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.

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.
Weekend Recap! - February 17th, 2026
Q: What are your thoughts on the upcoming games?
I think it's probably a fair number for Canada against the US, but Canada needs to clog the game, as they cannot outgun the USA's fast-paced style.
Weekend Recap! - February 17th, 2026
Q: What did you think of the curling controversy on the weekend?
I thought Kennedy looked like a complete clown personally. There were things that had already been drafted in one category that probably shouldn't have been drafted in another category, but she allowed it.
Canada VS Switzerland Best Bets! - February 13th, 2026
Q: Is there a path for Switzerland to score a goal or two here today?
Given Logan Thompson's performance and the pressure of the game, it's unlikely, but anything can happen in hockey.
