Media and speaking
I speak and write on prediction markets, sports contracts, and the lines between investing, speculation, gambling, and games. Drawing those lines takes law, finance, and history, and the discipline to stress test the reasoning. To invite me to speak or to ask for comment, email alper@lexiconlabs.com.
