The obvious flaw in the enhanced game was they would never get the best of the best athletes. Not shocked world records aren’t tumbling.

Hi Arsenal haters. 😘

Whatever you think of the rest of his takes, I love that the cause of all this is just a classic betting industry CS issue. Hell hath no fury like a happy gambler who’s recently had one bad experience.

Stems from them dumping a 10j bet of mine for PGA into a thin order book, right into their Wall Street buddies, moved market from 2-9c zero effort to RFQ it just snap dumped it, lost like 4-5k on the spot. Then next day they quoted me the same basic thing (60% breakage at $1000) and I posted it here and was like fuck these guys they have no shot at winning in US sports gambling with this garbage product and leaders this condescending + no DNA at all they need to compete in sports.

This is fixed. Behind a waitlist for now. But fixed.

how is this possible Polymarket > Sinner vs Ruud final @ ATP 1,000 Masters Rome starting in 10 minutes > $538k moneyline volume and no additional markets??? no first set, no totals, no handicaps.. anyone knows other prediction markets with tennis liquidity and variety?

We’re going to talk about how wrong Polymarket was on Eurovision at some point. Bulgaria, baby. Wisdom of the crowd.

Sportsbooks have their place, but to pretend that vig, limited cashout, and penalized winners is true north is silly. There’s room for more than one model.

Idk what people are smoking, there’s not a single exchange product experience for normal people that is remotely close to the delivering the caliber of experience that regulated sportsbooks do. They are 2-3 years of development away (before regulatory touches the product at all)

Lotta comments about limits being the death of trad books. Prediction markets solve some of that, but low liquidity and new fees will have same effect there. Time for something new.

Gambling layoffs galore this week, and honestly it's been a bloodbath for the sports betting industry all year. Penn Entertainment, Gambling[dot]com Group, and Sports all had layoffs this week. PrizePicks and Underdog had layoffs a couple months ago. Story to come @FOS.

Everyone sharing that Claude in The Office clip talking about how they’re going to make new seasons of old shows.
Me: “Claude, redo this episode so they caught the killer and it was clearly him and there is no reason for a second season.”

Reporter: "To what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal?" President Trump: "Not even a little bit…I don't think about Americans' financial situations."

Yes. But complaints from angry users bashing up against bad UI are incredibly useful complaints. Call them “feedback” if you want. But I like when our users complain. Usually.
Sahil Bloom@SahilBloom
Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.
