*This is a re-broadcast episode because of being unable to record because of travel. MANY FAMOUS PODCASTS DO THIS SO IT MUST BE OKAY. This episode is a good listen for those who are looking to build a basic sports model that spits out a useful number.

Feeling overwhelmed when considering the jump from +EV betting to building your own model?
We don't blame you. The little content there is out there on how to get started makes it sound impossible. But the reality is, in the beginning, it's rather straightforward.
In this episode, the boys help you get started with your first sports betting model before getting into the news and Q&A
