@ImawhalePM is hiring Automated Trading Engineers and Quantitative Developers. A few things about us: • Largest non-institutional market maker on Kalshi • $1.9B in notional traded, first non-institutional firm past $1B • 19 traders pricing every market by hand • 10+ years as the largest sports syndicate in the US All of that was priced manually. Now we’re building the automated side. Quoting, execution, risk, backtesting. Our CTO built the platform we trade on today and he’s leading this build. Fully remote. To apply, email hiring@imawhale.com with: 1. Your resume 2. Code we can look at (GitHub or a project you’re proud of) 3. A few sentences on the most complex system you’ve built and your stack

Historically, September has been a tough month for us. We affectionately call the next month “Red Hot October” as we try to recoup September’s struggles. This September started well. First half of the month, we were winning. In the back of my mind I thought, “It’s September…” but this is prediction markets. It’s different. Well, a week later I can ascertain that September still sucks. This will be the first losing month in @ImawhalePM history, and losing sucks. Food starts to taste bad. The weather sucks. You start wondering how you ever won to begin with. A lot of people talk about their wins and how great this business is, so here’s the alternative view: Prediction markets are becoming the most efficient and narrowest markets I’ve ever seen in this industry. MM margins are getting throttled all the time, while the competition to grow volume, improve technology, and find new angles to overcome those shrinking margins is moving at a feverish pace. That’s what makes it fun. We might not end up being the ultimate grand master champion when it’s all said and done, but just getting to play in this tournament has been an absolute blast. Some BBQ this weekend is going to taste great. And I hear it’s finally cooling down in Texas soon. Red Hot October.

If your betting billions, booking billions, or market making billions - the common denominator is @RealSpotOdds “SpotOdds is hands down the best sports odds service there is today” Billy Walters LEGENDARY PROFESSIONAL SPORTS BETTOR “For the best combination of real-time market coverage, injury information, and lineup information, SpotOdds is the industry leader.” Chris Bennett SPORTSBOOK DIRECTOR, CIRCA SPORTS “The gold standard for professional sports traders.

Tons of quality applicants so far - keep them coming! Even if you don’t match the exact job description, we want to talk to any strong developer that can help us build cool things. hiring@imawhale.com

Enjoyed today’s @bet_bash panel, thx @spanky for putting it together!

Nice team dinner @ImawhalePM at Zero Bond during @bet_bash

I was skeptical of how big World Cup would be for Predictions. I was certainly wrong. Congrats to @Kalshi on continuing to set new record notional volumes, including today’s all time daily record. Expecting next 6 weeks to be more quiet until football. We will stay busy training our trading team to be ready come Labor Day weekend.

Today we @ImawhalePM crossed 1B in lifetime volume traded on Kalshi. 8 months ago this was just an idea. A few things about us: • We’re a delta-neutral, opinionless market making operation
• Our focus is tight spreads, fast pricing, and deep liquidity across fragmented event markets
• None of this volume came from RFQs
• We make markets across everything from Cricket and Esports to NFL and WNBA
• We recently tripled the size of our trading team
• 2 months ago we launched a live trading division
• We’re still a tiny team relative to the opportunity Most importantly, we definitely do not have all the answers yet. We’ve had wins, mistakes, painful lessons, and plenty of volatility along the way. But this is the most intellectually fun problem any of us have ever worked on. Excited for the next 1B to come a lot faster.

Wild day on Kalshi’s IPL market. Ended up doing roughly one-third of the entire market’s volume: ~$9M traded out of ~$27M total.

We’re building fast. In April, we pushed:
• $256M in Kalshi volume
• Doubled the trading team
• Launched our live trading arm
• Rolled out internal trading software In May, we’re accelerating:
• 3 new exchange launches
• Training the next wave of traders
• Expanding live coverage imawhale.com

Imawhale is going all-in on prediction markets. $500M+ in volume #1 on Kalshi volume leaderboard (opt ins) This is just the starting point. We’re building the leading PM trading platform. Strategic partners + hires: imawhale.com

Incredible weekend at National mid am event Snedeker Memorial honoring @HaymesSnedeker @BrandtSnedeker family. Thx @backoftherange for the great pics! Fun to be in the mix and competing w some great mid ams!

In an intense multiple day, 5 set match against @tonydunsttv. On day 2 we just broke each other 11 games in a row. That seems statistically improbable for solid 4.0/4.5 players. Thoughts @adamlevitan @badams78?

No better way to celebrate @jetsetrach 40th than the Paris Olympics. Our favorite city in the world combined with the excitement and infrastructure of the Olympics was even more than I could have ever imagined. We focused on tennis/food and we scratched 1% of the surface.

I’m so excited for @bet_bash week!! This will be my 3rd year going. Best advice I can give is to arrive with no agenda. Each year I’ve been able to meet so many people, 99% I haven’t done an ounce of business w and it’s all amazing. Ty @spanky and team as always for organizing!

2 years later, still grooving this move

PSA to @WSOP poker players: Yday, one of my sports traders had his backpack w cash stolen out of a locker in the @parishotelvegas spa. Locker was crowbarred (along w 4 other lockers). Wasn’t a huge amount of cash, just posting alerting others that might use the spa during WSOP!

Played w Burns on Tuesday and saw him miss a 10 footer on 18 for 59. Not taking him to win the Amex this week watching what I saw Tuesday has to be a pretty massive blunder as a professional gambler.

We Christmas’ed Hawaiian style
