Markets to Avoid

There are three main types of markets to avoid proposing.

Markets you don't understand

Avoid proposing in markets you don't fully understand, especially if you're unfamiliar with their rules or data sources.

Example: In Nascar: AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 winner, a casual viewer proposed right after the race. They didn't realize NASCAR performs post-race inspections before finalizing results.

Markets with ambiguous rules

Stay away from markets with unclear or undefined rules. If the criteria can be interpreted multiple ways, don't risk your bond.

Example: In Will Zelenskyy wear a suit before July?, the rules didn't specify what qualified as a "suit," leaving the market open to dispute.

Sports, weather, and asset price markets

Some markets such as sports, weather, and asset price are automatically proposed by bots. Submitting your own proposal is unnecessary and risks your bond.

Example: In XRP UP or Down - November 1, 7PM ET, a bot submitted a proposal the moment the market was ready to be resolved.
