@ryan-carruthers it was good wasn’t it, a sign of things to come I think. Financially literate professionals making the cross over from investment banking/trading to sports trading or derivatives of sports trading. I wonder if we’ll see Wall Street trading sports in the next 20 years.

If you use ball street I’d be interested to hear how it goes.

@chris-watts I will get this one! I like that podcast.

@ryan-carruthers The founder did a podcast on the business of betting podcast recently, well worth a listen.

Ryan

@chris-watts This looks amazing!! lol

Wow!! I will be hooked on this, interesting that these kind of things are allowed in the states surely we can't be that long from Betfair there!

@ryan-carruthers From what I can tell its kind of a cross between fantasy sports, poker and trading. You trade games live and compete with other players to be in the top 20% which is based on P&L from trading to match. Kind of like options but using sports as the underlying vehicle. Im not a U.S sports fan particularly but could see it working for the premier league here in the UK.

Have you guys heard of Ball Street Trading? Sounds like a fun idea if your into U.S sports.

@ryan-carruthers tbh will be shocked if we don't sign another qb, may as well go for Tebow if we don't care at least he would be more exciting to watch!

Ryan

@martin-futter Exactly, thing here is you never know with Fitz you could get the talented player he is or you could get the s**t show....

Martin

@ryan-carruthers seems we are waiting for next season to draft a qb seems strange to write a whole season off on the hope we get a low draft pick

Ryan

@martin-futter probs even more so after the news of signing Fitzpatrick....

Martin

@ryan-carruthers got to do it, just go big get some excitement going in the city it has been a long time since Marino glory days now! at the moment it is less about winning a Superbowl and more about exciting a fanbase who like myself are very disillusioned!

Ryan

Wow, what is going to happen now!! Everybody will know that as well so when they come a calling they’ll be asking for a hell of a lot.

Not much in the QB room in Miami now, got to move up and nab a top rookie QB.

Martin

@ryan-carruthers bennett? they have lost a lot of top players though (as always) not that it makes a diff to them!

browns, jets and raiders making a tonne of moves could have good years if they come off

Ryan

The pats have gone and got themselves a baller!!

Ryan

@bob I actually love it!! I think its bloody brilliant, you get to see the coaches at their best and makes it really entertaining and to get a top top player you have to give up a fair bit....

I'd love to see it in the top leagues with the talent playing in the lower leagues lol then drafting from there.

Martin

@bob yep it's what makes the game great a level playing field!

I find the draft system and the trading system fascinating in the NFL when comparing it to the European football (I refuse to use the word beginning in ‘S’). Some of the biggest players going to some of the more average teams that you wouldn’t expect to be competing deep into the end of next season. Imagine the top players in europe signing for a mid table team in the prem. I realise it’s a very different system but still find it hard to get my head around! Haha
