    Okay, first of all, fuck polymarket and all of these betting sites. Sensationalism is their business, so their credibility is nil. They’ve been known to completely twist news stories just to entice people to bet on them. Fuck these guys.

      I am so fucking tired of betting apps, sorry excuse me, “trading apps”. I had to stop watching the MLB playoffs cause it was just nonstop ads for this sports betting shit.

          Pete Rose raped a 14-15 yo and shouldn’t be in the hall regardless of how mlb feels about gambling.

            But that’s not the reason why he isn’t in the HoF. (You’re not wrong, it should be, and it would likely disqualify others).

      I don’t know what you mean. Polymarket is the most authentic representation of humanity possible. /s

      This is almost verbatim what that dipshit CEO said though…

      We might as well take him at face value and take an ax to the thing he’s warning us about (that he created). Just because.
