Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: I am Chad Noman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I am joined as always by my BFF, my companion

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Professional Better, Simon Hunter. Simon. We're gonna pick up right

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: where we left off, and we talked about this all

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: year long, and I think a lot of people would

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: be interested to hear your perspective on it. But NFL

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: is the hardest thing because it's a sport. Everybody is betting,

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: and in professional betting, a lot of guys they make

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: their money in the sports no one's paying attention to.

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: They're betting tennis, they're betting baseball, they're bett in college hoops,

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: they're betting w n b A. Why bet the NFL?

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Why focus on that? Is a professional better? I get

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: paid the most, and that's not course. Football is king.

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: And if I want to get a hundred K down

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: on a football game on Sunday, no problem. If I

37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: want to get a hundred K down an NBA game

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, almost impossible. It's like the NFL books

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: are so happy to take big money because they want

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: to balance the books, and what do pros do? We

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: bet the books so like professionals, that's the hardest sport.

42
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Like they hate me. They don't want me in their betting.

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: So like with runners, that's why I love New Jersey

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: so much. It's like I can have a runner with

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: twenty online accounts. Biggest can't even compare. That's why I

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: like again, I don't want to shoot on pros to

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: live in Vegas. Plenty of the guys I worked was

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: still live there. They can't touch betting a New Jersey

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: is professional. It's like if you're a sports better, this

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: is heaven. There's so many sports books. They all want

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: your money, especially someone like me who just bets home dogs.

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: So if you're someone like me, that that's professionally and

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: you bet NFL, which it's the hardest sport, like Chad

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: is soluted to. It's it's very hard. College basketball, women's basketball,

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: that's money maker right there. Like pros. I know they

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: do want women's basketball, some of them at but they

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: can't get down more than a thousand, two thousands certain books,

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: and they get banned constantly. They're runners. They're just some nobody.

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: Some book. Some books won't take more than than that

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: because it's just like they don't want to have too

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: much exposure to women's basketball. Chad just talked about. I

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: asked Bob, how can I make the most money in this,

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Like what's the best thing to do? Like what sport?

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: And he told me what's the easiest sports? He told

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: me what the hardest sports and which ones I can

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: make the most money from. He said, like NFL it's hard,

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: but when you get the right system, it's really easy,

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Like once you figure it out and you kind of

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: get to kind of get it going. And again it

70
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: depends on every season because it's always changing. Football is

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: always evolving. But yeah, for me, it was definitely a

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: money thing where it's like I can get paid the

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: most from clients and it's the it's like the biggest sport.

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Like if I have a hundred clients, ninety of them

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: that NFL, maybe three of them that cricket and the

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: cricket girls. She makes a ton of money betting, But

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: there just isn't the demand, you know what I mean.

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: There's just like people just don't have the same kind

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: of interest for those kind of things. We had a

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of questions about Parlays. We would talk about money line,

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Parlay's money Line Underdog Parlays in the show a lot.

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I went back and did the math on my betting

83
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: throughout the year. And this is tying in a lot

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: of what we talked about earlier, because it's about getting

85
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: to know yourself as a better and what makes you

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: comfortable and getting back to basics as you talked about

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: after a couple of things like getting in your head.

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: If not for the money line Underdog Parlays, I kept

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: chasing like I would have made so much more money.

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: And so you know, tell people the folly and the

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: joy of Parlays. Good idea, bad idea. This is to

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: the most basic gambler. Yes, never be a parley for

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. You won't listen though, because

94
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: parleys are fun, so there's no real point in me

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: going into it. But yeah, it's if you're if you're

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: betting a hundred on a game straight like football example,

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: you like doing them Patriots, you bet a hunding them straight.

98
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: That's great. If you want to do a parley with

99
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the Jaguars and all these other

100
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: teams thrown together, don't do more than five ten bucks,

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: like you're just every team you add, your number goes

102
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: down so much of winning. So I do parleys a

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of time. I would say for our money line

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: round robin thing we do with the underdogs, that's more.

105
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: That's safe. You're paying for these underdogs because if you

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: just go to for three, you're gonna get your money

107
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: back in a little more. If you go for for

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: one on those money one underdog part like Brown Robbins,

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: that's crazy money. So I always tell people not to

110
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: do parley's, but I do them too because they're fun.

111
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I just do it for such small, small, small amounts.

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: If I do twenty, you know, sixteen game parlays every

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: season every Sunday, like I'll you know, if I go

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: to sports but ill full a card out and do

115
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: like a five dollar or whatever it is, you're not

116
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: been at to make money. So the hardest part of

117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: my job is this is a free show. When you're

118
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: doing a free show, people are always going to listen

119
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: to this and be like, Okay, if I'm gonna do

120
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: my own thing, I'm gonna trust myself, which I am

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: completely supportive of. It's your own money. When people pay

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: for my picks like win or lose, they're gonna ride

123
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: with me, which is great because usually we're gonna win.

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: They're not gonna right of me one bad week and

125
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: then the next week take off because I lost the

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: last week, and then all of a sudden, I go

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: four now and they go, I want to bet with

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: him now. Then I go whatever, two and three and

129
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: they're like, well, I could have gone and three. So

130
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: that's that's the constant fight with this kind of job,

131
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: with doing a free show like this, where my clients

132
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: like they're just it's all good all the time, Like

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: even when I lose, they're just so supportive. They're just

134
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: such good people. So I definitely think it's different when

135
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: you're paying for fix, but it's it's just more like,

136
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, people listen to this show and it's kind

137
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: of like a guy like, I'm not always gonna be

138
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: right like I wish I could be, but this is

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: a real show with real picks, Like if we can

140
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: go about fifty percent, that's that's that's what I'm hoping

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: for this show, because yeah, we take a lot of underdogs,

142
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: and that's that's the key to doing what we do

143
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: is take underdogs. Covington Masmadog. The rivalry will be renewed

144

176
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: mentioned this a few times. You have a client list

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: people paying for picks. People are asking on Twitter what

178
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: is it tout you talked about that one of the

179
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: guys you used to work with started selling picks outside

180
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: sort of the the guidelines that are established by your syndicate.

181
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: It's a very nuanced difference. Explain the difference between being

182
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: a tout and having a client list. Alright, So a

183
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: tow would be these people listening, like it would be

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: if you're on social media, any type of social media,

185
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: and you are giving someone your money for their picks

186
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: and return. Which again, I I know people hate touts

187
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: and are bad about them, but I'm a big believer

188
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and if you're good at something, you never do it

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: for free. Now you have types which it don't matter

190
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: if you win or lose. You just selling the story

191
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: that you know, go NBA, but the nets playing against

192
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: the sixers and you know, bet the six years he'll

193
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: show whatever ticket wins. Okay, you you'll only pay them once.

194
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: But that's all he really cares about was getting that money.

195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: So someone like me, it's a little different where you know,

196
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: I could easily sell picks with people online. People offer

197
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: me money constantly. I like being free, but I'm sure someday,

198
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: why am I putting in eighty hours of work just

199
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: to post free pick on the internet. It's like, I

200
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: I make so much more money betting than anything I

201
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: could make doing in media. Like I do love media,

202
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: but like, am I gonna make a million a year

203
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: doing talk shows? And it's that I have no idea

204
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: but probably not. But selling picks, dude, like I could

205
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: make probably a million bucks. I mean, you're give me

206
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: such a big platform now, you know, if I just

207
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: wanted to charge a couple of hundred a weekend, I

208
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: can make really good money. But I just don't want

209
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: to do that because I'm make enough sports betting as this,

210
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: and I'm already selling picks to a group of people.

211
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: So do I have any issue coming out here any times?

212
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Do my biggest bets and things like that. No, because

213
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: I've already bet them. So it's like it's not like

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: I'm going against my group I give out bets. I

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: still giving out my bets to my clients first, but

216
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: then I come on and do it. But my advice

217
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: to people just don't pay for fix. There's so much

218
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: free information out there where if you're on these people

219
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: that you're gonna bet what you believe anyway, Like you're

220
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: that stubborn. You think you know what you're doing. Regardless,

221
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: listen all these free podcasts. Actual Network has like five

222
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: football shows. Like, there's so many different places that give

223
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: you better information. Finally, who you like and who you trust,

224
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: who you kind of disagree with, because the first step

225
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: that coming a good sports better is realizing you don't

226
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: know anything. I don't care if you watch football every

227
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: Sunday you know every player's name. It's irrelevant. It's truly

228
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: irrelevant to what we're doing because we're just betting numbers.

229
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: We're not really betting names and faces like that. So

230
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: I just want people to be where paying picks because

231
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: of things like that. This relates to two things that

232
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about our final two topics for

233
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: part two of our podcast about answering your questions and

234
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: sort of pulling back the curtain a little bit on

235
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: the business. The first part is a lot people ask

236
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: what books should you read? And I think it relates

237
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: to you sort of talking about information. And the second

238
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: part is what habits are good and bad. I like

239
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: talking about the books because the books, I think lead

240
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: to how you think about it, how I think about it.

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: So if you have thoughts on and you mentioned sort

242
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: of listening to podcasts. It can be podcasts to the

243
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: material that you look at to help you informed decision

244
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: making and become a better analyst of risk, like I don't. Again,

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: it's not that I don't care about other people's opinions.

246
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: I just usually don't listen to anyone else's opinions during

247
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: football season because I don't want anything to screw with

248
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: my head, Like I already have enough pros calling me

249
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: giving me their crazy ass opinions and other ship they

250
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: want to talk about. Like there's some Betty shows that like,

251
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: I used to try to listen to some, but I

252
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: just didn't do it because it was just irked me

253
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: so much where it's like these guys are just talking

254
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: out there. So for books, I have a weird approach

255
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: to it where it's like, honestly, I've read a lot

256
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: of history books. I'm into like War two stuff, and

257
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of Navy steal books like about discipline, because

258
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: I think that's like, more than anything else, if it's

259
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: the most important thing to sports swetting is to discipline.

260
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: It's a very emotional thing. Like I have a system

261
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: and the I tried to go against him me and Chad,

262
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the rest of my life. Unfortunately,

263
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs to go against the Bengals,

264
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: and it was like, not that I got two emotional,

265
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: but I definitely let it get the best of me

266
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: where it's like I should have just trusted my number,

267
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: trusting my system, taking a good number at seven and

268
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: a half of the Bangals, but I was just like, no,

269
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: like they're the most overhyped, old rated team that since

270
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna roll, so I would definitely say I've learned

271
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: from all these different books. It's like, if you're gonna

272
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: read read books, Chad's gonna give you some good gambling stuff. Here.

273
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: To me, it's a lot of mental stuff, so I

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: don't want to get too weird, like are the War.

275
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of different old school books you can

276
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: read that it's just good for your mental habits. That's

277
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: just as important as good good gambling information. Well, it's

278
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: interesting because I was gonna say the same thing, and

279
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: you and I didn't discuss this before we started the podcast.

280
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: But I don't read a lot of gambling books. You

281
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: know they are, there are good ones out there. There's

282
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: like the Logic of sports betting right by a guy

283
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: named Ed Miller. Really good sports betting book. There's a

284
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: great old book by Larry Merchant, who a lot of

285
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: older people will remember as the boxing analysts for HBO

286
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: for years. He did a book called The National Football Lottery,

287
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: which is as relevant today as it was when he

288
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: wrote it. In the nineteen seventy two he took thirty

289
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: dollars of in advance and spent the football season betting

290
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: to see how well he could do with it. But

291
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: I like the books I read are tangential to betting,

292
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: and they are about how people process decision making and

293
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: analyze risk. So the book Thinking Fast and Slow by

294
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Kaneman is a book that I read. The Undoing

295
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Project by Michael Lewis, which was about Kaneman and his

296
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: partner in education in economic theory, uh and sort of

297
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: their relationship, is a book that I read and liked

298
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot. It's it's you know, even Moneyball by Michael

299
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Lewis sort of makes you think about decision making in

300
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: an entirely different way. Hey, Chad, it's Matt Mitchell jumping

301
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: in really quick. I did ask around at Action Network

302
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: to see if anybody there had book recommendations. I do

303
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of the people that asked this question

304
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: also wanted baseball books for the summer that related to betting,

305
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: and the four recommendations I received internally were Scorecasting by

306
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Tobias Moscowitz, Trading Basis by Joe Peter, The Only Rule

307
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: It Has to Work by Ben Lindberg and Sam Miller,

308
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: and also Fooled by Randomness by see Nicholas Talb. There's

309
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: actual great book. I can't remember who wrote it. I'm

310
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: going to look it up what we're talking, but there's

311
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: a book called Traffic. It's all about um, how we

312
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: drive and how it leads to different how it reveals

313
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: different kind of decision making, and a lot is by

314
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Tom Vanderbilt. A lot of it ends up being about

315
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: pack decision making and following the crowds, and traffic is

316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: the most literal interpretation of that right. The reason why

317
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: traffic gens end up happening oftentimes on highways is because

318
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: people start merging too early and they don't use the

319
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: entirety of the road that is available, So you get antsy.

320
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: You merge as soon as you get sort of onto

321
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: the on ramp instead of going to the very end

322
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: where you get to keep the traffic flowing for as

323
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: long as possible, and then these traffic jams start. Right. So,

324
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: the idea of understanding how people make group decisions and

325
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: then trying to find a way to think differently about

326
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: that is as helpful for making for for sort of

327
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: developing good habits about betting as it is just reading

328
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: hey bet this? Uh that Actually I find to be

329
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: a lot less helpful when trying to exist in this

330
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: space and make good decisions in the space, which at

331
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: least a one final thing simon, what are your good habits?

332
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: What are your bad habits? Oh? Man, I would say obsession,

333
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Like if you're obsessed with what you do and you

334
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: love it, I feel like, again you always have to

335
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: take time off, like like your boy right now, But

336
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: like when you're committed to something, you go all in

337
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: and you take time for loved ones everything like that.

338
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: But it's like that habit of being obsessed with things Again,

339
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: it could be it can be bad, like you can

340
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: let your life get out of control. Sometimes you have

341
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: to keep it, keep it a little contained. But it's like,

342
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, we all have purpose and readers in life

343
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: and who knows the real purpose while we're here. But

344
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: it's like once I started getting into the lab quote unquote,

345
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: like really get into the numbers, and once my my

346
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: my model started working out, it's like I'm I just

347
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: started feeling like that feeling I'm exactly where I'm supposed

348
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: to be, Like I didn't feel like I was doing work,

349
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: even I was working eight hours eight hours a week.

350
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: It felt like I was having fun. And my biggest

351
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: habit during the season is Chad knows I'm always checking lines.

352
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: I'll wake up at the middle of the middle of

353
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: the night just roll over and just scroll through different

354
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: books and lines and just see what movement, what's happening,

355
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: checking messages, And it's like a good habit to me.

356
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: People would be not just to be positive about everything,

357
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: but it honestly helps me so much of what I

358
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: do with my job. Where it's like the Chad talked

359
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: a little bit about my worst bets, like I can't lie,

360
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Like those are miserable dark days, like you lose a

361
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: ton of your own money and you're losing other people's

362
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: money that have been trusted you with a device, like

363
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: it would be like me telling you buy a big

364
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: time stock and a stock going to zero, it's like

365
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: the worst feeling in the world. I've just lost people

366
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: who's really harder and money. There's a lot of habits

367
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: in life, and I think that's a great thing about sports,

368
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: being a lot of it goes together. Half the people

369
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: that listen to this are gonna be forever chasing and

370
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: like that depresses the hell out of it makes me

371
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: super sad, But that's just it. They're either there are

372
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: a psychopath or they're just stubborn, and it's like, no

373
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: matter what, they're gonna keep doing what they do. You know,

374
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: if you know that we've had good years, we've had

375
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: good layup fronts, it's like they don't matter. They're always

376
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: just like, ah, this guy's a phony, nada da data.

377
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: It's that's that's probably the toughest thing where it's like

378
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: you gotta break habits to make that happen. So for

379
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: bad habits, I mean a lot of there's a lot

380
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: of obviously a lot of bad habs first betting, but

381
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: the worst one obviously is chasing. Like again, I've gone

382
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: I've gone to zero a bunch of times in my life.

383
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: You don't dwell on it. It's like you just you

384
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: just learned from it and then try to try to

385
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: change from that. It's like, stop putting a Harvard stunt

386
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: of your bank go into these bets. Like that's something

387
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: I had to learn early on because they'd be like,

388
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: say I was at ten K and all of a

389
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: sudden that five K because I had had ten bad

390
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: bets and I lost five K. I would just take

391
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: off five K and put it on one game and

392
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: be like, now I'm gonna double my money on this.

393
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: It don't work like that. It's just so hard to

394
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: do those kind of things. So, yeah, definitely bad habits.

395
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: Number one for me is people step chasing. Like, I

396
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: know you're sitting there right now, listen to this. Please

397
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: turn the page, start over. That money's gone. Stop chasing. Yeah, Chasing,

398
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: to me is the single worst thing you can do

399
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: as a better I mentioned earlier that Chargers Chiefs game.

400
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: I was totally chasing. I was aunty, I was upset

401
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: all those bad habits. It had been a bad weekend.

402
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: You're frustrated because you feel like you're doing good math,

403
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: you're doing the right things, and they're not going your way.

404
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: There are moments where after a betting weekend where it's

405
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: a Monday or Tuesday, and I'm still thinking about it

406
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: if it's gone bad, and I think to myself, be

407
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a fucking professional, Like, obviously I'm not a professional better,

408
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: but I've been doing it long enough to know that

409
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm not the guy who is betting more than I

410
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: can afford, which is the second thing, and being I'm

411
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: not the guy who can't shake it off and it

412
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: feels like I have to chase to make my money back.

413
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: If you're doing this, We've talked about this so many times.

414
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: If you're doing this, hopefully you're listening to this podcast,

415
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: it's because you're doing it for the enjoyment and to

416
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: do it for a long period of time. It's not

417
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: because you think you're gonna get rich, right, And I

418
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: say this to my kids all the time, because we'll

419
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: talk about betting, and it's a scary thing to talk

420
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: about betting with your kids. I remind them their college

421
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: funds aren't at risk. That we're not at risk of

422
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: not having food on the table, We're not at risk

423
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: of not being able to pay for the house. Like

424
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: we're doing it because we like the enjoyment. We're gonna

425
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: make smart decisions and if we lose a weekend, it's okay.

426
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: It's only pride. Like that's it right. Where where you

427
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: get in trouble is when you chase, when you overbet,

428
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: you try to make it back all at once. Like

429
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: you never hear anyone out of Action network talking about

430
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: trying to make it back all at once. These are

431
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: people who've been doing it for years. They bet a

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: very specific part of their bank roll. They know what

433
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: they're doing. Those are the lessons you take away. I

434
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: would say, those are the bad habits the good habit.

435
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: The one thing I would add is you have to

436
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: doing of work. Put enough work in, whether it's the

437
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: obsessive level that Simon is at or sort of the

438
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: daily level that I'm at, to understand what you're comfortable betting.

439
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: And I don't mean the money. I mean everyone is

440
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: good at something right. Everyone feels like athletically, oh you've

441
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: really good aim, or you've always been good at shooting

442
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: a basketball, or you can throw a great spiral, or

443
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: you've got great hand eye coordination, or you can put

444
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is, the same thing and betting, there's certain

445
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: markets that you're gonna be more comfortable betting it, and

446
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: it takes you time to figure out how your mind thinks,

447
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: what your analysis tells you, so you truly understand what

448
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: you should be betting and where you're going to be comfortable.

449
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: And then, like when you should be tailing someone because

450
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: you feel like they're smart and you've got a little

451
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: bit on the side that you're comfortable betting, you should

452
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: with the majority of your money and make the majority

453
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: of your bets in the markets where you feel like

454
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: you've unlocked an advantage in some way. We talked about

455
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: all the time. Simon and I love home underdogs. We

456
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: love betting against the public. We love seeing how numbers

457
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,000
