Welcome back to Gambling with Good JuJu, the show with more modeling than IMG! This week, we’re thrilled to welcome back our friend and host of The Risk Takers Podcast, GoldenPants. He recently dropped an episode on the pros and cons of backtesting, and since we’re knee-deep in building our own college football betting system (shoutout Beyond the Odds and Elihu Fuestel), we had to bring him on to help us make sense of the backtesting battlefield.
We dive into:
- Why Kalshi might be more scared of horses than sports
- The debate around whether you should backtest
- Common pitfalls and real benefits of backtesting
- Tips for first-time modelers (yes, we said it)
- Making the shift from top-down to bottom-up betting
- Implications for account health and longevity
We also chat about what’s next for GoldenPants beyond the pod, and ask the ultimate question: if sports betting disappeared tomorrow, where would he take his edge?
