I would love nothing more than to wager on that claim with anyone keen.

This thread is full of cringeworthy doomsdayers and armchair epidemiologists throwing around unsubstantiated nonsense. When your only knowledge of this comes from the media people should be a bit more selfaware.

The fact that qAnon folks are all over this and one day old accounts turning up saying millions will die speaks volumes for the level of discourse here.

Bet on the above comment stands for anyone. $1000 USD sound ok? Put your money where your mouth is.




Is there any platform where this could be done, or any proxy that one could trade in order to place this bet? I would also gladly put US$1000 on this.


Long Bets (longbets.org) would be one. Unfortunately, the minimum period there seems to be 2 years.


How are you any different than the other “armchair epidemiologists” in this thread? If anything, I’d say you’re worse than others as you want to profit over a potential pandemic where thousands may die.

The stock market has taken a hit over this outbreak fear. Go place your contrarian bets there if you’d like.


So $1000 then on the above statement I was responding too? Am keen, there's numerous p2p betting marketplaces we can do this in.

Put your money where your non-contrarian mouth is if you are so sure, the media told you so it must be true right?

Mark my words no one will mention this stuff in 3 months.


That's a good hedge bet for whoever takes it.
