Biggest mistakes building a first model

We originally asked our audience to send in their sports betting questions through YouTube comments, email, and Discord. The problem? Most of them were terrible. So we did something different: we took every comment from the past year on Circles Off, fed them into ChatGPT, and asked it to generate the 10 questions that every serious sports bettor actually needs answered. The result is a brutally honest, evergreen sports betting Q&A focused on improving your process, avoiding common mistakes, understanding edge, bankroll management, market selection, and what it really takes to become a profitable bettor.

Professional sports bettor Rob Pizzola and basketball originator Kirk Evans break down each question and explain how sharp bettors think differently. If you’re serious about improving at sports betting, this is the test. Let us know in the comments how many you could answer confidently, and subscribe for more sports betting analysis, strategy discussions, and Q&A episodes right here on Circles Off from The Hammer Betting Network.

📅 New episodes of Circle Back every Monday at 1 pm ET and additional content Wednesdays at pm, ranging from interviews with industry experts to educational videos!
