  • 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!

Q: Drew, is there a sell for you right now in the futures markets on Houston, or is there a play to target against Houston once we get into the season?

A Numbers Game | August 11, 2026 | Hour 3
Q: Joe, first of all, hello. Welcome to the program. I would like to know if you would have known what was going on in the moment in the strange Fenway scenario last night.
Joe explains that he stayed up to study the play and that, in the end, the call was correct on the books even if it felt wrong, highlighting the unusual sequence and the need to rely on the rulebook timing rather than instinct.
