⚠️ Not financial advice — this is commentary, not a betting or investing recommendation.
Recorded Friday, Aug 14, 2026.
Sports betting grew 40x in seven years — from $430M in 2018 to $17B in 2025. And Gen Z isn't treating it like entertainment. They're treating it like a portfolio. 😳
Dave breaks down the numbers: 52% of Gen Z has put money into sports betting in the past year, more than double the next generation. 26% call it a deliberate part of their long-term financial strategy. Over 25% think betting, prediction markets and crypto beat traditional markets.
In this segment:
- The 40x growth and the $165B Americans legally bet in 2025
- Why Gen Z believes the old playbook doesn't work for them
- Gen Z 52% vs millennials 31% vs Gen X vs boomers at 1%
- Prediction markets changing the game — and Dave losing money on a LeBron bet
- Why he'd rather have just bought Bitcoin
