The house leadership is moving to the right. I think Biden will almost certainly be impeached before the election, How can you resolve this โ€œnoโ€?

predicted NO

@BruceGrugett The question closed on September 19th.

predicted YES

@jgyou The question was will Biden get impeached, not will Biden be impeached by September 19.

@BruceGrugett Convention. Will โ€ฆ occur? discounts โ€ฆ that happened before market creation. At the time of close & resolution, NO, hence NO.

predicted NO

This is a classic ambiguity that I hate. There is no standard convention. People do it both ways, but it's a little bit more common for it to mean by the close date (https://manifold.markets/jack/poll-how-likely-are-you-to-interpre)

People asked about it repeatedly below, and unfortunately the author disappeared and was not around to clarify.

Poll: How likely are you to interpret a question "Will X happen?" to really mean "Will X happen by close date?"
Resolved 70%. If the question asks "Will X happen?" and doesn't make it clear what happens on the close date, how likely are you to interpret the question as "Will X happen by the close date?" (i.e. it resolves NO on the close date if it hasn't happened yet)? As opposed to "Will X happen ever?" and the market does not resolve until either X happens or definitely cannot happen. If the close date is reached, either the market remains closed and unresolved, or the close date may be extended. In other words, the close date is irrelevant to the resolution, it's either a date to close trading in advance of possible resolution, or a guideline for when resolution is likely. Vote by commenting with YES, NO, or a percentage at the start of your comment. (YES = always by close date = 100%, NO = close date is always irrelevant to resolution = 0%, you can also choose any percentage in between.) The market resolves to the average of valid votes in the poll as of 1 day after market close. You can update your vote by commenting again with a new vote; only your last vote will be counted. A few examples: https://manifold.markets/BTE/will-a-delaware-judge-order-elon-mu https://manifold.markets/LarsDoucet/will-elon-musk-back-out-of-the-deal https://manifold.markets/dreev/will-the-musk-twitter-deal-close (author later clarified their intent) https://manifold.markets/Austin/will-manifold-set-abandoned-questio https://manifold.markets/FRCassarino/will-i-quit-my-swe-job-at-metafb-to https://manifold.markets/jack/if-i-take-paxlovid-will-i-have-a-co

@jack I think there is yet another dimension:
Will X happen?

1. Will X happen by close date? Will X ever happen?

2. Will X happen after market creation? Will X happen or has happened?

predicted NO

@XComhghall Indeed, that is another source of problems though slightly less common because it's often clear from context.

predicted NO

Please resolve

Why is anyone buying yes. I am amazed and confused.

Currently the market has a close date of next week. Are you asking whether he will be impeached by next week?

Impeached by what date? Just his entire time as president?

bought แน€85 of NO

predicted NO

Lots of arbitrage potential here.
