prices reflect how Zanlo participants value possible event outcomes and what they're willing to pay for them.
On the Zanlo platform, a basic rule applies: YES price and NO price always add up to $1 (or 100%).
For events with named outcomes (e.g., McGregor vs Holloway), the same rule applies: both option prices are interrelated.
At Event launch, the platform sets initial pricing conditions, after which further price movement is formed by participants.
Zanlo — More Than Just a Prediction Market
Zanlo is an opinion markets ecosystem, where Pick price reflects the collective outcome assessment, not a fixed probability or platform opinion.
The platform:
• sets Event structure and initial conditions;
• provides trading rules;
• does not control participant assessments after trading begins.
Zanlo's Golden Rule: YES + NO = $1
In every Event on Zanlo, this principle applies:
YES price + NO price always equals $1 (or 100%)
The same applies to events with named outcomes — the prices of both options are always interrelated.
This means:
• if YES price rises, NO price automatically decreases;
• if NO price rises, YES price automatically decreases;
• the sum of both outcomes always remains constant.
In events with named outcomes, the same logic applies.
This principle:
• makes price structure transparent;
• distinguishes Zanlo from platforms where outcome prices can behave independently;
• allows participants to always understand how assessment is distributed between the two outcomes.
Why prices differ between outcomes
Each event has exactly two possible outcomes. In Yes/No events, participants choose between Yes and No. In events with named outcomes, the two options reflect the specific outcomes of that event — for example, a fighter's name or a team.
The price of each outcome reflects how strongly participants believe in it and what they're willing to pay for it right now.
This means:
● if participants are more confident in one outcome and willing to pay more for it — its price rises, while the other outcome's price falls;
● if confidence shifts toward a different outcome — prices adjust accordingly.
Price reflects market assessment, not the confirmed event result.
How Prices Are Formed
At Event launch, the platform sets initial pricing conditions — a starting point for assessment.
After trading begins:
• participants place orders at prices at which they are willing to buy or sell shares;
• price changes when willingness to pay more or sell cheaper appears;
• Zanlo does not interfere in further price formation.
Why the Price Changes
Prices — whether for Yes/No or named outcomes — can change when participants:
• revise their Event assessment;
• are willing to pay more for the chosen outcome;
• are willing to lower price to exit a position;
• react to changes in liquidity and activity within the Event.
Every price change is the result of participant decisions, not platform actions.
What the outcome price means
In every Zanlo event, you buy shares of an outcome — for example, 1 Yes share, 1 No share, or 1 McGregor share.
The price of one share:
● reflects what participants are currently willing to pay for that outcome;
● shows the collective assessment of how likely that outcome is;
● is not a guaranteed probability and does not predict the result.
Price can change at any time before the event closes.
Important to Remember
• In every Zanlo event, both outcome prices are interrelated — whether Yes/No or named outcomes. The sum of both outcome prices always reflects 100% of the market.
• Price is formed by ecosystem participants.
• Zanlo does not predict outcomes and does not control price movement after trading begins.
• Price is not investment advice.
