On the last off-season episode of the Bet the Process podcast, Rufus and I are going to touch on a variety of subjects, including a conference we went to in Vancouver, the impact of legalization on the U.S. so far.

And we're going to critique a video that was done, which talks about what professional betters do.

We're even going to talk a little bit about what the hell a professional better really is, what our definition is. As always, the Bet the Process Podcast is brought to you by the sports action app. It's the top app for sports betters to get great information about betting and lines and follow all the scores, etc. And it's available for free on the App Store and the Google Play Store.

and he was talking about how, like,

he doesn't think real professional gamblers tie up their money for eight months

or something like that because they can turn it over so many times in that time frame he did i think

he also mentioned credit though i think that's the bigger issue i think he was talking about like
