Gambling public does not believe an Iran attack on Israel happens by Friday.
Brandon Aiyuk Next Team?
The Patriots, Browns, Steelers all appear to be interested in 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
San Francisco did not have any interest in listening to trade offers at the start of training camp. That may have changed.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Tuesday that Aiyuk has permission to negotiate with other teams but said there's still a scenario where a deal gets done to keep Aiyuk in San Francisco.
"It's been at this point for a little bit, so nothing really new to me," Shanahan said. "You're always disappointed when you can't keep hold of all your players or it's not going exactly right. I don't like losing anybody, so that's why I'm hoping it does work out here. But right now, we don't have that solved yet. I hope it does."
The New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers have been in contact with the Niners and are interested in trading for Aiyuk, sources told ESPN.
The Steelers' talks with the 49ers had been stalled as of Monday night, but the teams reengaged in trade discussions Tuesday in an ever-fluid situation that still involves other teams as well, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Iran Military Response By Friday
The world is on edge worried over the possibility that Iran will launch a military action against Israel.
The assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, along with the killing of leading Hezbollah figure Fuad Shukr in Beirut, has sent shockwaves throughout the Middle East.
Only 33 percent of the gambling public believes such a response will occur before Friday.
This market will resolve to "Yes" at Polymarket if Iran initiates a military action on Israeli soil, airspace, or maritime territory between August 5 and August 9, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, a "military action" will be considered to be any use of force executed by Iran on Israeli soil, airspace, or maritime territory (e.g. if a weapons depot on Israeli soil is hit by an Iranian missile, this market will resolve to "Yes") that is officially acknowledged by the Iranian government or a consensus of credible reporting. This includes, but is not limited to, airstrikes, naval attacks, or ground invasions. Cyber attacks, sanctions, or diplomatic actions will not count towards the resolution of this market.
Only responses by Iranian forces explicitly claimed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, or confirmed to have originated from Iranian territory will count toward the resolution of this market. Attacks on Israel by proxy forces (i.e. Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) will not count toward the resolution of this market.
In the case that the "Yes" resolution criteria are met prior to this market's resolution date, this market will resolve immediately.
Note on Middle East Markets: The promise of prediction markets is to harness the wisdom of the crowd to create accurate, unbiased forecasts for the most important events to society. That ability is particularly invaluable in gut-wrenching times like today. After discussing with those directly affected by the attacks, who had dozens of questions, we realized that prediction markets could give them the answers they needed in ways TV news and Twitter could not.
