When discussing how this used case could be really great for restaurants and others to help hedge Be great if it could be applied towards high-level ingredients as well

An LA hospitality group runs 25 bars, many of them right by Dodger Stadium. Every extra playoff game means packed bars. An early exit means lost revenue they were counting on. So they hedged it. They put $60,000 on Kalshi on the Dodgers *not* making the World Series. The Dodgers lost the NLCS to the Brewers. The position returned nearly 2x, helping cover the playoff business that *never* came. A Columbia law professor told Fortune it works like “a form of bespoke insurance.” Read the full story here: fortune.com/2026/10/19/predi…

Prediction markets are now ‘bespoke insurance’ for businesses, and a Los Angeles restaurant group’s...

One unnamed hospitality group placed a $60,000 trade on Kalshi to offset revenue losses from the Dodgers’ World Series miss, according to the platform.

Brilliant. Lawyer should be an advisor who adds value to the deal or the business. The billable hour should go away. Just like we move from tokens to outcome pricing We should be moving from billable hour to outcome pricing for anything legal

This is not surprising at all. So few consider what it costs to get that top line revenue #

Poppi isn't meeting expecations for Pepsi after buying it for $2 bn: "Poppi is underwhelming: Pepsi now expects to pay almost none of the $300 million bonus it promised the sellers if the brand hit its targets" wsj.com/business/its-too-lat…

It’s Too Late for Small Fixes at Pepsi

The problem may be bigger than a few weak brands. Pepsi needs to stop tinkering and consider more fundamental changes.

It’s great for the brand in Vegas and a few key markets even if it’s not scalable system wide. I imagine RTD cocktails, and other alcoholic beverages making their way into more QSR and fast casual concepts as drone delivery increases. Drone delivery makes those an interesting option for on-premise places for off-premise sales.

Vegas seems a natural market for these drinks. Generally, it’s very hard for QSRs to be successful selling alcohol and it usually only accounts for (on average) 1 to maybe 4-5-% of total sales.
