Maple, one of the sharpest minds in sports prediction markets, to break down how he actually makes money trading sports. From his early days exploiting sportsbook promos and same-game parlays, to originating his own numbers, going all-in on sweepstakes exchanges, and navigating platforms like Novig, Kalshi, and ProfitX, Maple walks through the real mechanics behind winning — and why most people misunderstand them. We dive deep into fees, liquidity, adverse selection, combos vs parlays, and where prediction markets are headed over the next few years.
