this got proposed yes and disputed and now people are spending thousands of dollars speculating on UMA

lol wow

Be careful betting on this market, the rules in the cloned polymarket are extremely bizarre and could resolve in strange ways.

Hence why I sold out. It's a rules fight at this point.

bought Ṁ15 YES

to be honest based on the rules I think it's actually a clear Yes but UMA does what UMA does

Yeah, I actually agree, I just don't enjoy staying in markets where the resolution will depend totally on someone's interpretation of unclear wording even if it works out in my favor

want to give me a rundown? i can make a clone of this market without the dumb ruling if its as simple as changing one thing

Their definition of a blitz primary:

A blitz primary is defined as Joe Biden withdrawing from the race, and multiple candidates are given the chance to become the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in an open field.

I would argue this has already happened: Marianne Williamson and Kamala Harris are are both running for the nomination and both have a chance to whip delegates to their side. I suspect the UMA dispute will hinge on what "given the chance" means, but clearly people are pricing in a strong possibility of a Yes. However, I don't think most people would colloquially refer to the events of the last 2 days as a blitz primary.

i wasnt sure yeah, i assumed this was just a normal primary and a blitz was something else. ok ill make that clearer

Uh... I think this might be a glitch?
