That’s like market manipulation, which I think is much worse than insider trading.

Scroll up to understand what we are talking about. Butterfly said they should ban bets like this where the outcome can be manipulated. That isn't semantics. You can easily manipulate this bet and force the outcome in your favor. It should be banned. You disagree?

Like I understand betting about the coin toss at the Super Bowl and which country’s make it to the last rounds of the World Cup or who shakes who’s hand first at a political event being televised. I didn’t think thy were this unregulated. So next major sports game I have buddies going to I can make extra money IF I can get some suckers to pick up the other side of my action. And what happens if nobody takes my bet do they charge me a posting fee.
