Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are creating ripples across prediction markets. Right now, there's real chatter about potential U.S. military action against Iran possibly unfolding within the month—some even speculating it could happen this week. The thing is, when you look at where the odds are trading on Polymarket, something feels off. The pricing looks stretched relative to what the actual probability might be. These kinds of major geopolitical moves demand serious groundwork and preparation beforehand. The market's probably underestimating how much coordination and logistical complexity that actually requires.

Polymarket's price is indeed outrageous; the market hasn't accounted for the logistical complexity.

Polymarket these guys really dare to manipulate the market; the probability of the Iran incident being exaggerated is off the charts.

polymarket pricing on iran stuff is honestly just wishful thinking. technically speaking, you need months of prep for ops like this—not weeks. market's clearly mispricing the logistical overhead here ngl

Polymarket's pricing this time is indeed outrageous. Military actions are not that easy to freeze quickly, and the coordination costs have been seriously underestimated.

The pricing logic of predictive markets is really toxic... The recent hype around the Iran situation, the odds on Polymarket are clearly driven by retail investors fueled by emotions, completely ignoring the actual military coordination costs. Logistics alone can take a couple of months, yet the market is betting on a weekly basis? This is a typical case of information asymmetry arbitrage, but unfortunately, there are no precise on-chain prediction indicators to verify...

ngl the polymarket pricing on this iran thing reeks of the same overconfidence i saw pre-FTX collapse. everyone's pricing in the "this week" narrative but nobody's actually accounting for the operational overhead... reminds me of when people underestimated the attack surface on ronin bridge lol
