  • 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.

The Open Championship with Justin Ray | Sponsored by Novig
Q: What are some key insights from applying analytics to Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup selections beyond just picking the best players?
Ray discusses looking at the event in totality, considering ripple effects across sessions, environmental conditions, ball types, and the balance between data-driven picks and human judgment, with examples ofLate-season adjustments and practice round observations shaping decisions.
The Open Championship with Justin Ray | Sponsored by Novig
Q: My question to you is, how did this come about?
Ray explains the pathway from his work in major championships and college golf analytics to joining Solheim Cup efforts, describing a collaborative approach with captains and vice captains, and emphasizing how data and soft information are melded to put players in the best position.
Bill Connelly Talks the Other Football | Sponsored by Novig
Q: What do you think about Mbappe's role within France's system and how it affects their World Cup chances?
Mbappe is a major asset in a system that leverages his speed and moments of individual brilliance, but his effectiveness depends on how the team structures pressing and transitions; a more passive system can maximize his impact by reducing the need for constant pressing.
U.S. Open with Joseph LaMagna | Sponsored by Novig
Q: What type of player does Shinnecock favor given the wind and greens?
Iron players with precise ball control and good short game, who can flight the ball and adapt to variable wind; distance alone isn't enough.
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.
