The CFTC ordered Novig and ProphetX not to list certain sports event contracts they've self-certified, FOS has learned. “It’s kind of a warning shot” to prediction markets, one source says. frontofficesports.com/articl…

EXCLUSIVE: A new study finds that political prediction market traders are not representative of all voters, but election market prices are more accurate than leading poll-based methods and not politically biased. The study found: ✅ In its first month of listing election contracts in 2024, Kalshi's prices beat every poll-based forecast (Silver Bulletin, FiveThirtyEight, The Economist) in the national race, all seven battleground states, and 19 Senate races ✅ A trader who believed the poll-based models and traded against Kalshi's national price would have lost 92 to 100 cents per dollar. ✅ No poll-based forecast would have been profitable to trade against Kalshi in any group of presidential contests. 💰 @Kalshi's 2024 election traders were 86% male and half were under 30. 🏠 Their home zip codes voted 28% for Trump. A market that priced its traders' politics would have leaned toward Harris, not Trump. Instead, 60% of the money went to Republican positions, and Kalshi priced Trump as the favorite through the final month. 🔢 The study used data from @Kalshi in 2024, @PredictIt in 2016, and New York betting markets from 1884 to 1940. ✍️The study was authored by @HarryDCrane, Professor of Statistics at @RutgersU and member of @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee & @KolemanStrumpf, Burchfield Presidential Chair of Political Economy, Department of Economics, @WakeForest University.

Underdog was sold to a UK conglomerate in July ... but why let facts get in the way of a bullshit narrative against @AdamSchefter or anyone else "Boom," meanwhile, is a sweepstakes/DFS site. It is not licensed anywhere in the United States to take sports bets. All of its NFL markets are basically single game player props. There were none listed for Hurts this week because he was not going to play. And house rules require them to refund all bets if the person never plays. No possible financial gain for any alleged or inferred manipulation concerning Hurts Some of us remain tethered to facts on this platform. And we've been immersed in avoid libel suits for our entire careers.
8 hours apart from Adam Schefter. This is becoming super common now and I’m simply asking you to question why that is. In other news, Adam Schefter owns two sports betting apps - Boom and Underdog.

Never Forget Major League Baseball moved the All-Star Game out of Atlanta after Georgia passed its voter integrity law in 2021 Everyone in sports media blindingly cheered the move because "RaCisM 🤪" Well, yesterday, Georgia set a single-day record for early voting. It was all a lie driven by narrative and hysteria. Yet no one in the media or at MLB will ever be held to account. wabe.org/georgia-voters-smas…

Prediction Markets began in the 1800s as a weather hedge for farmers who could not get crop insurance This goes directly to their roots As a Florida homeowner, this give me a real opportunity to offset my ridiculous hurricane deductible If anything, this brings competition for the insurance companies
Betting on natural disasters — or hedging property damage risks? Kalshi has self-certified new prediction markets about whether a Category 1 hurricane will hit southeast Florida. It's one of many "hurricane markets."

🚨BREAKING: The @NBA and major sportsbooks have agreed to ban several bet types on the eve of the new season that begins Tuesday. The NBA remains reported close to a deal with federal regulators and prediction market operators concerning integrity, marketing, and data sharing. Among the betting wagers no longer being offered by the books that partner with the league, as reported by @DavidPurdum & @ShamsCharania: ✅ Parlays with multiple unders on the same player ✅ “First of” markets (opening tip, first shot, rebound, assist, steal) ✅ Unders on players expected to play under 12 min/game Why now? The season begins Tuesday. The NBA has been talking with gaming companies about tightening wagers after recent major betting scandals for several months. These single-player markets are easy to influence, and they’re hard to monitor until after the fact. Background 🏀Jontay Porter was banned for life in 2024 after the NBA found he’d limited his own playing time in games and disclosed health info to bettors. He later pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud conspiracy. 🏀 Terry Rozier was arrested in Oct. 2025 in a federal probe. Prosecutors alleged he tipped off bettors that he’d exit a 2023 game early, so they could bet unders on his stats. He’s pleaded not guilty. 📰 Previously The NBA and major sports books agreed to no longer offer player props on 10-day or two-way contract players, end turnover props, foul-related bets, and missed free throws bets.
