I think the thing you're looking for is a "prediction market". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market

Related to that, one funny thing I remember from Robert Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" is that the Lunie protagonist didn't understand why Terrans bothered with insurance companies. Are there no bookies?
