Team picks, now on Underdog.

Big day today: we’re launching prediction markets on @Underdog in partnership with @cryptocom. From the start, our mission has been simple: make sports more fun for fans in America. Until now, Underdog’s mostly been about picking players. Our most requested feature — by far — has been teams. Now, in one seamless, easy-to-use app, you can pick teams right alongside your favorite players. This is certainly our biggest launch yet.

Come a long way in 5 years! Very humbled to have @sparkcapital supporting us on our journey. Felt destined given our logos.

@HaydenWinks Congratulations man!!

“Dontayvion” Winks is here and healthy. Mom did great. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store. Let’s make it bright.

We've got so much more to do, but we're incredibly excited to become a sports betting company! We're going to be moving incredibly quickly from here.

Really fun to go on the @JoePompliano podcast and discuss @UnderdogFantasy’s growth and future. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

🧵 You might have noticed that @UnderdogFantasy’s Pick’em fantasy contests, and similar fantasy contests, have been a topic in our industry. Encourage you to read this whitepaper with my perspective: underdogfantasy.com/legality-under…

Very excited to launch our Pick'em games in Colorado. CO is a state with a robust sports betting market and it's always been a standout state for fantasy sports. It's been great to work with the Colorado Division of Gaming to bring Pick'em to CO.

Pick'em is now open in Colorado! Update your app to play along. Let's ride 🫡

I couldn’t be more excited about Underdog. BBM IV's the largest fantasy contest ever. Our Pick’em games are wildly popular. Our new vision for sports betting comes soon. @FanDuel & @DraftKings want to take all that away from you. You should know what they’re trying to do.

@RampCapitalLLC Not sure I'm ready to share our upstate NY build publicly yet, but if you're looking for someone to share the pain, I've got a doozy for you. DM if you wanna hear about it.

This week I wrote about my painful experience of building a home during one of the worst times ever. I’ve included some lessons learned at the end for those daring to take a similar path. If you are a fan of schadenfreude, you will enjoy this. ramp.beehiiv.com/p/murphys-law

@justseels In the web2 example operators are required to protect against allowing minors to bet, among other things. I feel like if things are truly decentralized, the most at risk folks implicitly must be at risk due to the decentralization itself, no?

@justseels Is there a way to protect people in a world of full decentralization?

Had a friend asking about the "state of the crypto industry". I wrote him a massive email titled WEB3 IS THE FUTURE BRO, PLEASE BELIEVE ME BRO and these were the main thoughts...
