It started innocently enough. I became interested in playing the prediction market game after a friend of mine made thousands of dollars betting on single mothers being evicted from their homes, and then turned those thousands into millions by buying stakes in the United States to not meet its 2025 climate goal of reducing CO2 emissions.
