The crew on Circle Back reacts to the latest wave of national media coverage around sports betting, including a recent piece from The Atlantic that sparked debate across gambling Twitter. The panel discusses whether these stories are genuinely trying to explore the problems within the industry or if they’re being produced with the intention of villainizing sports betting altogether. From misleading narratives to misunderstandings about how the market actually works, the group breaks down where they think the media continues to get it wrong.

Later, the crew responds after Kelly In Vegas clapped back on Twitter following criticism of her betting content on last week’s show. The discussion turns into a broader conversation about modern betting media, content quality, and accountability within sports betting Twitter. To close things out, the panel reacts to a viral Jeff Nadu tweet and satirically debates whether it’s time to start teaching kids how to gamble in a world where betting is now everywhere.

Hosted by Jacob Gramegna, this episode of Circle Back features professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer Rob Pizzola, sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg, and special guest Jason Cooper of The Hammer Daily filling in for basketball originator Kirk Evans.

📅 New episodes of Circle Back every Monday at 1pm ET and Friday at 8am ET. Plus, watch for additional content every Wednesday, ranging from interviews with industry experts to instructional videos!
