This week on Circle Back, Jacob, Rob, Kirk, and Jason break down why so many people are confused by betting odds and why the idea that sportsbooks are “shading” lines to trick the public is mostly nonsense. We debunk common myths, explain how odds actually work today, and discuss the smartest way to interpret them if you want to stay ahead of the game. Plus, we recap an insane weekend in sports, from the Australian Open upsets to NHL Stadium Series highlights and the latest NFL coaching news.
Jacob Gramegna hosts the conversation with professional sports bettor Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and special guest Jason Cooper from The Hammer Daily. Expect sharp takes, real betting insight, and a no-nonsense look at the stories everyone’s talking about.
📅 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!
