Trade the Future. The Final Four Starts Saturday.
The Final Four is set: Arizona, Michigan, UConn, and Illinois all punched their tickets. But watching the games is only half the fun — what if you could put real money behind your predictions?
Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange where you buy and sell contracts based on the outcomes of real-world events. March Madness, elections, economic data, weather — if it's happening, there's probably a market for it.
I'm placing a trade on Arizona to cut down the nets. Their balance on both ends of the floor has been unmatched all tournament. But the beauty of Kalshi is you don't have to agree with me — you just have to have a take.

NFL owners have approved four rule changes presented by the Competition Committee at the Annual League Meeting:
1) Permitting the kicking team to declare an onside kick at any time during the game.
2) Eliminating the kicking team’s incentive to intentionally kick the ball out of bounds when kicking off from the 50-yard line.
3) Modifying the kickoff alignment requirements for the receiving team players in the setup zone.
4) Allowing the NFL Officiating Department to correct clear and obvious misses made by on-field officials that impact the game.
