If they didn't predict this kind of thing happening in their market then they are incredibly stupid. It's an unregulated "market" where anyone can place a prediction on an outcome. The only limitation is certain types bets aren't allowed, like betting on someone life. And I'm not sure how strictly that's enforced.
