    Where did I say anyone was buying up shares after the event resolved?

    When the event resolves, the platform pays out $1 for each share on the winning side. Shares on the losing side are worthless.

    If you have a “yes” and a “no” share, you can join them together and sell them to the platform for $1, before the event resolves. You don’t have to wait for the event; you can sell them back at any time.

      Yes but my whole question was about how a bet resolves, who decides it is resolved and who decides what the true outcome was. So i assumed your answer was to that question, which it didn’t seem to answer.

      See the edit in my original post.
