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.)

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

predicted YES

@Multicore Heh

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

predicted NO
Why limit peoples' betting abilities? They can bet on the outcome and also have a separate feature for polling integrated into the market.
bought Ṁ1 of YES
TIL: betting on your own market earns the M$10 bonus.
@TANSTAAFL Wait it does? That's absurd
predicted NO
@TANSTAAFL no, it doesn't
bought Ṁ10 of YES
@TANSTAAFL If it does, that's a bug, because I just made a market where that did not happen
predicted YES
Sorry, I was incorrect. Somehow I didn't see the second bet when I saw the bonus.
