Maybe they should just enable betting on things which arent as popular now. Things like "will congress do anything useful this session" - or - "will gov christie pay in some way for the accusation of the bridge gate". That way the state can make money and get civi engagement at the same time.
But then the intention is different here - you are trying to profit thats the main aim of gambling. You are not "just rooting" for a particular side. Somehow gambling seems to be wrong in any arena. It doesn't serve the larger groups interest at all.
The current case for gambling, framed in progressive terms and emphasizing economic benefits, misses the underlying issue with mass sports betting. Betting should stay illegal not because it poses a dangerous moral hazard to individuals but because it leads to a marked increase in match-fixing.
