Time magazine has selected 4 person/groups for the person of the year 2018
All were journalists or least related to a journalist

Jamal Kashogi
The Guardians
Maria Ressa
Wives of Myanmar's Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo

What I am not in favor of is Maria Ressa of Rappler, this online news portal's aim is to make money, they use exaggerated subject title to get the attention of readers and they are a known critic of the current president of the Philippines which is Rodrigo Duterte. At least among the favorites, there's one who we're selected which is Jamal Kashogi.

The result was both unexpected and potentially controversial for some people. Have you seen however the choice explaining video?

This Person of the Year bet was funny. It is solely at your discretion, of course , but some kind of Brexit/second referendum bet may be interesting as well.
I personally feel that political betting is severely underexplored for no good reason. People living outside of the UK have no access at all to this thriving market.
and it appears to be far more suitable for an individual punter than ridiculously rigged stock market.

Yeah it was fun - the overall pool was over 1BTC

. And the result was quite unexpected, wasn't it?

We are thinking about adding more political bets. The problem from our perspective is that it's hard to settle the bet resolution date. In the mutual betting people like to bet just before the event ends.
However, we see that there is a quite nice demand for that and want to try

Do you have any suggestions for political bets? We'd love to add them.
