No layoff in that time resolves No. Settled from a report by Reuters or the Associated Press, then from Alphabet's own statements at https://abc.xyz.

You buy shares in an outcome at a price between 0 and 1, and you can place a sell order at any time while the market is open. It fills when a buyer takes it. When the result is confirmed, every share of the winning outcome pays 1 unit of the currency it was bought in, and every share of a losing outcome pays nothing. You pay a fee only when your order crosses the spread: 1.5% of the value it trades. Resting an order in the book is free. If the market is VOIDED we unwind every position: you get back the money still held against your orders, and we refund the fees you paid on this market. 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 trades at the book's own prices, pays the same fees, and wins or loses at settlement by the rules above like every other position.
