Can a single destructive user destroy the reputation of prediction market?
Brüggelambert describes the “destructive” user as a person that gets enjoyment out of making silly decisions to destroy the experiment. From former market observations we have learned that this type of user, if even existing, is only a very small minority. Prediction market are designed as zero sum games, which means that absurd decisions of some users are a base for other users to gain profits. These scenarios are also an incentive for users to observe the market closely and makes the markets more attractive.
