Have you considered using the "Multiple Choice -> Any number of answers" type for these markets? It's a better bettor experience IMO.

@kenakofer - I considered it, but decided against it for a couple of reasons:

Market title was too confusing. Essentially, the question would be "which months will sell more weed in Oregon than the month prior?" which felt clunky and uninteresting.

Harder to run the prediction side of things. I'd have to change the market closing date each month if I wanted to preserve the prediction aspect. As binaries, I just set the closing date and forget about it until I have to resolve. (Would be cool if MC markets allowed me to set a closing date for each option)

Other traders have mentioned that binary markets (like this one) get more traction than if bundled in a MC market. Bundling them would be cheaper, but separating them into binaries seems to get more audience participation.
