Risks

• You can lose what you put in. Prices move, and a market can resolve against you.
• A market can resolve Invalid. Then every share pays 0.5, whatever you paid.
• Resolution relies on people: a resolver, a challenger, an arbitrator. The bonds and the public evidence are there to keep them honest, not to make mistakes impossible.
• Thin books fill at worse prices. Check the worst price on the ticket before you sign.
• Archery is software on a young network. Testnet can be reset; mainnet has no undo.
• Prediction markets aren’t allowed everywhere. Check your local rules.
