The Polymarket betting exchange shows a dramatic shift in predictions after the elections: Gadi Eisenkot leads with 38% chance of being the next prime minister, while Benjamin Netanyahu is in second place with 35%. However, the volume of investments on Netanyahu is significantly larger than that on Eisenkot. The article describes sharp fluctuations in the market since last December, with a plunge in June for the candidate who had been leading until then and a gradual strengthening of his rivals in the summer and autumn. Additionally, investors poured about $5.6 million on Naftali Bennett and about $4.7 million on Avigdor Lieberman, despite their low odds. The headline uses the word 'upset' and an absolute phrasing, while the body presents a more complex picture with a small percentage difference and larger investments on Netanyahu.
