And fail.

Still, totally insane story and makes you wonder about the "ethics" of betting. If the journalist folded, he wouldn't now have a gambling gang on his ass but we'd get a fake story. How many have folded in such a way? How many stories we read in the media are fraudulent because of this?

Well, it's the media. There's no need for gambling being involved, they're already completely fraudulent. Let's not pretend like "The Times of Israel" is going to publish any real reporting on the iran war anyway.
