This is an experimental market

  • Each day, I will roll 1d6+1d10

  • If it comes up as (5 or 6, 10), then this market closes, and the next one in the series is created

  • 1 month later, this market resolves to the true value according to BLS

Future markets like this will use public randomness, but I don't yet know how to implement that in a way that can't be gamed

Why did this N/A?

@Yev Low participation, and I don't actually think the market will work in the way that I intended. This should be my last N/A resolution for a while, I think

It looks like probability of resolving is 1/30, so it should be 1 month?

@Yev expected close date is always a month away, and it gets evaluated a month later, so at any moment you are making 2 month predictions, I think?

@LivInTheLookingGlass Fascinating. If I am the only trader on the market, then I should bet assuming the market closes now (if it doesn't, I can just update my prediction later). So I would be predicting unemployment rate a month ahead. I'm not sure what happens when you increase the number of traders...
