mircea_popescu: zebedee_ no, for two reasons. one is that bets coming in after the fact are refunded
mircea_popescu: there are however bets which only resolve on their stated date, regardless. this is obvious from the wording
mircea_popescu: if the stated resolution is close the bet is resolved now or then, depending on load.

mircea_popescu: zebedee_ you get that weight no matter what you bet. it's your bet * that weight.
