Still a good chance that something will happen in these four years that makes the gambling crisis look completely trivial. I suppose I should bet on that, or would it be in poor taste?

Many, many years ago the libertarians had something they called "assassination politics", in which it was pointed out that the ability to bet on the death of famous figures also created an "untraceable" way to funnel money to someone who could make that event happen.
