Traded event contracts on Robinhood

I bought contracts for a football game that became worthless after the outcome was known, but the app still allowed purchases for 17 minutes

What I wish I knew
"The platform would stop trading when the outcome was clear"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when trading event contracts, and report issues to regulators"
