well, under normal circumstances... but wtf is even happening there anymore?
right, all bets are off. Perhaps they're feeling overconfident from their warmongering, you know, buffed up, thus getting sloppy
well, due to Polymarket, all bets are ON... but only the privileged few know enough to make those bets.
otherwise.... enjoy the rollercoaster!
For enjoyment (not suicide) I recommend 2-3g of 20%+ cannabis and your favorite bourbon!
that's how I'm making it through my Monday!
I just had an interview at a dispensary. I hope I get the job, not only for cheaper weed, but also cause I need a fuckin job.
Good fuckin luck!
Befriend good customers and start (keep?) selling grey market on the side, only way to get paid as a weed barista
I'd totally take that job.
good luck!
Good luck!
Here's my thing.....if Polymarket is just being used to pay bets that are obvious scams, eventually (read: real fuckin quick) Polymarket would shut that shit down. The mob don't let cheaters into their casinos and win big every week. They break the guys thumbs, kneecaps, or maybe just off the guy.
So it makes me think that Polymarket isn't so much a legit betting rig, as it is a money washing service probably set up by trumps people. They pump the money into Polymarket behind the scenes, win big every week, and Polymarket funnels the money right back into their accounts. With a traceable paper trail to them free and clear from the IRS.
I have no proof of this. It just doesn't pass the smell test. Then again, trump in person probably smells awful too.
It’s really not that simple

Polymarket is an unregulated insider trading platform, primarily profiting from insider bets surrounding the Iran war originating from the unprecedentedly corrupt White House
Any attempt to defend it would inextricably link you to the unquestionably criminal corruption of the White House.
Do you have anything to say?
On the record?
What I don't get is where does all the money they win come from? Somebody has to take the bets and lose right? Seems like an awful lot of money to just be fleecing random rubes.
It's bribes / pay to play. People lose as a way to funnel funds without traceability.
