Is fixing a longshot bet at $2,500 really a universal measure for spotting market moves?
Here in Italy, that's a substantial amount of money for many people, while in other jurisdictions that could be a small flutter.
A rigid definition like this misses how relative financial impact can signal something important, depending on the local economy or the specific market's overall size.
What if a 500€ bet here shows the exact same unusual activity as a $2,500 bet somewhere else, but it's missed because the number isn't big enough for the algorithm?
