About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the evolution of prediction markets and sports betting, recorded live at BetBash 2026.

For this week’s episode, we filmed in Las Vegas at BetBash 2026! We sat down with our good friend Pads to hear how he went from working as a chemical engineer to becoming a full-time professional bettor and eventually joining Bookie Beats. We break down live betting, some of the biggest opportunities and debates in sports betting right now and how prediction markets are rapidly changing the space. In the second half of the episode, we take questions from the BetBash crowd and dive deeper into market making, liquidity, the growth of Novig and what we’re expecting as the NFL season approaches.
