Ooh, without even looking I suspect it’s close to even?

Edit: just looked and couldn’t find it? I tried searching “Trump (dies, dead, death, deceased)” and it didn’t come up.

I don't think they allow for that sort of bets. But I found this bizarre one

Tbf it's not that weird, the death was so suspicious some theorized at the time that he wasn't even killed, the pics faked his death and the state "confirmed" it but in reality they shipped him off somewhere quiet to continue his Mossad blackmail ring.

Idk if that's true but honestly we're talking about a Mossad agent that had dirt on everyone and state level actors who would have been the help, it is possible, very possible, that it's true, but afaik there's no evidence other than speculation, so it probably isn't. I'm agnostic on it personally.

I guess I was just expecting to see that one. But there's something fun about these conspiracy theories being open to gambling. I'm gonna bet on steel beams not being able to melt with jet fuel. Gonna mortage my house on that!

Are there any bets on whether or not the Twin Towers are still there and David Copperfield only made it look like they'd been destroyed?

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Of course there aren't. Everyone knows Chris "The Mindfreak" Angel did that

Polymarket definitely has a right wing stink to it.

Grifter’s gonna grift.
