Pretend you are creating a new prediction markets platform of some type that you are responsible for. Based upon your interaction with Manifold and other similar platforms, which of the above options would you pick?
Per this poll here; https://manifold.markets/PatrickDelaney/prediction-markets-poll-what-is-the Alternate accounts can potentially disrupt the fairness and integrity of prediction markets. In your opinion, if you had to pick one reason, what is the main issue caused by "alts" on any prediction markets platform, if at all?
@IsaacKing I commented on this in the other market - free money is probably the biggest problem, but another big problem is manipulating profit/loss, wash trading, etc. People have many reasons they wish to do it, and they apply to real-money markets too
Also, I will note that other prediction platforms do give out free money. Polymarket and Kalshi pay to incentivize liquidity providers. There are probably ways you could abuse that with alts, and probably they have some scheme to try to defend against that.
Please clarify what you mean by "any" here. Do you mean "all" or do you mean "at least one". Based on context I suspect the former, but usually the word any refers to the latter.
