How do spirits M&A predictions work on Liquor Bets?

Liquor Bets runs prediction markets on beverage alcohol mergers and acquisitions across spirits, wine, beer, and non-alc. Markets cover questions like whether a named acquirer will close a deal by a stated date, whether a specific brand will be sold by year-end, or whether a category will see a billion-dollar transaction. Resolution sources include SEC filings, official press releases from the parties involved, and trade press of record like the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Drinks Business, and Shanken News Daily. We do not run markets on rumored deals without a public anchor or on private negotiations. The standard is whether a public, dated event will or will not occur on the public record.
