To anyone who ever watched the men's Tour de France: The womens edition has a strong chance to be significantly more entertaining. Womens cycling is awesome.

Anyone interested in buying Other No at 20%?

@Eliza According to Marlen, she is feeling unwell and has trouble eating food.

So far Demi in the low 60s here is considerably lower than betting odds which seem to put her a little over 70.

Embarrassingly, Polymarket doesn't even seem to have a market for this race...ridiculous.

@evan Is there a specific rider you favor or do you just not like the choices already presented?

@Eliza I don't suppose you'd be willing to leave trading open until Monday, when my mana currently sunk into TDF markets will be freed? :)

@RedzoneITG It seems fairly likely that we can trade after Stage 2 and before Stage 3.....I think my plan is something like:

• Close it before the first stage

• If nothing weird happens on GC, reopen it (I'm telling you ALL now!)

• Close it before the second stage

• If nothing weird happens on GC, reopen it

• ....

Keep going like that, but if I feel as though the odds on anyone would have shifted dramatically, or anyone crashed out, or anything else, I kinda have to leave the market closed because:

• If I reopen it and immediately trade to fix the probabilities, people will think I'm intentionally manipulating 'profit' scores. (I have already requested many times that market creators have the option to not be credited with profit on their own market for this reason....)

• If I reopen it and don't trade to fix the probabilities, it's basically just me giving away potentially 5000 mana to whatever random person comes along first.

Neither of those are really great!
