Does the 50-50 settlement for the canceled W15 Bol match distort the market?
In the W15 Bol qualifying match, Aleksandra Janiszewska holds a 95.8% predicted win probability against Maja Pawelska, yet the match did not occur on October 13 as scheduled, and the market rules state a 50-50 settlement if the match is canceled. Does this stark gap between the high-confidence prediction and the actual settlement rule indicate that prediction markets can be severely distorted under event uncertainty (such as cancellation risk)?
