  • 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.

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.
Thursday's BEST BETS: NBA Picks + College Basketball Bets + Golf
Q: What do you think about Purdue minus seven?
The opener was low, and they turn the ball over a ton, which will hurt them in the tournament.
Monday's BEST BETS: NBA Picks + College Basketball Bets
Q: What do you think about Fiorentina over one and a half goals against Pisa?
Brad believes Fiorentina will score at least two goals due to their recent scoring form and Pisa's defensive struggles.
Monday's BEST BETS: NBA Picks + College Basketball Bets
Q: What are your thoughts on the game Kansas vs. Houston?
Mike expects a higher scoring game due to both teams coming off a loss and believes the total will be around 143.
