Look at this legal definition of gambling: "Gambling is when a person bets or risks something of value (like money) based on a chance outcome that is OUT OF THEIR CONTROL OR INFLUENCE with the understanding that they will either gain increased value or lose their original value determined by the specific outcome."
Examples of this is are the stock market and a government lottery, advertising "get rich quick" opportunities. This is also called a tax on the stupid.
Kalshi and other betting platforms offer predictions on likely political, geopolitical, cultural and economic events in the real world.
Perceptive cultural analysts look beyond fake media narratives to discern outcomes which become obvious to them for clear evidentiary reasons.
While individual payouts aren't always publicly detailed due to privacy, aggregated reports and interviews highlight several notable six- and seven-figure earnings:
- A professional trader accumulated nearly $1 million in total profits across Kalshi, with their biggest single wins coming from the 2024 U.S. presidential election markets—specifically, the popular vote margin and the number of House seats won by parties. These bets paid off by going against early consensus odds. He simply analyzed honest polls and took the cultural temperature of environments around him.
- Another trader reported earning $100,000 in a single month from a series of smaller bets, including $40,236 on Time Magazine's Person of the Year, $11,083 on the most-searched person on Google for the year, and $7,448 on the outcome of the New York City mayoral race.
- A quantitative trader has been consistently pulling in six figures monthly (over $100,000 per month) by focusing on a mix of political, economic, and pop culture predictions.
This time by Medvedev — answering RT’s question about France and Britain’s plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine:
“I’ll say something obvious and harsh.
"Information from the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation about France and Britain’s intention to transfer nuclear technologies to the Kiev Nazi regime radically changes the situation. And it’s not about the destruction of the NPT and other things in international law. This is a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to a warring country.
"There can’t be the slightest doubt that under such circumstances, Russia will have to use any, including non-strategic nuclear weapons, against targets in Ukraine that pose a threat to our country. And if necessary, against the supplier countries that become accomplices in a nuclear conflict with Russia.
"This is the symmetrical response to which the Russian Federation has the right.”
"Treason doth never prosper: what ’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

Published in 2019 by the Observatory of Christianophobia, a French website dedicated to documenting incidents of anti-Christian hate crimes, map marks every area a church has been attacked in France with a red pin. As a result, virtually the entire map of France appears covered in red, highlighting the ubiquity of church attacks.
