~10 hours or so before the announcement bets on her skyrocketed on Polymarket

Someone without any history whatsoever put 70k on her 5 hours before the announcement

Trump was never above 5-10% and out of nowhere she was the winner (see the 1 day market view) https://polymarket.com/event/nobel-peace-prize-winner-2025?t...

Are you suggesting that an unregulated gambling system primarily advocated for by gamblers in an ecosystem rife with degenerate gambling and outright fraud that advertises itself with an entirely theoretical and vibes based theory of "better information" that is primarily filled with people desperate to make gambling a "good thing" and provides ample opportunity for the incestuous and deeply connected crypto community to fleece people who have repeatedly demonstrated themselves to be delicious targets...

You think maybe that might not be on the straight and narrow?

Maybe we should get people to bet on it! Gamblers routinely show that they have a strong understanding of the world, right? What? No I don't have a problem. Hey do you have a few dollars I can borrow?
