alt Hacker NewsJohn Oliver had a segment on prediction markets this week. It covers insider training and opportunities for blatant manipulation like this, well worth checking out. The example in the Last Week Tonight segment was betting on dildos being thrown on court during a WNBA match. And then travelling to the match to throw the dildo.
The WNBA bit was less alarming than the betting on various aspects of the US + Israel versus Iran war.
All gross.
