According to the Wall Street Journal, French users who spent more than $30 million betting on Trump’s victory in prediction markets said there was “no political purpose,” Wu said.
“My goal is just to make money,” said the user, who described himself as a Frenchman who had lived in the United States and worked as a bank trader.
The user bet about $38 million. If the user's prediction of a Trump landslide victory comes true, he can get a return of more than $80 million, which is more than double his investment.
If Harris wins, the user could lose all or most of his money, which he said is the bulk of his available liquid assets.
