  We're honored to announce MLB has named Polymarket as their Exclusive Prediction Market Exchange Partner. Polymarket 🤝 MLB [video]

  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.

  Prediction Markets claim you're betting against other users, but you're really betting against Wall Street investors Prediction markets are sports gambling with a better PR strategy [video]

  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

  Wonderful 🙄 Add Polymarket to the list of companies actively and officially making the baseball-viewing experience worse.  [embedded post]

  No way this gets abused at all.  No one in MLB at any level would ever abuse a betting market.  Not a chance.  [embedded post]
