Today I tried to make a move there, but I ended up stopping halfway. There are some types of, let’s say, bets there that are somewhat ridiculous. This market should be a bit more regulated and have some common sense. Unfortunately, I’m seeing betting houses being more sensible than the new model of prediction markets. And it’s a bit strange to say that.

Aren’t they CFTC regulated? If so, it’s jail time!
