Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have revolutionized sports betting. They have also opened the door to wagering not only on sporting events but also on political, news, and entertainment events. Dabbling in prediction markets is likely to be an unprofitable endeavor for most individuals. A community of elite traders is already dominating these markets. New entrants face a steep learni...
Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have revolutionized sports betting. They have also opened the door to wagering not only on sporting events but also on political, news, and entertainment events. Dabbling in prediction markets is likely to be an unprofitable endeavor for most individuals. A community of elite traders is already dominating these markets. New entrants face a steep learning curve and likely lack the resources or connections to gain an edge. However, what if you didn't need to become a top trader to profit from this trend? Kalshi and Polymarket themselves may remain privately held, but there is a public company out there that is already profiting from their rise, yet is trading at multiyear lows. The sports stock I'm talking about is Genius Sports (NYSE: GENI) . Continue reading

Today it is a fundraising juggernaut, but when it was born 40 years ago this month, things were very different. Lenny Henry, Richard Curtis and more explain how they got the gang together for a good cause A near-the-knuckle Spitting Image skit involving the former prince Andrew. The Young Ones performing their chaotic single Living Doll with Cliff Richard. Kate Bush somehow being coaxed on to a stage to duet with Rowan Atkinson. It was 40 years ago this month that Comic Relief staged its inaugural event at London’s Shaftesbury theatre, and while today it is a fundraising juggernaut (the 2026 event, held last month, raised £30m for charity), its origin story remains delightfully scrappy and exploratory. In 1984, a year before Live Aid entirely recalibrated what a showbiz charity event could look like, there was a remarkable gathering of what was fast becoming the new British comedy elite at a tiny village in Hampshire. The location, Nether Wallop, was chosen seemingly on the basis of its amusing name, and the intention was to create a comedy alternative to the Edinburgh festival. Continue reading...
Individual coroners decide scope of evidence considered, which campaigners say leads to inconsistencies The coroner’s court in England has been criticised by families of domestic violence victims for an unwillingness to consider how abuse can drive people to suicide.

Individual coroners decide scope of evidence considered, which campaigners say leads to inconsistencies The coroner’s court in England has been criticised by families of domestic violence victims for an unwillingness to consider how abuse can drive people to suicide. Grieving loved ones of those who have taken their own lives after abuse said it was not a “joined-up process” whether inquests into suicide deaths consider the treatment victims were subjected to while they were alive.

Acclaimed stage and screen actor has taken part in Washington DC’s Folger Shakespeare Library residency program during a troubling time for the Capitol Addressing an audience at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, Adjoa Andoh acknowledged that some of her work might look “Black or colour-centric” but that is only because of the silos the world forces us into. She could just as easily be Leeds United football club-centric, she added. “I am missing two crucial matches to be here with you this week,” the 63-year-old exclaimed, prompting laughter in the theatre. “I have tickets!” Continue reading...
