🌍🇺🇿 Really interesting work from data analyst Bob Yakubov on the hidden burdens teams may face at the @FIFAWorldCup

I have probably spent far too long going down the #FIFAWorldCup ticket prices rabbit hole, but sorting by cheapest match does feel like a decent proxy for support to me (https://t.co/RYTPWeceO8)

Four suspected insiders made $663K betting on a US–Iran ceasefire by April 7.
Most of these wallets:
• Were newly created and funded on April 7
• Bought "YES" just hours before the ceasefire
• Had no prior activity — only bet on this event
• Entered at very low odds: 3.9%, 10.3%, 6.7%, and 2.9%

X Pro is a great tool, but it isn't worth a roughly 400% price increase (to $40/mo) to keep using it. Since X Pro was the only thing keeping me on a paid subscription, it's great motivation to unsubscribe. Solid move, @elonmusk!
On Jan 12, FIFA named Stats Perform (@OptaSTATS) its exclusive betting data distributor.
8 days later, @FBref was ordered to scrub a decade of stats to kill the free "competition."
This is not coincidental.

FBref & Stathead Data Update | FBref is losing access to Opta data. That’s going to be a major bummer for people https://t.co/IaBFglloP0 https://t.co/eD8cAPXDVI
Of all the hundreds and hundreds of years in which you could possibly have been born, and you’re around at the same time as the A-League. Simply inconceivable luck.
