will the gambling habits of the wealthy or the addicted force the reality that benefits their bets?

It’s almost like there was a reason that was all illegal up until now. An obvious, obvious reason.

I’m really confused by how Polymarket works exactly. I get you make bets but for example in the thumbnail it shows a rather tasteless bet on when Iran will attack Israel, and the listed date is March 10th. Tastelessness aside, does that mean the attack would have to happen on March 10th for those who bet on it to win or is it a Price is Right “closest without going over” type deal? What if Iran never attacks Israel, are bets off or is it considered a “house win” and Polymarket keeps the winnings since no one who bet won?
