95% of sports bettors lose money. Not because they’re dumb. Because they’re
picking “winners” when they should be finding mispriced markets. I spent 15 years in finance managing capital for a self-made billionaire inside a single family office, doing deals in private equity, running wealth management strategies for ultra-high-net-worth clients. Then I built a sports advisory firm from scratch and sold it. The math is the same. Expected value. Variance management. Position sizing. Information asymmetry. Whether you’re allocating a $200M portfolio or sizing a $50 bet, the analyticalframework is identical.
