Massive Bet Placed on Putin's Departure by End of 2027


A Polymarket user has bet nearly $500,000 on Vladimir Putin being out of power by the end of 2027. The bettor, one anonymous account by the name of ZnotluvuiSamez, bought 3,658,041 shares on the 'Yes' outcome on the 'Putin out as President of Russia by December 31, 2026?'

ZnotluvuiSamez is trading at a $43,511 loss at the time of reporting. The account has also wagered on markets such as 'Will Ukraine recapture Crimean territory by December 31, 2026' with a 'Yes'.

This optimistic outlook suggests that the user believes Russia’s war in Ukraine will ultimately falter by year’s end, a perspective that could be concerning to Kremlin insiders.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
