Articles and blogs
Betting at Betfair
Betfair’s written content is recommended 3 times. Professional golf bettor, Brady Kannon (ep 44) particularly recommends the golf content from Dave Tindall and Steven Rawlings.
Pinnacle Betting Resources
Pinnacle’s written content is recommended 3 times. Shaun Beirne (ep 1) particularly recommends Joseph Buchdal’s articles, who was the guest on episode 48.
Covers
The US sports betting content website is recommended 4 times, although 3 of those were by people who wrote for it. One of those was Parlay Queen Monique (ep 38) who displayed low betting acumen.
Covers is specifically not recommended by data driven professional bettor Rob Pizzola (ep 50). His criticism is that the content is short term trend based, which is just searching for patterns in randomness.
Data and tipping services
Ken-Pom
The Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings is recommended 3 times.
This is a great place to start for NCCA basketball betting. However, because so many people are already using Ken-Pom you won’t find an edge using it on its own.
Champion Bets
Champion Bets is an Australian horse racing and sports tipping service that is recommended 3 times, although 2 of those were by guests who worked there.
Odds comparisons
Odds comparisons in general are widely recommended. Dynamic Odds gets a couple of mentions.
Podcasts and videos
The Bill Simons Podcast
This US sports podcast is recommended 3 times.
The Racing Rant
Formerly known as The Punters Show this Australian horse racing website and YouTube series is recommended 3 times, although 2 of those were by guests who worked there.
Academic papers
Rational Decision-Making Under Uncertainty
This important paper is recommended 4 times. It demonstrates how bad people are at gambling due to not understanding probability, randomness and risk (the books on the professional gambler’s reading list can cure you of that).
Bill Benter – Computer Based Horse Race Handicapping and Wagering Systems
Bill Benter is an incredibly successful data driven horse racing gambler who made $1 billion betting on Hong Kong horse racing with computer programs that were years ahead of their time.
He is mentioned with admiration 3 times but no specific source is referenced, here is his most cited academic paper, the best article, and the best videos [1] [2] I found.
