Show Notes

The debut episode of Prime Suspects is a crossover with The Betting Startups Podcast, where Joe and Adam give Jesse the background story on Prime Sports.

Hear them discuss:

Being at the forefront of the lobbing effort that eventually led to PASPA’s repeal in 2018
Why they see big opportunity in bringing an old-school bookmaking approach to the US
“Doing a really crazy thing ahead of launching” and talking directly to customers that felt underserved by incumbent operators
The non-obvious reason why cutting into the existing operator market share isn’t their primary objective
Their long-term approach to Prime Sports, and why they won’t begin to think about it as a success or failure until after World Cup 2026
Why they see the current market leaders as being “the McDonald's and Burger King of betting”
Their #1 piece of advice for new entrants coming into the betting industry
The most surprising thing to each of them about how the regulated US market has unfolded
