A sportsbook accidentally listed every golfer in the Cognizant Classic at -10000 while adjusting lines — and for a brief window, chaos broke out across the market. Bettors holding longshots suddenly saw absurd cashout offers hit their accounts, creating one of the wildest pricing errors we've seen in golf betting. The crew breaks down what actually happened, how these -10000 placeholders triggered massive cashouts, whether books are obligated to honor them, and what this says about how sportsbooks manage live risk and line moves. We also dive into Alex Monahan's claim that bankroll management is overrated and debate whether traditional betting discipline is outdated in today's market. Joining Jacob Gramegna are Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor), Joey Knish, and Porter from BA Analytics to unpack the controversy, the philosophy clash, and everything else making noise in gambling Twitter this week.

Are prediction markets rigged? Rob Pizzola gives his honest take on the stigma surrounding prediction markets and why many of the common criticisms don't hold up. He breaks down how these markets actually function, where the skepticism comes from, and whether concerns about manipulation or unfair advantages are rooted in reality. Rob also explains how pricing, liquidity, and incentives work in practice — and why misunderstanding those mechanics fuels a lot of the backlash. He also discusses the value of products like Kalshi, how prediction markets compare to traditional sportsbooks, and where sharp bettors may (or may not) find edge. This episode is hosted by Rob Pizzola, professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, and dives into the evolving role of prediction markets within the broader betting ecosystem.

Team USA shocks Canada in the men's hockey gold medal game and we break down everything — the biggest moments, the coaching decisions, the betting market movement before puck drop, and how the result impacted bettors on both sides. We react to the game itself, the pregame narratives that didn't hold up, and what this outcome says about the USA vs Canada rivalry going forward. Plus, we dive into the stat making the rounds that 57% of bettors are female — what it actually means, how it's being interpreted, and whether gambling media is telling the story correctly. And of course, Gambling Twitter drama is back. We unpack the latest beef, subtweets, and industry shots that have reignited timelines this week. Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg. The crew reacts to the biggest stories in sports betting, gambling media, and the broader betting industry every week on Circles Off, part of The Hammer Betting Network.

We originally asked our audience to send in their sports betting questions through YouTube comments, email, and Discord. The problem? Most of them were terrible. So we did something different: we took every comment from the past year on Circles Off, fed them into ChatGPT, and asked it to generate the 10 questions that every serious sports bettor actually needs answered. The result is a brutally honest, evergreen sports betting Q&A focused on improving your process, avoiding common mistakes, understanding edge, bankroll management, market selection, and what it really takes to become a profitable bettor. Professional sports bettor Rob Pizzola and basketball originator Kirk Evans break down each question and explain how sharp bettors think differently. If you're serious about improving at sports betting, this is the test. Let us know in the comments how many you could answer confidently, and subscribe for more sports betting analysis, strategy discussions, and Q&A episodes right here on Circles Off from The Hammer Betting Network.

Today, we are circling back to remind{h}er 112: Remember We Are Dust. This episode originally aired two years ago, on February 14, 2024, which happened to be Ash Wednesday that year. If you are listening in real time now in 2026, today is Ash Wednesday, too.  Similar to our last Circle Back episode, two years later it seems this message still rings true. It's a reminder that continues to haunt me in the very best way. It's a reminder I know we continue to need. As we begin the season of Lent, I hope this Ash Wednesday episode {once again!} serves you well. And if you're just now finding it and Ash Wednesday and/or Lent is through, I hope it serves you well, too. Listen in. remind{h}er 112: Remember We Are Dust Barbie written and directed by Greta Gerwig In a Year of Death, Ash Wednesday Offers Unexpected Hope by Tish Harrison Warren {Correction: in this episode, I mistakenly share that this article was published in 2023.

Social media is not making you a better sports bettor. It might be doing the exact opposite. Today's algorithms reward outrage, certainty, and constant engagement, not accuracy, long-term profitability, or nuance. The more you interact with bold takes and confident predictions, the more the algorithm feeds you the loudest voices in the room. In sports betting, that creates a dangerous feedback loop that can quietly shape how you think about edge, bankroll management, and what winning actually looks like. Professional sports bettor Rob Pizzola breaks down how algorithm-driven content is influencing bettors, why confidence online is often mistaken for competence, and the major red flags to watch for before trusting someone in this space. If you believe consuming more betting content automatically makes you sharper, this conversation may change your perspective and help you separate real signal from performative noise before it costs you money.

We break down whether professional sports bettors can truly advocate for responsible gambling, the controversy around cashing out Charlotte Hornets playoff futures, and real strategies for priming betting accounts.

Expect sharp takes, insider tips, and a look at the ethics behind these moves. Hosted by Jacob Gramegna, Circle Back features Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor), Joey Knish, and responsible gaming advocate Isaac Rose-Berman.

Jacob and the crew tear apart Super Bowl LX from every angle — how the Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots 29–13, the defensive masterclass that suffocated rookie QB Drake Maye, and how Kenneth Walker III emerged as the game's MVP for the first time by a running back in decades. We break down the key plays, the Patriots' offensive struggles, Jason Myers' record-setting five field goals, and all the big storylines your timeline is talking about today. Then it's onto the NFL MVP controversy — Matthew Stafford beat out Drake Maye by the closest margin in years for the 2025 AP MVP award, and the fallout online and in the league has been wild. We react to why the vote was so tight, what the pundits and fans are saying, and how this award feels totally separate from Super Bowl narratives yet is dominating conversations. Hosts & Guests: Jacob Gramegna is joined by professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg for hot takes, hot mic moments, and season-defining reactions you don't want to miss.

Artificial intelligence is starting to reshape the sports betting landscape, and this episode digs into what that actually means going forward. The crew breaks down how AI is being used, where it actually matters, and where the hype gets out of control. From there, the conversation shifts to a so-called “documented” loser in the betting space and what that situation reveals about public tracking, transparency, and credibility. The episode also gets real about the harsh realities of trying to go pro in sports betting — variance, lifestyle pressure, misconceptions, and what most people underestimate about the grind. As always, the discussion branches into broader industry truths and uncomfortable realities bettors don't always like to hear. Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features Joey Knish and Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor). This episode also welcomes two-time betting contest winner Chris Dierkes, who brings firsthand perspective on competing, winning, and surviving at the highest levels of sports betting.

On Life of a Capper, pro bettors answer two brutally honest questions: the worst gambling losses they've ever suffered financially, and the sports betting bad beats that still haunt them today. Filmed for Circles Off on The Hammer Betting Network and presented by Kalshi, this episode explores betting bankroll swings, unforgettable bad beat stories, sports gambling reality, and betting industry interviews. Hosted by Jacob Gramegna.

Today, we are kicking off our first ever Circle Back series. If you aren't sure what that is, I recommend listening to remind{h}er 152: Circle Back to hear a little more about the heart behind the series. We're starting with a remind{h}er from five years ago—remind{h}er 38: A Spirit of Hospitality. If you've listened to this episode before, it might be interesting to consider how your understanding or practice of hospitality has grown or shifted since the last time you listened.

All throughout our lives, forward progress is praised. Life is a line from point A to point B with lots of markers and milestones along the way. As we journey along, we try to avoid backsliding and dread the idea of being stuck. Our days are defined by how far we've come. I'm learning, though, that life with God isn't always linear. Because life with God isn't really about where we're going; it's about who we're becoming. And when it comes to our formation—I find we often become in circles. What if our greatest and deepest growth doesn't happen in a straight line? What if our souls grow like the live oak tree, in ever-expanding circles?

Professional sports bettor Rob Pizzola breaks down one of the most common and costly mistakes sports bettors make: relying on their “gut.” In this video, Rob explains why intuition without a proven edge is not an edge at all, how false confidence is built through short-term results, and why disciplined process always beats feel-based betting in the long run. If you've ever talked yourself into a bet because it “felt right,” this is a must-watch. Rob dives into why intuition only works when it's backed by experience, data, and repeatable decision-making — and how trusting your gut without merit is a fast track to draining your bankroll.
