In this episode, Pete speaks with Elliot Roe and Samm Hunter, two leading performance and mindset coaches who specialise in helping elite performers from poker champions and traders to professional bettors reach their potential.

Fresh from their Bet Bash 2025 seminar “From Emotion to Execution: The Champion’s Mindset for Sports Betting”, Elliot and Samm break down what separates consistent winners from those trapped by emotion, ego, and poor habits.

Together, they unpack how to build emotional regulation, discipline, and resilience in a world driven by variance and risk.

This is one of those episodes that will make you rethink how you approach betting, pressure, and performance both on and off the computer screen.

Key Quotes

“You need to see yourself as the casino, not the gambler. The casino doesn’t care about one spin, it cares about the long-term results.” - Elliot Roe

“Our subconscious beliefs around money, worth, and success shape everything - even how we bet.” - Samm Hunter

“Most bettors aren’t aware how much edge they give away through emotion. Tracking those moments is the first step to real improvement.” - Elliot Roe
