In this series, Going Deep, we do bite-sized explorations into the most interesting industries, businesses, and economic trends… in Australia and around the world. 

For today's episode, we're looking at one of the fastest-growing corners of global finance that most Australians have never heard of - prediction markets.

This isn’t a bet on an AFL game.. Or a punt on the Melbourne Cup. This is placing real money to bet on world events like whether the RBA cuts rates… or whether a recession hits before Christmas? 

In this episode, Brett and Justin explore how prediction markets went from a university experiment in Iowa to Robinhood's fastest growing product and whether this is the future of finance or just the world's most sophisticated casino.
