> If they feel a similar level of enjoyment/entertainment from this type of market, then it's no different
replyIf Polymarket were regulated like a casino, I’d actually have no problem with it.
> I don't have a gambling addiction, I just enjoy throwing money away in casinos. I come home thousands of dollars poorer. It's a net return to my finances. Totally healthy.
replyWeird way to validate polymarket.
how can it be cheaper? people will spend the same amount or even more considering that is more easy to spend more since it's digital
replyIt's all hypothetical of course but I know Vegas has some high table/game minimums and these markets can be pretty cheap if you just want a piece of action. Also, eliminates the cost of actually traveling.
replyAgain, no idea if anyone sees this as a true substitute or not. My guess is not as Polymarket bets don't feel entertaining at all (IMO). So it's not filling that void for anyone, but it hypothetically could.
