@MayMeta Juicily I see a slightly different result:

Since it’s the same five people though I’ll resolve before anything weird happens. Maybe people still can unlist markets or something?
@1941159478 Yeah, the league standings have still been moving around (a bug) - despite having been over. Hopefully there is a snapshot the devs took, but otherwise, I can confirm @MayMeta 's screenshot as the one when the league closed
@firstuserhere In fact, the league leaderboards are still jumping, but yeah, the promotion went to @MayMeta
@1941159478 I think there's also some ongoing work to check for markets that were manipulated in breach of rules that will be delisted, but I'm not sure.
@deagol fair, seeing how firstuserhere turned himself into a Bot for a week, and then back again, I now understand what Johny meant by 'silliness' 😂 https://manifold.markets/SimonGrayson/who-will-be-promoted-to-diamond-fro
@Fion if it shows 0.4% here it means the market thinks your probability is 2% because this pays evenly to the top 5 so 20% each. And hey, I got a couple mana on you!
@deagol ah yes, good point. Not as big a price difference as I thought.
Haha, thanks for the support! Anything can happen! :)
@Fion Your profit growth looks exceptionally steady. If not fo that dumb /ChristopherRandles/will-this-market-close-with-chance!...
@MayMeta thanks. Yeah, I think I play quite cautiously, normally not betting things quite as far as my true probability estimate, and I do quite a bit of low level market making, both of which contribute to slow and steady gains.
On that market you linked I was initially following a strategy that mathematically guaranteed profits (buying NO only when the probability went above 25% and then selling it at 25%) but in literally the last few seconds I thought "fuck it" and dropped my whole balance.
Going to try to stick to actual predictions from now on. I'm glad Manifold are being aggressive with the delisting. :)
@deagol We do have another thing going for us. The thousands places of the top 5 are 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. :)
@TobyBW ha. but seriously, these things usually follow power laws but for whatever reason we’re linear :)
