The BashCast

The BashCast is officially the greatest resource for Tyler McCucumber puns this side of the Atlantic. We discuss driving accuracy, shots on target, the 1929 US open and shysters in the anti-gambling brigade.

After another month of lockdown Tom still hasn't placed any bets - so no sports betting content in this Bashcast. Instead we discuss lockdown life, the Flutter merger and the Bad Boys of the NBA - the Detroit Pistons of the early 90s. After the break an obituary for Tony Lewis, and game theory discussion of Scissors Paper Stone. #bettingat100.1andabove

There is no sports betting chat this week, don’t even @ me. Instead I talk about my lockdown life so far, isolating after a week away, the farce that is data reporting in the UK, and game theory in stockpiling and why we shouldn’t be upset at hoarders. After the break we look at another poker players prob bet, a Swedish 8th division friendly and the Phil Ivey Baccarat story is to be made into a movie #bettingat100.1andabove

Dave everybody is dead. Everybody. Is. Dead. Dave. This week we talk about the universal least-favourite Pandemic of the decade - COV-19.

This week we look at a months worth of golf results and look at the performance of favourites and underdogs in the top four divisions of English football this season. A look to Cheltenham next week as I discuss my plan of attack and after the break - will the zombie apocalypse put a dampener on sports events in 2020. #bettingat100.1andabove

Lucas Herbert wins this weeks European Tour for a hattrick to start of 2020. We discuss Lucky 15s in shops and how to ensure we’re getting the correct price, and the Win both Halves angle that could exist. After the break we look forward to the six nations and backwards to the life of the giant Kobe Bryant and a possible betting angle. #bettingat100.1andabove

Happy New Year 20s BashCats, hope you’re sweet as a nut, a bloody hazelnut nut nut. This first week of the 20s we discuss Lee Westwood + his long overdue success, William Hill squeezing offers as predicted and some new edges on football Coupons. After the break - is the gambling industry going be held accountable for all of societies woes, and what is the hardest achievement in sports? 

**Full Disclaimer. The elves swapped Toms sparkling water for a bottle of red wine, and there may be an 18 second silent pause at the 3 minute mark due to some poor editing standards. Please feel free to use this pause for a period of reflection and self improvement.**

It may be the Xmas season but its not quite time to move like Jaeger. Kevin De Bruyne chooses an excellent time to get his first brace for Manchester City. Are William Hill squeezing the great offers to death? After the break we offer up 12 predictions to look out for when betting in 2020

Fun Fact. The term 86’d comes from an old Las Vegas adage that if you were caught imbibing in Advantage Play in the mobster-run casinos of the 1950s then you would be driven 8 miles out and 6 feet deep. I forgot to mention that on the Podcast so here it is in the summary. Also on the BashCast we break down a silly William Hill Great Offer, look at Novembers hot and cold betting streaks and explain the variance involved in getting to £15k profit by the 20th. After the break we discuss topless poker dealers, and actually get round to the SportsBet story we forgot to cover last week. #Bettingat100.1andabove

After a big of a break we return with a sum up of the Bashcast Rugby World Cup profit, a lot at 4 more weeks on the PGA tour, and William Hill Shops introduce some new bet types with crazy good equity. After the break we discuss rehabilitation at Skybet, and talk about two big stories going on in the poker world with Mike Postle doing the stealing and Daniel Negreanu robbed. #bettingat100.1 and above

Genoa vs Inter Milan turns in to one of the most extraordinary games of the season. Kevin Na wins the PGA event, and after the break we discuss whether filthy EW bots are legitimate tool for gambling. #Bettingat100.1and higher

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

This week in a BashCast special we are joined by resident International Rugby expert James Owen as we get through 20 teams, 4 groups and 1 bottle of montepulciano #100.1andabove

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. In the news we look at Borgatas decision to come after Phil Ivey winnings and the WSOP and whether this affected his play, and part (2) of a look at advantage play in Australia - a review of a couple of online casinos over there. #thisisBig

 

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

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

In tonights episode we discuss the EV of parking at the Coventry Ricoh Arena, an update on the Golf Model, bookies stop taking bets on Frankie Dettori multiples, and Wimbledon throws up a few value bets. After the break there is a couple of notable disqualifications in the World Series of Poker Main Event, someone drops their trousers, and William Hill close shops on the High Street. They don’t like it up’em. #thisisBig

This week we look at a William Hill shop bet from Tuesday - but exactly when does Tuesday end? Fav-longshot bias gets modelled into the trop price tracker on the site, Personalised bets model continues to evolve an improve and Tom discusses the hot streak he has been on them. Nektan VIP for life take a surprising 180 turn. After the break we look at the James Bond next actor market again, and the bet365 19 year old student case draws to an unpalatable close. #thisisBig

This we discuss why we're looking more in depth at personalised #YourOdds style bets, and look in to the expected tools developments over the summer. Hopefully this time Tom uploads the right file #thisisBig

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
