  • The single best betting show around.

    Without a doubt the best show on sports betting. Gill and Kelley have a great report and the guests are top notch. In a world where podcasts are just this free flowing, rambling, nebulous thing it’s so refreshing to hear a show that’s actually produced like a proper radio show with well crafted segments and a host that actually moves the guests through their time on air. Tons of winning bets from this show Iga for tennis futures before she was well known, Pablo as the number 1 NBA pick, Indiana ... more

  • Gil seems like a good guy!

    Not the type that would selfishly abandon his children at an influential age, like Eric Rosenthal did, so he can have more gambling freedom. AKA - Gil is an adult. Enjoyed the Tim Lawson interview! Keep up the excellent work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best Of A Numbers Game | May 7, 2026
Q: What stands out about the baseball market this season according to Mark Borchardt?
Mark notes that top payroll teams aren't always the best ROI performers and highlights the Rays and Cardinals as compelling examples of payroll-ROI divergence, suggesting over- and under-performance patterns that defy simple payroll explanations.
A Numbers Game | May 6, 2026 | Hour 1
Q: Jonathan, how do you assess the likelihood of the Avalanche advancing through the West given Vegas' improvements?
Jonathan emphasizes Vegas' recent coaching shift has been transformative, and he projects a tight but favorable path for the Knights if they ride momentum through the Ducks and into a potential conference final, with close attention to goaltending and depth.
Best of A Numbers Game | May 1, 2026
Q: What is the best preparation race to watch for the Derby?
The Florida Derby is highlighted as a key prep race that showcases top contenders and helps gauge distance readiness, pace, and class, informing bets for the Derby.
A Numbers Game | April 28, 2026 | Hour 2
Q: How important is 'boots on the ground' reporting for Derby betting, and what kind of intel matters most?
Boots-on-the-ground reporting is crucial; observing morning workouts, scratches, trainer and peddler chatter, and backside conditions provides signals that aren't captured in speed figures alone and can alter the race-day strategy.
A Numbers Game | April 28, 2026 | Hour 2
Q: What is your take on Cooper Flagg winning the Rookie of the Year with the larger margin in first-place votes?
The larger first-place vote margin supports Flagg's breakout status, but there's a clear argument that Kon Knueppel's efficiency and the Hornets' season trajectory should not be overlooked; the final decision reflects both performance and narrative momentum.
