Let's switch things up a bit. 10 users this time instead of 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 - remember, after a while users won't have much incentive to bet in the market.

A proof-of-concept that allows a silly picking-pennies-up-off-the-ground attack on some automated traders as they apparently currently exist. Getting 7 participants implies that I'm picking up pennies off the ground for every run of this market (+$M10 from the system bonus) and you're picking up pennies off the ground that an easily-taunted trading bot drops on the floor. You're effectively betting against the bots' programming getting more sophisticated before close (assuming someone bothers to try to attack the bots somehow).

May close early if YES. This is a rerun of the experiment to see if the exploit still is viable.

The Bot has bet. Humans lagging behind.

@firstuserhere weird. Its free money at this point

bought Ṁ50 of YES

@firstuserhere thanks. I think the high market % is the reason people didn't bet but eventually will and this obviously resolves YES

bought Ṁ20 of YES

@Dreamingpast Honestly, it’s hard to see individual markets in the spam of “Will x do Y?” “Will Z do Y?” “Will …” etc etc
