Can on-chain data be misleading? Feels like this 79% is a bit high.

Polymarket, I have to question this data—79% is way too high.

Haha, polymarket is partying again, 79%? I have to say... Usually, when such high odds appear, it's actually the most dangerous signal.

Decentralized prediction markets are more honest than traditional polls; money doesn't lie.

Polymarket, those guys are always betting on politics, really treating the election like a horse race... 79%—that number feels a bit suspicious.

On-chain data doesn't lie, and a 79% probability is a bit scary... The dual pressure of polls and on-chain betting, the Republican Party needs to step up their game.

Is the 79% figure real? Is the liquidity on Polymarket deep enough?

Hmm, these numbers are quite impressive, with 79% being overwhelmingly high... Are these on-chain gamblers really more accurate than polls?
