Resolves Yes if the first letter of the laureate's surname, as the name is written in the official announcement at https://www.nobelprize.org (family name, in the Latin-alphabet form Nobel uses), is A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J or K.

Every stake on the same outcome goes into that outcome's pot, and each currency is settled separately. When the result is confirmed, the winning side takes the whole pot in that currency and we split it in proportion to what each player staked, so you get your winning stake back in full plus its share of what the losing side staked. The platform rake is 0% of the losing side's stakes. We never take it from a winner's own stake, so you cannot lose money on a winning bet. In three cases return the money instead of paying it out: if the market is VOIDED, every stake is refunded in full; if nobody backed the winning outcome in a currency, every stake in that currency is refunded in full; and if nobody took the other side, every stake is refunded in full and no rake is taken. After we confirm the result we hold winnings pending for 24 hours, the dispute window. When it closes we credit them to your balance. House position: the operator set this market up and may take a side in it. Any operator stake is placed as The Sheriff and is real money on the same terms as yours - it wins or loses with the pool, gets no better odds, and is settled by the rules above like every other stake.
