  • Off = good, Back = bad

    Circles Off is must listen and have tuned in to every episode since inception.

    Circle Back is shock jock clickbait.

    I understand as bettors that have lost their edge the guys need to find another source of income and ATTENTION and CONTROVERSY sell, but the shows should really be decoupled. One is the most insightful and educational content there is while the other isn’t far from Stephen A Smith/Skip Bayless/Clay Travis fake outrage.

  • It’s over

    It’s time to say goodbye to this show. Highly recommend the earlier episodes from a few years back, as it used to be one of my favorite podcasts. I know there’s only so much evergreen content and interviews you can do, so I get the pivot but this is just brutal. It’s gossip about scamming bettors on twitter 90% of the time. And they talk about stuff where it’s obvious what the right answer is. And most of the hosts are arrogant nerds with speech impediments and no charisma, which certainly doesn... more

  • Awesome show!

    I came here from the Bettor Life 2.0, got tired listening to Eric about how much time he spends at casinos and away from his kids. After Eric’s affair on his wife, I had to find a new podcast. Keep up the good work, excellent podcast!

  • Tim Donaghy not Donahue

    How can we take these guys seriously about the big stuff if they don’t bother getting the smallest and easiest stuff right? One Google search was too much for them before pressing record, so they confidently say “Tim Donahue” over and over with no concern that they’re revealing themselves as half-informed and lazy.

How Sharp Bettors Build NBA Season Simulators | Off Script | Presented by ProphetX
Q: Can you walk us through the boxing/MMA odds example you mentioned and how you think about pricing in a fight like the Astray vs Cejudo match?
He discusses expected outcomes, how to evaluate odds for non-standard matchups, and the importance of credible data sources and historical performance. He suggests a cautious approach to line construction, highlighting that the market often prices in underdog volatility and that one should look for lines that better reflect true probabilities rather than flashy bets.
How Sharp Bettors Build NBA Season Simulators | Off Script | Presented by ProphetX
Q: What are you finding and attacking in live markets with bots or automated price making, and how would you approach such opportunities?
The guest explains that he focuses on structural inefficiencies rather than chasing every minor mispricing. He emphasizes understanding when a price does not reflect the true expected value, using AI-assisted tools to simulate scenarios, and being selective about where automation can reliably identify edges without amplifying risk. He also notes the risk of exploitation and the need for careful testing before deploying any automated strategies.
I Asked the Co-Founder of Our Sponsor the Hard Questions | Presented by ProphetX
Q: What's the bear case for ProphetX and what could go wrong in three years?
The guest candidly outlines risks including potential federal regulation shifts, partner adoption challenges, and competition from entrenched players. Also discussed are the regulatory landscape, possible changes in adoption of the model, and the risk of other market structures not gaining traction, while emphasizing their ongoing efforts to adapt and grow within the current framework.
I Asked the Co-Founder of Our Sponsor the Hard Questions | Presented by ProphetX
Q: Why is ProphetX positioned as a sports-native platform and do you plan to stay sports-focused or expand into other markets?
ProphetX emphasizes its sports-native roots but explains a strategic expansion into crypto markets, culture, and politics to serve as a robust B2B partner. The aim is to provide infrastructure and liquidity for partners across various applications while maintaining a core focus on sports, with plans to broaden the offering through affiliate market making and distribution models.
I Asked the Co-Founder of Our Sponsor the Hard Questions | Presented by ProphetX
Q: What was your background before all of this and how did someone end up co-founding a betting exchange?
The guest describes starting out of college, building a fraternity betting operation, and noticing consumer unfriendliness which led to exploring regulatory options like the UKGC license with Betfair. The core aim was to create a more consumer-friendly platform, which evolved into a prediction market as the business model pivoted around liquidity and compliance rather than pure betting.
