  • Foul Language is Prevalent

    giving 3 stars due to only the foul language by Jon Eimer. he now cusses at least once a week. and the pod doesn't come with a "explicit" warning . Eimers outbursts take away from what is otherwise a great sports betting pod

  • Daily shows too long now

    Update: Lowered another star due to them adding WNBA. I like the mega preview shows a lot and used to like the daily ones when they were around 20mins but they’ve gotten way too long with the same amount of picks just more useless banter. Myself and everyone I know that gambles likes to bet on stuff we can watch, like the 4 major sports. Always have to skip thru some weird soccer bet in some euro league.

    This Buckets act is literally ruining the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Knicks vs. Spurs Game 2 Picks + MLB Props | Early Edge
Q: What is the live odds boost token at Bet MGM for Game 2?
The hosts explain that Bet MGM players can use a playoff odds boost token for Game 2 and, if the bet wins, receive unrestricted bonus dollars from Bet MGM.
Wednesday's BEST BETS: Spurs vs. Thunder Gm 2 + Golden Knights vs. Avs Gm 1 + MLB
Q: What is the key metric for the Avs vs Knights series play?
The play focuses on Colorado to win in regulation, using shot volume and opponent weaknesses, particularly Vegas' penalty kill and altitude to justify the edge.
Wednesday's BEST BETS: MLB + NBA + Golf + Soccer
Q: What is your pick for the Yankees vs Mariners game?
Amags shares an under seven runs with a +105 price, citing strong bullpens and favorable weather as reasons it should stay under.
Tuesday's BEST BETS: CBB + Champions League + NBA + NHL
Q: Buckets, what do you think of Syracuse vs. SMU with the five-and-a-half spread?
Tom and Jeff ended up discussing a lean toward over or team totals rather than the stubborn spread, suggesting that a more offense-driven approach could be more profitable given current form and coaching situations.
Thursday's BEST BETS: NBA Picks + College Basketball Bets + Golf
Q: Thoughts on FDU?
I'm on FDU plus five and a half. They have been solid on the road and can keep it close.
