Wait, you mean the proudly corrupt conservative government is being corrupt on a betting platform while callously playing with the lives of the American soldiers they have so much contempt for?

Well......not that shocked actually.
This is exactly as designed. The whole point of a prediction market is to encourage people who are knowledgeable about a subject to expose that knowledge in the form of bets. We should want people with inside information to be doing this to make the predictions more accurate.
If you don't have inside information or special knowledge then you probably shouldn't be gambling like that yourself. It'd be like buying stocks on the stock market without knowing anything about the industries the stocks are from.
I'm curious as to how tf Polymarket determine if there's a ceasefire.
Is it "Trump said there's one so thus there is one"?
Iran's foreign minister literally just said there's been zero dialogue between the US and Iran, and Iran can't trust any US deal because they've been broken EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME. And there's no way Iran is gonna give its attackers time to reload when Iran has the advantage.
I take this as a far more worrying sign that these assholes are insiders and are so insanely fucking stupid that they genuinely believe they're winning.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if there is an official ceasefire agreement, defined as a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in direct military engagement, between the United States and Iran by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET.
For the purposes of this market, an “official ceasefire agreement” requires clear public confirmation from both the United States government and the government of Iran that they have agreed to halt military hostilities against one another.
If the agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of whether the ceasefire officially takes effect after the resolution date.
Any form of informal understanding, backchannel communication, de-escalation without an announced agreement, or unilateral pause in hostilities will not be considered an official ceasefire. Humanitarian pauses, limited operational pauses, or temporary tactical stand-downs will not count toward the resolution of this market.
A broader peace deal, normalization agreement, or political framework will qualify only if it includes a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in military engagement between the United States and Iran, effective on a specified date, or otherwise confirmed by an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures without an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting will not qualify.
This market’s resolution will be based on official statements from the United States government and the government of Iran. However, a wide consensus of credible media reporting confirming that an official ceasefire agreement has been reached will suffice. https://polymarket.com/event/us-x-iran-ceasefire-by
