A trader wagered $40,930 on a geopolitical prediction market bet, betting that a specific military event would occur today. The position has now collapsed to just $127, representing a devastating 99.7% loss. This brutal case exemplifies the extreme volatility and risk embedded in leveraged prediction markets and derivatives trading, where conviction and capital can evaporate in hours when market sentiment shifts.

The leverage prediction market is really a meat grinder. Over 40,000 instantly dropped to 127 bucks. You must have a huge heart to keep playing.
