Should Manifold implement a feature to limit maximum bets for poll-like questions?

Resolves to PROB.

I'm picturing an option when creating a market to set a maximum bet per user. Low limits would encourage more users to participate and reduce the ability for a single user to sway the result their way.

(If available, I would set the limit on this market to M$1.)

Will Manifold add the ability to edit the amount of your bet within seconds of making it by the end of 2025?

I've never seen a M$0 on the top bettors list before.

predictedYES

@Multicore Heh

I think the MM actually tracks M$ at the decimal level but rounds all displays to the nearest integer.

predictedNO

Why limit peoples' betting abilities? They can bet on the outcome and also have a separate feature for polling integrated into the market.

TIL: betting on your own market earns the M$10 bonus.

@TANSTAAFL Wait it does? That's absurd

predictedNO

@TANSTAAFL no, it doesn't

@TANSTAAFL If it does, that's a bug, because I just made a market where that did not happen

predictedYES

Sorry, I was incorrect. Somehow I didn't see the second bet when I saw the bonus.
