Talking about the 67th day of playing NBA trades in the prediction market.
Today was another disappointing ending—2 for 1, break even after both ways, no profit, no loss. But other sectors are still bleeding, which is tough.
Need to review thoroughly. The original bet on the Pelicans +2.5 actually had no problem; the logic was clear: matchups between teams at the bottom of the East and West, and such games usually don't have outrageous point spreads. In contrast, the Nets -2.5 was a bit of a stretch, with clearly insufficient support. So I decisively made a counter-move—abandoned the original idea and went short on that point spread.
This is the daily life of the prediction market. On a single day, it might be a tie, but if you keep doing this repeatedly, the problems will gradually surface. Every trade should prompt you to ask: why would the opposing side agree to this odds? If you can't figure it out, then don't touch it.
Keep honing your trading intuition.

A tie? No, this is just accumulating ammunition for the next big profit. If you can't understand the risk factor issue, don't bet. My 67 days of lessons have taught me that this is the most valuable lesson.

Breaking even still feels bad; the real pain is when other sectors are bleeding.

It's a draw, not a big deal. The key issue is that other sectors are bleeding, and that's the real problem.

A tie is the most uncomfortable... It's the bleeding in other sectors that is deadly, this is the cruel reality of the predictive market.
