        They could have no bots at all and it would still be an obvious scam lmao.

        the real $ in prediction markets (unless you have inside info) is in knowing how to arbitrage a spread, making a bot to do so is pretty straitforward.

        that’s how the majority of the stock market works as well, the biggest casino in town.

      Not an unexpected outcome, but it’s notably worse than with classic casino gambling because of the always-available model those firms have.
