HoS: Raheem Palmer

from House of Strauss · host Ethan Strauss

Sports bet discourse continues to burble on the BCC Chat, and I’m adding more fuel…We’ve had the Man Who Would Ban Sports Betting and now we have the Sports Betting Man. Raheem Palmer is the co-host of the Ringer Gambling Show. He says he’s gone broke before and made millions. He leads a life most of us can’t imagine. He just moved to Las Vegas. I had questions. Topics include but aren’t limited to…* The problem with the Sharp Lifestyle* What is Raheem’s “model” for making bets* Is losing also addictive?* Should prop bets be banned? * Raheem watches every pro basketball league and believes the NBA is unique in superstar coddling * Josh Allen is great, not a choker, and also “not who people want him to be” * Do we need a new term for “point shaving” now that players tank for props?* Is Pro Football Focus astrology for dudes?House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.
