In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by Alex Piskopos (AKA ‘Pisky’), a serial betting winner and entrepreneur with some amazing stories to share – including details of the very successful betting operation he was a key part of and one which made him some serious profits!
You can listen to Episode 81 now via Apple / Spotify / YouTube and all other major podcast directories (search Smart Betting Club)
Pisky is a man with many strings to his bow, with extensive industry experience, podcasting and working with some of the sharpest betting groups all being part of his background.
First off though, he walked me through a quite remarkable story about his time at the Ontario Lottery Gaming Corporation (OLG) and how he took serious advantage of an edge he spotted whilst working there.
After leaving OLG, he teamed up with his betting partner ‘The Fulldog’ and scaled up a very impressive betting operation that truly maximised the edge available to him. Its a story that gets to the heart of the logistics involved in running a larger betting operation with a team of runners, handling large sums of cash, arranging deals with shop owners and much more besides!
We also touch upon Pisky’s more current work as he diversifies away from betting 24/7 and grinding away for profit. Part of this relates to continued work with betting groups whilst he also has more experience than most in using cryptocurrencies alongside co-hosting his own podcast – Always Betting.
