It seems strange to me that a single source would be used to resolve a bet any way. You have all this crap to make a platform "decentralized" and then it all collapses down to: "bruh, it happened, I swear." It really makes me realize how often blockchain / decentralization / "cryptography" projects are nothing more than pseudo-technical theater. Peak hype-driven development.
That would require tons of infrastructure and investment on Polymarket's side (more expense) and also reduce the number of permitted wagers (less revenue). i.e, never gonna fucking happen, it's way easier and more lucrative to have a hands-off approach, and only intervene for the occasional high-profile misfire.
Apparently resolving bets requires at least 3 sources. At the same time, ToI is the largest news outlet in Israel (that reports in English), so I imagine it'd get a lot of the focus.
