    It is not the matter of large pro-Trump supporters making a few large bets. It is about pro-Trump bots making dozens to bets per minute. Obviously this is an attempt to game the betting system and artificially inflate the odds for Trump to win to provide the appearance (or should we say the illusion) he is far ahead.

    The Polymarket 'whale' is placing as many as 71 bets a minute in favor of Donald Trump

    That's an interesting theory, but then how do you explain this. Not to mention that polymarket isn't the only market.

    Anyway, if you think the payoffs are wrong then just take the bets. Easiest solution ever. OMG use the grey matter in between your ears FFS.

    If there is a whale placing small bets then it's more likely he's nibbling to avoid impact and get the best VWAP. Is this amateur hour?

    Do you pinheads think you're going to sway an election, or even the ET genpop, by posting gibberish spam in the politics forum over and over and over and over and over and over and over?

    Who says they aren't?

    Are you even putting money where your mouth is and betting on Trump? Or are you too afraid?

    That includes yourself.
