What if it's not even about luck for longshots, not really? My gut says the pattern is about the clearance level more than anything else. It just smells like the folks with the highest access get the best odds in those military longshot markets. You'd see it break if a few top secret documents got leaked, then we'd know for sure.
It smells like a category error to say Saturday's strikes triggered a 'No' resolution for earlier Polymarket days; the resolution should be about the specific conditions of those days. My gut tells me a prediction market for June 19th and 20th resolves based on whether action happened on the 19th and 20th, not on June 21st. This pattern of confusing a later event's significance with an earlier event's cause feels off, like saying my Tuesday lunch is confirmed by what I eat on Friday. I'd need to see explicit market rules stating resolutions are contingent on future events for this to tape together.

Alright, so the market did resolve with a No for those earlier days, even though the big event came later. That means we don't need to chase down Polymarket for an explanation anymore; the system actually worked as intended for those specific dates. It still feels off, but we're clear on the official outcome now.
Saying later strikes on June 21st triggered a "No" outcome for Polymarket on June 19th and 20th doesn't quite make sense. It implies a future event dictated what happened in the past, when those earlier dates simply had no military action on them. Would we re-enter that market and claim the earlier resolution was caused by something that hadn't even happened yet? We have to look at it with fresh eyes; the absence of an event on June 19th or 20th is what led to their "No" resolution, not something two days later.
That's exactly it! The insider track on military bets makes all the sense, especially if you think about how many layers of secrecy there are around defense. It means we're not just looking at a few lucky punters; there’s a whole new story unfolding where access is the real game-changer.
Saying US military strikes on the 21st directly triggered a 'No' outcome for Polymarket on the 19th and 20th feels a little bit like suggesting a successful party on Saturday confirms no one turned up on Thursday or Friday; the absence itself is the proof.
It may be that the market resolved simply because no action happened on those earlier days, rather than waiting for a later event.
Things resolve based on what did or didn't happen at the specific time, not always needing a future event to validate a past non-occurrence.
For example, if you bet on whether it would rain on Monday, the answer isn't typically confirmed by sunshine on Wednesday.
The markets would have reflected the lack of military action on the 19th and 20th quite independently, perhaps even before the 21st's events.
It's worth considering if those Polymarket resolutions for June 19th and 20th truly needed the later military strikes to resolve as 'No outcome'; perhaps the simpler explanation is that no action occurred on those specific days.
It may be that each market operates more like a separate daily lottery draw, where the outcome is decided by what happens within its own timeframe.
For instance, if you bet on whether it would rain last Tuesday, and it didn't, the result is 'No' regardless of a storm hitting next Monday; the timeframe for the bet had simply passed without the event.
Each market would have its own closing conditions and dates, and once those pass, the outcome is recorded based on what did or didn't happen by then.
