The title “How I Learned To Stop Trusting Prediction Markets and Love the Arbitrage” isn’t appropriate for the content of the post. That there is a play-money prediction market in which it costs very little to make the prices on conditional questions very wrong does not provide significant reasons to trust prediction markets less. That this post got 193 karma leading me to see it 2 months later is a sign of bad-voting IMO. (There are many far better, more important posts that get far less karma.)
