To me one of the few Actually Exceptional qualities of USA is how much good so many have done in spite of my belief that just like with AI, crypto & microbetting today, this country exist entirely on the backdrop of snake oil & greased palms.

Probably my most conservative view is that microbetting on sports needs to be legislated against hard. There is simply not enough friction between a sports bettor and a bet. You have to put some combo of time, physical distance, betting limits, or transaction costs in place.

It’s just an incredible scam. A friend of mine judiciously bets on pitch speeds (microbetting as mentioned in the article). he’s good at it and won something like 10 grand over three years, and as a result DK banned him from making those bets.

Let's also not forget the folks like Jake Paul who launched microbetting website Betr to further prey on those already prone to risky behaviors. Microbetting, "Wagertainment", and Prediction Markets are just more ways to pervert already precarious sports culture.
