RTFM 231: The Truth Detective: Alex O’Brien on the lessons we can learn from poker

It’s an epic episode this week, with one extra-long intro and a really special main guest. Oooh, maybe we could call it an epicsode! The brilliant Scott Longley steps in for Fintan in the intro, and it developed into quite a long chat about the state of things in the UK at the moment. We got right into the implications of taxation, the rise of the black market, and the historical context of gambling regulation. We delve into the importance of betting shops to local communities and the relationship between the racing industry and betting operators, then the challenges faced by regulators and the potential consequences of government actions on the gambling landscape. We go far and wide in this one [0:00 – 49:39]. Then we meet our special guest, the first of our author guests with a book submitted for the inaugural Gambling Book Awards. Meet Alex O’Brien, science writer and passionate poker player. Alex’s book The Truth Detective: Lessons from Poker on Risk, Reward and Imperfect Information is available from all good bookshops right now and it’s well worth a read.In this episode, Alex discusses the importance of critical thinking, the overlap between science writing and poker, and the role of women in the poker industry. Alex shares insights on parenting, teaching children critical thinking through poker, and the evolution of women's poker tournaments. The conversation also touches on misinformation, perfectionism, and the future of poker and parenting [49:40 – 1:38:32].Choice quotes:“Hey, it’s Enrico Palazzo!”"Practice makes progress, not perfect.""Poker is a game of understanding others."Alex O’Brien on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-o-brien-8876686/As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support.

First up, Fintan and Jon reveal their new thing, the Gambling Industry Journalist of the Year award that will also make its debut at ICE, and this bad boy comes with a stonking cash prize of £4000 for the winner [0:00 – 26:45].

We kick off in the usual fashion, with some blather from Fintan and Jon, and a little about the GC’s recent report on why people go to offshore operators [0:00 – 17:01].Then Jon has the pleasure of meeting Nasim Binesh, an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida, who discusses the transformative impact of AI on the gambling industry, highlighting the ethicalrisks involved.

Jon kicks off with another menage-a-un, but… is that Fintan?... No, it’s not, it’s a craptacular ‘impersonation’ [0:00 – 4:39].Then we meet Harry Milas, a magician and sleight of hand artist, who shares his unique journey from game protection to performance art. He discusses his early fascination with magic, the transition from cheating in games to creating a theatrical experience, and the cultural differences in gambling and magic across various regions. The discussion also touches on the evolution of gambling in America, the social dynamics of poker, and the importance of audience engagement in his performances [4:40 – 49:25].Harry’s show can currently be seen in London at Soho Place until October 11th 2025 – if you’re in the area, check it out.

First off, we have Jon trying to pull off an intro on his own, or as he describes it (and I think possibly feminises himself in French, because he says une. That's how that works, isn't it?), a menage a un. But it’s 2025 and we’re embracing all kinds of fluidity here on The Gambling Files, because we love absolutely everyone [0:00 – 4:08].Then we welcome back Jay Sayta, a top gambling and gaming lawyer from India with his keen eye trained on the absolute upheaval of recent weeks. Jay estimates (though not on the recording) that over 200,000 jobs have already been lost in India thanks to the very recent announcements by parliament. Absolute madness. Our conversation explores the rapid legislative changes in India regarding online gaming, highlighting the speed and secrecy of the government's actions, and we discuss the implications for the gaming industry, including the prohibition of online money games, the potential rise of offshore and crypto gambling, and the challenges of enforcing new laws. The taxation on gaming activities is also addressed, raising concerns about the viability of the market. The discussion concludes with reflections on the uncertain future of online gaming in India and ongoing legal challenges.Choice quote: "The law is unconstitutional."Jay Sayta on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-sayta-95477529/As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support.

We kick off – see what I did there? – the new episode by greeting the return of our hero, Fintan Costello, to these shores. Some say his return is what inspired Christopher Nolan to make his new epic ‘The Odyssey’ because he’s a fan; I can’t speak for that nice Mr Nolan but let’s just say it’s possible. We discuss the newly-announced Gambling Book Awards (www.gamblingbookawards.com), talk a bit about sponsors, and many other things [0:00 – 13:25].Then we meet guest Sam Zerfoss, VP of Customer Success for the Americas, at Optimove. His appearance is in no way connected to that company’s financial support as our corporate overlords, by the way.Anyway, we talk about the upcoming NFL season and its significance for sportsbooks and operators in the US and elsewhere. We get in to market trends, the evolution of bonuses and promotions, and the importance of personalisation in engaging customers. We explore the role of data in sports betting, the challenges of retaining fickle fans, and the cultural impact of sports and betting in the U.S. The episode concludes with insights into the future of sports betting and upcoming events in the industry [13:26 – 59:10].Choice quotes: "This is the most tingly moment.""It's a big week.""Personalization never hurts."Sam Zerfoss on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-zerfoss/As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support.

This episode, we kick off with a chat between Jon and interim stand-in co-host Melanie Ellis, who claims she is neither a doctor nor a professor. Who knew??? We get into personal experiences with mental health, the implications of blind boxes and loot boxes in retail, and the importance of live dealers in casinos. The conversation also touches on the role of casinos in local communities and the evolving nature of player engagement in the gambling industry [0:00 – 30:50].Then we meet superstar returning guest Richard Marcus, who could also be a professor. It’s hard to say for certain, but he has a certain professorial elegance about him. We discuss the future of table games in casinos, particularly in light of the recent trend towards automation. Richard shares his concerns about the loss of human interaction and the potential negative impact on the casino experience, and we touch on the economic implications of automated games, the role of dealers in player protection, and the broader social consequences of reducing skilled jobs in the industry. Marcus emphasizes the need to preserve traditional table games while adapting to technological advancements [30:51 – 1:37:32].Choice quotes: "It's not a great idea.""Humans are social animals.""Loneliness is a big deal."Richard Marcus on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardmarcusgameprotection/As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support.

We kick off with a chat between Jon and current interim stand-in host Melanie Ellis [0:00 – 21:08] which takes in lots of things: tax, sponsors, and the glow of a cow to name just a few.Then we meet episode guest Ofer Friedman, Chief Business Development Officer at AU10TIX. We discuss the evolving landscape of identity verification, particularly in the context of gambling and the rise of deepfakes; the challenges posed by organized fraud, the importance of regulatory compliance, and the future of digital identities. The discussion also touches on the need for better user experience in verification processes and the role of technology in combating fraud. And Ofer answers a key question for the industry, authentication and fakes: what if someone has an evil twin?
