Thanks to the original BPR for his approval.
We're going to steal the pod rating gimmick b/c it's a very good idea & someone should do it.
Grading scale attached. Assume I will be handing out a lot of 4-6s, but we'll see. If there's a pod you want reviewed, ping me.
Risk of Ruin - Trial and Error - 9.5/10
Clearing out backlog, 2.5 months delayed but needed posting. Shipper recommended, incredible episode as so many of you already know. If the concrete examples given here don't get your brain firing, nothing will.

Risk Takers - Ep 125 - Maple - 8.5/10
A month late (I'm clearing the notes backlog), but if you missed this one, you should go back & make sure you mark as listened. Great stories, great talk about correlations, good exchange/PM talk. Great episode.

Risk Takers Pod - Ep 129 - Richard Munchkin- 8/10
Highly entertaining pod. V funny story @ 22:40 & ends with an absolute hilarious story. Not a ton of sports betting talk, but who cares. RM on the monument of the GOATs of gambling content, great listen.

Very important podcast just so much history that was documented over the 6 years. Some of the interviews will never be replicated. Exactly 100 episodes I think. Some episodes too important to lose so quickly scraped all pods & have archived just in case. Well done Spanky.
Haven’t dropped a new @BeBetterBettors in over 6 months…
I’ve said most of what I’ve had to say.
I’ve had on most of the guests I’ve wanted to have on.
I think it’s time to officially announce the end of the podcast.
Hope you became better bettors.
Thanks for listening.
Circles Off - Ep 188 - Elf (yElff_) - 7.5/10
Really enjoyed & pod flipped a lot of my perception on Elf. 1st 20 minutes you learn a ton about the person which I enjoyed, rest is about the Spaces which I don't share much of his outlook, but I understand his PoV/difficulties.
Circles Off - Ep 190? - Gambling Qs Nobody Would Answer - 7.25/10
25:50 becoming a mover is the best section in an enjoyable Q&A pod. Said it before, Knish and Rob have very good chemistry, very entertaining for a Q&A pod. Do pictures of juiced up Knish exist?
Be Better Bettors - Don't Give Him A Penny - 6/10
Spanky goes through the @_Spraguer
#YesAllTouts flowchart. Spanky has a different reach than #cville so useful reference pod. More for newer bettors still undecided on the topic, old hat for vets. #NoEdRepliesPlease
To supplement the pod review, I had some thoughts I wanted to add.
I write all the time. Most of it never sees the light of day. I wrote most of this after the Ferris blog. I know the circle jerk will be too much for many, but I hit publish for once.

Coming out of the NFL season charting pause to review one pod and one pod only. Have a feeling this pod will be provocative, get the people going.
🚨 Big interview dropping this Thursday on @CirclesOffHQ 🚨
You won’t want to miss this one... insights, stories, and commentary that could change the way you think about sports betting. Get ready for something special.

Circles Off - Ep 165 - PropDude7 - 7/10
open.spotify.com/episode/42k…
Best sections - 13:30 on scaling/MLB All-Star game concept, 35:40 spotting frauds. Enjoyed PD7's answers - well structured, thought out, had a different impression from Discord. Enjoyed a lot.
Housekeeping - Still have so many more to post. Trying to post NFL pods more timely, but this endeavor is all 9 circles of Dante's Hell.
Possibly implementing a yt-dlp > whisper-mlx > LLM approach to increase volume & efficiency but we'll see how accurate it is, but testing now.
Circles Off - Joey Tunes Part 2 - 7.5/10
open.spotify.com/episode/3jt…
Very good. Not a ton of explicit detail, but plenty here that I haven't heard elsewhere - unique & v thought provoking. Have to respect the op & scale. Entertaining too. Listen to know who is moving your markets.
Errata - h/t @AudacityOfHoops there is a decimal typo - it's won $5k on $1.8 mill in wagers.
Bet the Process - Nate Silver New Book - 7/10

This is a wild ride. Rufus great q on future risk, some wild misrepresentation of Seth Burn's tracking, great pushback by Jeff on Nate re: old position on prediction markets.
BBK Ep 140 - Seth Burn Live & In Color - NG
youtube.com/watch?v=dQ1WvhUH…
No grade b/c more a general football pod than strictly a betting pod, but we review BBK pods. Good season preview, supplements Seth's great preview blog posts this year. Thanks for the tee shirt shoutout.

Bet the Process - Jeffrey Benson - 6.5/10

We like Jeff, we like Circa, not a ton actionable for bettors, but there's value in knowing prob one of the better personalities on the other side of counter.
Stay for the hilarious psyop by AD on Rufus at end
Bet the Process - Isaac Rose-Berman - 5/10

IBR v bright young voice that we'll likely hear more about in the next 5-10 years than some boomer like me. Not a ton here though, think hosts thought he was doing more data driven origination & pivoted nicely.
