How could military action on June 21st possibly dictate whether something happened or didn't happen on the 19th and 20th? That just doesn't make sense; a market should resolve based on actual events within its specific window, not on something that might happen days later. Imagine if your bank balance on Monday could change because of a deposit you're expecting on Friday; the whole system would be far too unstable to trust. There's a real downside if we allow later events to redefine past outcomes, creating a mess where nothing is certain. We need clear conditions for resolution, otherwise, what's the point of a prediction market?

The resolution of a Polymarket for June 19th and 20th to 'No outcome' has absolutely nothing to do with US military strikes happening on June 21st; that’s just common sense.
If something didn't happen on those specific days, it didn't happen, and that's the only condition that matters for that market.
Linking a later event to an earlier 'no' simply introduces unnecessary drawdown in understanding the market's clear rules.
It’s like saying my milk went off last Tuesday because I bought fresh milk this Saturday; completely separate.

Saying Saturday's military strikes triggered the Polymarket's 'No outcome' resolution for June 19th and 20th feels a bit like putting the cart before the horse, doesn't it?
Those earlier days resolving with 'No' simply means nothing happened then, a fact in itself.
What actually happened on the 21st doesn't change the absence of action two days prior, it's just a separate event.
For example, if I put a pound on the horses not running on Tuesday because of rain, and then they ran on Thursday, my Tuesday bet still resolves 'No race' not because of Thursday's race, but because of Tuesday's rain.

The US military strikes on June 21st didn't trigger the Polymarket resolution for June 19-20; those markets simply settled 'No' because nothing happened on those specific days. It's a waste of attention to connect events that far apart. The market had a finite window for an event, and it passed without incident for those earlier dates. Saying June 21st caused the June 19th 'No' is like saying a job offer on Friday caused you not to get hired on Tuesday when no one called you on Tuesday anyway.

How can a military strike on June 21st possibly trigger a 'No outcome' resolution for events that didn't happen on June 19th and 20th? That just isn't how things work; the chronology of events is a fundamental constraint. The prediction market for the 19th and 20th resolved based on what did or didn't happen during its finite window, not on something that occurred later, like when a candidate's rejection letter is sent because the team's budget was cut next month. We can't just retroactively apply causality when resources like time are so scarce.

How can one definitively separate insider knowledge from superior analytical ability, especially in less liquid markets?
This posture of treating near-perfect win rates as a primary signal for insider trading overlooks the possibility of specialized expertise.
A trader consistently holding winning contracts until settlement might simply possess a disciplined understanding of market dynamics or specific industry trends.
For example, an expert in German renewable energy policy might predict outcomes accurately due to deep regulatory insight, not insider information.

This is exactly what I was getting at, that no outcome for the 19th and 20th means the market has already spoken on those days. We're running out of time to act on these things once they're done. There's no rewind button after the fact, even with big news, so it changes nothing for those prior days.

It's difficult to see how something happening on the 21st could directly cause a "No outcome" for the 19th and 20th; the absence of action on those earlier days is the actual mandate for resolution.
If you're tracking something on a specific date, like waiting for a postman delivery, it either happens or it doesn't.
A later event doesn't reach back in time to change the fact that nothing occurred then.
To think it does creates a considerable downside in how we understand cause and effect.
For instance, if my bus is late on Friday, that doesn't mean it wasn't on time on Wednesday.
