It's the lazy consensus that a "hot war" means instant market resolution; now we see even Polymarket knows better. That means we don't just wait for the planes to fly; we're also watching for the "No" outcomes to tell us the real story on the ground.

It's not just about "closed windows" or finite attention; the real issue is that people keep confusing a good guess with a done deal. Even with all the chatter, those markets wouldn't have gone "Yes" without the actual jets in the air that day. You can't just wish an event into being for a prediction market to resolve; there's a world of difference between someone's "hot take" and actual boots on the ground.

Yeah, it's pretty tiring, all this talk about "hot takes" and what not. People always seem to forget that even with "boots on the ground", those markets only pay out if the actual money supporting them decides it's a win, and who really benefits from that payout isn't always clear, is it?

The US military strikes on June 21st had absolutely no bearing on the Polymarket resolutions for June 19th and 20th; that's just not how these things work.
Each market has its own finite timeline and specific conditions to meet.
It's like saying a new job opening today somehow changes the fact that no one was hired for a different role last week.
Those earlier markets resolved independently because their conditions weren't met, period.
Causality doesn't run backward, and resources like market liquidity are not infinite; they are spent when the market closes.

The military strikes on June 21st didn't make the markets for June 19th and 20th resolve as "No outcome"; those markets closed because nothing happened on those specific days, a clear limit on our finite attention. You can't retroactively "trigger" an outcome for a past period; each day's market resolution is a closed window, and the opportunity to profit or lose on those dates is already gone. Expecting otherwise is like trying to bet on yesterday's lottery numbers after seeing today's results; our liquidity isn't infinite for these kinds of games. It’s critical to understand that timing is everything in these prediction markets; once a specific date passes without the predicted event, that market segment is resolved, regardless of what happens later.
