S2 Ep. 5 - Doug Yass, Sports Gambling at Nellie Analytics

S2 Ep. 5

This episode’s guest is my friend from high school, Doug Yass. Doug and I played golf a few weeks ago with his brother and my classmate, Robbie, and they shared with me their passion for sports gambling and how it’s become their full-time pursuit. They started referencing relatively unknown players by their odds for the upcoming tournament, and backing them up with shots gained stats and recent trends in their games. I was interested in that level of detail and knowledge, and how they were applying it to gambling, so Doug agreed to talk about it on here.

Prior to Covid, Doug was based in Ireland working for Nellie Analytics, the sports gambling division of Susquehanna International Group. Doug’s dad - Jeff Yass - is one of Susquehanna’s cofounders and is known for his prolific poker skills. Doug discusses how that influenced his journey into professional sports gambling, how he calculates player odds in an effort to gain an advantage on betting exchanges, and what our horizon in the U.S. looks like for legalized gambling.
