@roundrobin42 @DanPickz2 Nasty. I hope you took some out.

@Josh58724451 @ZlatniTopki Men’s tennis has been in the doldrums for a long time. It’s instructive to look at how many over 30s were in the top 50 over the past couple decades. Fed, nadal, Djoko obviously but their whole class dominated the next 2 gens. Fingers crossed sincaraz are starting another cycle.

@DavidHa04461705 @minopapi1 Well duh. I just answered that exact point. And Djokovic still being competitive is the evidence of just how incredibly bad the last couple of generations were. (As was the longevity of crocked nadal, fed himself and many others from that era outlasting the younger guys)

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@DavidHa04461705 @minopapi1 All that’s“supreme proof” of is relative improvement. They can both decline and have that happen (and did)

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@7getrich_griff @kareemcopeland That’s cleaner?! Jesus, how bad was it before?

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@DustinGouker I’m also certain it’s not one.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@UDKCAJ @cyber_razz And if/when it can’t?

And how are you going to measure that? Ask the AI?

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@0xMagicMaker @DustinGouker Sports insurance isn’t new. PMs do provide a legitimate venue for the insurers to lay off the risk. I’d expect books want that action too, free vig given it’s not a sharp bet - but maybe they’re restricted legally.

Doubt many leagues are ok with it, even as insurance.

@lfcphl @newstart_2024 He's 35. The younger generations are different.

@_smitop @NathanBomey Do you have a source that these are the precise metrics they requested? From what I can see, Kalshi made the choice.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@_smitop @NathanBomey That’s interesting. Who prompted the law makers I wonder? Because those are exactly the metrics that give cover while being useless.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@NathanBomey Average for the age, median for the deposit. What an interesting choice.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@NathanBomey Ugh. That sounds like there’s a serious problem they’re covering up, because “median deposit” is an incredibly shifty metric to use.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@matthewdmarsden Apparently it is reading the comments. Insane.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@matthewdmarsden This surely cannot be controversial?

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@Hazel_qs What? She’s serious, he isn’t.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@AbnormallyDist It’s kind of funny that most of the genuine use cases for kalshi hedging are not actually allowed.

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@CSP_Trading It’s so bizarre. They may very well be baking in kalshis first mover advantage. And it should have been so easy too…they’re already making all these lines. Just put them on the damn PM!

[Sisyphus @Random501901]

@DamiDefi VC at this level has mostly abandoned fundamentals. The game is to turn a profit, and they’ve figured out how to do that almost entirely with narrative. Even the later funding rounds these days come across as carefully calculated marketing spend.
