Ep. 175 features Rick Allec from OddsLogic, a classic odds screen platform delivering real-time betting data to both sportsbooks and bettors, built by one of the industry’s most experienced operators.

 

Hear him discuss:

  • How he’s launched 3 data startups over 25+ years, including Sports Options and OddsLogic
  • Why he merged Sports Options into Don Best after a decade of head-to-head competition
  • The story behind Don Best’s acquisition by Scientific Games post-PASPA
  • Why Rick left media/pick-selling behind to return to his first love: data
  • How OddsLogic launched in late 2023 and now supports real-time screens and API feeds
  • The planned rollout of player props and positive EV alerting ahead of NFL season
  • Why Rick believes a usable interface is still the biggest differentiator in betting tools
  • How he’s bootstrapped every company he’s built—and why he has no regrets
  • What it’s like keeping the same core team together across 3 startups and 20+ years
  • His take on the sports betting graveyard—and why “fun” still matters most in B2C
  • His 5-year vision to power sportsbooks with real-time alerts, data tools, and risk profiling
