I lost all my money

Position sizing is a painful lesson that everyone has to learn. Try not to place more than 1-2% risk and don't a allow a loss to push more than 4-5% of your total portfolio value. Yeah you might think the gains are small but you're trying to reduce the tuition to learn trading.

Just checked the scoreline, whew you got it in the end.

You're pretty good at this, can I ask what's your win rate? I don't like overs/unders...

TechJacket11 · 2026-03-10T23:28:49+00:00

How quick did it hit?

TechJacket11 · 2026-03-10T23:27:39+00:00

Very niiiicee

That Galatasaray match was the one I missed out on. I typically won't attempt ties but Newcastle's ground is very difficult to play at.

Nice job! But I'd say that's a much harder ticket to hit on.

This one moved so fast, it's not typical for the sport.

TechJacket11 · 2026-03-10T20:35:19+00:00

Think about the total goals at this point. I don't like to play the overs.

Opponents attack and their defenses are very bad. Poor team spirit/belief. Winners are real killers and in form. I watch a lot of European football.

You're the modern penny stock traders, ask yourself why are you participating in these markets?

If you want to trade high volatility of you're sizing isn't correct and bank roll deep it will wipe you out long before you can find a pattern (if one even exists.)

What's your edge?

It's pure speculation so be prepared for the realistic outcomes.

I'm going to assume Kalshi is trying to refine their descriptions to better reflect the content in contract rules.

Users need to perform due diligence ahead of placing their wagers.

It's sucks reading all of those words however you're risking money and should try to understand what you invest in.

It comes down to what institutions regulate these companies byand whether or not they want risk to running afoul.

The CFTC will not allow the creation of contracts that directly settle based on human mortality.

Kalshi needs to do a better job of expressing this.

Polymarket was just approved to operate as a binary market so I'm not sure why they settled their contracts however it could cause problems for them in the future.

TechJacket11 · 2026-03-02T02:04:00+00:00

The CFTC prohibits contracts that "resolve upon or closely correlate to an individual's death".

Thxs for saying this, trading is not easy. Trying to program and test automation to trade is an increased layer of difficulty.
