When the event occurs (the one that people are predicting), the users themselves declare which outcome actually happened. The outcome that was voted most as being true is the one considered to be true. To stop people from gaming this system, your outcome-declaring vote is also tied to a weight based on previous outcome-declaring votes and how they relate to what was considered the true outcome.
