This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

A NYC bar is doing a promo for Game 1 of Knicks-Spurs:

If NY wins, the bar picks up your tab (up to $100 per guest). If the Knicks lose, you pay your own tab. The bar putting $5k on the Knicks to win on Kalshi.

The idea is a proof of concept for hedging on prediction markets.

Next up. @SpaceX IPO. 🇺🇸🚀

[Exec Sum @exec_sum]

Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) is set for a 3,000% return on SpaceX

WashU invested $50M in SpaceX via LP commitments and co-investments with various tier 1 VCs around 2017

If SpaceX IPOs at a $1.5T valuation, WashU will exit with a $1.5B gain (gross) to boost its endowment value by 11%

WashU made headlines in 2021 after gaining 65% in the best annual performance for a university endowment ever

They have the “smartest man in baseball” running the show… they’ll be OK without Jason, that’s what they wanted. It’s what’s best for the team.🤗

[Stats @redsoxstats]

Tracy moved Abreu to 3rd in the batting order a couple of weeks ago. His OPS before and after are very similar. The only issue is he's gone from 12% of his plate appearances being with 2 outs and none on, to 29%.

[Lou Merloni @LouMerloni]

Does this say "not great"? It's 2nd in the AL. Pitching hasn't been the problem. Scoring runs has.
