Prayers to good friend and retired Louisville SID Kenny Klein (@KKcards) who suffered a medical emergency yesterday and is being cared for at a Louisville hospital. Kenny has been a special assistant with Rick Pitino’s basketball program at St. John’s for past 2 years. Great guy.

Now, FanDuel has Staal as the Conn Smythe favorite (-105). Marner, who had been under even money for a while, is now at 300.
Nikolaj Ehlers, BTW, now down to 1000 after his three-assist game. Believe he was 10000 earlier.

We'll see if the Canes D can lock this down for the last six minutes.

This is the Canes' best period of the Stanley Cup Final, and what many expected to see throughout the series.

Mitch Marner is still the Conn Smythe favorite at FanDuel, but his implied probability is now under 50% ( 110) .
Jordan Staal's odds are shorter than 3-1 ( 290).

Both goals tonight have been things of beauty.
Had Carolina not tried to press on the PK against 5 forwards, the Canes woulf likely be up 1-0.

I know Texas Tech is in a spot no school wants to be in but I'm genuinely surprised at how poorly they have handled this. With the money they have this might be the worst PR campaign we have seen

This @PlayProphetX team slogged through a hostile state-regulatory environment, pivoted to a sweeps model to survive, and just earned @CFTC approval. Couldn't be happier for this team. They plowed through the impossible and got it done.
A few thoughts:
1. States - you sent one of the brightest innovators in the market to the Federal framework. Congrats! You lose.
2. Founders - the difference between success and failure is simple: never give up. Be hard to kill. Be a cockroach.

Carolina walked (or skated, if you will) in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, so the New York Knicks could run in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Great piece here by @BeneFactumGames on prediction markets and how much money is actually at stake in any particular opportunity, such as which country will win the World Cup?

The Texas Attorney General sent a formal letter to the Big 12 today alerting the conference that Texas Tech would take action against any league sanction.
Jun 10
As Big 12 presidents consider sanctions, Texas Tech reps notified the league that any penalty will be met with legal action, sources tell @YahooSports.
Tech is exploring legal avenues with noted attorney Jeff Kessler, including seeking a second injunction

I think this is what Fox was thinking. He's going to get fouled, why not try for a 3-point play to end any hope for a comeback.
There was contact, but I don't know if the refs would have called anything short of him getting mugged.

I don't hate Fox trying the layup there and trying to get the 3-point play, but if he held onto the ball... man
You have to wonder

Something worth noting here. DC-licensed sportsbooks cannot operate on lands owned by the federal government.
So, if you have a ticket for this and want to bet during the event, I'm guessing prediction markets are the only option.

Saw Jordan Staal Conn Smythe odds at 6000 early in the night at @FDSportsbook . Now after scoring his second goal of the night and the potential game-winning goal* tonight, those odds are down to 650.
