The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on October 9 the awarding of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay. However, on Polymarket, where bettors had wagered over 32 million dollars, her name was not even among the proposed candidates. In October 2025, the surge in odds for Maria Corina Machado, hours before the official announcement , raised suspicions of a leak and led Norwegian authorities to open an investigation. This year, the problem is different: bettors simply did not consider the winner’s name.
