Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 29/09/2026How much, in your professional opinion, would this bill actually “stop the chaos”? Seems like we’d still have a select few players getting huge House/NIL paydays and wholesale roster transfers when a coach moves, which are two of the biggest complaints I see thrown around. 011

Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I assume the initial counterparty to the block transaction was, yes; but as far as I can tell those block contracts then become part of the float (disclaimer: I am a consumer finance guy not a Commodities guy). And presumably that initial counterparty is also looking to make a buck… 000
Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Er, the insurance company, on LSU’s behalf. All the more reason for retail consumers to not participate in prediction markets — institutional counterparties have very different incentives, risk appetites and information than you do! 100
Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I think the main difference between taking out insurance with Lloyd’s and hedging on Kalshi is that Lloyd’s is a big, sophisticated financial firm and Kalshi is mostly a bunch of dudes betting on sports. So instead of offloading risk onto banks, LSU is offloading it onto, like, Florida fans. 100

Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 26/08/2025I think it’s mostly driven by Phillies fans? Turner is having a “quietly good at everything” season and it’s just more obvious to the casual fan to chant “M-V-P!” for your lovable beefy boi with 45+ dingers. 010

Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Assuming the same transfer fee/wages, would you rather have a player who underperformed xG by 20% the prior season, or overperformed by 20%? And if there’s an obvious answer, what’s the premium you’re willing to pay for such a player relative to his converse? 100

Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 10/06/2025@mikepetriello.bsky.social Statcast rated this a 95% Catch Probability - seriously?? 100
Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 06/06/2025How should I think about the baseline minutes share for a player who *doesn’t* get transferred? Among top-flight clubs I am guessing there is a lot of season-to-season variability in playing time even among holdovers. Still, the transfer stats are… not great! 100

Bobby Pillote @bobbypillote.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Without sounding too hand-wavy, could “lack of a team tradition” be a factor? Limited practice time and lots of roster turnover, so the team has not been able to establish successful strategy and identity. You might even expect results to lag talent by several cycles. 100
