Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 36 ratings
  • Great show, mediocre sound quality

    Hosts are great, awesome guests and content is elite. My only complaint is that it can be really hard to listen to because Nielson sounds like he’s recording with a cheap microphone about an inch from his face. It’s either distorted while he’s speaking or you can hear him breathing while others are speaking. Other than that it’s a fantastic show, five stars.

  • Always Love the Lockshop

    I joined Coolbet a year ago and with your help have had solid success.

    Being able to tap into your knowledge has been a ton of fun. I never miss the show. I really enjoy the boosted odds parlays.

    I'm appreciative of Kris and Coolbet for their contribution to the show as well.

    Keep up the great work guys!!

  • Fantastic New Pod

    Andrew and Dustin absolutely kill it in this new pod. The energy and knowledge they both bring to their audience is a much listen/watch. They break down the numbers extremely well and will find you value every week. To me, seeing 2 friends talk sports betting and have a ball doing it is just fantastic.

    Amazing job gentlemen!!

    Thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CFL Week 9 Preview & Rocket Classic Best Bets! - July 29th, 2026
Q: Why did the Sharks' approach to Celebrini's deal differ from past max contracts?
They paid market value for the prime years and did not buy future UFA time, meaning they're paying for peak performance now but will still face decisions on a future re-signing as Celebrini ages and the cap changes.
CFL Week 9 Preview & Rocket Classic Best Bets! - July 29th, 2026
Q: What would Macklin Celebrini's new contract look like today if calculated with current cap dynamics?
The panel estimates Celebrini's next big contract could approach or exceed 16 million, driven by market inflation for elite players, and they discuss how this would sit as a percentage of the cap, potentially higher than peers like Crosby or McDavid.
World Cup Is Set & Open Championship Update! - July 16th, 2026
Q: What is the MOP in CFL betting terms and who are the top candidates?
The hosts outline the top five candidates for Most Outstanding Player (MOP) in the CFL, highlighting players like Davis Alexander, Nathan Rourke, Vernon Adams, and Trevor Harris as among the leading contenders, with Tyson Philpott noted as a sleeper pick at 22 to 1 due to his remarkable receiving numbers.
TGL Best Bets & NHL Futures! - February 24th, 2026
Q: Are you more of the side of the train of thought, Hernan, that the Oilers should maybe just chill out this trade deadline?
One part of me says yes, but the other side acknowledges the need to not waste McDavid's prime.
TGL Best Bets & NHL Futures! - February 24th, 2026
Q: Was it mixed?
Fans were disappointed that Canada didn't win a gold medal.
