That's unfortunately nothing compared to crypto and stock exchange gambling.

More than half of trading in options in major indexes like S&P 500 is now driven by retail trading 0DTE options - which are options that expire on the same day. There is absolutely no way to predict what will happen on a particular day in the index - so this is 100% pure gambling.

The damage is already big enough, but it will become catastrophic for young people addicted to it, once the bubble pop.
