People often suggest trend following as an alternative to simply buying and holding BTC. I’d heard the argument plenty of times, but I’d never actually worked through the evidence myself. So I extended my open-source tf-trend package to test it. summitward.com/learn/crypto-… #Investing #Finance #PersonalFinance #Quant

If you didn’t already own this ticket, would you pay $612,212.95 today to buy a bet that pays $1.715M if the Spurs win and $0 otherwise?
A bettor could turn $2,500 into $1.7 MILLION today if the Spurs win Game 7 🤯 The 4-leg futures parlay placed on February 14th has already cashed on: • The U.S. men's hockey team to win the gold medal • The Michigan men's basketball team to win the NCAA Tournament • The Knicks to win the Eastern Conference The current cash out offer is $612K but the bettor said he is not cashing out.

Do strikeouts really hurt run scoring? Once you account for getting on base and hitting for power, strikeout rate adds little additional information about differences in runs scored across teams. open.substack.com/pub/ryanga… #BaseballAnalytics

I think coaches sometimes misunderstand the problem: “tie it first, then win” is the wrong optimization. You need 4+ points, and maximizing the chance of a tie can actually reduce the chance to win.

HEY: Do you wish to save, invest, and build wealth? If so, we encourage you to *AVOID* goofballs and grifters on this app. These are the accounts that “teach” folks to trade options, or focus on dividends, or be their own bank, or beat the market, or read candlestick charts…
