Any sort of gambling should be limited to, say 20% of your average yearly tax (last 5 years). Prediction market should be banned.

That seems to imply concern for the gambler, who at least has chosen to play.

A much bigger problem might be when these markets bet on a meatspace event and then a bunch go out and try to influence innocents in meatspace, to great detriment of society. Like this journalist https://readwrite.com/threats-israeli-reporter-polymarket

How about you let people decide what they do with THEIR own money?
