'Rude and arrogant' mystery Gambler Makes Huge $30 Million Bet On Trump
Several mysterious millionaires have placed huge bets on online prediction markets in the past couple days - all of it in favor of a Donald Trump win - triggering wild speculation about who is behind the massive wagering spike.
Political prediction platforms have become all the rage in the 2024 campaign cycle and are closely followed by campaigns as a way to monitor candidate support akin to more traditional polling.
Over the course of the campaign cycle Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have swung in popularity as options, and many have
taken to checking their odds as a sort of poll.
Polymarket, one of the most popular of these
election prediction sites, allows users to wager on whether they believe
Trump or
Harris will win the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
But in the past 72 hours the crypto-powered network has had some unidentifiable high rollers throwing at least $30 million behind Trump, potentially swaying the results and raising questions as to who is behind it.

Polymarket - which bills itself as the largest prediction market in the world - is a decentralized crypto platform where users can wager on things like elections and other political events. As the platform's popularity has risen it has been increasingly referenced as a poll
But there are major questions as to the reliability of the platform as an indicator of who will win.
It can only be accessed outside the U.S., requires crypto to place a wager, and only boasts roughly 100,000 users this month - a fraction of the 244 million Americans eligible to vote.
Mysterious accounts have wagered millions of dollars on online prediction markets in favor of Donald Trump in the past hours, raising speculation about who is behind the massive cash dump.
