@smurflegend1234 it doesn’t have to get banned to not exist

@stevengfan8 @robpizzola look forward to seeing your money on kalshi over the next few weeks
English

@ibetpal @robpizzola >3 xGOT so some hot finishing. I’m only talking about this game. Both teams basically created nothing but that’s what Japan wanted to do, hence why I’m arguing they were not poor. Netherlands were poor but that’s because they have The Landlord
English

Now that every team has played a match at the World Cup, here are my first impressions on each team:
Mexico: underwhelming
South Korea: way better than expected
Czechia: slow
South Africa: major ass
Switzerland: should have won by 7 goals
Canada: underwhelming
Bosnia and Herzegovina: set pieces very dangerous, everything else bad
Qatar: terrible
Morocco: definite dark horse, could run deep
Scotland: meh
Haiti: surprisingly competitive
Brazil: worst version of Brazil I have ever seen
USA: best version of U.S. I've seen in two decades
Turkiye: rollercoaster of a team
Australia: more competitive than i thought
Paraguay: ass
Germany: holy fuck what a destruction
Ivory Coast: slow starters, really grew into match
Ecuador: underwhelming
Curacao: rest in peace
Sweden: 5-1 a real stretch scoreline, will be overrated going forward
Netherlands: solid
Japan: solid
Tunisia: manager deserved to be fired
Belgium: underwhelming
Iran: slept through most of their match
New Zealand: slept through most of their match
Egypt: can compete with some better teams
Spain: snoozefest but will change once Yamal/Williams start
Uruguay: underwhelming for most of their match but showed some signs
Saudi Arabia: woof
Cape Verde: it's not gonna get any better than that
Norway: physical team, can cause problems
France: top end talent so good, can overcome being terrible for 2/3 of a match
Senegal: better than expected
Iraq: had some opportunities, not awful
Austria: decent
Argentina: if Algeria's goalie wasnt a dumpster, we would have concerns
Algeria: dumpster goalie
Jordan: woof
Colombia: underwhelming, gave up quality chances
DR Congo: way better than expected
Portugal: what the fuck was that
Uzbekistan: surprisingly competitive
England: powerhouse
Ghana: bad but opponent was also bad
Panama: very bad
Croatia: old af

@medica_wil @robpizzola well organised doesn't mean good and i'll just ignore the top 5 thing because obviously just not true
English

@robpizzola @ibetpal Japan is well organised and always will be, the Dutch have top 5 talent in the cup, they’re just hampered by an imbecile of a manager
English

@stevengfan8 @robpizzola lowest xG game with 3+ goals in 30 years of WC football. that's exactly how every japan game goes. they are a bad team. netherlands defense is miserable and japan created basically nothing the whole game.
English

@ibetpal @robpizzola Game was ugly but I don’t think Japan was poor. Ball went net to make it exciting but Japan got the low event game they were looking for
English

@stevengfan8 @robpizzola two things can be true. the game was awful, it just happened to have a few goals.
English

@JoeyKnish22 are you aware that other team also gets to play against england’s defense
English

@felixpatelgop @AmericanNumbers i clearly was not looking through your posts lmfao, you replied to a thread
English

@ibetpal @AmericanNumbers I am absolutely shocked that you’re here looking through my posts again when you clearly think they provide no value
Apologies for using social media to be social, test ideas and commend others doing the same

@felixpatelgop @AmericanNumbers i am absolutely shocked that you are here thinking this was a good output lmfao, elite modlolers stick together

@stevew69337850 it’s 3f from home and he was never ever outside of the horse, there were no traffic issues at all, just wanted cover for longer knowing the pace was too fast. learn ball.
English

had no skin in this race but why has marquand steered into traffic when it's begging to go outside? he makes questionable decisions in big races. was same in derby motionless on a stayer when whelan kicking on which no one mentioned. x.com/SportingLife/s…

WE ARE HIRING - IF YOU HAVE LISTENED TO A FULL EPISODE OF THE PODCAST WIHTOUT FALLING ASLEEP THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU!
# Quantitative Researcher — Sports Prediction Markets
**Remote | Worldwide | Early Career**
---
## About Us
Join a growing trading firm in the sports prediction markets space. Our process relies heavily on automated trading and in-house pricing. We trade both pre-game and in-play.
Our founding team has over a decade of experience in quantitative trading at top firms in the industry along with millions of dollars of profits from advantage play and sports betting prior to prediction markets. There are more successful sports bettors, and firms with more experience in open order book electronic trading, but very few teams have as much experience and as strong of a track record in both.
We have a chance to be one of the big winners in the prediction market space. We are ready to grow by adding exceptional members to our team.
We are public on the Kalshi leaderboard as Blackbriar. We also trade significant volume on other exchanges.
---
## The Role
We are looking for an early-career Software Engineer to join our core team. You will work directly with experienced practitioners who have built and operated profitable automated trading strategies in both traditional financial markets and prediction markets. From day one you will contribute to live systems that affect real outcomes.
Day-to-day, this is a normal asynchronous remote job. When you are deploying something that will trade live, you will need to be available during the initial go-live window (sometimes evenings or weekends).
---
## What You'll Do
- Build and maintain data pipelines, modelling infrastructure, and automated trading tools in Python
- Ingest and clean sports data across leagues and markets
- Work on the predictive models: feature engineering, evaluation, and the iteration in between
- Write and maintain the execution-side code
- Run post-trade analysis to catch performance issues, data anomalies, and edge cases
- Build systems for real-time market monitoring
- Turn the team's domain knowledge into automated trading systems
- Spot and flag model and system issues proactively, then propose and implement fixes
## What We're Looking For
**Technical**
- Strong Python: clean, readable code that you and others can maintain
- Fluent with pandas and numpy
- Some background in statistical modelling or ML, and the ability to read what your models are telling you
- Comfortable with Git and the basics of working in a shared codebase
**The kind of person who fits**
- Uses AI coding tools but interrogates their output rather than trusting it blindly
- Strong work ethic, comfortable with occasional odd working hours
- Attention to detail and the ability to make sound judgments under pressure
- Ideal candidate would be a self-starter who can make progress on projects where the path isn't obvious from the outset
- An interest in sports or betting is a plus, but not required
---
## Compensation & Logistics
- **Location:** Fully remote. We are open to candidates anywhere in the world.
- **Hours:** Async and flexible day-to-day; occasional evening/weekend availability expected when first deploying live systems
- **Compensation:** Base salary + discretionary performance bonus tied to group results
- **Experience level:** Any
---
## Why Join Us
- Direct mentorship from people who have made their careers finding edges in competitive markets
- Opportunity to quickly get your work into production and contribute to P&L
- Work on problems that are genuinely hard and interesting
- Small team with flat structure
- Clear goals and incentives
