We recently had endless discussions about elections in the US, while most of it was just about politics and less about actually betting, it did spark an interesting question in my mind at that time, and that was, would you bet on the guy that you don't like and you voted against because you know your candidate would lose? So keep your vote, but go for the $?

money, money, money all the way!! and yes, I'm speaking through the minds of the majority. Since I'm not allowed to gamble my way, as a means of exercising my franchise, why shouldn't I make some bucks off of it if I've got the opportunity to do so?
Although, I don't seems to see the decency in (the regulatory bodies) allowing casinos to offer 'em odds for people who are interested in wagering.

Good Lord, I haven't heard any news about Shayne... Has he been released ever since the apprehension by the Federal law enforcement agencies?

Will a nuclear weapon detonate in 2024? $3,445,778 Vol

Did I just read this clearly or, are my eyes displaying a blurry vision? $3 million volatility that a nuclear weapon would detonate in 2024?

Any bet that involves human life I would never bet on it. For example the Hurricane that happened in Minton, we saw some site asking people to bet on the number of people they think died during that incidents and it was actually disgusting (I can’t recall the exact site).

As for those you included in your post, they also fall into the category of things I can never bet on - since their action will definitely lead to the lost of life.

We have to come to a point where we draw the line between our choices vs gambling let say for example when you put a smaller club against a stronger club and I am a fan of the small club but if it comes to me betting on the match I will likely bet against my favourite clubs, because I know that my chances of winning bet are higher with the other club my favourite club.

The same will go with betting on an election or any other political events like wars and the rest of the power tussles around the globe.

Is that 2025 you meant to write there, I see you mentioning 2024 beside most global event discussion will be mentioning 2025 already since the year 2024 is almost winding out already

I would go for the dollar as a gambler then vote for whom I think is capable of ruling. Let me say if I were to be USA citizen with my card I would go vote for whom I think is credible enough to lead the nation, while in the gambling site I would go place bet to have my winnings.

I think this same thing is applicable to emotions; when you are gambling with emotions it makes you go against your choice. For instance you have two teams because you are a fan of team A you go give winning to Team A, knowing too well that Team B gonna win but due to emotion and a die-hard fan you wouldn't want to messed up with you club therefore betting against the winning party in order to prioritize your clubs. To me this is not gambling rather just swinging and toiling with emotions.

At that time I abandoned the idea of creating such a topic cause the whole situation on the forum was already bad enough, tuning those topics into 4 chan material but with the current events and current "offers" on polymarket, from the Tyson match to actual war I'm curious, what kind of bets are simply too much for you?

Here are a few examples from Polymarket right now, from bad to worse:

Will Israel invade Syria in 2024? $408,982 Vol.
Another Israeli military action against Iran in 2024? $750,767 Vol.
North Korea x South Korea military clash in 2024?$653,593 Vol.
Will a nuclear weapon detonate in 2024? $3,445,778 Vol

Would you try to make money on this?
