Alright now do it with every politician that outcompetes the stockmarket multiple times over

Betting is illegal in America?

I don't see the issue. Congresspersons do inside trading all the time. The grunt actually put his life on the line to make it happen. He'll have to carry the weight of discombobulated Cubans, too

Operational security violation

That's illegal.

kind of tips people off

Name the last time someone got charged with insider trading

>>65102832
No, that's a strategic advantage.

>>65102860
only when the goyim do it

>>65102846
This. Bets on one self are only unethical if you take a larger payout to purposely perform worse.
Betting on yourself to win is investing in your self worth.

Wasn't SBF charged with it? I think the Nikola guy (electric semis) was too, or some counts of fraud.
Insider trading is legal in the Trump admin. Hell, even if you get caught, all you have to do is donate a couple million dollars in ill gotten gains into the Trump political fund, and he'll pardon you. Multiple times infact!

Holy shit, the ghost of Pete Rose is posting on my favorite board on the Mongolian underwater basket weaving forum!

>>65102860
and yet

>>65102914
Holy fucking kek

>>65102914
NTA, but he's right. If you're only betting on yourself/team to win, what's the problem?

Because it ruins your objectivity for the game. In the case of Pete, while he never did it as a player, as a manager, you can make decisions that have larger impacts down the road.
For example, say you are the manager for the Dodgers going to play the bum ass White Sox. You bet the under, because you have one of the strongest bullpens and the Sox couldn't hit water if they fell out a fucking canoe. But say, it's the bottom of the 9th, and they have a runner in scoring position. They have the top of the order coming through, and you're down to your last reliever. You have ace, but it was supposed to be his day off after pitching a masterpiece the day before. If you're completely objective, you take the possible L and move on. But let's say you put your ace in, and he gets the outs you need, but it turns out he strains his arm and is going to be out a month. If you didn't make that bet, you may have a loss but you keep your ace ready for future games. Now, you're going into a month of rehab for your ace, and now you have to adjust your entire pitching rotation, on top of figuring out how to adjust your betting strategy.

Not when there are literally hundreds or thousands of similar bets

Here is your op bonus

and only one of those bets from one particular ip address is needed to tip them off

So if he hadn't bet on himself, the Maduro operation might have been a loss instead of a win?

>say something is illegal
>never prosecute people who do said illegal thing
>when they do the fine is less than a tenth of what they made on the trade
Come on.
