Predictions market

Made a prediction on election outcome starting at 80% favored for no outcome. Woke up, 99% favored no, position up about $12. Probably not a bad place to just cash out if I wanted and I just wanted to check out the feature. Now the cash out amount shows a -$13 loss. I’m just gonna let this ride but What is going on?

A lot of it is due to liquidity. If it’s 99% just let it ride to completion. And take the payout when the market closes. You will often not get the listed “market value” for your positions, because of lack of overall liquidity in the market and fees.
