    Learning from US Political History with Mathieu Giroux

    I am speaking to my long-term political betting strategy interlocutor and political historian Mathieu Giroux, about how his knowledge of history and the way he studies it informs his political betting, and the other way round. Mathieu is honest and up front about a recent loss on whether President Biden would be the Democratic Nominee for President and assesses--in the self-scrutinising way that is common to serious political gamblers--what he can take from that miscalculation going forward.

    The Political Betting Scandal and UK Law with Prof Kate Bedford

    In our opening episode, I talk about the legal landscape around political gambling and the political betting scandal with my colleague and Professor of Law at the University of Birmingham, Kate Bedford. How much trouble are people in? Who will be taking action and what will they do? How important is the scandal in the context of what happens in the wider UK gambling industry? If you enjoyed learning from Kate, you should read her book, Bingo Capitalism.
