Upsets in the World Cup and liquidations in contracts are essentially the same thing. I watched the Netherlands match where they lost 0-3. Before the game, the odds had the Netherlands giving away 1.5 goals, and the comments after the match were flooded with "match-fixing". How is this different from the futures market? You’re bullish on a coin, open a 10x long position, and then a sudden piece of news hits, causing a price spike against you, and boom—your position is wiped out. The same goes for the Netherlands match; you had faith in them, placed a hefty bet, and then three goals later—your money's gone. The difference is: in football, you can blame it on match-fixing, while in contracts, you might say the market makers are manipulating things. But the truth could be the same—you just misjudged the probabilities. Upsets aren’t impossible, and liquidations aren’t impossible either. The real question is: did you leave room in your position for the "impossible"? #BinancePickAndWin
