Beating The Book with Gill Alexander - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is split into two podcasts, an early week guessing of what the spread will be for the upcoming week and a detailed betting preview of the weekend's NFL games. Both shows are fantastic and all the guests have great in depth knowledge of NFL and have good educated, research backed opinions. The host Gill is the cherry on the cake. He brings it all together and he is funny and also knows the game inside out. Gill alone makes this podcast a must listen but EVERY guest is fantastic. A must listen for NFL fans.

Gill isn’t one of the slim ball sports betting “gurus” peddling picks for money.

If you want to learn a little about sports gambling and pick up some nuggets that will help you make a wager... look no further than Gill and his Beating the Book podcast.

In 42 years I can count on one hand the number of sports broadcasters that qualify as ‘required listening.’
This is one of those people.

Gil and the crew do a great job of mixing entertainment with great NFL info. Must add to the weekly rotation.

I’ve listened to Gill Alexander for years. Whatever show or format he produced the very best gambling content out there - just the right balance of statistical based insights and entertainment. What’s more, Gill clearly loves and respects radio and broadcast history. Everything he has done is crispy produced, interesting and consistent. So it’s disappointing that the famed Mega Pod has declined so much recently. The rotating guest is almost always the most interesting and informed perspective which says a lot… most of the rest of the analysis is basically Todd telling the same jokes and making gut calls. Every episode has sound issues, Gill sounds disengaged and don’t think I learn anything new in an hour plus of unfocused chatter. I hope the MegaPod can come back - better produced and better informed but it’s no longer a must listen.

Guessing lines on Monday's with Chris is fantastic and informative. Unfortunately the megapod has gone so far downhill that it’s become the exact opposite and is unbearable.

Gil’s mancrush on Todd has gone too far. Over the years the megapod changed from situational analysis, trends, and actual stats to the jerry springer show where the guests yell about their opinions and Gil referees and laughs.

PLEASE ditch the new guests and go back to actual analytics-based talk.
