What incentive is there for users? Prizes, points, fame?
As a game, I think prediction markets do not entertain too many people because predictions are very long term. Have you thought of a way to fix that?
For what it's worth-- one of the issues I'd have with a mobile format for making more serious predictions myself would be that it's harder to do research on such a small screen.
