Holy shit.

Not only this is horrifying cause of the threats, it’s also very unsettling that something with such a recipe for disaster would attract so many rubes to be a working business model.

    Yeah, it sort of makes me wonder how many bets have been fixed already.

    I'm guessing a lot. Our wealthy like to gamble and are not normally subject to justice.

    Distressing is right, there's a lot of potential there. Especially with all the didling going on indicated by the Epstein files.

    There was an article recently about some account called like "magamaster###" creating a bet about Iran, winnining $900,000 and all within the span of about 2 days before just disappearing.

    Pretty sure the people that win aren't doing it by luck anymore.
