Liquor Bets runs prediction markets on James Beard Foundation winners across categories like Outstanding Bar, Outstanding Restaurant, Best Chef regionals, and the JBF Book Awards. Each market is structured as multiple choice over the official semifinalist or finalist list, with the winner determined by the JBF announcement at the annual ceremony. Markets typically open when semifinalists are released and close 24 hours before the awards ceremony. Resolution sources are the official James Beard Foundation press releases and announcements. We never run markets on snubs, controversies, or anything outside the official record. The goal is to capture the industry's calibrated read on who actually wins, not who deserves to.
