It wouldn't take much imagination to realize that the market on that proposition bet would spike as soon as the attack was announced, and a hefty profit could be made immediately without waiting for the actual results. (The way those proposition markets work, you can sell your bet, like a stock market, and make tons of money on a spike even if it eventually doesn't become true. If Maduro had been killed, that would have been an instant winner, but if Maduro is still alive and somehow got himself returned as president before the end of the month, the bet would be lost.)
