Should market creators be able to bet on their own markets?

Never closes
YES
NO

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.
