The 20 Clutch comments we loved most lately
The Clutch Team · Published August 13, 2026
Clutch is not only a prediction game. It is thousands of people in the comments every day, arguing, joking, and digging up sources sharper than half of cable news. We went back through recent markets and pulled our favorites. Here are the 20 comments we loved most, kept exactly as they were written.
These are real comments from real players, quoted word for word, typos, accents, and all. A huge thank you to everyone who makes the feed this good.
The 20 comments we loved most
1. The box-office analyst we did not deserve
Not so sure about the 90%: the first Mario Bros only reached 881k households in 4 days on Peacock in 2023. But Wicked surpassed a similar threshold (~5-6M views) last year, and this movie is shorter so it counts more views. I'm more at 80-85%. Do you have other benchmarks?
2. Read out the entire Aston Villa team sheet
Unai Emery's team is handicapped. Martinez, Konsa, and Watkins are absent (resting after the World Cup), Onana and Manzambi are injured, and Bailey is not traveling. They also lost important players this summer. The Parisians are at full strength and the key players are present, so.. Yes ✅
3. Basically a one-person weather service
The peak of the heatwave is expected on Thursday, August 13, possibly exceeding 40°C, particularly in the Central-West and South-West. Almost 80 departments will be on orange alert while 8 departments will be on red alert. (Sources: Météo France, La chaîne météo).
4. Reads Bitcoin charts for breakfast
I'm going with YES. BTC is at 64.5k, it only needs about +0.7% to reach 65k, a very classic movement in 48 hours. The 64k level has held well for several days, even though 65k remains an important resistance. Slight advantage to YES in my opinion.
5. Spotted the value everyone else walked past
People are betting on yes only because theoretically it has a higher % when in betting houses the odds are equalized and therefore all the value is in the NO. How easy it would be to get rich if real money were bet...
6. Game theory in a single paragraph
No chance, the reason is simple: doing this would reduce the audio quality compared to those who won't, and without a global law to force models to have audio watermarks, Suno will choose not to go all the way.
7. Knows the ransomware crew by name
Qilin always publishes, and sometimes even when the ransom is paid. It is confirmed that it is Qilin, so there has been a data exfiltration. Now it is possible that they will take 2 to 3 weeks before going online.
8. Called the ransom standoff cold
I put 100 on yes. Honestly, apart from paying or asking the state for help but still paying a part, what else can they do? There are confidential documents about the players; they wouldn't take the risk of letting the information leak and be sold. I don't see anything else.
9. Actually read the question
Some movie may get more views, but that's not what the bet is about; it's about whether this one will reach 5 million views, not whether it will be the best.
10. Not fooled by the hype cycle
Although the launch of a Pixel on August 12 with Gemini pre-installed will increase the figure, I highly doubt that Google or Alphabet will publish anything about it before the 31st.
11. Pure oil-desk energy
The barrel just surpassed 89 dollars this morning (August 11), and it is currently on a strong rise. It is quite likely that it will stay at this same level in 3 days.
12. Closed the case with math
With 13 hours left, the fire is 43% contained, so it is mathematically impossible for them to extinguish it completely.
13. Deep in the transfer rumor mill
With Araujo's departure from Barça, the club is looking for a center-back and Cuti prefers Barça over Atlético, so this issue is going to drag on.
14. Simple, ruthless logic
Stade Français has found solutions to make the system work without paying a ransom. So why pay? Especially since if they pay, they have no guarantee that the data won't be shared.
15. Was already feeling the heat
Given that those temperatures are currently being seen in Madrid and other places, I wouldn't be surprised if it were like that.
16. Confidence level: one hundred percent
They have already announced that during the conference, they will share all the information and publish the statement, which means that normally in all cases it's a hundred percent sure to win the bet.
17. Loves Apple. Not Siri.
Siri is almost completely useless. Who would want to pay them, believing their AI is better than free models out there? And I love Apple. Just not Siri.
18. Cited its sources, technically
At the beginning of August (August 1-2), Trump threatened again to strike Iran "at levels never seen before," before announcing to suspend his strikes to allow negotiations to resume, but Iran denied that direct discussions had even resumed. Source Claude IA, thank you for the refund.
19. Looking out for everyone’s winnings
Yes, think about exchanging your winnings for gift cards before the rate increases: "To secure your future and continue offering you rewards, the first gift cards will be available starting at 18,125 from August 13."
20. Knows exactly what sells a trailer
It's going to last longer; they need to show gameplay and the map... That's going to depend on the success and sales of it.
Twenty was not enough, honestly. The next list is being written in the comments right now, on tonight’s markets.
