If we had fresh eyes on this, would we really conclude that the win rate for military and defense longshot bets is just temporary?
It feels like a sunk-cost fallacy to walk away from looking deeper just because markets are usually volatile.
There's a consistent pattern here, which suggests that the underlying information structure or participant behavior for these types of bets is different.
For instance, defense budgets or long-term geopolitical strategies don't shift overnight like a Central Bank's interest rate decision, which can change based on one press conference.

It's true that markets for the 19th and 20th closing with no military action is just about what didn't happen then, regardless of later events. But if we hadn't already put money into those earlier markets, would we really still keep them open for a "no" outcome when the actual strikes were just a day or two later? At some point, you have to ask if you're just dumping good money after bad to keep a losing idea going.

It's all about how much risk you can really take, and a high win rate for longshot bets doesn't mean much if the threshold for total loss is still right there. I mean, the trade size has to be at least $2,500 just to call it a longshot, which is a lot to lose if the whole thing goes sideways.

It smells like a category error to say Saturday's strikes triggered a 'No' resolution for earlier Polymarket days; the resolution should be about the specific conditions of those days. My gut tells me a prediction market for June 19th and 20th resolves based on whether action happened on the 19th and 20th, not on June 21st. This pattern of confusing a later event's significance with an earlier event's cause feels off, like saying my Tuesday lunch is confirmed by what I eat on Friday. I'd need to see explicit market rules stating resolutions are contingent on future events for this to tape together.

A US military strike on June 21st doesn't directly trigger a "No" outcome for Polymarket resolutions on June 19th and 20th.
Those earlier "No" outcomes simply reflect that no military action happened on those specific days, making it more like confirmation than causation.
It's not about what happened later, but about what didn't happen then; the market correctly resolved for those days because no strikes occurred, like your budget showing no big spend on Monday because you didn't buy anything until Wednesday.

The 51.8 percent win rate for military and defense longshot bets only reflects past conditions, not a guarantee for future outcomes. This number presents a temporary observation, not a stable hierarchy of categories. For example, a significant change in geopolitical alliances could easily make prior patterns irrelevant. One must focus on what is controllable, not market noise.

It's a waste of focus to think military strikes on June 21st somehow caused a 'No' resolution for June 19th and 20th.
The market's liquidity for those dates ran out; the clock hit zero, and nothing happened.
That's how prediction markets work: if the event isn't confirmed by the deadline, it resolves as 'No,' like when my cita previa expires if I miss my appointment.
Don't complicate something simple; resources like time are finite.
