I write, post, research, teach, and consult on gambling and prediction markets. I also gamble. I am a research and policy fellow at the American Institute for Boys & Men. My writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, City Journal, and STAT News, and I’ve turned up on CNN, NBC, Vice, and in Netflix’s The Prediction Games. X/Twitter, Substack.
