What to Make of the NBA Sports Betting Scandal | Risky Business with Nate Silver & Maria Konnikova

Last week, two federal indictments and several high-profile arrests rocked the NBA. One indictment accused defendants of sharing insider information to cheat at sports betting, and the other accused over 30 co-conspirators, including members of various mafia families, of rigging poker games. #riskybusiness #podcast #nba #scandal #betting #sportsbetting ABOUT RISKY BUSINESS WITH NATE SILVER & MARIA KONNIKOVA Risky Business is a weekly podcast about making better decisions.
