bought Ṁ1,000 of The Educated Mind

Hi traders
the market closed cause that's how I set the close date, technically you could've read all of these from the google doc but it probably should've been later. Well I can't unclose now even if I wanted to, but check out e.g. this new market with the new better system and unbugged time graph https://manifold.markets/MichaelWheatley/which-book-review-will-win-the-2023

you can unclose it by clicking edit next to the close date, so just do that

@jacksonpolack hmm if you say so. I guess technically someone could be trading based on close date (right?) but probably not. Thanks for the correction

Why did this close?

@ShakedKoplewitz (now that I've read the educated mind I badly want to short it. That was one of the worst essays I've ever read, and definitely the worst in this contest).

@ShakedKoplewitz yeah, I would recommend creating a new version of this question using the newer multiple choice mechanism - this older form doesn't support shorting

Here you go:

I wanted this too. I had just come here to short MSFM

close date?

bought Ṁ6 of Njal's Saga

I wish there were an easy way to bet against an option in these parimutuel markets. It's also weird that you can't sell? Or easily see what you've bet on? I don't know the solution exactly, but multiple choice markets should be way better.

I guess this makes my market obsolete. But if anyone wants an arbitrage opportunity, I'll link it anyways.

omg why doesn't it show the time graph?

bought Ṁ10 of Cities And The Wealt...

@warty if we embed the question to itself, the time graph is visible 🤣
