The psychology of betting. Ep.6

10/27/22 • 55 min

Betting and data analyst Joseph Buchdahl has written four books on betting and the psychology surrounding it, here he talks to Andrew & Mark. They discuss the “wisdom of the crowd” (and how you can profit from it); losing runs and how to deal with them; why winning punters will have bad spells and should expect them; what separates a good and average bettor; the mentality needed to maintain a clear head through inevitable poor spells; why losing punters keep on betting; the short-cut to working out if a sports advisor knows what they're doing.
For anyone who ever places a bet, this is worth listening and learning from.
