    Two reasons:

    1. Prediction markets ARE gambling and need to be regulated as such before it has a chance to create victims or empower insider trading.
    2. My moral philosophy is to side with the underdog.

      My moral philosophy is to side with the underdog.

      I go into every sportsball game with this worldview. I don’t care who’s playing, I just like seeing the fallow with an upset victory and the response from the people that care way too much about something that ultimately doesn’t really matter.

        Do you also switch teams when the underdog starts winning too hard and becomes the new overdog?

          I only care heading into a game. Once the game has started the its locked for the game.

          I have no team spirit outside of any specific game.

      Thanks. I have heard people complain about the constant ads, and I didn’t know if that was what got you too. I don’t watch anything on TV anymore (I do streaming) so I never see them.
