Episode notes
ADVICE

Make Night Work Your Edge

  • Build a nightly routine: monitor games, compile idea lists, research, then execute early when lines first appear.
  • Bet early overnight to capture 'first pick' before sharps and models prime the market.
ADVICE

React To Market Impact, Not Just Facts

  • Treat all news as relevant if it moves markets, including fake or mistaken reports.
  • If misinformation skews action, bet the other side when the market misprices because of it.
INSIGHT

Pick Small Inlets, Not The Continent

  • Use the coastline paradox: smaller bettors should measure narrow market inlets, not entire continents.
  • Calvin prefers props because they are the least efficiently measured markets given his scale and time investment.
