Zicklin Talks Business: Should Organized Markets Exist That Permit Betting on Nearly Anything?
Part of the Zicklin Talks Business Webinar Series. Online betting has exploded in recent years, moving far beyond traditional sports wagers to encompass almost any uncertain outcome, from the weather and political elections to social media trends. At the same time, new online platforms and technologies have made participation easier than ever, blurring the boundaries between gambling, prediction markets, and financial speculation. How should policymakers, regulators, and courts distinguish between beneficial innovation and public harm? What are the broader cultural and ethical implications of a world where anyone can bet on nearly everything? What distinguishes legitimate hedging of risk from unregulated gambling? Join us for an engaging conversation with two leading legal scholars who study the intersection of law, markets, and emerging betting technologies. They will explore the rapid expansion of online wagering platforms, the regulatory challenges posed by decentralized markets, and the ethical and economic implications of treating uncertainty itself as a tradeable commodity. Larry Zicklin (BBA ’57) leads the discussion with Marc Edelman, Professor of Law at the Zicklin School of Business Law Department, and Prof. John Holden, Associate Professor of Business Law and Ethics at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. Dean Bruce Weber offers introductory remarks, and Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb moderates the Q&A.
