Continuous double-auction prediction markets often exhibit low transaction volume due to substantial bid-ask spreads. This paper explores a novel method of providing artificial liquidity in continuous double-auction prediction markets by introducing an automated market maker that engages in zero-profit cross-arbitrage in multi-contract markets. Empirical analysis of observed bid-ask spreads, liquidity, offer acceptance, and order sizes in the 2008 UBC Election Stock Market provides additional new insights into the micro-structure of prediction markets.

Since market scoring rules have become popular as a form of market maker, it seems worth reviewing just what such mechanisms are intended to do.The main function performed by most market makers is to serve as an intermediary between people who prefer to trade at different times.  Traders who have the same favorite times to trade can show up together to an ordinary continuous double auction, and then make and accept offers to trade.  But when traders have different favorite times, a market maker can help them by first making offers that some of them will accept, and then later making opposite offers which others will accept.  By adjusting prices in his favor, a market maker can even profit from providing this service.
