Open-market insider buying at DraftKings is rare, and Alan Wayne Ellingson just put roughly $350,000 of his own money into the stock at $18.51 a share, lifting his stake by about 9%. Insiders at the betting operator have been sellers far more often than buyers, which makes a purchase this size worth noting.

Marketing spend for the new Predictions product jumped to $605.7 million, blowing out the loss and forcing a cut to full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance.
