„Erschreckend“: Spieler schwören, den Journalisten zu töten, es sei denn, er ändert den Iran-Kriegsbericht, um ihnen zu helfen, die Polymarket-Wette zu gewinnen – „Nachdem Sie dafür gesorgt haben, dass wir 900.000 US-Dollar verlieren, werden wir nicht weniger investieren, um Sie zu erledigen.“

We fucked up by legalizing online gambling in the usa.
That shit is ruining so many lives.
Combining the dopamine hit of gambling + smart phones was really a poor choice.
Used to be if you had a gambling problem you could avoid the casinos…now its in your pocket.
Smfh.
Law enforcement simply out to lunch or what?
Degenerate gamblers doing what degenerate gamblers do. Blame someone else for their bad bets and degeneracy.
And this is was Kalshi and their ilk need to be banned completely.
Honestly should put some legislation in place to limit what these gambling sites are able to bet on. Its pretty messed up to be betting on actual conflicts.
If this is how the poors act, imagine someone with actual money and power trying to protect their gamble.
This is what theyve wanted.
The worst part is polymarket and kalshi are putting a target on uninvolved human beings backs by announcing publicly they are the ones who settle the bets. IIRC this bet was settled by a specific source that was quoting times of Israel
The only way this becomes tolerable is if the ceo of each company has the sole decision of which side won the bet. Let’s see them deal with the maniacs they created
Meanwhile they’re giving CNN or whatever all the risk and none of the profit
Humans helping humans.
Gambling is a plague.
Tell’em to bring it on! Then show this shit to the FBI and your local news outlets
Ban polymarket already what the fuck lol
If they’re that pissed about 900k I doubt they have another 900k to go after him, but the precedent of what this means is crazy.
When people form their opinions based polymarket and others it’s game over.
I dont know what’s more batshit, the AI psychosis and all the snake oil around it or some seriously sad people betting on everything.
It’s not new at all. Bone chilling to nobody who has seen crazy gamblers, or heard about this issue for many decades in professional sports.
Win, lose or draw, many pro athletes (especially tennis players) regularly get death threats from gamblers because of the result.
And just like that Emanuel Fabian, felt how it was to be a Palestinian.
Raise your hand if you knew this would happen but didn’t know it would happen in weeks.
Quick PSA: any gambling you do online or in person is 100% on you. If you gamble close to $1,000,000 and don’t like the outcome, that’s your fault. Not the fault of the house, a journalist, or the grocery store you bought your scratch-offs from.
At that point, you might want to look into things such as gambler’s anonymous or the gambling hotline.
