From the discussions I've had with the Predyx developers, they introduced the bot early on because trading volume was so low that markets really weren't engaging for users. It was basically there to simulate other people.

Long-term, they don't intend for the bot to be very active.

In this case, it’s because they made a lot of money off RBF’s massive bet.

the game is designed to take advantage of careless players

That may be a purpose of traditional sportsbooks, but it really isn't the goal of prediction markets. The goal is to elicit as much information as possible by rewarding well-informed positions.

Careless predictors are a boon to more savvy ones, but not to the platform.
