Polymarket screwing over traders re Venezuela
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 6th, 2026 3:52 PM Author: balding native “This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Venezuela between November 3, 2025, and January 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".”
“This market refers to U.S. military operations intended to establish control. President Trump’s statement that they will “run” Venezuela while referencing ongoing talks with the Venezuelan government does not alone qualify the snatch-and-extract mission to capture Maduro as an invasion.”

Date: January 6th, 2026 5:47 PM Author: Infuriating toilet seat ape The market is for an invasion. The definition requires establishing control of a portion of territory.
Could you point on a map to which portion of Venezuelan territory the US invaded with the intent to control? You're right that it could be a small portion. |

But this is why you don't bet on stuff like this tbh. I wouldn't even put a substantial sum of money on an election on these platforms. You always run the risk of some Jewish bullshit like this |
|
Date: January 6th, 2026 5:33 PM Author: Infuriating toilet seat ape This is a crystal clear "No." What's the counterargument that isn't just based on feelings?
The market is "Will the U.S. invade Venezuela by...?" And they define "invasion" as "a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Venezuela."
Dropping some special ops in for a limited time to extract the president is far from an invasion--i.e., an "offensive intended to establish control over" over territory. If there were boots on the ground to take and hold territory, it would be another thing. But there are not and have not been.

|
Date: January 6th, 2026 5:45 PM Author: Infuriating toilet seat ape The market isn't what wild things Trump says. (He also said we're going to "lock Her up." Where are we on that?)
The market is for an invasion controlling Venezuelan territory. That hasn't happened. |

|
Date: January 6th, 2026 5:49 PM Author: Peach national This is shitlib semantics. The actual verbiage says "commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Venezuela." Trump doesn't have to actually run anything, he only has to commence a military offensive with that intent. Having actual control is sufficient but not NECESSARY to prove intent. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5818025&forum_id=2),#49567498) |
|
Date: January 6th, 2026 5:54 PM Author: Sticky Lodge this. it was a military offensive intended to establish control over caracas generally and at the very least maduro's residence for however long it was necessary in order to capture him.
the issue here is "control" and the time period it takes to constitute it. polymarket thought they were describing something more permanent and substantial, but they didn't spell that out and i think it's hard to argue that landing a bunch of helicopters into maduro's front yard, killing his security guards, and forcibly removing him wasn't taking "control" of his house which is a "portion" of venezuela. "intent" is there the minute you give the order. |

|
Date: January 6th, 2026 7:20 PM Author: balding native the thing is there are people on both sides of the trade so it doesn’t really make sense for polymarket to screw over their users. they’re just a bookie. unless a polymarket insider or whale with connections was on the other side of the trade and pulled some strings. either way what they’re doing is dishonest. at a minimum they should not have titled the market “invade” if sending the military into foreign sovereign territory and arresting its president doesn’t count.
