This week, the crew dives deep into the shifting landscape of sports wagering and sharp angles ahead of both NBA and NFL games.

First up — the explosive story of the NBA and poker/mob-driven sports-betting scandal that’s rippling through the market. We break down what it means for integrity, for sportsbooks, and for bettors who want to stay ahead of the curve.

Then we shift gears into the new frontier: learning how to operate on the Kalshi marketplace. What kind of contract formats are emerging, how liquidity looks, and how you can use them as a portfolio-tool rather than just another bet.

After that we turn our attention to NBA futures: which teams we believe are undervalued, which markets are overheating, and how to find +EV in this mid-season shuffle. We lay out our top NBA futures picks and explain the reasoning behind them.

Finally, we walk you through our NFL Picks of the Week. Whether you're strictly a bettor looking for edge, or just interested in how the betting markets are reacting to dramatic developments — this episode gives you actionable insights, caution flags, and of course, the reminder: stay sharp and avoid the trap.

In this episode of Avoid The Trap, Ant, David, and Micah take a trip down memory lane, sharing wild stories of how they used to exploit soft sportsbook lines and mispriced odds. From sharp plays to early edges, the crew breaks down what the books got wrong — and how they capitalized.

Later, Micah dives deep into bet sizing strategy with Ant and David, discussing smart ways to manage risk and maximize long-term returns.

As always, the guys drop their latest NFL picks and give a fresh update on their Survivor pool — who’s still alive and who’s hanging by a thread?

With Ant on the road, advantage gambler Randy McKay steps in to join David & Micah for an inside look at the world of professional gambling.

Randy opens up about his tough Grandissimo contest loss on the Bills and how seasoned players like him and David mentally handle losing.

The conversation dives deep into advantage play — from slot edges and comps to video poker strategy — revealing how real pros find value beyond the sportsbook. Plus, Randy shares his Vegas advice for beginners and the crew closes out with their NFL picks of the week.

🎙️ A must-listen for anyone who wants to think — and bet — like a pro.
