👽💸 Someone risked $1.1 million on Polymarket... betting that no extraterrestrial would show up to interrupt a World Cup match.
Brazilian influencer Vó Bahiana, followed by about 24 million followers on Instagram, posted a video claiming that aliens would appear during the Brazil – Scotland match in Miami and start removing players and supporters.
The video quickly went viral, to the point that Polymarket opened a market allowing people to bet on whether this prediction would come true.
One user then wagered nearly $1.1 million on “No.” After the final whistle and the complete absence of any alien invasion, he won his bet... with a profit of about 1,170,$ just.
A completely outlandish Risk/Reward strategy, with a return of around 0.1%, even though the prediction had very little chance of happening.
