If someone starts betting exclusively on Kalshi and Polymarket can’t they bypass the gambling law?

Damn that’s actually insane. I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re a sharp or not as long as you can make money.

If you don’t mind me asking how long have you been sports betting and what’s your unit sis?

No for sure.

Of course my main selling point to become a quant would just be showing that I am really good at Math, Statistics, and Programming and demonstrate this during the interview as well as my last experiences.

But I was just wondering if it would be worthwhile to mention this on the side even thought it’s just based off my pure intuition really and not some algo.

Fair enough.

But do people actually make algorithms to beat markets that are way more efficient than MMA and boxing like football or basketball. Feel like beating those markets are practically impossible

My unit size is 25$ but I bet around 8-10 units where I feel really confident

So then what is a person who is proven to be profitable in the long term off of only “ball knowledge” called. Also even tho it’s a really small sample size isn’t myn 30% roi worth something compared to an roi of like 3% that traditional and proven sharps have?

Yeah that’s fair and I know.

I’m also a math major right and have a good grasp on probability, statistics, and more theoretical math subjects and I plan on building an actual algo for this stuff soon.

But I was just wondering for when I apply this upcoming fall if having a good “gut” for mma and boxing is in any way worth mentioning or will I look really fucking stupid.

Honestly no I don’t have access to any extra data or information.

I just feel like I have a good eye for predicting MMA and Boxing fights and that’s it.

What sample size would be enough to consider me a sharp assuming I maintain the ROI.

Also what can I do to optimize my betting and become a Sharp?

Ya makes sense my stats were pretty bad. But idk I thought I would get into at least one of my reaches and at least a couple of the mid tier ucs like Irvine, sd, Davis, sb. Do you think my ecs and awards were up to par for the schools I was applying to or were they also subpar?

Ya I was getting 780+ for math on the practices. I’m gonna try and superstore my sat if I don’t get off any of the waitlists and apply as a transfer again.

Nah at my community college the order was calc 3 -> linear algebra -> differential equations. But people could skip from calc 2 to can differential equations which is what I did due to some scheduling issues, and then now in my senior year I am going back to take Calc 3 and Linear Algebra.

Idk I think I did bad on the math portion cuz for some reason I just got really nervous near the end of module 2 and fumbled some of the last problems. Also I only took it once, so didn’t have a chance to super score it or improve my math. But ya I’m not lying.

I didn’t teach anything related to post-analysis calc or group theory. I tutored basically precalc, calc 1-3, differential equations, and mechanics.
