Added 1,000 subs in a month to The Event Horizon, which is pretty insane considering it took a year for the first 2K. Thanks to everyone who reads and shares, and to the haters, of which there are many. Special shoutout to @dhtoomey and @goodworkmb for helping people find me.

"... the exchanges generally lack the infrastructure to provide the reliable electronic records the financial firms need, which makes effective monitoring difficult and raises noncompliance risks, the person said."
Bloomberg@business

Point72 and Balyasny have recently banned employees from trading on prediction markets in their personal accounts, according to people familiar with the matter bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Kalshi intra-day volume for today is already past $400 million, with more March Madness games still to come. There was almost $50 million on Duke-Siena.

I've been breaking my rule of arguing with people on twitter today. We start over tomorrow remembering there's no point to arguing here.

@PlusEVAnalytics That’s not what this marketing is doing? Look I am an idiot but I did affiliate marketing for quite awhile.

@DustinGouker Page 1 of the gambling marketing playbook is convincing sports fans who engage in fake gambling (fantasy sports, brackets, etc) to step up to the real thing

@PlusEVAnalytics The reason most normies follow the tournament is because of brackets? There are plenty of ways to market it that doesn’t make it feel like you are an alien pretending to be an earthling

@DustinGouker What's wrong with it? They're saying to bet the games instead of just filling out a bracket like a child.

Update: A new source tells me the MLB-Polymarket deal is worth $300 million over four years, not three. Hard to know the exact terms unless you're privy to the documents, but clearly @FOS is in the ballpark. Story from earlier today ICYMI: frontofficesports.com/mlb-makes-mult…

@jesswelman Look I think people should be able to gamble if they want but pretending like it’s no different from other forms of entertainment is wild!

@DustinGouker "fun consumption good" is a great euphemism I will be using again in the future. "Why would you call it gambling? It's a fun consumption good."

We are to the stage of prediction markets where it’s like going to the movies! DraftKings CEO said this 10 years ago about daily fantasy! Time is a flat circle. Also gambling is not the same as going to the movies.
Benn Eifert 🥷🏴‍☠️@bennpeifert

This is all getting so much hate. idk, take your moralizing elsewhere. Betting a little money on March Madness is a fun consumption good, it's literally no different than going out and spending money on movies or vodka tonics. Literally no one thinks they're going to get rich.

@bennpeifert Most of the problem lies with Kalshi insisting it isn’t gambling, chief
