Welcome back to the final World Series of Politics of 2024! We’ve had some laughs, spilled a few tears, and it’s time to gather round the wireless, celebrate 2024’s wins and look ahead to 2025.
It’s a packed final show, kicking off with the big win of 2024. Yes, Washington, D.C. finally has a competitive sports betting market, and revenue is around 15x higher than it was under the previous single-operator model.
However last week’s congressional hearing on sports betting was arguably one of the low points of the year. Before it became truly surreal - apparently Amazon now sells spines, who knew? - it was beset by witnesses peddling outdated misconceptions to prop up their anti-prop bet argument.
And next we move onto predictions, where Brendan Bussmann and Brandt Iden pit their wits against one another with a friendly bet on what happens in the 2025 legislative session.
It’s everyone’s favourite spectacle and throughout the World Series of Politics’ run ultimately translates to Brendan Bussmann buying Brandt Iden a case of Paul Hobbs pinot.
Could this finally be Brendan’s year?
