In this episode of Circles Off, Rob Pizzola sits down with Jon Sadow, VP of Sportsbook Product at FanDuel, to break down the launch of Bet Protect+.
This new feature, introduced during the NBA Playoffs, allows bettors to pay a small fee to insure their wagers against player injuries. But how does Bet Protect+ actually work, and what does it mean for bettors in practice?
Rather than speculation, we go straight to the source. Jon Sadow, the driving force behind Bet Protect+, walks through the thinking behind the product, how it was built, and what problems it aims to solve for recreational bettors.
Rob Pizzola asks the important questions from a bettor’s perspective, digging into pricing, value, and how this type of feature fits into the broader sports betting ecosystem.
Whether you’re a casual bettor looking for added protection or a more experienced bettor trying to understand the math behind these features, this conversation provides valuable insight into one of the newest innovations in the space.
This is a must-watch for anyone betting on the NBA Playoffs or interested in how sportsbooks continue to evolve their products.
