HubDub question
I did bet $20 on the “yes” side of the CFTC prediction market. But now, I want to sell those this “yes” contract and buy a “no” contract instead.
How can I do that on HubDub? Thanks.

InTrade’s Software Glitch? – [See Jason Ruspini's comment, at the bottom of the post.]
Here is a beauty from InTrade, 12 hours ago: Bids and Asks at the same price. Looks like the ‘ol InTrade price-matching mechanism is working great.

David Pennock, a respected expert in prediction markets and market design, discusses some aspects of BetFair’s new bet-matching logic.
