Powered By
In this episode, host Shane Mercer and Andrew Pace are joined by transformation and performance coaches Elliott Roe & Samm Hunter to dive deep into the surprising role of mindset in sports betting.
Have you ever wondered if mastering your emotions and mental state could give you an edge as a bettor—or even turn you into a ‘sharp’? This episode might just have the answers. Fresh from their well-reviewed BetBash session, mindset veterans Elliott and Samm break down why controlling your mind isn’t just new-age fluff, but a powerful, often-overlooked secret weapon for professionals betting at scale.
They share strategies for resetting after tough losses, handling swings that test your nerve, and balancing the high-octane grind of live betting with real-life—like parenting duties and group dynamics. Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty: should you celebrate your wins, or strive for total emotional neutrality? And is breathwork or hypnotherapy the key to unlocking your “zone of genius”?
