bought Ṁ25 YES

@Weezing Rest of the options here will be resolved later

wait, I just realized this could be easily gamed @Weezing

@diadematus yes it can be and there is not much we can do about that. I guess we can N/A it, if you want, because you can never bet it low, because then someone can just buy NO over there, sell and collect profit here.

@Weezing but volume here will be probably not be high enough for it to be worth it

@Weezing okay...i generally don't think anyone here is that mana hungry, but just in case we can add an implied 'reserve the right to n/a' if clear gamification

@diadematus I added warning that it can be manipulated. If nobody bets too much money there it should be fine.

bought Ṁ15 NO

this is the single most high-conviction 'NO' I will place all tournament

@diadematus Why? Because he could be tilted after last 2 rounds?

bought Ṁ120 YES

@Weezing tournament situation plus Gukesh is pretty good at going for broke so Abasov can't try his drawish hijinks

bought Ṁ10 NO

@diadematus It's true that Gukesh is expert at beating 2600s.

bought Ṁ3 YES

Today I could see there being 3-4 decisive games. A lot of players need win to keep their chances alive.

bought Ṁ35 NO

@Weezing Yeah, I just scanned the pairings and every game is high stakes

Nudge to move the closing time

@Sindre fixed
