It's not gambling if they control the outcome

Hey I've got a great~/s~ idea: let's make a market for assassination derivatives! Since the prediction markets don't allow you to bet on a person's death directly, someone could make a separate app to algorithmically find all the open prediction market bets expected to either resolve- or become a whole lot more likely or unlikely- if a specific famous person dies by a certain date, then package positions on those all into something like an ETF, and let people anonymously daytrade them for crypto.

That's one of the reasons prediction markets are a shitty idea

I thought trumpets loved the prediction market when they control it and benefit from it, and part own it (little don)
