I think sports is much easier to understand than shitcoins, and the payout cycles are much faster than waiting for a cryto vehicle to go up over an unspecified period of time.

Zero-day options.

Sports betting is not zero harm, but the rate of harm is significantly lower than the kinds of betting that are legal in parts of the US.

The US is one of the weirdest markets globally in that it legalized all the high-harm activities (because of massive political corruption) and banned all the low-harm stuff. Now they are normalizing, you have the hysterical people who don't really understand why it was banned initially saying that Eden has fallen.
