Psstt… “Bet For Good”… Hmmm… What message does this phrase convey?… That this Dear Honorable Doctor David Pennock is only interested in socially relevant bets and speculations. Great. But what our good doctor forgets is that it’s the non-socially relevant bets and speculations (e.g. on sports) that render the commercial real-money prediction exchanges profitable. Anyway. Don’t get me started on this.
