I wonder what kind of bettor will have the heart to spend money earned from betting on people's misery. If a bettor bets on increased death rate and the death rate increases, his/her earning could be considered blood money. Better not to reward that kind of prediction..
Prediction market has to Moral
Well, you do have a point when it comes to moral things but people who do bet into those increasing deaths wouldn't really be taking this as a serious issue when it comes to moral aspects.
This is just business and as long they can make money with it then it wouldn't matter but lets not hope for those increase of deaths.
Pure business and they are looking to gather those gamblers who have interest to this kind of bet. People who are aiming to take some chances to earn even up to this kind of options.
There's no moral stuff they are just trying to make money, both ends are after with the money
nothing else, by the way it's gambling and it's proven that interest coming from different kind of
people / gamblers are always there.
