one of my german friends who owns *legal* weed factories in germany / switzerland always had this thesis that btc will eventually go to $300k, but everyone has to get rekt in the process first.
maybe his thesis is why these market conditions don’t affect me.
Today, Arnaldi bettors felt something no bettor should ever feel.
Arnaldi was up 7-5, 5-2. The market had already moved heavily, with closing odds around -1000, implying roughly a 91% chance of winning.
Then his opponent retired.
In tennis, retirements are not some impossible edge case. ATP retirements happen in roughly 2% of matches, and men’s Grand Slam matches have historically been even higher.
That means the rules around settlement matter.
On most platforms, that bet gets voided.
On Scorely, bettors get paid out at closing odds.
This is the difference between a platform that treats settlement as fine print and a platform that treats it as part of the product.
Fairer rules. Cleaner outcomes. Better protection for users.
Arnaldi closed around -1000.
On most platforms, Player 1 retires and your bet gets voided.
On Scorely, you get paid out at closing odds.
Better rules for bettors.
