"Let e make a crazy statement. People that I know in the industry think that there is a possibility. possibility that this grows bigger than the stock market." - Neal Berger Eagle View Capital
"I think this is probably a similar set of issues that we've confronted for someone who's involved in sports betting a long time, and they're serious issues, but they have to be weighed against the business model and its other benefits." - @Eggernomics

"We see it growing is well beyond sports (to) liquid insurance. If I own a ski resort and I'm going to really have a bad year if it snows less than 10 inches a year, I want to protect that."
Is there enough volume beyond sports and politics:
"Not yet"

"We see a 60% probability that (the Supreme Court) affirms the CFTC's jurisdiction over prediction matkets. Which means that there's a certain sense that this is here to stay, and public equity players in the sports betting space are investing in this business."

"We're at the beginning, the really very beginning of a hyper growth cycle for prerdiction markets as an asset class, both for retail but extending into what institutions want to be participating in as well."

The CFTC ordered Novig and ProphetX not to list certain sports event contracts they've self-certified, FOS has learned.
“It’s kind of a warning shot” to prediction markets, one source says.

EXCLUSIVE: A new study finds that political prediction market traders are not representative of all voters, but election market prices are more accurate than leading poll-based methods and not politically biased.
The study found:
✅ In its first month of listing election contracts in 2024, Kalshi's prices beat every poll-based forecast (Silver Bulletin, FiveThirtyEight, The Economist) in the national race, all seven battleground states, and 19 Senate races
✅ A trader who believed the poll-based models and traded against Kalshi's national price would have lost 92 to 100 cents per dollar.
✅ No poll-based forecast would have been profitable to trade against Kalshi in any group of presidential contests.
💰 @Kalshi's 2024 election traders were 86% male and half were under 30.
🏠 Their home zip codes voted 28% for Trump. A market that priced its traders' politics would have leaned toward Harris, not Trump. Instead, 60% of the money went to Republican positions, and Kalshi priced Trump as the favorite through the final month.
🔢 The study used data from @Kalshi in 2024, @PredictIt in 2016, and New York betting markets from 1884 to 1940.
✍️The study was authored by @HarryDCrane, Professor of Statistics at @RutgersU and member of @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee &
@KolemanStrumpf, Burchfield Presidential Chair of Political Economy, Department of Economics, @WakeForest University.

⚠️ Bill Belichick Alert ⚠️
Belichick began his coaching career with the Baltimore Colts in 1975 as a "special assistant."
The team was owned by Robert Irsay at the time.
His granddaughter, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, fired her GM today.
