How to play Dont Eat The Candy
Some exchange operators already filed plans to introduce KPI-linked event contracts. Those derivatives would be tied to metrics such as corporate earnings or, in more nuanced cases, Apple iPhone shipments or Tesla deliveries — just two examples — in a given quarter.
While sports event contracts remain the headline-grabbers for prediction market operators, there’s evidence that other categories are experiencing growth. As Bernstein points out, cryptocurrency event contracts account for at least 20% of the turnover on the two largest prediction markets.
In another encouraging non-sports sign, one of those operators notched just $2 million in commodities volume last year, but that figure surpassed $410 million in August alone and is approaching $600 million on a year-to-date basis.
About Dont Eat The Candy
Christian Cipollini, senior trading manager at BetMGM, noted that heading into Sunday’s games, sportsbooks needed key underdog covers to offset a strong Week 1 for public bettors. Getting outcomes from the Browns, Saints, Titans, or Dolphins provided much-needed relief to the house.
In the end, Week 1 and Week 2 could hardly have been more different, said Joey Feazel, head of football at Caesars Sportsbook.
The book enjoyed a steady diet of low-scoring primetime games in Week 1, but Week 2 began with an all-you-can-eat touchdown buffet for bettors on Thursday night,” Feazel said. “Seven of the eight most popular touchdown scorers cashed, and the only player who failed to score, DJ Moore, was refunded under Injury Protection.”

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said tight end Brock Bowers will undergo a pregame workout before Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, keeping the door open for his return from knee surgery.
It’s a long shot. Bowers, who underwent a meniscus trim on his left knee on Sept. 8, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning Friday in a limited capacity.
During his media availability Friday, Kubiak repeatedly stressed that the NFL season consists of “17 desperate games in a row.”
