Polymarket should cancel their bets, since the gamblers are trying to influence the outcome.
These are the bets losers pushing the journalist to lie, so thats likely a postive outcome for them. Polymarket apprently banned everyone invovled in the bet after this hit the news, but its unclear how the bet itself resolved.
Polymarket shouldnt let people bet on wars or violence in general, but they will because casinos get a cut of every transaction.
These prediction markets need to be outlawed.
They won’t. The fascists reigning are the fascists behind those things. Luckily, that means you only have to kill half as many fascists.
I don’t understand how it’s not just gambling, what is the legislation for that in the US?
And is “prediction market” a thing anywhere else? Anyone with insights into the legal status worldwide?
It’s gambling but the administration has interests in it
