Big day today: we’re launching prediction markets on @Underdog in partnership with @cryptocom.
From the start, our mission has been simple: make sports more fun for fans in America. Until now, Underdog’s mostly been about picking players. Our most requested feature — by far — has been teams.
Now, in one seamless, easy-to-use app, you can pick teams right alongside your favorite players. This is certainly our biggest launch yet.
🧵 You might have noticed that @UnderdogFantasy’s Pick’em fantasy contests, and similar fantasy contests, have been a topic in our industry. Encourage you to read this whitepaper with my perspective: https://t.co/QCZtOhuyaE
Very excited to launch our Pick'em games in Colorado. CO is a state with a robust sports betting market and it's always been a standout state for fantasy sports. It's been great to work with the Colorado Division of Gaming to bring Pick'em to CO.
I couldn’t be more excited about Underdog. BBM IV's the largest fantasy contest ever. Our Pick’em games are wildly popular. Our new vision for sports betting comes soon.
@FanDuel & @DraftKings want to take all that away from you. You should know what they’re trying to do.
3 years ago today we launched Underdog with Best Ball Mania I
Since then, you all have drafted over 5,000,000 teams
Thank you all so much for playing with us 🐶💛
After endless researching, filming, and editing, we are proud to announce the launch of our newest channel, Underdog Originals, created and hosted by our own @PaddyCotter 🙌
The first episode airs today, covering the Brett Favre welfare scheme.

@RampCapitalLLC Not sure I'm ready to share our upstate NY build publicly yet, but if you're looking for someone to share the pain, I've got a doozy for you. DM if you wanna hear about it.
@justseels In the web2 example operators are required to protect against allowing minors to bet, among other things. I feel like if things are truly decentralized, the most at risk folks implicitly must be at risk due to the decentralization itself, no?
