There is actually no definitive answer to your question. It depends on the needs of each individual community member as well as the collective interests of all participants. Predictions influence the ratings, and consequently, the rewards distributed to participants. In turn, members of the community can be grouped into different categories.

For example, if you are simply a predictor and not a participant in any Match Pool (i.e., you don’t own any NFTs), then you'll likely need not only to vote on matches but also to publish well-argued forecasts in order to earn reputation. This can help you reach the top of the predictor rankings and become eligible for rewards. In this case, it’s in your best interest for as many matches as possible to end with the outcome that the majority of the group voted for — i.e., successful results.

Another scenario: if you are a participant in Match Pool #10, then your goal is for the matches within your Match Pool to end successfully (with the outcome voted by the majority). Everything else is irrelevant to you. In this case, it’s not even necessary for you to participate in voting or predictions outside of that pool.

A third scenario: you want to join a particular Match Pool, so you’re looking to buy an NFT for that pool. In this case, it might benefit you if the match outcomes for that pool have been unsuccessful, because when results go poorly (i.e., opposite to the group vote), the pool’s rating goes down — and so does the price of its NFT, making it cheaper for you to join.

There are many different possibilities here, and participants can create their own strategies based on their needs and expectations.
