What makes Polymarket worse than the sportsbooks is lack of regulation and profit incentive. I can at least trust that outlier betting patterns will unearth insider trading on DK or FD. They stand to lose money if there's an information gap. But not Polymarket. It's rife with it.

The enduring legacy of Rob Manfred will be that he sold out the greatest sport ever created for every last dollar he could squeeze out of every entity no matter how shady to make his already-rich owners even more rich. That's what he'll leave behind.

Free markets for sports is a better UX and better prices for people. In a few years the idea that free markets for sports was not the default will feel absurd. MLB is the first major sports league to get it A better sportsbook is not why we are here of course. Better information
