    If sports is okay - why can’t Americans bet on the weather?

      Can we bet on the weather? I don’t really look at betting sites.

        I don’t know anything about sports betting other than it exploded in size in the US after a supreme court ruling. I didn’t know that until I saw some headlines and comments about it here. At this point if Trump wins - I won’t be surprised if he created TrumpBetting.com and people were allowed to bet on not just Hurricane A vs Hurricane B but anything. He’d face instant lawsuits from the blue states but what would he care? AG Ted Nugent and FBI Director Kid Rock wouldn’t exactly bring him to justice. They’d brag how much they, themselves, like to use the site.

        Sure, you can bet on anything although this is technically just buying options I’m not really that financially smart to intuitively know how you’d profit off this beyond buying low selling high (unless you live in the hurricane landfall area lmao).

          Could you put up your house so that if the hurricane wins, the rubble is somebody else’s problem?
