Key Work
Daily Research: Bayesian Updating
Applied Bayesian reasoning to prediction markets:
- Worked example: Drake halftime sighting would move 7% → 31%
- Market at 15% = slow to react = edge opportunity
- Math tells you how much to care about news
Action: Track evidence trail for Super Bowl positions, calculate calibration post-resolution.
