I thought there was a fascinating spike in odds on July 3rd so I naturally had to investigate why they would shoot up like that.
I believe I narrowed it down to an interview Kelce did with Jason Sudekis on a skit show around that time

Just wanted to share a fascinating insight into how people pick odds on these sites
There’s also a pool for whether Mike Tyson will bite off Logan Paul’s ear, so they go wild there
The fact that Polymarket is big enough to get people recognizing it just randomly like this is quite frankly amazing.
My boss asked me what the odds were on the Tyson v Paul fight were and this is the best way I knew how to look
Fair enough. Have you ever placed any bets at yourself? I know here in the United States we are technically not supposed to be able to use it, but you can do so with a VPN as long as you set your location to be outside the US.
Nah, I’m in the U.S. and also have minimal interest in betting. I have more interest in how people bet because it’s so interesting
Same for me. I pretty much have no interest in betting whatsoever. Betting is just something that’s never really crossed my mind, as something to even consider being interested in.
