Brief

swyx says a $500,000 bet placed six months ago on Team USA is now paying off for @aidotengineer VIPs. He attributes the bet to @brendanhunting's 'this is the year' claim for @usmnt, @philipkiely's unlimited exec-event budget pledge, and his options-trading experience. With the game on AIE WF day 3 they bought every VIP suite and used @Polymarket for live messaging; final image shows New Jersey World Cup pricing.

6 months ago we put $500k into betting on Team USA that is paying off now for our @aidotengineer VIPs.

3 things set me up for the biggest sports bet i have ever made in my life:
- watching @brendanhunting of @TedLasso say "this is the year" for @usmnt
- @philipkiely telling me there is unlimited budget for unique exec events
- my options trading background

The game falls on AIE WF day 3 so we just yolo bought up every single VIP suite we could find. @Polymarket helped give live updates on how to message this to my speakers and sponsors.

btw last image is pricing for the World Cup final in new jersey
