Agreed, but I've lost money more than once in polymarket betting on his inaction, fucking stochastic president lol.

I had previously wondered who would possibly be stupid enough to be on the losing side of these bets given that people within the administration are making the bets already knowing what the decision is. Like who is betting on outcomes that are already decided against the people who made the decisions. But I guess that checks out.

Insiders almost always market buy late when there is liquidity to not move the price so much and show their hand, I usually place my bets as early as I can.

Who would have thought that he would bail out a chinese app lol, the Biden one saving his dope fiend son was a lock tough.

I'd ask you to see your bets but people with dumb opinions don't put their money where their mouth is.

Admitting you've lost money because you don't have insider information on a betting platform that exists to make money for people with insider information and then saying people who don't do that have dumb opinions is a chef's kiss of a post.

The only way to win with Trump is to emulate him. Basically go full outlaw. Grift with him. Trade shitcoins. Own the libs mashallah. If that‘s your thing.

He sure was a once in a lifetime opportunity for many who were willing to submit to him for personal gain.

At the end of the day I still view him as the guy whose role it is to act as the front for what‘s behind him. The bandits the Don made successful.

It‘s not like it‘s limited to the US either. His doings are capable of turning your surroundings into a nightmare, probably. It‘s not just limited to the news.
Grift extended edition doesn‘t halt before Euro countries when they‘ve been sleeping on the job of not letting it.

Makes you wonder how many pockets of his ‚good soldiers‘ have been filled around here.

One day without some bullshit floating online around here would be stellar tbh.

Look, the reality is that there isn't a better way to go long on bitcoin than to place bets on the price using a gambling website.

no, the way to win is to profit from the uncertainty and risk. Also, uncertainty and risk in the USA are skyrocketing independent of Trump due to crumbling infrastructure and bankrupt governments on every level. NYC and Chicago are going bankrupt and have been skimping on infrastructure spending for decades.

I've been glazing on the Actuarial profession on this site for 15 years.

EDIT: Chicago is sinking into Lake Michigan. LOLOL.
https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/06/03/chicago-is-sinking-land-under-our-feet-is-retreating-more-than-most-cities/

When water is taken from an underground aquifer faster than it can be replenished, the ground can crumble. Yet in Chicago, where residents get their drinking water from Lake Michigan, there are a few culprits behind the city’s sinking feeling.

a former poker player being a slime baal and so self absorbed and devoid of any morals to the point that they will somehow find a way to brag to randoms about their political bets on a gaming forum? complete shocker and loco.

Didn’t they fired a whole bunch of generals, like, two days ago?

Imagine doing your whole career in the army, serving in multiple conflicts, climbing the ladder step by step, arriving at the pinnacle of the hierarchy to be fired by a drunken, fascist, Fox News anchor playing army with the mentality and the intelligence of a maladjusted 5 years old.

That must hurt.

I don't want to be the guy pilling up but this was my exact opinion upon seeing that and it's too damn ironic to just leave it alone.
guy getting scammed out of money calling other people dumb for not getting scammed. 10 years ago I'd 100% think the guy is lying and trolling for fun. today not so much

No no, it's not "gambling", it's investing.

Crypto, always was and always will be, investing, see, it's not really a risk if you know the line will go up.

Polymarket, not gambling, smart people see these things ahead of time, they know that Bitcoin will go up over a certain amount because they are very smart, and even if it doesn't go they will see that it won't in time and make so much money back, again, smart investing.

Such a smart investor, this guy is, is that over the period he choose to brag about he made a whooping $206!

Just goes to show, if you spend a lot of time and dedication studying the world like our Breivik enjoyer here you can make enough to buy SC2 and all expansions!
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

Hopefully he won't, especially since Iranians obviously get these news from the goverment and are now actively gathering on infrastructure and energy production potential targets, just in case it wasn't clear to "US WARFIGHTERS" that they are committing war crimes when they go after civilian targets:

I believe those are called "human shields" and make the war crimes offset like flags in the NFL?

That would be if they were using human shields for military targets. Like when Hamas puts a load of rockets under a hospital or daycare.

If the target is already off limits than it wouldn’t change things. I really hope this is not a forced thing from Iran, but them wanting a bunch of of their civilians to get bombed so the US looks worse is very on brand.

Gambling on political outcomes is dumb. Dumber still when the politicians themselves and their buddies are "betting" too, because insider trading isn't relevant on this platform for *reasons*.

But gambling on bitcoin going over 130k just seems mindbogglingly stupid. Like... what possible other ways are there to make money off bitcoin going up? Who knows. Clearly the only way to go long on bitcoin is to buy a bet that pays off if it hits an arbitrary line!
