But for the modern gambler, these anxieties are now a source of potential profits, as bookmakers have begun offering odds on these very scenarios. Will climate change finally get the attention it deserves, or will we continue to bicker about pronouns while the planet burns? Will there be a military conflict between China and Taiwan? Who will win the United States Presidential Elections? These are just a few global prophecies you can now wager on. Just remember, even Nostradamus was wrong about a few things, so bet wisely, or you might end up wishing you’d invested your money in Bitcoin instead.
