A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the show but hoping we can fix Bear’s audio soon. His audio goes from unmuffled to so muffled randomly throughout sentences that it’s not possible to listen to the show with even my A/C on. 5 stars otherwise!

Jwb154 · Aug 2025

The gambling group chat segment is sensational content paired with Chris & Geoff setting the table for the pod. The dialogue can birth creative ways to attack the betting market. If you are a bettor, then this pod has to be on your weekly rotation of actionable content. Also, where else can you get FCS football betting angles to get ahead of the market??

Trip Tepper · Aug 2024

Love the pod. Just please consistently speak at same level and into mic. It’s either super loud or whispering going on. Very annoying.

VPGSWP · Jan 2026

I look forward to these podcasts every week. Good info from a group of well informed gambling buddies

Used to be a good show but it’s become Chris being emotional and biased and the other two agreeing with what he says. They also rely way too much on “wise guy” bets rather than providing actual data as to why a particular move is correct. Basically, what started as a show with effort is now lazy and unprepared
