"Flutter’s fortunes can of course change. A series of court battles over the legality of prediction markets seems likely to reach the US Supreme Court at some point and could tilt the odds back in bookmakers’ favour. In the meantime, though, the company is a reminder that for foreign listing hopefuls, New York is a city that’s enticing in good times but unforgiving in hard times"

Feels like the market is missing this point. DKNG is positioned be the preeminent sports book with or without prediction markets
DraftKings CEO Jason Robins says the company is in a “win-win spot,” unlike most prediction markets or sportsbooks, where it should succeed regardless of how the Supreme Court views sports event contracts.
“If [sports contracts are] the whole business, which for us it is not, then that's obviously critical. There's nothing to look out to if the entire sports business is gone,” Robins said.
“On the other side, if you haven't done what we've done and invested and put ourselves in a position where we're meeting players in predictions now, then if a court decision goes the positive way, then that's a pretty tough spot to be in.

I had no idea @RalstonReports was writing this. I’m grateful to Jon for bringing into the Indy, which allowed me to work with an amazing team of journalists.
I’ve got a few more stories left before I put a -30- on the career.
Thanks, old friend.

Wild times
First time being sued. With a bunch of claims like “fraud”, “scheme”, “conspiracy”, etc. Apparently the Aristotle folks are unhappy with the money they’re making from the sale of their licenses, even though they will end up making more than anyone else in our sale to IG. They’re trying to extract more. They told me as much when I called to tell them about our deal and how it was going to get them the liquidity they were so desperately seeking. They said give us some more or we won’t sign. They thought they had leverage and they could hold up the deal to get more for themselves. They didn’t and they still don’t. They’re going to rack up a bunch of legal fees, create noise, but otherwise accomplish nothing. The deal will proceed and I have no doubt they will lose in court if they decide to take it that far. It’s a bummer there are people out there who do things like this.

we talked about predicting rotten tomatoes scores, susquehanna, how awesome Notion is, foreign elections, cargo ships and so much more. always so fun chatting with @johncoogan and @jordihays!
Hedge funds are trying and failing to hire prediction market sharps.
"We are just getting crushed by these sharps," said Susquehanna's Jeff Yass.
@iscoe tells the story of a guy who's made 7 figures trading Rotten Tomatoes betting markets, and rejected an offer from SIG:
"He said, 'Not only am I just making a killing, but I can do things that a big institutional fund can't do.'"
"He's a Rotten Tomatoes trader. He trades how a film's going to do on Rotten Tomatoes. He's made 7 figures, easily. He's building models, scraping websites, and he's doing things that SIG, through their corporate policies, maybe wouldn't allow."
"And he asked in the interview, 'Could I do this technique?' And they said, 'Yeah, probably not.'"
"And this guy, he self-describes as a 'dips**t from the Midwest.' He's like, 'I didn't go to an Ivy League school, and I'm able to outcompete Wall Street with a $600 Lenovo laptop.'"
From his appearance on the show last month.

When I was thinking about doing a SPAC to go public, I was told: "Don't do it, you won't raise a PIPE, and SPACs get on average 95% redemptions, and you will IPO with no cash". We raised an oversubscribed $225M PIPE, the largest of any operating business for a SPAC since 2021, and yesterday we had less than 30% redemptions, so we are going public with over $400M on July 2nd at the NYSE. The next stage in Securitize history starts that day.
