November 11 Webinar: Should Organized Markets Exist That Permit Betting on Nearly Anything?
 

Online betting has exploded in recent years, moving far beyond traditional sports wagers to encompass almost any uncertain outcome. 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 (above, left), Professor of Law at the Zicklin School, and Prof. John Holden (above, right), Associate Professor of Business Law and Ethics at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. With an introduction by Dean Bruce Weber and Q&A moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb.
