    no true gambling huh?

    1. the saps losing money to the insiders are genuinely gambling
    2. polymarket is a gambling institution.
    3. without polymarket, you can’t have this insider/sap exploitation dynamic

      The specific problem of people from the Trump admin betting on polymarket is not “gambling”.

          Thats true i suppose, but there’s a bunch of more appropriate descriptions, like abuse of office or corruption.
