This week, we are locked in and ‘on the edge’ of our seats ten days out from the US election with poker player, statistician, author and podcaster Nate Silver.
Nate joins David and Dara to discuss his new book ‘On The Edge: The Art Of Risking Everything’, his newish podcast ‘Risky Business’ and the upcoming election, in particular the betting markets around it.
In a wide-ranging conversation, the lads delve into the world of probabilistic thinking, subjective value, marginal utility, game theory and risk.
There’s some poker chat too but this episode keeps coming back to the election as Nate gives his analysis and explains why win or lose, the nomination of Kamala Harris was the correct decision for the Democrats.
