Resolves yes. Sweepstakes launched (meeting the criteria for cash prizes) and one of the first markets is the presidential election market

Why is this market higher than the following market:

Since the judge's ruling was specifically directed at Congressional betting, this market about Presidential betting should have a ceiling at the Congressional market.

@SteveSokolowski imo they are just badly priced. Not much liquidity, tons of adverse selection from insider trading, etc

How does the 10% threshold work for this market? That is, your linked definition requires that someone be able to place a trade at 10% and then win roughly 9 times their bet after fees. I don’t imagine either candidate will get that low, so…

@polymathematic that just has to be possible in theory
