@Economicopoly@real_dublindamo Thats fair with re politics,but in sport I just dont think the people are there.All these guys have years of media training before coming pundits compared to previous so thats now the way they genuinely think.Outside of Duff/Gara im struggling,Parkinson in GAA would be one other
@Economicopoly@real_dublindamo Insightful,combative, will put out an opinion and not care what anyone thinks of it.Just that have gone into coaching rather than punditry. Duff probably will do a bit during the WC and be good,but you need to be at regularly to put up a chemsitry with the viewers/panel.
@Economicopoly@real_dublindamo The problem is they are just not as charmastic and dont have the chemistry that the old panel had therefore not as entertaining. Thats very hard to recreate, to get those type of characters. Damien Duff and Ronan O Gara would be two pundits that really would fit the old RTE style
@Economicopoly@real_dublindamo Dunphy while often saying things to specifically to provoke a reaction I do think really would believe the things he said therefore he was more authentic.
@Economicopoly@real_dublindamo I have no issue with contrarian views and good to have someone with different views to help drive that discussion but they really have to believe their arguement, and it to be logical, often with brolly it wasn't, therefore not entertaining
@irish_election Public use AI is still hopelessly bad at predictions, its often bring in wrong or completely out of date data, or interprets it badly. Ask it to assign a pc chance to something and it will just repeat polymarkets odds to you, with no insight.
@FinlayColm There is this one million figure being bandied around when it's more likely around 50-60k being betted on this election on Polymarket. The rest is just bots selling the same position over and back to farm liquidity and volume rewards
@ChrisWh08370492 You get strange semi final results, like knowing what we know now that we didnt know on Thursday you probably give it a 3-4/1 shot of having won that semi final i think personally.
@Reality_Tim@paucazorla Polymarket still open. Even had a little dip for australia to 5/4 for jury winner as market overreacts to some random tweets from people who probably dont even have a stream to the Jury show.
