On this episode of The Football Analytics Show, I talk with Gadoon Kyrollos, better known as Spanky on Twitter. He’s a professional sports bettor who was recently profiled on The Ringer.
Among other topics, we discuss:
- How Spanky transitioned from the financial world to sports betting (1:53)
- His approach to sports betting; the differences with what you normally hear may surprise you (3:08)
- How sports books treat sharp bettors (12:37)
- A metaphor for the business model of different sports books (17:09)
- The Spanky test for whether you’re a good sports bettor (26:33). If you listen to any segment of this podcast, pick this one.
Spanky was incredibly generous in discussing his business, and I think you’ll find the conversation fascinating whether you bet on sports or not.
