I am currently rank 1 in my Platinum League (Bayseed Basalisks) https://manifold.markets/leagues. Will I rank up at the end of the month? If Manifold takes a bit more than the end of the month to update, this will still resolve YES if it's obvious it is still for the May league rankings.

@MayMeta If you want to know what happened https://manifold.markets/prognostic8r/will-the-boston-celtics-make-the-fi#nvI5bI05nZ9xtAAOhHlf
@TobyBW Damn, I feel you! I had very similar emotions when I lost Ṁ1900 recently on a panic-sell. Couldn't fall asleep for the next hour. Losses hurt. ❤
@TobyBW btw that was some freak of a game end with reviews down to the final fraction of a second. Unfortunate you had bad info, maybe seeing the prices you saw in several markets here should’ve raised a flag? But I guess that’s the nature of real-time sports betting, gotta be quick to catch the opportunities. I can’t see myself ever getting into.
Don’t worry you’ll get back the mana in no time. Good luck!
@deagol Thanks. I haven’t put any real money into Manifold. Even so, I am still a bit upset about the loss, but I know from the past month that I have the ability to earn mana starting from a small budget.
Since I am going to be in a similar position and relatively offline for the next few months, I am considering leaving manifold for a bit. My betting strategy does not work well if I am not actively online. Will probably stay to at least resolve my May markets at the end of the month, then sell most of my positions and donate all but ~1k mana. Maybe I’ll come back after the summer and “start over”.

@hmys Lost 600 cuz xQc did a good speedrun that I bet wouldn’t happen. Then I lost 1000 to a very stupid mistake of betting on the wrong winner of a triathlon. I got 500 of that back in a Manalink but that doesn’t count for the leaderboard
