    Why was this a question. It's obviously fucking gambling. Putting money on the outcome of an event is the fucking definition of gambling...

    This one is going straight to the supreme court. The trump crime family is making way too much off these to go down without a fight.

    i hear the gambling industry as a whole is actually kind of struggling (outside of sports), as the stock market is more accessible than ever and that's the biggest casino around really

    It's also the only casino where the odds aren't necessarily stacked against you.

    In every other form of gambling, it's a statistical certainty that you'll eventually lose money doing it. But in stock gambling, it's possible to come out ahead in the long run.

    Ok, now make the logical connection and do non-commodity futures markets.

    Hell, commodity futures as well. Or at least outlaw established markets for it. If you want to buy or sell a futures contract, you should have to write up the contract and find the buyer/seller yourself.

    All market behaviour is gambling and economic war against everybody else - to the death. But it doesn't sound as benign / innocent as 'competing on markets'.. Point is that all market behaviour needs regulation or better yet, to disappear.
