On this episode of the Business of Betting Podcast, Jeff Edelstein sits down with Dan Zimmerman, co-founder and Chief Intelligence Officer of Betting Intelligence, to discuss the explosive growth of prediction markets and the weaponization of market data. Hear them discuss: How Dan transitioned from launching a consumer-facing app to founding a private firm focused on the underlying intelligence value of prediction markets Why he defines "BETINT" as a new discipline alongside OSINT and HUMINT dedicated to interpreting behavior on gambling and stock platforms How prediction markets have expanded far beyond sports to price complex real-world realities like the outbreak of wars and assassinations Why current insider trading guardrails are largely an illusion against individuals with true non-public information who know how to conceal their identity How bad actors and state operations can manipulate public sentiment using fake AI footage and bot farms to move market lines for financial profit The phenomenon of "signal jamming" and how million-dollar volume walls are strategically placed to absorb and mask smaller informational leaks How Betting Intelligence utilizes deep wallet forensics and a natural language AI interface to provide an information insurance layer for newsrooms and government agencies Why Dan’s biggest fear is that massive institutional capital will eventually enter these platforms and price out everyday retail traders ⚡️ Follow BoB on Twitter/X ⚡️ Watch BoB on Youtube ⚡️ Apply to be a guest here
