Polymarket

I also think it's important to remember, you know, these are sort of just sports betting platforms with prediction market, like they're sports betting platforms with politics functions kind of slapped on, uh, These are a small portion of the total volume.

I mean, it's true of both Kalshi and Polymarket.

Sports is really at parlays and crypto.

These are sort of where the action is.

I think that alone is a weirdness and a really interesting wrinkle to this whole phenomenon.

Yeah, it's sort of, they were rooting for this outcome because that's what betters were forecasting.

And if they won, it would sort of help blend credence to this idea that, And Polymarket and Kalshi are good election forecasters.

But right, like you're saying, there is a potential downside to this on the regulatory side.

The Nets aren't even playing right now.

never mind that's okay so that's why i want to know if scott was here now i understand um some love for you there lante love to see people in the chat great to have you here free sauce everybody um let's jump in we've got a handful of games again we're getting you ready for friday's action uh we've got two games off here at the top that i guess the books are just cowards lante because we only have a money line here for celtics hornets the boston celtics are going to charlotte tomorrow um the celtics minus 285 on the money line right now thanks to our friends over at polymarket The spread usually correlated to that money line, six and a half or seven and a half, depending on the total.

My guess, Lante, this will be a seven and a half, given kind of what we expect from the total with these two teams that shoot a ton of threes.

As far as the injury report goes, Peyton Pritchard is questionable.

The Boston Celtics are going to Charlotte tomorrow.

The Celtics minus 285 on the money line right now, thanks to our friends over at Polymarket.

Still has a 97% chance at pulling off the win against the James Madison Dukes.

So still no line as of right this second, but make sure you're monitoring that one very closely with our friends at Polymarket.

And while we have you...

Let's see again.

Totally.

Now, that being said, J.D. Vance is now, and if you look at Polymarket and Kalshi, Rod DeSantis' odds went up 20% overnight, or 20 points overnight, because now J.D. Vance is now the heir apparent of... of Trump's agenda and his policy.

So he has to somehow survive the fake news, blaming Trump for the shutdowns, the fake news, blaming Trump for the investigations and the impeachments and blaming Trump.

JD Vance has to survive that.

Like many people who have been dismayed by the MAGA movement, I thought that, and I, you know, in the last 48 hours, I have thought that, but it's premature to jump to that conclusion yet.

I mean, I say, you know, if this was CalSheet or PolyMarket, I would say it's probably 80% likely that the MAGA movement has lost its power, and I think Donald Trump has been, you know, declawed, or whatever you want to call it, As the leader of that movement, I think Republicans are going to start distancing themselves from him.

You can see it even in J.D. Vance's statement the next day blaming the war in Iran.

He's been trying to skillfully do where he distances himself from the president.

So there was an AI thing that came out yesterday, late yesterday.

called Bron, and it was positioning itself as a, like a competitor to Kaushy and Polymarket, a predictive market platform, and they used LeBron James' name, his likeness, and his voice in this video ad they did, and the video ad ends with what you would think is LeBron James in a locker room deciding how to wager on player props, which is obviously a concern for all the platforms and all the leagues.

So I reached out to the NBA about it.

And I said, this is a bad look.

But

it's also scary because I didn't know if it was AI or not.

Like, he has a deal with Polymarket quite famously.

Yeah, yeah.
