With your logic every market can be manipulated. Even the 2028 Elections, Super Bowl 2026 - all of it can be manipulated provided how much capital you can deploy to turn the odds in your favor.
True. That’s why I think all bets are a scam, and I don’t spend a single sat! Hahaha. But these two, you can manipulate for free, a total oasis for scammers! I don’t think this is good for the Predyx brand.

I don't think so - but thanks for sharing your opinion.

Running bots are not free, it requires computing power and skills. If the cost of running bots are lower than your potential win than people will attempt it.
That's why bitcoin's security comes for compute and energy spend.
Ultimately it all boils down to "cost and benefit"

I don’t think you get it yet, you can create unpaid items (for free) on SN, and those items are counted for these two markets.

I get it - what I'm trying to tell you is that it takes effort (cost in terms of time spent) to create unpaid item.

I think that cost is irrelevant in this case. Imagine if all markets only had the cost of developing a script! It’d be a party with zero credibility!
reply
If you're confident that someone will develop a script to sway the market to YES, then why not 2x your sats based on your intuition or real insight. Buy a bunch of YES and wait for someone to create a script. Or if you're skilled enough - do it yourself. Easy money.

But that would make me a scammer! My goal isn’t profit.

No - it would make you an informed trader.
