Hear them discuss: The rise and growing pains of the regulated U.S. sports betting market since PASPA was repealed Why higher tax rates, betting limits, and shifting regulation have changed the industry's outlook Looking back at the "gold rush" era of sports betting and whether those opportunities still exist Why community remains one of sports betting's biggest untapped opportunities, from live events to social experiences How DFS paved the way for products like PrizePicks, Kalshi, and prediction markets The ongoing debate over what qualifies as gambling versus financial trading Whether prediction markets can justify their soaring valuations and challenge established sportsbooks Why DraftKings, FanDuel, and other incumbents may still be best positioned to dominate if prediction markets expand The growing concern around gambling's influence on younger audiences and the need for gambling education in schools Jeff's predictions for where sports betting, prediction markets, and the broader gambling industry are headed over the next decade ⚡️ Follow BoB on Twitter/X ⚡️ Watch BoB on Youtube ⚡️ Apply to be a guest here
