In this episode, Pete speaks with Andrew Pace, founder of inplayLIVE, a live betting platform built around real time wagering and repeatable edges. Andrew shares his journey from early losing punter to profitable live bettor, then into building one of the most active live betting communities around today.

Andrew explains how watching games in real time revealed repeatable pricing errors, why mindset is the foundation of long term success, how his field goal strategy kickstarted six figure profits, and why tracking and data now shape everything he does. He also gives a candid look at the realities of getting on, dealing with limits and non payments, and why offshore and crypto books are both a risk and a necessity at scale.

The conversation also covers the evolution of inplayLIVE, the role of its education system, how the community compounds edges, and the adjustments needed as markets shift and tighten.
