'Eight Men Out is a 1988 American period sports drama film based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It was written and directed by John Sayles. The film is a dramatization of Major League #Baseball's Black Sox Scandal in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with #gamblers to lose the 1919 World Series. Most of the movie was filmed at Bush Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.'

Eight Men Out - Wikipedia

"Alle 6:49 di lunedì mattina ora di New York,
[...] i mercati hanno cominciato ad avere dei movimenti anomali. [...]

Poiché i movimenti di borsa sono stati provocati da un annuncio di Trump, l’ipotesi più plausibile è che le informazioni necessarie per l’ #insidertrading siano arrivate da qualcuno con accesso al presidente o alla sua amministrazione, che quindi sapeva che Trump stava per rimandare l’ultimatum. Questo nelle amministrazioni statunitensi passate sarebbe stato un grande scandalo[...]

Prima ancora della guerra in Iran, su #Polymarket erano state fatte grosse vincite sull’attacco di gennaio contro il Venezuela, e su altri eventi che in teoria dovrebbero essere noti soltanto a poche persone vicine a #Trump."

Qualcuno sta guadagnando molto con la guerra, e c’entra il governo americano

Negli Stati Uniti sono state fatte varie scommesse sui mercati con tempismo decisamente sospetto

@michaelburns.bsky.social explains why gambling can in fact make our society worse. A great way to find out the odds on that is to watch the video! Also, everything in our society has or will soon be financialized. So it's time to learn about that! 💸💰 #MichaelBurns #Gambling #Polymarket #youtube

"The logic behind prediction markets is unlike a poll or a pundit. Instead, the bettor has to publicly put money on the line about their expectations and will lose hard cash for being wrong. This should incentivize accuracy, but only if one assumes the money on the line reflects genuine belief rather than privileged access.

Evidence that it may reward privileged access to information is accumulating."

Ashley Splawinski looks at the Kalshi and Polymarket betting markets where people have made money betting on who will be killed next and when, and explains why we're not likely to see much regulation of those markets soon.

There's the fact that Donald Trump Jr. is on Polymarket's advisory board and is a strategic advisor with Kalshi.
