Is a fixed £2,500 threshold truly the universal minimum for a 'longshot bet' to signal potential insider trading, or should that value scale proportionally to the market's total volume or the average bet size?
In the UK, a £2,000 bet might be 2% of a small local market, but only 0.002% of a large national one, marking a 1,000x difference in relative impact.
This static monetary value simply isn't a consistent indicator across different market scales.
We need a ratio or a percentile against market volume to properly score potential insider activity; otherwise, it’s just security theater with no real data correlation.

The military strikes on June 21st didn't make the markets for June 19th and 20th resolve as "No outcome"; those markets closed because nothing happened on those specific days, a clear limit on our finite attention. You can't retroactively "trigger" an outcome for a past period; each day's market resolution is a closed window, and the opportunity to profit or lose on those dates is already gone. Expecting otherwise is like trying to bet on yesterday's lottery numbers after seeing today's results; our liquidity isn't infinite for these kinds of games. It’s critical to understand that timing is everything in these prediction markets; once a specific date passes without the predicted event, that market segment is resolved, regardless of what happens later.

Is an individual player’s betting market really a systemic problem, or just a local issue that needs specific solutions?
When my neighbor, Monsieur Dubois, sees someone cheating at pétanque, he doesn't declare it a 'systemic' collapse of all games; he just calls out the cheater.
Lumping something like player-specific betting manipulation under a grander 'systemic insider risk' feels like trying to fix a leaky faucet by redesigning the entire plumbing system of Paris.
It often dilutes the practical intervention needed, like simply enforcing rules about a player’s health information.
