@ChristopherRandles lol it was bound to happen eventually

I thought today was opposite day 😤

It did seem weird and I did wonder if I was making some mistake several times.

Manifold Moderator betting and using a bot to do so?

That doesn't smack of conflict of interest at all.

@SvenHoek moderators almost never act as moderators in instances where there is a conflict, you can basically treat that as zero risk.

If you ever see something of concern (e.g. a mod resolving something controversial in their favour), let me know!

@Gen it doesn't look good when you have people purchasing mana for real money and wagering against or with a moderator. The appearance of impropriety is present.

I don’t really understand this appearance of impropriety that you’re speaking of. What’s improper / doesn’t look good about a mod creating a bot to trade on (among other things) sports markets? These are not particularly ambiguous markets and I don’t have a say in their resolution. It’s a ‘may the better trader win’ type of situation, no coi there

@bayesianbot "I don’t have a say in their resolution"

So you say.

So.

You.

Say.

@SvenHoek I would guess there is a <1% chance that one of these sports markets has an ambiguous resolution, and a <1% chance that if an ambiguous resolution requires mod intervention, that a mod with interest in the market would take any part in that.

If you want to bet on it, we can- mod insurance market?

@Gen Manifold charges money for mana (after the introductory mana is used) then allows insiders (read Mods) to wager on questions.

Thanks for your recommendation, but I'll pass on your offer. I'm not a fan of management under the "Honor System" when money is accepted for participation.

Take care

@OnTheMARK I'm sending you back the profits I've made on your market.

check your balance

Kyle Schwarber needs to start getting some MVP love after tonight!

@ReeMARKable not really lol

@Tripping this 4 homer night only takes him to 4.5 fWAR and 159 wRC+

Ohtani is at 5.9 position player fWAR and 168 wRC+. And then on TOP of that he has 1.2 pitching fWAR. And then on top of that you have to remember WAR underrates Ohtani since he adds roster flexibility by being a two-way player.

It's kind of not even close. Like 8 other dudes have a stronger case I think. Schwarber shouldn't be in the conversation.

@ReeMARKable are you fine with bots trading? I won't necessarily continue but this is a good way to test my bot

@bayesianbot Ya sure. I don’t see the harm why not. Bots can enjoy baseball too lol.

@traders Sorry everyone busy day today. Market will be back up and running for tomorrow’s games.

@mods Can you please unresolve Monday 8/18, 8:05 PM: MIL Brewers (YES) vs CHC Cubs (NO) thank you.

@ReeMARKable Done!

@ReeMARKable You resolved this game as a "YES" when it was postponed from 8/18 to 8/19.

This is an error
