Maybe I'm too liberal here, but I have no issues with betting/gambling being legal, though I think it should be somewhat regulated.
The only exception is betting on anything political or legal, because once you can take bets on those, you'll be incentivized to influence the result in the favor of your bet. And that will mess up the free markets and the free world of ideas and opinions, and seems like a problem for democracy.
