Nobel Betting Blunder: Scraping Scandal or Crazy Coincidence? 😜

by

Oh, what a madcap mess! Chatting with one of those slippery alleged insiders who raked in the bucks from the bet, eh? He slyly whispered (wink wink) that the data dribble might’ve bubbled up from the Nobel Prize website. Scraping, you say? Like peeling an onion – but for secrets! Who knew the grand ol’ Nobel site was spilling the beans before the big announcement like a gossip at a bar mitzvah. 😂

Polymarket Nobel Peace Prize Catastrophe: Clues Point to Sneaky Web Scrapin’!

Picture this: Maria Corina Machado’s odds for the Nobel Peace Prize skyrocket on Polymarket mere hours before the official hullabaloo – kaboom! Everybody’s yapping about insider trading faster than you can say “farbissener.” But wait, the real punchline? The mystery’s hiding in broad daylight, you schmuck! 🤣

Enter Fhantom Bets, that Polymarket maestro, hosting an X space tête-à-tête with one of the alleged wise guys who cashed in big time. The insider played coy about spilling the source, but dropped subtle hints like a bad comedian about web scraping – you know, that fancy-schmancy process of rifling through websites’ guts for hidden nuggets. Sarcasm alert: Oh yeah, totally legit! 😏

He confidently declared the golden info was “accessible to anyone,” adding a cheeky, “You can brute force your way into a lot of things,” while bragging about past escapades in prediction markets that would make even a borscht belt comic blush. (Past tense? More like past the point of no return!)

Fhantom Bets, ever the drama queen, insisted there was juicy public porridge on the Nobel site hinting at Machado’s win way before dawn. “It’s possible that 12 hours earlier, the web pages were teasing Machado as one of many possibles,” he blustered. (Sure, possible – or just a cosmic joke? 🌌)

But hold the phone! Other wink-wink types speculate it could’ve been good ol’ human folly – maybe the website wizard blabbed to cronies outside the ivory tower. Because nothing says “peace prize” like a good old-fashioned leak-a-thon. Roll eyes here. 🙄

And get this: Miss Machado wasn’t even the belle of the ball heading into the gala! The opposition firebrand, who’d once boasted that bitcoin would fix Venezuela’s wallet woes, snagged the prize for her “tireless work spearing democracy for the Venezuelan folk and her battle royale against dictatorship to burger democracy.” (Democracy with fries? Sounds like a winner! 🍔)
