As war looms again between the USA / Iran today, I am faced with this question around prediction markets and gambling on such outcomes.
"Do you think it is morally acceptable to bet on outcomes around war?". These platforms allow anyone to spin up a topic to bet on, regardless of the moral question if it should be done.
Personally for me, it's not acceptable. Betting on anything that revolves around death or injuries to others for profit doesn't sit right with me and we know that governments do it, but we think they are morally bankrupt for such behaviour.
I'm curious to see / read your viewpoints and please add some context with a comment. I also created an X poll on the link below, if you would like to add on that side as well.
