Recently, I’ve been watching the order book of a prediction market, and it looks pretty fishy. On the surface, NO seems like a sure thing, but the market movements are really strange—as if someone is manipulating things behind the scenes. A few hours later, everything settled: two consecutive YES outcomes were overturned, and the current information clearly points to NO. Interestingly, the odds are hugely skewed at 1 to 100. In this situation, I choose to side with NO. Even if it somehow ends up being ruled as YES, it’s like getting a lottery ticket with 100x leverage for free—the risk-reward ratio is worth taking the bet.

Wait, overthrow two rounds of YES in a row? I've seen this technique - a typical whale test move. You have to look at the on-chain transfer records, those large inflows will definitely be exposed.

Yeah, this order book is definitely sketchy, but honestly, it all comes down to betting on whether the market maker has an even bigger move up their sleeve.

Odds of 100x? That's pretty ruthless. Feels like a big player is dumping to test the bottom line.

At 1 to 100 odds on the NO side, it's worth betting purely from a capital efficiency perspective. Looking at historical data, the probability of an upset in such lopsided markets isn't actually as high as one might think, and the arbitrage opportunity may actually lie in the lag of the oracle.

Something's off; the odds are ridiculously lopsided. Feels like there's something fishy going on.
