The concept for “Quick Nine” is to give golf gamblers a behind-the-scenes look into their favorite personalities backgrounds and strategies.

On this week’s episode of Quick Nine, I talk with Byron Lindeque (@TheModelManiac) about a variety of topics including his start in golf gambling and his job at Roto Baller.

Topics:

You’re a Contributor & News Desk Lead at Roto Baller PGA, can you tell me a little about how that came to be?
You’re well-known on Twitter for your graphics and more specifically your models. I’m assuming your degree in finance played a role in your Excel golf model? Do you mind discussing your trials and tribulations while solidifying your model?
You cover a variety of golf betting topics including standard outrights, placements, etc, and also DFS. Do you have a preference for one and which one have you found more success with?
