  • Love how Rufus ignores sponsors

    Fun listen, smart perspectives. Rufus is clearly a heavy Kalshi user while novig sponsoring the pod is hilarious

  • Get better audio

    What I could hear sounded well reasoned and informed, however the poor audio quality makes it borderline unlistenable.

  • Not great by any measure.

    It’s so bad it’s good - that is the only explanation for anyone listening to this podcast frequently enough to justify doing so… On an entirely different note, Ma is great on the TK pod!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Teaching a College Course on Sports Betting with Ron Yurko | Sponsored by Novig
Q: What were some surprising findings from the student projects and the overall learning outcomes?
Students showed varied risk behaviors; many wagered conservatively, while a small fraction wagered aggressively, and a few used model-based approaches to exploit market inefficiencies, illustrating how education changes attitudes toward risk.

Q: How did you structure the course content and what roles did you and your co-instructor have?
I focused on the statistical and modeling side, while my neuroscience co-instructor covered brain processes and addiction pathways, creating an interdisciplinary approach to betting education.
Teaching a College Course on Sports Betting with Ron Yurko | Sponsored by Novig
Q: Tell us a little about the class you launched at CMU and what you were trying to accomplish, especially for freshmen.
We designed a first-year seminar that links statistics and probability with betting behavior, using a fake sportsbook to give students hands-on experience with modeling, data collection, and evaluating bets in a controlled setting.
PGA Championship Recap with Michael Kim | Sponsored by Novig
Q: What are the next two-year goals for you and how do you plan to get there?
Kim outlines three main aims—PGA Tour win, top-10 in majors, and leading the Presence/Ryder Cup teams—emphasizing steady, step-by-step progression rather than chasing high-variance plays.
PGA Championship Recap with Michael Kim | Sponsored by Novig
Q: Do you think that they should have, like you said in the practice rounds, they just stuck the pins in the middle of the green. Should they have given you a preview of what you might see?
Kim suggests that while scoutable pin locations are standard, the greens were so large that there could be multiple viable pin sets, and more varied previews might have helped but wouldn't fully prepare players for the aggressive or skewed pin positions on game days.
