Most people think that this attack was because the government thinks that Polymaket's polls that showed overwhelming support for Donald Trump contributed to his victory.
Who are the people that think this way? I really don't understand why government officials think out of box sometimes and looking for excuses where there is none.
Let me try to translate this to sport language. San Marino team (mostly believed to be the worst team in the world or in the Europe) play and won against Real madrid (a team with the most valuable squad in the world). The reason for this is because majority of gamblers staked on San Marino to win and this influence the outcome of the match. How does this sound to ears please? Very irrational right
that's exactly what government were trying to say.Quote
Do you think gambling platforms should avoid political events?
Gambling platform only offers the users to predict and place a bet on political events. They do not have power to influence election outcome. In fact, majority of people who stake on some of this political events are not citizens of where the events is happening. How on earth their prediction affect elections outcome?
