Episode notes
Use Mixed Strategies To Hide Edges
- Prime accounts like poker: mix value bets with intentional 'bluffs' so your footprint stays unclear to traders.
- Use cheap, plausible volume and blockers to mask recurring edges across books.
Start Modeling Small With AI Help
- Learn modeling by making small concrete steps: price one market by hand, then translate it into Excel or AI prompts.
- Use granular AI queries to teach specific formulas and iterate with real bets for feedback.
Rorts: Consistent Mispricing Sources
- 'Rorts' are markets with clear, large mispricings caused by model failures or categorization errors.
- International basketball and some SGP mispricings consistently produced the Shipper's steady profits.
