Beating the Book with Gil Alexander. A once-a-week football season staple. Daly approved.
I have previously admitted to suffering a bit of sexual confusion over Gil Alexander. Serious man-crush. My favorite sports listen - bar none.
I haven’t given sports any attention for weeks. I happened to tune in to get an update on the various league’s resumption. I was rewarded instead with Ray Marino from Bookmaker.eu. He runs live wagering for Bookmaker in normal times.
To get an offshore book to talk publicly is historic shit. Thought I’d share.

The audio started off dreadful. Skip to 6:50.
Spook, you mention resorting to Korean baseball. I posted a bit about my Russian table tennis exploits. Look, anything obscure is likely to offer better opportunity (edge) than say, NFL or NBA. I took a look and found the live wagering algorithm was fucking retarded. I mean they sometimes forgot to even update. Tremendous fun. Gradually, I was not able to bet. Either they shut me off or they recognized how messed up it was.
Bookmaker said that the Russian Table Tennis write was bigger on a daily basis than MLB. WTF. . I stumble bummed into the biggest corona action. Ray Marino said table tennis kept Bookmaker alive. Period.
Marino said he was terrified about fixing. I wrote that I saw some ridiculous lines and outcomes. Here are players making very little in a sport with a huge handle. I didn’t know it at the time. I just posted that odds seemed wrong with certain dogs. The whole experience was god-like cause it was often clear who was going to win but the live odds were rigidly tethered to the preflop odds.
I still remember the players names.
@24:00 Table tennis
@27:20 “A day of table tennis was bigger than a day of baseball”
He talks about writing live odds on NFL replays. Never knew about this offering. Sick action. There is truly no edge on either side cause NFL rules are a coin-flip and the definition of variance. Ray Marino admits to this.
Marino talked about the simulated games like Madden and the stock market offering.
The whole pod is a must listen if you take bookmaking serious.
