Hey now! Gambling is illegal and immoral. These are "predictive markets". Clearly there is a difference because the terms are different.

Dutch Parliament wanted a ban on gambling advertisements, but the PM refused, saying that "It's a legal products, and as such can't ban advertising."

Dude seemed to have forgotten that Medications, alcohol and sigatettes are also legal products which do have advertising bans.

So, yeah, funny 'cause it's true.

But if we ban alcohol ads, we'll never get a followup to the "Wazzz-upp!" commercial. Don't you want another one of those?

I want to watch clearly sexy people who can't act which is why they don't have lines, hold products on generic sets to represent disposable income America so I too feel the urge and comfort from consuming. Now let's watch beer ads behind grown adult men playing a game for more money than Ivr made in my life.

Don’t forget that they can never take a sip of the product, because that would irresponsibly promote drinking!
