Add “profiting from and encouraging the exacerbation of” to the start of my explanations.

Then your attempted explanation is wrong.

Plenty of people have been murdered over sports betting. It's more than your reductive "oh it's just consenting players".

I did not say "people have been murdered", I was very clear and concise in my wording. If you are going to ask a question to argue it, do not strawman people who reply to you.

I know you didn't. I pointed out that people have been murdered over sports betting, thus closing the morality gap between sports betting and war betting.

Just because sports and war are morally different doesn't mean "$verb about sports" and "$verb about war" are morally different. E.g. "reading".

You're 1 for 3 on comment reading comprehension here so I don't think we should continue. Even if you said you agreed with me there's no way for me to know what you think you're agreeing with.
