Asking to see if we think people betting on their own markets is +/-
Someone can easily let the market expire, collect trading fees & then re-open again without resolving - market participants either have to hold and wait for the new deadline, or sell at a loss if they want to exit - all while market creator can resolve in his favour as they bet on it themselves.
My take: I never bet on my own markets to avoid any kind of bias.
