Capital is allocated to algorithmically sized bets on every Knicks game, invested in Knicks stock, and used to buy Knicks collectibles.

The New York Knicks are the most iconic and influential sports brand in the world. Their 2026 championship is the opening chapter of our investment thesis: a long-term supercycle in the value of the franchise and the company behind it. We see sustained success on the court, global fan engagement and commercial growth reinforcing one another, with opportunities across team equity, game markets and collectibles. New York Basketball Strategies (NYBS) is built around that conviction.
“Automatically be invested in every Knicks game without having to place individual bets yourself.”
Exposure to the Knicks to win every regular-season and playoff game through prediction markets. The proposed algorithmic betting system would fine-tune each stake using market prices, estimated edge and risk limits, with the aim of improving profitability. Each contract settles under its listed rules; a losing position can lose its full cost.
Separate exposure to the Knicks to cover the spread in every regular-season and playoff game. The proposed algorithmic betting system would fine-tune each stake using market prices, estimated edge and risk limits, with the aim of improving profitability. A Knicks win alone may not cover the spread, and a losing position can lose its full cost.
Buy shares in MSG Knickerbockers Corp. (MSGK), the business behind the New York Knicks and Westchester Knicks. This provides exposure to ticket sales, sponsorships, media rights and franchise value; the stock can fall even when the team wins.
Buy shares in MSG Entertainment (MSGE), whose venues include Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre. This provides exposure to venues and live events beyond basketball, rather than another direct stake in the Knicks.
Buy season-outcome contracts, including a Knicks championship, separately from game-day bets. Positions could be sold as the odds rise during a playoff run if buyers are available; an unsuccessful contract can lose its full purchase cost.
Buy graded Knicks player cards, signed memorabilia and authenticated game-worn gear. Each purchase would need verified provenance, a clear price and secure storage.
Keep cash for expenses, planned positions and new opportunities. Every 30 days, a proposed community vote would direct up to 2% of the total portfolio from available reserves toward eligible Knicks investments or keeping it in cash.

Illustrative path, not historical prices or a forecast. Intermediate values use assumed progress toward the selected outcome; no actual fund shares are trading. After assumed costs, before tax.
Uses the proposed allocation above as a simplified equal-stake illustration, not a backtest of the proposed algorithmic betting system. The planned strategy would vary stakes by game; this illustration does not model that sizing or any performance improvement from it. For calculation purposes only, each game-day budget is divided equally across all games and spent once; proceeds are not reinvested. Every moneyline contract is assumed to cost 60¢, and every spread contract 52¢. These are invented scenario prices, not current market quotes. A winning binary contract pays $1; a losing contract pays $0. At these fixed prices, each game-day allocation ends at its starting value × win or cover rate ÷ contract price.
The futures allocation buys championship-winning contracts at 7¢ and exits at 100¢ per contract, for a value multiplier of 14.29× before costs. The Finals run scenario assumes buying at 7¢ and selling the entire position at 40¢ when the Knicks reach the Finals; proceeds are held without further return through season end. These are illustrative prices, not verified current odds or an assured Finals price. A sale requires buyers at the assumed price; displayed probabilities are not guaranteed cash-out prices. The Championship scenario instead holds to a $1 winning settlement, while Strong season assumes a 12¢ sale. Sale proceeds and settlement payouts are alternatives, never added together. Stock and collectible values use the selected percentage changes. Cash earns the selected season return; no community-vote spending is modeled. Collectible values are assumed marks, not guaranteed sale proceeds.
The costs input deducts 2% of starting capital (limited to remaining assets) for a simplified combined allowance covering trading fees, spreads, management, storage and other expenses. It is not a quoted fee schedule. Taxes, variable game prices, pushes, cancellations, unavailable contracts, whole-contract rounding and execution constraints are not modeled. A $1 unit scales a larger hypothetical portfolio; it is not a claim that these positions can be bought for $1. The preset scenarios deliberately illustrate upside only, have no assigned probabilities and are not expected returns. Custom inputs can produce losses; no minimum return is enforced. The line assumes 0%, 15%, 35%, 60%, 80%, 95% and 100% progress in non-futures gains and costs. Futures marks use 0%, 5%, 15%, 30%, 55%, 80% and 100% progress, except a 40¢ exit uses 65% at playoffs and 100% at Finals, with proceeds then held in cash. These paths are illustrative assumptions, not a game-by-game or market-data simulation.

The plan is a Knicks moneyline position and a separate Knicks spread position for every regular-season and playoff game through prediction-market event contracts. A proposed algorithmic betting system would vary the amount committed to each position using market prices, estimated edge and portfolio risk limits, rather than staking the same dollar amount on every game. The objective is to improve profitability while maintaining both types of exposure on every game; profits are not guaranteed. Futures are additional. The algorithm and execution rules will be developed and validated before launch.
After launch, a vote is proposed every 30 days on where to deploy up to 2% of total portfolio value from the 10% cash reserve. Members would choose among eligible Knicks investments or retaining cash. The budget cannot exceed available reserves after required expenses and commitments; it is not automatically replenished. Options, results and any execution exceptions would be published. Voting eligibility, counting rules and required approvals will be set before the first vote. There is no live vote yet.
You could lose money. Knicks stock, collectibles and game positions can fall together. Prediction-market positions can lose their entire cost. Collectibles can be difficult to sell. Wins do not guarantee portfolio returns or payouts.
The fund structure, prediction-market access, investor eligibility and applicable legal requirements must be resolved. Waitlist registration does not establish eligibility or reserve an investment.
