could the computer calculate/actualize the odds?
In your Hillary example, I might think she'll win,
but bet against in hopes of a *2 reward rather than a 0.5
Yes, the event description will will tell you what each option is worth.
in the example, people having bet 100ks would share 50ks
0.5k per bet. How do you round it up?
Prediction karma will have decimals just for this reason.
Why require to bet all of one's total daily allotment?
You don't--you can buy one or as much as your remaining daily karma for any given option.
I assume a pay raise is included with this increase in workload?
Of course! I think FF may need to skim some karma off the top of each winning prediction to pay the mods their due. However, since a couple of our mod employees are based in Europe, the EU contacted us in advance saying this extra work would push mods over the 35 hour work week, so we're still in negotiations as to what a fair karma compensation plan would entail. Damn that Simple mod.
I predict you are not going to fix the cache file bug soon.
How many K I get ?
None, because we have no bugs! Bahahaa! (What cache file bug? It's probably a feature!)
