RIP @groovinmahoovin
Thank you for all you taught me generously without ever asking for a single thing in return. I won't ever forget a single lesson and I will remember your influence every time I look at my model's dashboard. Rest easy.
This is an easy, good heuristic just like #YesAllTouts so not disagreeing.
But Groovin taught me. Groovin won. He was insane, but he was unique & spent time teaching if he felt you were putting in the effort to learn & never asked for anything in return.
RIP to the realest.
Threads like these are a great idea, finding access to good papers is too hard. But paper 1 is not good & much of 5 is covered in 4 (Oikonomidis involved in both).
You can check out my repo of papers here - github.com/hagrin/sports/tre⦠- not all encompassing but it's what I have.
I've come across a few articles and dissertations that may help with background information on sports gambling and common sports gambling models.

Was saving this for an article, but seems appropriate today.
Imagine if I cared about the fiat value of BTC denominated bets knowing Nitro took 6 BTC no KYC multi accts on broken NFL draft props in 2015. Lol?
And if you must, there are trading instruments you can use to help.
As someone joked in a chat somewhere earlier this week "this blockchain transparency thing is not going well for poor Vegas Dave".
Little did I know we were only at the beginning of Vegas Dave's low IQ journey through public ledgers.

I mean, lol?
If Top Shot is actually serious about multiaccounting and KYC and they haven't caught this yet, might be time to just give up and make it a free-for-all.
Throwback Thursday: Found this today after almost 5 years. Three days after the Deadspin article dropped on ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas.

I get books limiting winners, but if you're a no-KYC, BTC book & you're limiting winners on top of absurdly low limits, all you're doing is antagonizing me to beat you more.
If you think chain forensics & temporal analysis will save you vs me, my UTXOs have some bad news for you
Will probably record in the next 24-48 hours (if I can stop clearing my throat) & this will be the only time I ever do something like this so send your questions/insults.
Sports/crypto/tech good topics, pls no Whole Foods questions cc @jppeasy
Eliud Kipchoge just broke the 2 hour marathon barrier & did it looking pretty comfortable after a little rough patch in the middle of the race.
1:59:40.
Unreal.
Going to be a long day on the Twitter machine I see if we're starting the day standing with RAS although the irony of the argument being made is certainly not lost on me. Trending towards a #BFD.
1/3 No idea if VD does this but this is one of the oldest cons around in the investment space.
You use your own entity's funds to simulate actual cash flow / interest to hook potential investors (this case, show producers) & then return / chargeback the fraudulent investments.
2/3 Modern Example - Many crypto paid groups will cleverly use the ability to check a wallet's activity/balance to fraudulently suggest real interest from outside investors. However, a simple taint analysis will sometimes show that payments into a wallet are from same entity!
Here's the problem with recreational gamblers using Kelly criterion to help determine wager size: Kelly says you should be 0% of your bankroll if you don't have an edge.
Reading the Nitrogen chatbox on a Sunday with poors pestering the admins trying to get their .001 BTC wagers graded in time to shove it all in again on the 4:25pms.
Except, you know, for a million dollars and a title. #SBNC#PayTheManHisDogTreats
Dog treats for all!
There are far worse outcomes than @RufusPeabody shipping this (like PGF somehow shipping from 18th place god help us) so good luck Rufus.
