Sign InIn a move reflecting growing confidence in the regulated digital entertainment sector, Michael Burry, famous for his 'Big Short' trade, revealed full-sized positions in DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment. Burry's investment is split roughly 60% in Flutter and 40% in DraftKings. He believes that increased regulatory pressure on unregulated prediction markets will serve as a significant tailwind for established and licensed sports-betting platforms.
This bet comes as sports betting operators show robust growth, with Flutter recently reporting a 25% revenue increase in its latest quarter according to search-verified earnings reports, outperforming peers like Entain. Compared to broader sector trends, Burry’s pivot toward these firms reinforces bullish sentiment regarding their ability to capture market share as sports betting legalization expands across the U.S., per market data and recent financial filings.
From a technical perspective, DKNG closed at $26.91 (close July 07, 2026), while Flutter's trading levels remain under watch as institutional liquidity flows in. Investors are now looking ahead to the U.S. Non Farm Payrolls data later this week, which could influence consumer sentiment and discretionary spending, potentially impacting the near-term trajectory of these gambling stocks.
