- eric_h 11y agoNothing, as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately the regulatory landscape disagrees. How betting on the performance of a company is any different from betting on the performance of an athlete or a horse just boggles my mind. Sure, in the short term the variance is lower, but it's still a fucking gamble. It's also the only legal way to gamble in all 50 states.
- toby 11y agoWrong? Nothing. It just tends to attract the attention of regulators when done at scale. Even Nevada doesn't allow casinos to run proposition bets on anything but sports.
