    I mean it's true for Polymarket, you could just place a bet on a local forest catching fire and then light it.

    Edit to be super clear that I'm not condoning this behavior, just pointing out one single instance of how fucked up sites like Polymarket and Kalshi actually are.

    There's been investigations into people doing stuff like this, and they do not get paid out. Like the guy who bet there would be a streaker at the Superbowl, and then streaked at the Superbowl.
