Episode 3: Market Efficiency, Synthetic CLV, and Bet Sizing

03/13/24 • 50 min

Daniel and Chone give their takes on sports betting market efficiency then offer their opinions on a couple hot debate topics in the +EV community: synthetic CLV and whether or not the Kelly Criterion is a reliable framework for bet sizing. There's plenty of disagreement between the hosts in this episode so we'd love to hear what our listeners think in the comments or on social media!
