Systemic insider risk occurs when low-probability bets consistently succeed across related markets.
This pattern suggests underlying information advantages not reflected in market prices.
It points to a systemic issue rather than isolated incidents of luck or mispricing.
Such risks are particularly evident in markets susceptible to insider knowledge.
Recent legal actions against athletes highlight the practical dangers of these markets.

Saying insider manipulation in specific betting markets is just an "item of" systemic insider risk feels like we're still chasing a losing idea. If we hadn't already put so much sunk time into connecting them, would we still think they're directly linked like that? What if the manipulation in a sports bet was just one bad apple exploiting a unique loophole, like a referee fixing a single game, not some wider market problem? It’s not automatically systemic everywhere just because one person got caught.
