WNBA Circus • Bettor Stiffed $500K? • Netflix Doc Roasted | Circle Back | Presented by ProphetX
4d ago01:08:59Tap to summarizeThe WNBA can't get out of its own way this week. The league's official account posted — then deleted — video of Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese casually discussing a $400 All-Star Weekend bet, a clear violation of the CBA's anti-wagering rules, and it's raising real questions about how a league office lets that get anywhere near publish. Meanwhile, Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was fined and suspended for five home games after confronting two teenage fans holding signs supporting Sophie Cunningham, adding another layer to a franchise's messy week. Elsewhere in the gambling world, sports betting influencer Manny Cortez is back in the news as his lawsuit over a $500,000 Celtics championship bet moves toward a February trial — the sportsbook used his winning ticket to market itself on social media, then refused to pay him, citing his use of a third party to place the wager. And the fallout continues from Netflix's new prediction markets documentary, as the sports content platform prominently featured in the film's trailer keeps taking heat online for how it's chosen to talk about its own role in it. Porter, Isaac Rose-Berman, and Joey Knish join Jacob Gramegna to break down all of it on this week's Circle Back. 🟢 Sponsored by ProphetX, America's #1 Sports Prediction Market.

The Sharp Bettor From Netflix's New Documentary Tells All | Presented by ProphetX
5d ago00:53:35Tap to summarizeIsaac Rose-Berman was one of the featured sharp bettors in Netflix's new documentary, Instadocs: The Prediction Games — and he's here to break down everything that happened behind the scenes. In this conversation, Isaac details how he got connected to the production, what he was originally told the documentary would focus on, and how ten hours of filming got condensed into just a few minutes of screen time. He addresses the backlash to the Winnable meetup segment and whether those bettors were ever actually winning, breaks down a moment of what he calls "slightly deceptive editing" involving his own trading numbers, and gives his honest take on the framing of the "ideal counterparty" cut to a 19-year-old struggling bettor. Isaac also shares his thoughts on the overall tone of the documentary, why he felt it lacked a strong defense of prediction markets, what he wishes had made the final cut, and what he hopes viewers ultimately take away from watching it. Jacob Gramegna hosts this conversation on Circles Off, covering the World Cup trading scenes, the fee structure discussions that got cut, market maker vs. taker dynamics, and Isaac's honest assessment of whether this documentary is a fair introduction to prediction markets. 🟢 Sponsored by ProphetX, America's #1 Sports Prediction Market.

We break down the doc, the reaction, and what it means for the industry.

We also cover an Iowa bettor suing a major sportsbook for $14 million after they voided his bets on a pricing error he exploited, a fascinating look at house rules, loopholes, and where the line is drawn.

LeBron's Heat Leak • Prediction Market Truths • Blame Texas? | Circle Back | Presented by ProphetX
2w ago01:12:07Tap to summarizeThis week on Circle Back, the crew dives into the Miami Heat's YouTube slip-up, a scheduled livestream titled "LeBron James Introductory Press Conference" for July 27th that got posted, then quickly deleted. The team says it was a mistake made while preparing for a possible signing, but that hasn't stopped the theories. Was this a genuine accident, or a deliberate leak designed to move the needle on prediction markets before anything is even official? From there, the conversation shifts to prediction markets more broadly, after a platform CEO publicly admitted a majority of users lose money. Is that refreshing honesty, or a red flag? We compare it to loss rates at traditional sportsbooks, casinos, and horse tracks to find out if the number is really as bad as it sounds. Then we dig into a new report showing nearly half of all sports event contract volume in the country comes from just two states without legal sports betting, California and Texas, and debate whether that's really a "gold rush" or something else entirely. Hosted live by Jacob Gramegna, joined by Isaac Rose-Berman, Joey Knish, and Mike. 🟢 Sponsored by ProphetX, America's #1 Sports Prediction Market.

Rob Pizzola Gets Honest: The State of Circles Off | Presented by ProphetX
2w ago00:22:05Tap to summarizeRob Pizzola sits down solo for a candid state-of-the-channel monologue, no guest, no educational breakdown, just an honest look at where Circles Off is and how it got here. Rob talks through the origins of the channel with Johnny from Betstamp, the plateau that led to the pivot into Circle Back, and the business reality behind The Hammer that most viewers never see, including years of building the company without taking a salary. He also gets into what actually drives him to keep making educational content, why bad betting advice in the space gets under his skin, and why he still does this even though he doesn't have to.

2w ago02:04:02Tap to summarizeSpain won the World Cup final 1-0 over Argentina in extra time, with Ferran Torres scoring the winner after Argentina played the entire match down a man following a red card and failed to register a shot until the 117th minute.

In golf, Ryan Fox won the Open Championship, but the bigger story was the cheating controversy surrounding Bryson DeChambeau, whose penalty situation dominated golf media coverage.

Rob Reacts: How a Sharp Bettor Handles Losing Millions | Presented by ProphetX
3w ago00:52:46Tap to summarizeRob Pizzola reacts live to Chris "Flup" Dierkes' viral Substack post detailing a multi-million dollar downswing — and what it actually takes to trust your process through it. Flup, one of the sharpest bettors in the game and a Circle Back regular, wrote candidly about adverse selection, the difference between ego and confidence, spotting real edge vs. variance, closing line value, tilt, and why "just a skill issue" isn't the full story on getting limited. Rob goes section by section, agreeing in some spots, pushing back hard in others — especially on the debate over grinding through a downswing vs. stepping away, and whether getting limited really is just a skill issue.
