We can't keep these guys for resolution, credibility is completely gone. Every trader will desert war markets if they are kept on.

This thing is going off like crazy! Two whole Hitlers! One saying the Ukraine war is a genocide and the other saying betting on genocide is good.
Directly profiteering from ongoing genocide
You really have people in 2025 claiming that the Ukraine War is a war of extermination?
They need something to do a false equivalence to Israel with
You have people in 2025 thinking Xinjiang's Uyghurs are all held in camps. Libs hate to actually keep up with the news
you dont even have to leave Lemmy to find them too! the lib power users still lose their shit any time someone questions xinjiang narrative or calling Ukraine a genocide
name and profile fit the user in the image lol
I.... Wtf
What, you don't gamble on the exact position of advances made during a war?
They defrauded the polycule market 
Gambling on life and death should be illegal. Industry that grows around such a thing inevitably has an incentive to encourage war to happen or never end.
if people could bet on shareholders death, it would provide incentive structure for concerning stuff, but obviously that’s why that is explicitly forbidden on polymarket. So they did think about it, but only about public figures, not the plebs (or at least with some obfuscation, as is here).
But I still don’t get how do they even create this shit in that case, who is betting for and against, like why, just due to odds?
Gambling ~~on life and death~~ should be illegal
I wouldn't go that far. Disorganised forms of gambling at small scales and wagers are probably fine, I wouldn't want to criminalise harmless betting between small groups. It's organised gambling that is a real problem. The local poker night with £10 buy ins doesn't need a to be illegal.
Agree, it would be anyway unenforcable on small scale.
A sure sign of a healthy economy is gambling on every possible event!

"this is fraud!!!!" i whine as malicious financial actors exploit the unregulated betting markets I gleefully push to vulnerable people as if it's a 401k
Capitalism vacuuming desperately needed money out of peoples' pockets is fun when it's not my pockets!
