basically the concept of everything you can think of having a monetary value that can be bet on or traded with?

like wtf is this? why is a major news company moving into what is essentially glorified gambling

probably late to this but yeah

What we betting on y'all I'm trying to get out of the rat race

8/11 on @op next user to be banned 🤣 Bozo alert

its time to stop being so squeamish about gambling

"CNN Partners With a Gambling App That Lets You Wager on Starvation in Gaza"
"Allows for even more obscene wagering, permitting users to bet on whether Palestinians will be ethnically cleansed. “Gaza mass population relocation in 2025?” reads one of its many Gaza-related betting markets. You can also bet on when Israel will bomb Gaza, bomb the West Bank, or annex either.

Yea, no

Problem gamblers have highest suicide rate of any addiction disorder, studies show

aww cmon lets be nice

the f*** are u talking about man

Catch up with the times OP

We’re betting on animal racing and everything in between

this is like impressively evil like very few human beings could be evil enough to cook something like this up

I honestly had to concede that this might be us at our most evil ever

That's like actual dystopian sci-fi absurdity

'Will the conflict with Venezuela escalate into full-blown war? It remains to be seen, but feel free to open the official CNN gambling app and predict for yourself, you could win big!'

Just exercised, my body sore as hell today

We’re already cooked man. Just accept it. It’s going to get worse before it gets better

im not delusional enough to think this isnt the new normal but im not jaded enough yet to accept it

It’s tough sometimes I get it

this another good article @op talking about crypto casinos going wild too

you got 14 year olds getting in 10k debt already from watching XQC and Adin ross

The normalization of betting apps is weird af

futarchy

All these celebs co-signing this s*** are evil

where did that kalshi bullshit even come from

We’re going back to the days of the Virginia cavaliers, where anything & everything (down to the weather) became fodder for legalized habitual gambling!

A time where infectious disease like Hep B was rampant, the world felt like it was getting hotter, rape was actively encouraged, and nobody owned anything — except for the 12 inbred aristocrat families who controlled 90% of the land and installed themselves in every level of government to create their perfect white ethno-state. Oh, and the rich guys were all f***ing kids. So pretty close to our modern day tbh

Apart from the fact that the promotion of gambling is bad I don’t see how this is worse than something like sports betting. I think it’s even a good way for all the society ‘experts’ online these days to put their money where their mouth is.
