I think reviewing all of it with Boz would be the way to go, with Todd serving as host. MrV seems pretty good at asking the more obvious civilian-type questions, so that would work, too.

Todd's PFA gestalt translates well into deconstructing the garbage that has constituted the bulk of the handicapping industry. "Handicapping Fraud Alert" is pretty much what "Tipsters or Gypsters?" was about. Todd is likely the contemporary poker equivalent of what McCusker was doing vis-a-vis handicappers back in the 80's and 90's, only McCusker documented full-season records, so it wasn't just reputation reviews and reports of handicappers doing shitty things, although McCusker provided those as well.
Honestly if you did something like this you could have a pretty highly regarded podcast episode.

Arguing a wrong opinion about EV or the morality of abusing bonuses isn't going to go anywhere. What you do have though is a great memory of LV when it was more interesting. I'm not calling you up to shit on you in general. I don't care enough. But you actually could make a decent enough podcast episode if you talking about historical stuff and not this "call me up ya maroons and let me tell you why I live in Bubble Butt TN"

Going further into this - you have stated the reason to not be anonymous is to have opportunities. You're not going to get any opportunities from a podcast where you argue silly positions on sports betting. That stuff has been rehashed infinite. What you have is a history from some of LV's more exciting years. Stick with that. The right person listens to THAT podcast and you might wind up with an actual opportunity.

Arguing your sports betting prowess isn't going to do it for various reasons which I'll leave off because I'd rather this post be taken seriously.

You do realize my "wrong opinion" regarding the use of the term "EV" for sports betting is also Munchkin's take on it? I was prepped to argue the point with Munchkin, but there was zero need.

The more I think about it, the proper inroad for a discussion is the parallel between Todd's distaste for poker manipulations and my/McCusker's/Boz's distaste for, as McCusker coined, "Scamdicappers." There is a rich history of nonsense, which Boz knows about as well as I do. I suspect Boz knows 90% of what I know and knows a couple of things I do not.
IDGAF about munchkin. Plenty of professional sharp sports bettors will use the term EV all day long. We've had this discussion a dozen times.

For example - I've now seen you say that after the event EV is correct but at that point is is VALUE and NOT EV. If you're going to nitpick over asinine things then do better.

Regardless - stay away from this shit or get on Munchkin, IDGAF. Your value to a podcast is not trying to settle asinine beefs originating from this website but if you want to amuse us then sure go ahead. To me - It'll be worth a listen regardless.
