    How does one bet on random things like this. What’s the website? I have a few predictions of my own…

        There’s some bets I wouldn’t mind losing.

          Hate to have to break it to you, but placing bets doesn’t alter the outcome.

            When the total amount wagered is large relative to the event, it creates an incentive for people to do things about it.

              eh, when there’s large discrepancies it’s more so about making $ on the swings up until the event passes. it’s called arbitrage, it’s not gambling if you know the actual likely result…then it’s just mathing out the risk/reward and win/loss ratios
