NCAA Futures Tickets
For those exploring this method of betting, it's been quite a run, as 4 of the 6 future tickets still alive at the elite 8, with 1 guaranteed to be in the final 4. As usual, if you can sell the tickets on exchanges or otherwise, I recommend it. Another means to hedge is to put a small bet on the opposing team (e.g., Villanova or St. Peters) to lock in a profit on the futures ticket. Current price of futures tickets:
Duke 12 to 1 (now increased 3-fold in value to 4 to 1)
UCLA 30 to 1 (now out; more than doubled in value before last night's game)
Illinois 35 to 1 (gone)
Houston 40 to 1 (now increased more than 10-fold in value, to 3 to 1)
Arkansas 50 to 1 (now increased 5-fold in value, to 10 to 1)
UNC 100 to 1 (now increased more than 15-fold in value to 6 to 1)
Profit on these, if measured like stocks, is a 500% rate of return in just a month's time.

FIFA Club World Cup Preview
So we finally got what everyone wanted and has been waiting for. Yet another month long international tournament after an increasingly gruelling domestic season. All jokes aside, this is a very exciting tournament if you're approaching it from a betting point of view. Due to previous club world cups being ad hoc winter tournaments, there is no direct past action to compare it to. This implies a certain amount of volatility qua pricing. If we are able to take advantage of this volatility, we may do well out of it yet.
This tournament does have a predecessor, the Confederations Cup, which ran until 2017. It was due to be held in Qatar in 2021 but was abolished due to concerns over the sky high temperatures there. The new expanded club world cup was created as a direct replacement for it. Both the regular club world cup and confederations cup were smaller affairs with 8 teams, so each team only played five games at most. This tournament will have up to seven games for teams who reach ...
