Current Sportsbook Shadiness

@halfkelly of Risk of Ruin Podcast on Spotify has an interesting thread on Twitter about the sportsbooks disallowing sharp bettors from betting into the same lines they allow the bums to bet into. He accuses the books of bum hunting. So far not that long of a thread:

A small snippet

"I say it's a shit show because the sportsbooks cannot manage to keep their story straight for more than about 5 minutes at a time. As an example, here is a video of DK's Jason Robins trying to clarify earlier comments he had made about not wanting winners at DK."

I’ll definitely fire up that podcast tonight.

This kind of financial stress makes businesses do short sighted things.

Never invest in companies you despise.

Facebook is another.

Lotta fun stuff on Risk of Ruin.

Thanks Mickey.

So I’m working thru this podcast series.

Bill Perkins, Andrew “Betfair founder” Black, Rufus Peabody, the Long Term Capital Management story, Barry Greenstein etc. I’m enjoying each one. Bill Perkins I listened to twice. They are all great.

I just saw Mickey Crimm is on deck. Well well well. (I knew Bob Dancer from the Black Jack Ball)
