Victor Wembanyama put his foot down this week, declaring he will never endorse a prediction market or sportsbook. That bold stance opens up a massive conversation about where the line should be drawn when athletes take those exact deals. From there, we jump into a wild NFL Week 4, unpacking the Patriots shocking the Bills and what Lamar Jackson's ankle injury means moving forward. We also react to that viral post raising alarms over high school students and gambling, before tackling a classic debate: is winning a survivor contest actually skill, or is it pure luck? Plus, Matt Kalish quietly deletes months of prediction market posts after relentless heat, and Sydney Sweeney makes waves by securing an equity deal with a prediction market platform.
Join Jacob Gramegna, Rob Pizzola, and Geoff Fienberg live as they dig into the biggest stories in sports betting and prediction markets this week.
