Temporarily embarassed liberal elite

There was a proof of concept that Robin Hanson, at least, should have been aware of and was not. Legal sportsbooks in the UK (which are ubiquitous - every high street has multiple betting shops outside the most salubrious areas) can take bets on anything (except the results of the National Lottery draw and the outcomes of court cases), as can UK-based betting exchanges like Betfair, so prediction markets are effectively legal. The only non-sports markets that attracted any liquidity were election results and "celebrity specials" like royal baby names.
Although given the aesthetics of the Red and Blue tribes in 2026, dressing well increasingly constitutes dressing like a liberal. Plenty of women have fantasies about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by a man dressed in a way die_workwear would approve of.
