How opening a market works
1. Ask a question
Write a question with two to four options that cover everything that can happen. Say exactly what makes each one win, where to check it and when it closes.
2. Back it with chips
Opening a market takes at least 500 chips of depth. They are not spent: they stay locked in the market and pay the winners. Every market starts even, and each person can bet up to a fifth of the depth.
3. It gets reviewed
Nothing goes live unchecked. Vaticino publishes it, sends it back with changes you have 24 hours to accept, or discards it and gives you your chips back.
4. Collect when it settles
You don't settle it: Vaticino does, with your criterion and source. You get back what is left of your depth plus what the wrong bets lost, so the more people miss, the better for you.
