Summary

We‚Äôre bringing you an episode of Against the Rules with author Michael Lewis (The Big Short, Moneyball). This season, Michael is examining the rise of sports betting in the U.S. This episode is exploring a role in sports betting which has many names: ‚ÄúRunner,‚Äù ‚Äúmover,‚Äù ‚Äúbetting partner,‚Äù and ‚Äúmule.‚Äù As skilled sports gamblers find themselves limited on apps, they turn to these affiliates to place their bets in return for a piece of the proceeds. Against the Rules decides to explore this murky world by signing up for mule-dom with one of the world‚Äôs most skilled sports bettors.
