After an intriguing first part of SBC Podcast #83 this is part two, where I quiz the betting expert Jose and get some answers to bettor FAQs.

After discussing technical betting topics in part 1, this segment covers more ‘practical’ subjects as we start by touching upon issues such as barriers to profitable betting, cryptocurrencies and how the betting ecosystem is changing around the world.

Jose and I then go on to discuss questions that are regularly fired our way here at the SBC around betting with soft bookmakers, sharp bookmakers and exchanges in the most efficient ways possible.

Jose’s personality and wisdom shine through even more in the second half of Episode 83 as he talks us through some ‘dos and don’ts’ that many of us wish we had learnt sooner!

In this chat, Jose and I talked about:

• Which sports markets are on the rise? Which sports are declining?
• Originator or mover? Which is better?
• Who does Jose work with?
• Listener questions: using soft bookmakers & sharps/exchanges
• The ideal betting location in 2025
• Networking: talk to Jose!

Ever the networker, Jose closed our chat by offering the chance to talk to him. To reach him (or to follow) on Twitter/X, he can be found at @xeque999. His Telegram account is nearly identical but it has one less 9 – the link for that is here: https://t.me/xeque99​

I hope you enjoy the pod!

In the first part of a ‘double header’ for SBC Podcast Episode #83 I was joined by Jose, one of the most informed and well-connected betting people out there.
​
Jose has a wealth of experience working with bettors from all over the world and instead of modelling or originating his own bets, he concentrates on meeting people who can and helping them maximise their profits.
​
Getting on, masking sharp activity and sustainable betting are all hallmarks of Jose’s work and he has strong opinions about everything from the most efficient market makers, the best types of edges and CLV.
​
In Part 1, we discuss all of this as Jose shares wisdom that can benefit bettors of all levels from beginners right through to hardened pros. Part 2 will be with you soon as we will answer some very common questions that bettors have!

In this chat, Jose and I talked about:

• Introducing Jose
• Betting, edges & scaling operations with others
• Betting in practice: sustainability
• Bet execution & the variance that comes with multiples
• Pinnacle: is it still the same barometer it once was?
• CLV
• Good & bad practice in betting groups
• End of part 1!

I have met and spoke to Jose many times in the past and he is at the cutting edge of the betting markets all across the globe, with contacts on every continent.

I learn a lot from him every time we talk – I am sure that you will too!

Enjoy!
