I am aware of caps on the amount of money an individual can risk in prediction markets, but not a cap on the total number of positions.

Where might one find such a market that presently shows a 10% Trump chance? It would be interesting to see what the trading volume looks like.

Yes but you can't purchase that contract. PredictIt is not a free market betting platform with a bunch of restrictions (e.g. $850 limit per contract per person, 5000 bettor limit per contract, 10% vig on winnings, 5% vig on all cash withdrawn).

That being said, I've told friends to make free 5% after all those fees (before tax) and a bunch have made some beer money by betting on PA and a few other states.
