Damn, I was hoping this was in the current April market after I saw the news lol

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-68821150

It's the hottest March on record (based on global average temperature)

Based on what data was this resolved? The other markets on this haven't resolved yet, and I haven't been able to find an answer yet (neither NOAA nor NASA data out yet, afaict).

@binarypigeon Yeah this market seems to imply that this was probably a misresolution

@Arky will open it back up

@binarypigeon polymarket resolved this yes

Kanye West publicly mentions Hitler, slavery, or the devil (not an old repost/clip)

he mentions kanye is his 'slave name' so we have a 'is obamacare = saying obama' situation, what was the outcome of that @Joshua

https://pagesix.com/2024/03/23/entertainment/kanye-west-demands-music-industry-refer-to-him-as-ye-claims-his-former-moniker-is-a-slave-name/

@strutheo oh he did not say it publicly, it was written by someone on his behalf...

@strutheo I concur, not a public saying

a successful coup occurs

based on the news it appears the haiti coup hasnt actually completed yet? there is still gang violence and talks but the government is in power afaik?

Civil judgment, civil settlement, or criminal conviction occurs to the detriment of Donald Trump at or before the trial court, excluding appeals court verdicts and whether verdict may be appealed

was there a decision on this? it seems like it traded high then plummeted due to the discussion in the comments , not sure what the outcome should be cc @SteveSokolowski @ChristopherRandles

i'm probably going to NA if there isnt a clear resolution based on the trader confusion if there isnt a clear outcome

@strutheo I believe the answer is YES. Do a search for the name "Christopher Steele" and decide whether the judgment in his favor qualifies.

@SteveSokolowski Are you taking the view that the case thrown out is one judgement and the order for costs is another judgement?

Case thrown out in Feb so not *in* March.

I don't know what you are looking for so haven't spent time to find out if cost being awarded was pretty much guaranteed in Feb

@SteveSokolowski i think the last question was: did this happen in february and is just being ordered in march, or is the march order a separate action

@strutheo @SteveSokolowski
"If you instigate but then discontinue a claim, the standard rule is that you will be liable to pay your opponent's costs. This rule can sometimes be displaced, but only in exceptional circumstances. It is important to be aware of and to understand this rule before issuing and serving a claim."

https://www.gabyhardwicke.co.uk/briefing-notes/costs-in-litigation/

If it only gets discontinued when the judge throws it out as cannot succeed, this only makes costs being awarded more likely or similarly likely, I would think.

There will then be a process of looking at defendants costs and deciding what was necessary. Hence a month later there is order for costs rather than immediate.

The question is whether this is mere administration or is the order for costs a "judgement".

Seems more like administration in March than a judgement to me, but I didn't write the requirements for this market.

will start going through to look at evidence and resolve . here is april!

Donald Trump favored to become President, according to Betfair, on March 31, 2024 at 11:59:59pm EDT (if there is a confict in Betfair markets, the highest buy order on the whole exchange will be used)

Just a little early by 15 min, but in case no-one gets nearer to time
Trump 2.22 - 2.24
Biden 2.48-2.5
So trump favoured

Shohei Ohtani hits a home run in a regular season game
bought Ṁ100 Shohei Ohtani hits a... NO

This is a NO - last game just ended with no HR for Ohtani

Ammon wins master league for march

Technically this will happen on April 1st, so not in March

@Arky thats a lame technicality i did not think of when i made it... hm

@strutheo It could always go in the April market!

bought Ṁ1 A "breaking news" ar... NO

@Arky @strutheo Arguably the win happens in March even if the calculation is not made until 4/1

@simoj No, the season actually closes at a random time on April 1st. The February season counted trades made until 6:30 pm on March 1st, so each month's season does technically end in the next month.

bought Ṁ100 trump announces vice... NO

@Arky Oh geeze I made a wrong assumption

@Arky But if he is 7k ahead at end of March and Joshua earns less than 7k in April prior to close of league then Ammon has done the work necessary in March?
