00:06:48.390 I, 311 00:06:48.570 --> 00:06:49.589 I don't wanna get some random, 312 00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:49.899 uh, 313 00:06:49.910 --> 00:06:51.829 person on social media flamed for this stuff. 314 00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:53.059 I'm just giving you their points. 315 00:06:53.260 --> 00:06:54.619 Prediction markets are useless. 316 00:06:54.769 --> 00:06:55.649 They don't predict anything. 317 00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:57.750 They are one step below odds at the track. 318 00:06:57.989 --> 00:06:58.290 Now. 319 00:06:59.440 --> 00:06:59.920 First of all, 320 00:07:00.070 --> 00:07:00.859 odds at the track, 321 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:01.390 uh, 322 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:01.750 uh, 323 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:02.109 you know, 324 00:07:02.239 --> 00:07:02.959 there's a reason why, 325 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:03.279 you know, 326 00:07:03.359 --> 00:07:04.100 the 327 00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:05.859 institutions that set odds 328 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.019 tend to make money 329 00:07:07.359 --> 00:07:09.549 because they set them in very accurate ways, 330 00:07:09.559 --> 00:07:09.839 actually. 331 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:10.880 They're difficult to beat. 332 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.119 That's why people lose at sports gambling a lot, 333 00:07:13.359 --> 00:07:13.480 uh, 334 00:07:13.679 --> 00:07:16.700 because the odds set by the house are usually very difficult to beat, 335 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:17.940 and they have nice spreads and 336 00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:18.720 whatever. 337 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.000 So I don't know that odds are, 338 00:07:20.149 --> 00:07:20.350 uh, 339 00:07:20.359 --> 00:07:23.440 by the track are necessarily the bad thing to be compared to. 340 00:07:23.869 --> 00:07:25.040 But when you say they're useless, 341 00:07:25.119 --> 00:07:25.450 like, 342 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:25.640 we, 343 00:07:25.679 --> 00:07:27.190 we went through a lot of this data yesterday, 344 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.079 there's been a ton of studies that show, 345 00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:29.790 uh, 346 00:07:29.799 --> 00:07:30.570 exactly what 347 00:07:30.760 --> 00:07:32.339 these prediction markets do 348 00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:33.320 and do well, 349 00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:34.529 which is they are 350 00:07:34.799 --> 00:07:35.440 basically, 351 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:35.760 I mean, 352 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.820 almost near perfect calibration 353 00:07:38.239 --> 00:07:38.980 to reality. 354 00:07:39.239 --> 00:07:42.320 If a prediction market says there's a 70% chance of something happening. 355 00:07:42.829 --> 00:07:43.320 Um, 356 00:07:43.640 --> 00:07:44.079 that means, 357 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:44.920 just so we're aware, 358 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.140 cause I posted a poll on this and I got kind of shocking results. 359 00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:48.890 Um, 360 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.000 so we're clear. 361 00:07:50.239 --> 00:07:50.799 If something, 362 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.260 if a prediction market says a 70% favorite, 363 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.119 that means that candidate 364 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.140 should lose, 365 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.679 if he ran that race a zillion times, 366 00:07:57.760 --> 00:07:59.500 should lose 30% of the time. 367 00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:01.619 Anything marked as a 70% favorite 368 00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:03.399 should lose about 30% of the time. 369 00:08:03.619 --> 00:08:05.910 Anything marked as a 30% underdog 370 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.040 should win about 30% of the time. 371 00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:09.380 That's how these odds work. 372 00:08:09.799 --> 00:08:10.140 So, 373 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.920 when you understand that. 374 00:08:12.390 --> 00:08:12.640 You, 375 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.190 you could understand what calibration means, 376 00:08:14.239 --> 00:08:14.600 which is, 377 00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:17.109 if someone says there's only a 10% chance of that happening, 378 00:08:17.359 --> 00:08:19.179 that doesn't mean it never happens. 379 00:08:19.890 --> 00:08:20.839 That doesn't mean 380 00:08:20.940 --> 00:08:22.579 it's the craziest thing in the world. 381 00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:23.420 Like we all, 382 00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:23.649 you know, 383 00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:26.299 mocked the Francesca Hong primary because it was a, 384 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:26.619 you know, 385 00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:27.440 prediction markets, 386 00:08:27.679 --> 00:08:27.940 um, 387 00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:28.380 you know, 388 00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:28.579 I, 389 00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:28.769 I, 390 00:08:28.859 --> 00:08:29.380 I was on them. 391 00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:31.100 I lost some money on Francesca Hong, 392 00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:32.640 she was at 95%. 393 00:08:32.859 --> 00:08:33.799 I started buying her 394 00:08:34.390 --> 00:08:37.260 a little bit when she dropped to 80% cause I still thought she was gonna win. 395 00:08:37.380 --> 00:08:38.320 She almost did, 396 00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:39.500 but she lost. 397 00:08:40.558 --> 00:08:41.018 And 398 00:08:41.508 --> 00:08:41.729 everyone was like, 399 00:08:41.789 --> 00:08:42.039 oh gosh, 400 00:08:42.119 --> 00:08:43.508 what a failure for prediction markets. 401 00:08:43.638 --> 00:08:44.039 No, 402 00:08:44.309 --> 00:08:47.739 a 95% favorite should lose 5% of the time. 403 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:48.379 If 404 00:08:48.638 --> 00:08:51.218 a 95% favorite does not lose ever, 405 00:08:51.838 --> 00:08:52.999 then the markets are broken. 406 00:08:55.750 --> 00:08:59.419 This has been

because one of the things people say is like, 1813 00:40:08.250 --> 00:40:08.370 oh, 1814 00:40:08.439 --> 00:40:08.889 it's all, 1815 00:40:08.969 --> 00:40:09.090 you know, 1816 00:40:09.159 -->

been a high percentage 1824 00:40:18.939 --> 00:40:19.949 of what, 1825 00:40:20.179 --> 00:40:20.409 uh, 1826 00:40:20.419 --> 00:40:21.810 these prediction markets are doing, 1827 00:40:21.860 --> 00:40:23.580 as for the reasons I just stated, 1828 00:40:23.899 --> 00:40:24.100 and, 1829 00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:25.280 and others as well, 1830 00:40:25.500 --> 00:40:25.739 um, 1831 00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:26.620 which we can talk about, 1832 00:40:26.699 --> 00:40:27.600 but this is the new, 1833 00:40:27.689 --> 00:40:28.320 uh, 1834 00:40:28.530 --> 00:40:28.810 rate, 1835 00:40:28.830 --> 00:40:29.129 and it's, 1836 00:40:29.149 --> 00:40:30.080 it's quite a different, 1837 00:40:30.100 --> 00:40:30.530 uh, 1838 00:40:30.540 --> 00:40:30.860 story. 1839 00:40:31.120 --> 00:40:34.739 Sports now generate about 65% of Calshi's revenue. 1840 00:40:35.080 --> 00:40:37.570 That is down from approximately 95% 1841 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:38.860 9 months ago. 1842 00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:39.429 So, 1843 00:40:39.520 --> 00:40:40.159 in just 9 months, 1844 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:42.040 it's gone from 95% to 65%. 1845 00:40:42.080 --> 00:40:43.040 The reason for that is, 1846 00:40:43.120 --> 00:40:43.239 you know, 1847 00:40:43.350 --> 00:40:44.389 it's a couple of different things. 1848 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:45.879 People getting more familiar with them, 1849 00:40:46.040 --> 00:40:49.600 more money coming in from institutions and other people who are interested in this. 1850 00:40:50.080 --> 00:40:50.290 Um, 1851 00:40:50.409 --> 00:40:52.040 and interested in different topics. 1852 00:40:52.370 --> 00:40:53.919 The other thing too is obviously the elections, 1853 00:40:54.050 --> 00:40:54.560 and this is, 1854 00:40:54.570 --> 00:40:54.810 remember, 1855 00:40:54.879 --> 00:40:56.070 a pretty boring 1856 00:40:56.370 --> 00:40:57.350 midterm election. 1857 00:40:57.570 --> 00:40:58.209 When I say boring, 1858 00:40:58.290 -->
