Background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines
I will resolve the market YES if >50%, NO if <50%, and N/A otherwise. It closes in a week. I will not vote in this market.
71,232 markets on 10/19/2023 at 9:47AM ET.
39,315 of those markets were resolved.
39,287 of those markets end with a question mark (?).
Limiting to binary markets where the resolution was either “Yes” or “No” leaves us 29,959 markets. (This also excludes cancelled markets.)
Of those 29,959 resolved binary (Yes/No) markets ending with a question mark, only 15,726 resolved “No” (52.49%)
@oh No being the answer a slim majority of the time doesn’t really feel like a truism or law
Then again the wiki page for Betteridge’s Law has studies saying it is true either
@c0m it is. The paradox only applies to this question, and so maybe is not relevant to the market. Up to the users to decide.
