Someone who thinks it's a worthwhile gamble of course, hence the term betting market. I get that someone campaigning could think 30 million bucks is cheap advertising, but really, the point of these prediction markets is that it doesn't matter who, money talks. Someone wants to be mischievous, make something look more likely than it is, someone else can just snatch up their money and walk away with it.
