+ Prediction Exchange
+
+ In the casino, enter the Prediction Exchange east of the vestibule. Use
+ predictions, use market, or use exchange at the counter. The commands
+ below work only inside the exchange. Type stop (or leave/exit) to step
+ away; your contracts remain invested.
+
+ N / view N Open a numbered market
+ markets Browse popular eligible markets
+ next / prev Turn market or contract pages
+ find WORDS Search the popular-market selection
+ buy SHARES OUTCOME Buy outcome shares at the live quote.
+ OUTCOME is a number or name: buy 10 yes
+ active Your open contracts, valued and marked
+ closed Your sold, resolved and collected contracts
+ N / holding N Read contract N's market from active/closed
+ sell N Sell all shares of contract N to the house
+ collect Withdraw winnings from resolved contracts
+ back Return to the market selection
+ refresh / table Refresh the current screen
+ look Room, current market screen and casino hints
+ rules Selected market's resolution rules;
+ general game rules when browsing
+ help predictions How to play
+ stop Leave the counter
+
+ Example: use market, then 1, then buy 10 yes buys ten shares of the
+ "Yes" outcome. buy 10 2 also works. Example: sell 3 sells all shares of
+ contract 3. Sales close the whole contract; buy separate contracts if
+ you want to sell in smaller portions.
+
+ Markets are listed in one shared table: number, question, and a single
+ two-sided odds bar with a percent at each end. Unicode frames, bars and
+ line-history graphs follow your unicode option; ASCII mode substitutes
+ plain characters. Colors follow your color mode. Hints use the standard
+ casino command menu and casino_hints option. Look shows the room followed
+ by the live counter and hints, like other casino games. The normal
+ what/verbs commands also list available commands. Resolution rules are
+ shown only when requested with rules. History plots the first outcome's
+ available prices over the past week; new markets may be empty.
+
+ All contracts use fictional carried credits. There is no real-money
+ trading, wallet, external account, or player order book. The house uses
+ Polymarket's indicative outcome prices. Winning shares pay 100 credits;
+ losing shares pay nothing. When a market closes, each contract resolves
+ automatically: a winning share is worth 100 credits and a losing share 0.
+ Resolved winnings wait at the counter until you type collect. Each share's
+ buy price rounds up and sell price rounds down to a whole credit BEFORE
+ multiplying by quantity: a 42.1-credit quote buys at 43 and sells at 42
+ credits per share. No partial credits or fees. Maximum 50 active contracts;
+ 1-10,000 shares per purchase.
+
+ Prices update only on interaction, with no background polling. A failed
+ request closes the counter for that interaction: no stale-price trading.
+ Leaving the interface during an update cancels the pending operation.
+
+ Closed, paused, expired markets and sports past a supplied start time
+ cannot trade. Finalized outcomes settle on your next interaction, even
+ after reconnecting. Ambiguous or disputed resolutions wait without payout.
+ Open values are indicative, not guaranteed sale proceeds; closed values
+ are actual proceeds. Browsing selects up to 100 popular markets, while
+ contracts outside that selection remain on your active list.
