'Bone-Chilling': Gamblers ‘Vowing to Kill’ Journalist Unless He Changes Iran War Report to Help Them Win Polymarket Bet - Lemmy.World

I want to make this perfectly clear. “You wanna make a bet?” died in fucking elementary school for me. Like it should for every mature, sane human. Gambling is for, and done by, the most immature, underdeveloped losers in our society. I’ve never once met someone who went to a casino and told me about that I didn’t instantly lose a measureable amount of respect for. I would have absolutely no qualms about levelling every casino on the planet and forcing the property owners to donate the land to public park space.

You are not “winners with no winnings”. You are losers.

The fact that it is growing in popularity and we now have douche canoes on polymarket every second commercial just tells me we’re devolving.

Basically all of modern society functions off of the back of an elaborate , rigged gambling system.

That’s what the stock market is, in a very real way.

I still don’t get how they make the stock market appear distinct from horse racing for example. Same shit, different name. And don’t hit me with the “but you could research the stocks beforehand so it’s not random” yeah and you can research the horses and riders and it’s still fking gambling and basically 99% random. Well except for insider trading. That’s like a Mafia in gambling, it’s somehow even worse.
