frick all of this. Sports betting was way more fun when it wasn’t thrown in your face everywhere you turn.

I used to enjoy throwing a 10 dollar parlay every once in awhile for shits and giggles, haven’t placed one in about 3 years now. It’s predatory as hell on young minds

I look forward to my career at the University of LSU. I prayed to god about this and talked to my family. Please respect my decision. Shout out to Polymarket.

Prediction markets are societal poisson and also incredibly annoying in how it’s convinced people it means anything

“Poly market says XXXXX has a 96 percent chance of happening!!”

My drunk uncle says it has a 76 percent chance of happening, both have equal value to predicting the future

Get used it

Donald Trump Jr.'s investment firm 1789 Capital has reportedly generated returns of roughly 200%, driven partly by an early bet on prediction market platform Polymarket.

Trump Jr. also serves as a strategic adviser to Polymarket's main rival Kalshi, which reportedly granted him shares for the role, meaning federal decisions on prediction markets may benefit him whichever platform wins.

Never mind all the other big wigs facilitating prediction markets

Let’s focus on Trump Jr because it helps show everyone what a variation of TDS looks like

A couple people talked specifically about the legality and whether they'd be outlawed. Forgot about all the other big wigs facilitating prediction markets dads are also president of the United States.

A president reliant on appeasing big wigs to get things done.

If only he was a king that wouldn’t be an issue

Can't wait to bet my life savings on where 17 year old Tradavious Washington signs out of high school at.

The Trump administration's actions related to prediction markets have played a huge part in them being able to operate in the US.

They were classified as commodities markets so regulated under the CFTC, which seems ridiculous to me, and the feds have even sued state governments that try to classify them as gambling enterprises.

Don Jr getting cushy positions both with Kalshi and Polymarket, which his company invested in, is not a good look given what's gone on.

Sounds like TDS. Amirite, or amirite?

So are you going to be able to bet on which school a player picks? That seems like a horrible idea.

Mike Scarborough ruined his Tigerbait because they knew Landon Collins was picking Alabama at the UA game but they strung the subscribers along all day. Now he can make up the money lost with some insider trading. Not to mention all the family members and coaches that'll wet their beak too.

Condition: player is enrolled at a certain school by first day of class

- Player commits to school X
- Market surges to >90% for school X
- Relative or friend bets heavily for school Y on the cheap
- Player decommits from school X, commits to and subsequently enrolls with school Y

While against posted prediction market rules this does not necessarily break any laws. Nor are they airtight as it’s entirely plausible for a player to waiver in any direction
