Was considering writing my own post announcing my next role as VP of Revenue @gambly but no way it would have been better than this

Really bullish about the number of unique ways we can leverage the incredible tech being built to partner with creators, media companies and operators. If interested don't hesitate to reach out.

[Jonathan Bales @BalesBets]

So excited for @gambly to bring on @JayShapRocky as our VP of Revenue.

Jason has been a Gambly user since inception and actually came onto our radar because he was sending @CalSpears all kinds of useful early user feedback.

One of the first employees (and eventual President) at Betcha, Jason is most importantly a great guy and *exceedingly* knowledgeable in the sports betting space.

We knew we had to bring him on despite our team of full-time employees now inexplicably being FIFTY PERCENT Jasons.

[Zain Dhanani @DhananiZain]

Some interesting data points via @gambly - not the perfect way to evaluate fantasy football, but data points:

McLaurin clearly higher Rec Yard prop

Diggs tied with Rome and above Jayden Reed

Rome's ADP is in the 60s
Mclaurin's is in the late 40s early 50s
Diggs lands in the 80s or 90s (per my ADP model)

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

Providing infrastructure enabling creators to do what they do best is one of our core principles at @gambly. Been a fun project working in tandem with @RunPureSports to bring their betting process and models to life with the new RunPureBets site

[Run Pure Sports @RunPureSports]

Run Pure Sports added Run Pure Bets powered by @gambly this weekend!

@JBC69 and his team will get you locked in on the best bets of the day plus you get to use the most powerful tool in the sports betting space in Gambly.

I will add a link in the comments

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

A lot of the updates to @gambly you'll see this season will tap into the incredible real time data moat we have around what users are betting on in real time and how we then personalize it based on a users betting preferences

Data + personalization = the future of shopping

@colejaczko yeah but what about creating shareholder value????

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

This is a sick role and we need a dynamic person to fill it

[Jonathan Bales @BalesBets]

Looking for a product marketing crusher to help grow @Gambly. Specifically:

- Product launch hype content
- Short-form video
- Social media
- Email marketing
- AI-focused SEO

Should be highly creative, self-directed, AI-native, and passionate about sports betting.

Not looking for someone corporate; you should move fast and figure out what works, helping to bring products to market, position them, and drive ongoing adoption.

If interested, shoot me a DM explaining why you'd be the person to hire. Strong preference to those with knowledge of Gambly and how we could improve.

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

@HaydenWinks 2v2s at their positions
Rather have Burden + Kincaid/Kelce than Loveland + Jalen Coker/Shakir

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

Shoutout to @adamlevitan , @evansilva and the ETR crew for using @gambly as God intended during their NFL Draft show.

By far the best way to seamlessly browse odds across books (check out the draft page here: https://t.co/t1dyN6CNvt)

[Adam Levitan @adamlevitan]

New show up. I talked to @evansilva & @amicsta about one of the greatest remaining betting markets: NFL Draft Props.

Hit on 20+ markets, including:
* Odds to go 2nd
* Carnell Tate vs. Jordyn Tyson
* Longer shots to go Round 1
* Jeremiah Love landing spot
* Bears position of first pick
* Caleb Downs o/u
* Tons more

Not saying its crushing, but worth considering if that's the best or most relevant metric to evaluate success in todays age. Barstool does their best work via digital, and a lot of the engagement with Wake Up comes through clipping the top moments and distributing on social via their personalities and owned handles. Through that lens they likely generate hundreds of thousands if not millions of unique impressions/engagements per episode and I would imagine how it stacks up to those shows when factoring that in looks very very different

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

Think I actually enjoyed drafting MLB more than NFL this year. Drafts are less rigid, ADP less dialed/important.

@FernMurias this guy knows ball

[Jonathan Bales @BalesBets]

Big news, at least in my world: my company @Gambly is merging with @UnabatedSports.

Together, we’ll be able to serve the entire spectrum of sports bettors, from casual to pro.

Some details…

[Cal Spears @CalSpears]

It's official! Gambly and Unabated are one. Excited to build alongside some of the best in the business. Most importantly - we are hiring, especially AI-first engineers. Come join the rocketship. Thanks @jeffedelstein for the article. Look for a @BettingStartups pod dropping soon.

[signüll @signulll]

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

didn’t have any Derrick Henry, naturally (wasn’t even fading him in this contest)

[Jason Shapiro @JayShapRocky]

Drafted 34 @TheBadgeBros teams and felt confident it was the format with the most available edge all summer.

6 for 6 clean sweep in the semis, let’s put that theory to the test in Week 17 @NEZtakes @Roto_Run
