Lol 2 days ago. Dodgers lost 18-1. I bought like 1k shares dodgers for 10 bucks or so. 

Of course I took it as lost. 

Next day I come in and I had the the 1k shares to be claimed. 

I claimed thinking I bought wrong or something I was happy. 

Then I accessed the Prediction and it was a note from Polymarket team. that there was a mistake and winners will get their founds back.

After reading CT I saw there was a Uma Manipulation to claim Dodgers won when they did not lol. 

Glad for the free 1k, Also happy Polymarket fixed it for the winning team. 

So Yes, If you are a whale, truth does not matter.

Another Polymarket disaster yesterday 🚩

$217k bet on the Astros vs Dodgers market

Astros win 18-1

Market resolves to Dodgers thanks to UMA whale manipulation https://t.co/Yl1oHAb2nI
