Oddsjam

It’s a podcast I never thought would happen. Alex from Oddsjam joins Arch to discuss EVERYTHING. Alex went from investments to sports betting and knows a thing or two about being limited by the books. He approaches betting from the ultimate mathematical perspective. You may find yourself agreeing or disagreeing, but you will learn quite a bit from this chat.

Topics Discussed

Line shopping and why it might be the biggest indicator of success or failure by most gamblers.
Arbitrage bets, can you avoid being “noticed” by the sportsbooks? Is there anything you can do to avoid being limited by the books?
Positive expected value. What is it and how can we find it?
No vig lines. Are they accurate? What can we learn from them?
Closing line value. How important is it?
Where do baby lines come from? Do the “less” sharp books really care about being out of step with the big boys?
Alex gets a little controversial when discussing reverse line movements/”trappy” lines.
Managing your money?
Betting on the NFL advice.
