@Weezing just confirming that “Other” includes what it says: “A bet on Other automatically includes any answer added in the future.” Which includes Hans.
Not anymore, Hans is now a separate answer. Other is all other players which are not listed individually and none of those players are left.
What it means is that if you bet on Other BEFORE extra option is added, you will automatically get shares in the newly added answer equal to the shares you have in other. But this is now irrelevent because all players in semis are already added.
Looking at your trade history, you bought 47 YES shares of Other on 1st of August, then Hans was added on 8th of August, which gave you 47 shares also for Hans. You sold those shares on 10th of August and bought 63 NO shares on Hans. You also bough additional shares of Other, but this was after Hans was already added, which will be only used for additional options if any would added.
Yes it is automatic, once you already have position in Other and someone adds another option, you get equal shares in the newly added option.
The matches start tomorrow with Hikaru vs Jospem and Duda vs Arjun.
