Resolved
NO

Resolves YES for boy (for Y chromosome)

Resolves NO for girl (something something Simone de Beauvoir)

Background:

My friend is a business professor

His wife is a business professor

Her sister works in private equity

Her husband is a screenwriter

The latter two are having a child. The gender of the child affects a lot. Will my friend’s brother-in-law have a son that can carry on his ancestral worship at the family hearth? Will my friend’s sister-in-law have a daughter who will carry on her family’s tradition of competent and results-driven private equity? Your betting behavior on this market might change the incentives here to throw the balance of power in one direction or the other. Bet carefully.

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS CONFIRMED

@bens Please make it count for the Summer tourney.

@MaxA what's the summer tourney?

@MaxA oh wait the Metaculus Cup ahhahaha

opened a Ṁ50 NO at 54% order

Resolves on gender reveal or birth?

boughtṀ50NO

@MaxA nothing ever happens so this bet is pretty smart… I’d price this market at ~30% personally, despite having no inside information

I love the market description

How good-looking is your friend's sister-in-law's husband?

(Also - you're asking about the child's sex, not its gender.)

@MaxA quite good-looking! Hotter than me, for reference, also better dressed, more neurotic, and with worse takes.

@MaxA and ya… I know it’s for a “gender reveal” though so like… whatever

bought Ṁ50 NO

@bens I have no idea how hot you are but in for a girl.
