HoS: Eric Rubin, Pro Sports Gambler

Dirty secrets of a cynical industry revealed
22

Eric (@HLinsight) is a real life pro sports gambler. He also has profound reservations about sports gambling’s introduction to the mainstream. I can confidently say that the conversation you’re about to listen to isn’t happening at any of the other mainstream sports media sites. This is a candid look at why betting sports, as fun as it is, is mostly a sucker’s bet.

Topics include…

  • Parlays and other tricks apps use to keep you hooked

  • How the limiting of winners makes sustained success nearly impossible

  • Tout scams, busty pick advice, and other ways to get rich off worthless tips

  • Sports bet advertising that targets youth

  • Betting on games vs. events that are determined by inside info (Draft picks)

  • Can games be rigged in this era due to gambling?

  • Pro social gambling vs. anti social gambling

  • How do we feel about betting on the 2024 election? Good opportunities there?
