Title is misleading here because the linked market is conditional and the title isn't.

bought Ṁ30 of YES

@MartinRandall This market is not conditional and will not resolve NA under normal circumstances. Why is the title misleading?

@Tumbles linked market is not measuring "will Trump be likely to run as independent", it is measuring "will Trump be likely to run as independent IF X".

@Tumbles should link this market instead to match title:

/SadCat/will-trump-ever-run-as-an-independe

predicted YES

@MartinRandall Damn you're right title is a bit off

Isn't this just whalebait?

bought Ṁ10 of YES

@Joshua Why did you unrank my market? This is very serious forecasting about Nikki Haley's potential impact on Trump's warpath

bought Ṁ10 of YES

@Tumbles It's a serious forecast of how likely that market is to resolve N/A 😅

@Joshua That is if you assume prediction markets are inefficient.

It is sort of like whalebait, but it is at least tied to an actual real-world outcome. I don't think the default should be to unrank this, we should only unrank if we detect people whalebaiting to resolve this question.

@bohaska This is not tied to a real world outcome, but to a price of another market (that is very likely to resolve N/A) at specific point, that's the problem. 100% whalebait. Someone will just bump the price at that time and collect the yes (or push it down and collect no). And there is almost no risk because the other market will be N/A most likely.

predicted YES

I think I will not personally offer any further opinion on the matter (in this thread at least), except to say my earlier comment might not have been 100% sincere

@Weezing Oh, so, the market is very likely to resolve N/A normally?

Then I can kinda understand...

@bohaska Yea, Trump will be republican nominee at like 95% and otherwise that referenced market is N/A. So someone will just push it up with no risk and collect profits here.
