This week we look at the PGA event from the weekend and the success of Sebastian Munoz. The first round of Rugby World Cup matches finish with success in a 1.01 lay but with that the most brutal of losses in England vs USA. After the break we discuss if the upcoming middleweight boxing bout is going to be overshadowed by KSI and Logan Paul, and could the Dolphins go 0-16? #bettingat100.1andabove

Celebrating Rory McIlroys success  in the Tour Championship. MoPlay are the next bookmaker to offer outrageous boosts that do not seem sustainable. DDHH review over 2019 and changes to the early payouts at Bet365 limits the value there.

The BashCast Episode 144 - Sir, this is a Wendys

3 DDHHs in 3 weeks - but the final one results in a very early contender for Villain of the Season. We discuss Virtual Cartoon Horses and an attempt at Skybet to modernise with use markets. Yeah right. To be modern is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world - and at the same time that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are.  #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 143 - It Ain't no Good if You’re in the Jungle

This week on the BashCast we look at a week of outrageous EV from some William Hill shop bets - some of which raise quite interesting bankroll staking questions. Tom goes into talking about profiting from “x winners from y events” type bets, primarily for the bants. In the news a punter loses out on £200k from Betfred by filling in a bets lip wrong, and we look forward to the Rugby World Cup and look at where we might expect to find value. #thisisBig

They don’t like it up’em. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 139 - A great untapped waterfall of value (shop special)

This week we are joined by Loose Cannon who talks through his experiences of getting on in shops, getting on with staff members and not coming across as a jerky jerk who gets PTL'd on his first bet. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 138 - Put the gun down, and get me a pack of Tropical Fruit Bubblicious

Tom returns after a break - we look at the last couple of nights Champions League matches, a new options model and a new Golf Model that is currently being trialled in Beta mode on bookiebashing. After the break there is controversy at the Kentucky Derby, and we revisit a “3 for 1” Ladbrokes Coupon from 2016 that had misprinted all the prices #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 137 - Big game at the safari park tonight

This week Tom discusses the Coyotes vs Kings in the NHL and the differences between US and UK sport. The Grand National apparently resulted in a 1/4 billion losses for the bookmakers, apparently, but is that a crock. Value Mugs results Jan-April 2019 - they haven’t been pretty. The US Masters gets under way and we discuss how we found value in that. After the break a story of bitcoin losses and a warning about finding correlation without causation #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 136 - Everything in this world is magic except for the magician

Tom gets scammed by some scammers, so tries to do some investigatory work live on the BashCast. Coral palping bets, again, that aren’t even out of line. Tom makes a mistake with a reverse forecast value bet, gets lambasted on the forums. The World Golf Championship present a new edge for us through identifying value in the places. After the break we look at more slots with potential seeding positions in positive equity to the player and discuss the taxable implications of professional advantage play in the UK.

The BashCast Episode 135 - Suicide, space other spurious correlations

This evening we discuss spurious correlations, dead or alive 2, and the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with some seriously good bets at Fred and William Hill, neither of which came in. After the break there is a panel at MIT discussing whether sportsbooks ban winning players with a less than open representative from WH and we finish with a second editorial about the changes going on at bookiebashing recently. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 134 - Greed is a little bit more than enough

Three weeks off - we're back without an agenda. Winging it off the cuff Tom discussed a Cheltenham review that wasn't worth it (neither the review, nor Cheltenham). A story of some slot advantage players from New Jersey breaking the Magic Ocean slot, and an opinion piece on the current goings on at BookieBashing.net, both negative and postivie.

#thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 132 - This horse flu could be a ‘mare

This week Tom gets into a fight (that was rather pathetic). We look at the horse racing news that broke over the day, and discuss the start of the six nations tournament as the NFL season comes to a close. After the break we look at the Worst 5 bets of all time, are William Hill scamming people with their concession prices in shop, Ladbrokes staff are instructed to make shop customers sign up online and we take a blast from the past as we look at a 2007 thread about silly matched bettors thinking they’ve hit a goldmine by dutch laying a market over and over again before final declarations. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 131 - Freddie Dunning Kruger

This week we look at positive expectation strategies at Toms local car dealership. Ronaldo misses a penalty that costs him and us quite a bit of bankroll. A thin weekend both for results and value in the fourth round of FA Cup leads to a discussion of the Dunning Kruger theory. After the break we discuss we discuss the WSOP schedule for the summer and quickly touch on one of the greatest sporting events of all time - the Hell in the Cell match from 1998. #thisiBig

The BashCast Episode 130 - Bill and Freds excellent adventure

This week we run through the Smart Betting Club nominations, review the Australian Open; tipsters vs Bookie Bashing, Eibar steam in on Monday night and BasherTom has some Beef on Social Media. After the break we look at any edges in the NFL Super Bowl coin toss, fishiness in the timing of an Oddschecker article on Gareth Southgate and look forward to the 4th round of the FA Cup. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 129 - Jesus and the Wolves

This week we focus more on the losses and the wins as Januarys value mugs make the winter blue blueier.

Eden Hazard provides a double festive delight and we hit an 18/1 HF/FT in the NFL. After the break we break down a $100,000 isolation prop bet between two poker players, a man attempts to steal a $10m lottery ticket and a wife buys her husband a present that may be too hot for him to handle. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 127 - It’ll be Alright on the Night

Merry Christmas from the BashCast. This week I discuss a -EV strategy as Santa, then we look at steamers in the Champions League and some huge prices coming in on the coupons. William Hill continue to offer a billion places in a horse race each Saturday, and the PDC is off and running without the BashCast tip for the tournament. After the break we return to Vayo vs Pokerstars, the McCann case, and the bastardisation of Advantage Play. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 126 - The Paradox of Loss Aversion

This week on the BashCast - game theory in car parking, Super Saturday hits on the weekend and a losing ticket is paid out as a winner - but the moral quandry is would you cash it out? The answer is, maybe, in the theory of loss aversion. After the break we discuss the PDC World Championships.

The BashCast Episode 125 - A Pierre-Emerick Special

Just why is Aubameyang so decent value so much of the time? It's a Pierre Emerick Special. #thisisBig

The BashCast Episode 124 - A really Futile and Stoopid gesture

We go deep into the principles of a new era of value - and break down the equity available on this edge over the weekend. William Hill continue to offer crazy places, so I’m going to have to cover the field. Arbers are jumping over this lay to lose guarantee strategy, but is it a good idea? Bet365 are the latest UK sports book to align with a USA casino and we discuss an edge on roulette in brick and mortar casinos. #thisisBig
