If only there was more senators could do than warn. And yes I'm aware those who actively work on a ban on prediction markets are probably the ones doing the warning but still. There shouldn't be a headline about prediction markets incentivizing arson but about it being banned. It shouldn't have come to this in the first place, right?

Who cares about the consequences when there is a market to be created and some wealth that could be acquired?

The part I don't understand is where is the money coming from? Are people betting AGAINST wildfires? This shit makes no sense.

You bet on how many fires or how big the fires will be or how much destruction they'll cause. People bet over/under a threshold.
