Episode notes
INSIGHT

AI Becomes The New Baseline

  • AI tools quickly move from advantage to table stakes in betting markets as adoption spreads.
  • That shift will compress mid-tier edges and amplify returns for top operators who scale AI best.
ADVICE

Don't Leave Live Orders Open

  • Avoid leaving orders posted through live events unless you have the fastest feeds and market-making infrastructure.
  • Learn from getting burned once or twice and then never forget to manage live exposure.
ADVICE

Use AI To Build Tools, Not To Pick

  • Use AI as a productivity tool to build and glue other tools, not as a sole decision-maker for picks.
  • Leverage AI to code, automate sims, and close knowledge gaps rather than ask it to tell you what to bet.
