This week on Circle Back, we break down some of the worst sports betting advice currently circulating on Gambling Twitter. The crew reacts to a viral strategy suggesting bettors should blindly fade steam moves in low-liquidity mid-major college basketball games, and explains why sportsbooks adjusting to sharp action does NOT suddenly create value on the other side. We also discuss bankroll management advice encouraging bettors to constantly withdraw profits instead of allowing their bankroll and unit size to scale properly, and debate a controversial take dismissing the importance of closing line value (CLV) as a core indicator of long-term betting success. Plus, we round up some of the latest viral moments, arguments, and drama from Gambling Twitter this week.
Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and is part of Circles Off on The Hammer Betting Network. This episode features Joey Knish alongside Porter from BA Analytics and Chinamaniac as the panel breaks down the latest conversations, debates, and controversies happening across Gambling Twitter.
📅 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!
