Episode Description from the Publisher

Sports bettors lose to the bookmaker before the game even starts. The house sets the lines, pockets the margin, and decides who gets to play — and most people have no idea how much that spread is actually costing them. PRED is a peer-to-peer sports prediction exchange built on Base that removes the middleman entirely.We sit down with the team behind PRED to break down how a decentralized sports prediction exchange works, why betting peer-to-peer changes the economics for bettors, and what it takes to build a regulated, on-chain alternative to the sportsbook model. From how PRED's matching engine works to the role of liquidity providers and what PRED token holders actually get, this is a practical look at what sports betting looks like when the house no longer has an edge.You'll learn:- Why sportsbooks are structurally designed to take a margin on every bet — and how much it costs the average bettor over time- How PRED's peer-to-peer exchange model works and what it means to bet directly against other users- What building a sports prediction exchange on Base (Coinbase's Layer-2) changes about accessibility, cost, and settlement speed- How liquidity works on a decentralized prediction exchange and who the counterparty actually is- What the PRED token does and how value flows through the protocol🔗 https://pred.gg/🔔JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINS🔔: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe
