For any sporting event contract, you're always better trading through MagicMarkets than Poly or Kalshi directly. 100% of the time.

@StanUsmnt Anybody who has played football knows this is a straight red - this view just makes it even clearer. Whether you’re moving forwards or sideways is irrelevant, it’s about the contact on the ankle. Correct decision.

Nailed it!! This view is exactly why it’s not a red. You can’t commit a red when you are going sideways and someone cuts you off from behind and your foot accidentally lands on his. Pic of rolled ankle can’t always = red. Context has to matter.

@therick824 @JasonTheHH @erikthesmith Rules in hockey differ between leagues, and you would need typically multiple stick infractions, or checking from behind calls - but yes. Exact same principle. If you kick somebody with a skate that’s considered far more serious than other penalties and you can miss games.

@0xMagicMaker @JasonTheHH @erikthesmith Does a high stick penalty result in an automatic one game suspension?

Non-football fan: This targeting rule is stupid! Football fan: I know, right?!? = = = Non-soccer fan: This “extra time” is completely nonsensical. Just stop the clock during the game. Soccer fan: HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE MOST POPULAR SPORT ON EARTH!!!!

@therick824 @JasonTheHH @erikthesmith To protect player safety. Same reason high stick in the NHL is punished whether accidental or not. Certain categories of contact are more dangerous, regardless of intent.

@JasonTheHH @PeregrineT49351 @erikthesmith I know what the rules are, thank you. None of the explains why…I can go read a rule book if that’s all you’re giving me. Like I said…religious doctrine

@nursexxl This is called courtsiding and can work if you can pre-empt game events on real time (a tennis lob heading long), but an OTA antenna isn’t going to give you an edge against market makers and delayed taker fills.

Became World Cup insider trader in one day: > connect an OTA antenna at home > go to FOX broadcast to the lowest latency > open Polymarket match page > watch game in live stream with zero lag > goals, red cards, penalties, corner kicks, offside > you see it 10 sec before the market > buy YES before the odds catch up > sell once everyone else sees it The math is you already know the outcome when the odds lagged Why do people still not doing this?

@LeoAdberg Let’s add intent to red cards and offsides. Did they intend to be offside?

TL is full of otherwise intelligent people who can't seem to get that there *has* to be a hard cutoff for offsides. Adding 1ft doesn't make it more flexible, using center of mass doesn't change anything, adding arbitrary wiggle room just makes things worse...

@GMGoBetting @Novig If you’re outside the US - we’re the Novig for the rest of the world.

Long Post Warning - with math ⚠️ As I wallow in sorrow about the [temporary] loss of @Novig in my state, I thought it would be interesting to simulate some math in order to show WHY Novig is so important to me, and should be important to you... Last week a very nice gentleman left a comment under one of my posts saying I should change my name from GMG to ASS - (always shilling something.) Clever, but imo encouraging people to use things with clear and obvious value is far from "shilling", even if I am associated with the brand... I digress.. Today on my video, I had 12 official plays. I tracked the odds at the best rec book (FD, DK, HR, etc.) vs the odds at Novig. Although I am not betting $100 on these, I used that as a "standard" unit. I then added the rec profit vs Novig profit should the wager win. On average, Novig is going to pay out $6 more per $100 wager across my 12 picks today... "Okay, whoopdedoo GMG, I wipe with $6 bills." Zoom out. Let's assume every day this month you and I both place the same 12 main lines at $100 each. I take them at recs, you take them at Novig. For easy math, let's say we win 50% each day - over the long run that's pretty realistic... Assuming I lose $6 in value per wager, and we win 6 wagers each day, I am losing out on $36 by not using Novig. If we do this every day for a month, that's over $1,000 (or 10 units...) lost by simply not getting the best price. If you're a $10 bettor - that's $100 a month (still 10u) I get this is convenient, round math. I get that this isn't how things always go - but the value Novig brings to users is undeniable. For main lines, they offer the best price over 90% of the time. And soon they will be live in all 50 states. My content is aimed at recreational bettors. But being a recreational bettor isn't an excuse for bending it over, pulling your jorts down, and letting the books spank your bare buns. Once Novig does go live in all 50 states, it would be great if you used my code (GMGO) when you sign up. But if you think I'm "ASS", you can skip that part. Regardless, I think it's pretty clear having Novig at your disposable is valuable.

@TheSpongeImp @BFNoles @GainzMajor Gotcha. They trialled it in Canada to a mixed reception and inconclusive outcome, but none of the major European leagues are considering trials and many have simply stated that they aren’t and won’t be looking at it.

@0xMagicMaker @BFNoles @GainzMajor Thats what I mean. I dont know if it does have support or not but using your own tweets as a reference dosent really show anything

If they called offside in soccer like they do hockey, where if any part of your body is onside, then you’re onside, instead of the opposite, I think it would make soccer infinitely more watchable and enjoyable.

@BuildHimAStatue At any speed, this tackle will result in a sending off. Slow-motion just confirms the contact and force. It’s the correct decision.

@TheSpongeImp @BFNoles @GainzMajor I love Arsene, deeply. But this isn’t an idea that’s going to move forward, offsides are to help teams press and hold a high line. Removing them counterintuitively makes the game more defensive. It hasn’t received the support needed to be considered x.com/0xMagicMaker/s…

@0xMagicMaker @BFNoles @GainzMajor From yourself?

@TheSpongeImp @BFNoles @GainzMajor It has no support though. x.com/0xMagicMaker/s…

@BFNoles @GainzMajor Theres actually proposals to do that in soccer. Arsen Wenger is calling for this very change

@BFNoles @MalGee__ @TheDeuce Here’s the actual answer: x.com/0xMagicMaker/s…

@MalGee__ @TheDeuce Add to the convo or get fucked with your 1 follower

@BFNoles It wouldn’t. Teams wouldn’t be able to play an aggressive high line and you would get even more low blocks and direct play.

@FfcStone29 @GrantPaulsen Got a clip?

@0xMagicMaker @GrantPaulsen So what about Messi’s?

I defer to you. I’ll assume you’re right. I can’t stress this enough: if that foul was worth playing 11 on 10 for a third of a game and losing your best player for the next game — I just can’t get all that into the sport. That’s beyond ridiculous.

@FfcStone29 @GrantPaulsen Stamping on a foot is painful but not the same category of contact. Straight reds for dangerous tackles are typically forceful, into an ankle or lower shin, especially on a planted leg or from behind. Balogun’s challenge is a stonewall example of this.

@0xMagicMaker @GrantPaulsen If it’s so dangerous why was nothing called on Messi for stamping on someone in the opening game? Last night in the Colombia game it wasn’t called. If it’s that dangerous it should be consistent.

@FfcStone29 @GrantPaulsen This was a dangerous foul and needs to be upheld to protect player safety, which is why it was introduced - after career ending incidents. Two players have had the same sending off for covering their faces while speaking. I would agree more on questioning that.

@0xMagicMaker @GrantPaulsen And his point is still accurate. You may be right it was the correct call. But it’s the kind of call being correct that will turn many people away from the sport. VAR has been a mess all season just looking how Arsenal won the prem. Football does have a problem right now.

@Chris_M_Cousins These engagement bait posts are unrivalled. American flag in name. Hilariously bad football take. 40 likes, 204 angry replies 😂

Unpopular opinion, but I actually like the hydration breaks. I honestly think football might be better if it was split into quarters rather than halves. The game has changed so much physically now. The speed, intensity, pressing, transitions and distance covered are ridiculous compared to years ago. Knowing there’s a break coming up could actually encourage teams to keep the tempo high instead of managing energy for 45 minutes at a time. It gives players a chance to reset, coaches a chance to make quick adjustments, and fans probably get a better spectacle because the intensity stays higher for longer. I know people will say it breaks up the flow, and I get that, but football already has stoppages, VAR delays, injuries and time-wasting. At least hydration breaks serve a purpose. Maybe quarters are the future. Or maybe I’ve just watched too much American sport.

@j__fort “Results in a better product” is an americanisation and may not even be true. In fact the main fear is that this leads to low block rather than currently possible high line aggressive defending. And the verdict is still out on this.

This is the simplest solution to the ridiculous offside rule that annoys so many new fans. Yes, there’d still be the same number of edge cases, but it would be in the offense’s favor and result in a better product. Similar energy as “tie goes to the runner” rule.

@DataUnmaskd @MarkGoldfeder @FIFAcom @balogun @USMNT Yep. Go watch it again. Definitely late and a free kick, but not a yellow.

@0xMagicMaker @MarkGoldfeder @FIFAcom @balogun @USMNT Probably thought no card on Messi wasn’t contentious either you giant nut sucker

Dear @FIFAcom The red card against @balogun was wrong, but so are the people who think your rules cannot be challenged. IF a lawyer were to appeal it on behalf of @USMNT, these are three routes available. Let me explain:

@Payne_1337 @GomuCrypto_eth @Polymarket Better option. No taker or maker fees. The price you take off the book is what you get. x.com/0xMagicMaker/s…

@GomuCrypto_eth @Polymarket Either pay the fees or wait for hours

Polymarket removed the 0.25 tick size from World Cup markets? So now we’re back to either paying fees again or waiting half a day hoping your limit order maybe gets filled 😭

@Sakaextra2 @VilretM No it’s not.

@VilretM It’s really hard

Dennis Bergkamp, Robin van Persie, and Jurrien Timber excluded, guess a Dutch player that played for Arsenal. Level: very hard. No cheating!
