Prediction Markets and Event Contracts
How prediction markets work, explained for the gambling industry rather than for traders. The course covers what an event contract is and why its price is a probability, how an exchange forms prices and earns fees without a house margin, the legal argument between federal derivatives law and state gambling law that is deciding who may offer contracts on sport, the integrity risks of resolution, manipulation and insider trading, a side-by-side comparison with a licensed sportsbook on price, limits, age, geography, tax and consumer protection, the distribution layer of brokerages, sportsbooks, leagues and media that carried the product to scale, and a decision framework for operators, exchanges, suppliers, regulators and investors. Written for sportsbook and casino operators deciding whether to own, partner or abstain, for suppliers and affiliates whose licences are exposed by the answer, for regulators deciding what to protect, and for anyone who needs to explain the product to a board. It assumes you know how a sportsbook prices and settles. The through-line is a question the course keeps open: is an event contract on a game a bet? The exchanges say no and hold a federal designation; the states say yes and hold the definition of gambling. The course teaches the argument and how to plan for both answers, rather than picking one.

Quantitative Betting Models and Pricing
How a sportsbook price is actually made, and how a quantitative desk knows whether it is right. The course covers odds as probabilities and why removing the margin is a modelling choice, rating models and scoring-process models and the corrections that make them usable, the market as a model and closing line value, calibration and proper scoring rules, in-play pricing with hazard rates and the latency and suspension problem, correlation and the simulation engines behind bet builders, and the risk layer that turns prices into money: limits as a function of edge, event-level liability, customer pricing, model monitoring and backtesting discipline. Written for traders, quants and product people who already know how a sportsbook works and want to build or run the pricing engine. It assumes comfort with probability and a willingness to read a formula. The through-line: pricing is a system. Probability from models and the market, checked by calibration, kept coherent across markets and in-play, and turned into margin by limits and customer management that reflect where the edge actually is.

Sports Betting Basics: Odds, Markets and How a Sportsbook Works
The grounding every job in sports betting assumes. The course covers odds in every format and the probability behind them, the overround and why margin rather than prediction is where a bookmaker's profit comes from, the standard markets from match result to same-game parlays and how exchanges, pools and prediction markets differ, what happens inside a sportsbook from opening a market to settling it, the settlement rules that generate most disputes (voids, dead heats, Rule 4, palpable errors), how to read line movement and closing line value, and the numbers a sportsbook reports: handle, hold, GGR, NGR and what they say about the business. Written for people starting in the industry in any role, for journalists and analysts who cover it, and for anyone who wants to understand what a price is actually saying. No prior knowledge is assumed beyond arithmetic. The through-line: a price is a probability with a margin on top, and once you can read it that way the whole business makes sense.

Sports Integrity and Betting Fraud
Match fixing, spot fixing and suspicious betting, from the operator's side of the market. The course covers what corruption in sport actually looks like and why spot fixing dominates, what a suspicious betting pattern is and the innocent explanations that account for most of them, how monitoring and alert handling work across operators, monitoring companies and sports, the operator's real levers of market design, suspension, voiding and account action, the sporting and criminal frameworks and why cases fall between them, prevention through education, market design and information sharing, and building a function that sports and regulators trust. Written for trading and risk teams, compliance staff who own the reporting obligation, and anyone who has to decide whether to suspend a market or void a bet. It assumes you know how a sportsbook prices and settles. The through-line is a discipline with real consequences: a betting pattern is a hypothesis about a market, not a finding about a person. The course teaches how to describe what was seen, decide what can be defended, report what should be reported, and claim nothing more.

Sportsbook Trading & Risk Management
A sportsbook trading course covering how a modern trading function prices markets and manages risk. It explains the roles in a trading team and the shift from manual compiling to model-driven pricing, converting between odds formats and implied probability, calculating overround and margin, removing margin to recover a fair price, liability and risk positions and why balancing the book is rarely optimal, why multiplying odds works for accumulators but not same-game bet builders, in-play pricing and the sports data supply chain where latency creates exposure, customer risk profiling and how sharp and recreational bettors are told apart, and integrity monitoring and the manipulation risks different markets carry. Written for traders, risk analysts and product managers at sportsbooks and B2B providers, and for anyone who needs to understand how prices are made.
