Gambling is mathematically negative sum. Its a fucking stupid tax. That is ethically dubious for non-religious reasons.[0] _______________ Betfair's business is illegal in the United States[1] Betfair faces millions in fines after content ruled illegal [2] [0] It is activity tolerated (cynically) for its ability to raise taxes, and even then only in small doses. But I believe if you do some google research, there are other concerns.[3] These include things like time-delayed feeds to support real time betting (and fraudulent front running) as well as a variety of your typical deceptive TOS pseudo-scams (bonus schemes, etc).
