After discussing technical betting topics in part 1, this segment covers more 'practical' subjects as we start by touching upon issues such as barriers to profitable betting, cryptocurrencies and how the betting ecosystem is changing around the world. Jose and I then go on to discuss questions that are regularly fired our way here at the SBC around betting with soft bookmakers, sharp bookmakers and exchanges in the most efficient ways possible.

In the first part of a 'double header' for SBC Podcast Episode #83 I was joined by Jose, one of the most informed and well-connected betting people that I know of.

I have a fascinating guest in Episode 64 in the form of Nick Goff who has been a professional football bettor for the past 7 years. Nick works as part of a football betting syndicate and is one of a group of experts who bet and win extensively on the beautiful game.

So what Nick shares is really insightful and a rare peek behind the curtain of what it's like to be in ..read more
