It’s one of the largest gambling operations of human history
Tens of billions of dollars are expected to be wagered across sportsbooks, prediction markets, exchanges and trading apps
All the financial giant consumer platforms this year raced to launch betting products and push odds to users while turning sports into financial markets
In my opinion we are about to see the biggest manipulation event of the century
When more money is flowing on a sporting event than the GDP of some countries, you’d be naive not to ask questions
A single result can move hundreds of millions. A controversial penalty, a red card, a VAR decision, an injury, a referee call… all of it now has enormous financial consequences attached to it
And this World Cup is being hosted in the United States, the same country that has aggressively embraced the legalization and expansion of sports betting over the last few years
Sportsbooks are publicly traded companies
Prediction markets are exploding
Robinhood, Polymarket and countless other platforms are turning global events into tradable assets
Football is still football but it’s different this time
The World Cup used to be about nations competing for glory
Today it’s nations competing while billions watch and tens of billions gamble
Whether you believe in the manipulation or not, one thing is certain
The amount of money involved has reached a level where everyone should be paying attention
