      The whales can manipulate the bets and make themselves win even if it doesn’t happen.

      I love crypto, but this shit is a pure scam.

    Thank you very much for the explanation!

    Although I find 2h a bit short, especially for small betting pools, where there is a high chance that mostly people sleep, work or do something else

      I also read that there’s some rule chaneges (on what is considered yes/no) by polymark on some bets and general complaints, don’t know if those are just sore losers or valid but I’d read up on that if you want to bet on the platform, I never used the service.

    So, I can bet on whether I’m gonna shit my pants this year? Great way to lift my spirits if I were to shit my pants.

      You’d have to convince enough people that you aren’t going to shit your pants first “@fartographer@lemmy.world”
