Exactly, gambling should be as low stakes as we can possibly make it. We’re not going to remove it but at the very least it shouldn’t be able to infiltrate all aspects of our lives easily like now.

What could possibly be a problem with every man under the age of 30 having a gambling addiction and putting themselves even further behind in a society that won't even give them basic health care for working 70 hours a week? I thought this was America!

And the incentive is literally to get things comprehensively wrong, encouraging people wagering massive amounts of money. Because unlike casinos, Polymarket takes its cut whether people win OR lose. The more you win, the more polymarket makes, the more you lose, the more polymarket makes.

I feel no sympathy for them. If you’re betting with polymarket it’s pretty much over for you. I’d implore them to seek help, but would prob fall of deaf ears.
