Sports betting has shifted from gut feel to spreadsheets, and few people understand that change as well as Chad Bleznick. After years of trial, error, and relentless data collection, he built an algorithm designed to find real edges in a market that punishes guesswork. When Chad Bleznick joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the conversation pulled back the curtain on how disciplined bettors actually think.
The talk moves quickly from the mechanics of finding value to the bigger questions every serious bettor faces: when to bet, how to protect a bankroll, and where the hidden opportunities live. Along the way, Chad and Sean trade stories and opinions on the games and athletes that make sports so compelling to follow.
