PrizePicks Packs and Underdog Rips are scarily close to just slot machine gambling... But I am curious... if you could open these virtual packs backed by real cards and then have them stored somewhere... 1) Would that place be a "bank" 2) Could you trade the card's value on a prediction market or could this be considered a collectible perpetuals market on Kalshi 3) Would there be legitimate +EV opportunities to buy cards and hold them either via packs or through some sort of online marketplace? The third is a legit question. The first two are kinda for fun. The biggest reason I've never invested in sports cards is because I don't want to worry about handling and storing them.

Someone should make a version of Rips / Packs where you open some sort of digital sports cards that are, say, non-fungible and then you can like sell it or maybe even use it for paid fantasy contests or something

How should you build your NFL DFS lineups for week 7? Start with this and figure out the rest... You're welcome

Wide Receiver I highlight in this week’s cash article that there are a nice mix of value options at wide receiver this week, which positions premier receivers as more feasible to fit into lineups. Couldn’t be clearer with Puka Nacua finding his way into nearly every lineup.

Tight End Not a ton of price differentiation at tight end this week, but Isaiah Likely is the best option among the pack. He has 25 targets in the last two games with Jameis Winston at the helm.

I used the @4for4football DFS projections for Sunday’s main slate and built 10,000 optimized lineups for cash games, with no other lineup rules implemented. Here is a look at who pops in the optimizations by position.

Running Back My lock of this week for cash games is Allgeier, who shows up in 62.3% of lineups.

Quarterback Josh Allen is the clear winner. There are a plethora of low-salary quarterbacks in consideration this week but interestingly none of them show up in more than 2.5% of lineups.

Have been seeing a good conversation sparked by @PlusEV regarding which books / exchanges are the sharpest to use to top-down bet with in the modern ecosystem with so much liquidity on exchanges… Thought it was as good of a time as any to resurrect this absolute banger. Forget the Upside Tools study with millions of data points… I plan to de-vig from this guy’s ball knowledge to price sports markets.

Can someone ask the Duke math majors if they're worried OpenAI is going to take their jobs?
