    Brent!
    Great pod but someone please tell numbnuts not to unnecessarily correct Brent after bringing up Utah Valley vs North Dakota being basketball and not football…dude needs to be reigned in a little
  • BennyTrill
    Show got annoying
    Todd wants to be the host and Soyboy Gill lets him ruin the show. The weekly guests obviously don’t like this setup anymore. Long time listener to unsubscribe mid season
  • rage550
    Good
    I really like this show but honestly the “yinzer” thing and the awkward singing is getting old
  • BravesNY
    Todd makes the show unlistenable.

    planted and shoved down our throats with no merit
    why some podcasts get blown up and shoved down our throats ? DewAyne Wade is an elite leftist shill. Without a tranny son, he’s just another low iq ball player
  • eecs06
    Gill is great…..
    ….but his Achilles heel is he thinks Todd is the funniest person in the world. Will is awesome. Kelley is too. Todd………not so much.
  • ngjingji
    Best pod out there
    Will is a great addition and Todd is hilarious . Love this trio . Smart but don’t take themselves too seriously
  • Turfcapper
    Wishnev is a national treasure
    Or a real piece of work … either way, always find him entertaining!
  • Informed tipper
    Great listen
    Must listen to every week!!!! Fun and entertaining too.

    From the best to a mess
    I’ve listened to Gill Alexander for years. Whatever show or format he produces 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… Every episode has sound issues, Gill sounds disengaged and don’t think I learn anything new in an hour plus of unfocused chatter. I’m certain the Mega Pod will make a come back but it’s no longer a must listen.

    love show but..
    Came our to the D . saw where Gill was doing the BTB show. was actually there while he was doing it. however some guy chased me away as i was watching.. was very rude and disrespectful to me and told me not to be a bother to Gill while hes on air. so standing close by, being quiet, and waiting to possibly meet Gill is considered a nuisance. love the show, longtime listener, but disappointed in today
  • SimbaWilliam
    Todd ruins the show
    Fun to listen to, except when Todd talks. He is almost always loud and obnoxious. And lately, the audio has been terrible. In the last episode, the worst audio was Gill's, and he's the main person to listen to.
  • The Bronze Bull
    Unplayable
    I love the content, been listening for a couple years now. But the audio quality is so terrible lately that it’s almost impossible to listen to. Hopefully they can sort it out soon!
  • TMikeMac
    Has turned into one of my favorite pods
    Great analysis by guys who know gambling.
  • 1023Rye
    Todd makes show unlistenable
    Would give 5 stars, but Todd is an absolute show killer.
  • keven70
    It’s Getting Old
    Todd’s hatred of Christianity is a little over the top. We get it you hate Christians. Just talk about the games.
  • Wongtongchong
    Gil rules
    Gil is a natural on air talent. Relatable, likeable and knowledgeable. Todd is great on Thursday show as well.
  • Bobby Donnelly
    Funny, educational and very intelligent
    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.
  • JklipNYC
    Could be better
    There is a sense of high school banter to this pod., seems a little much. Todd makes the pod pretty much unlistenable…the Dolphins fight song was bearable. Steelers accent is a hard pass. Some talking over each other, and Gill asking people “are you good?”.
  • pickford76
    Terrible
    If you want to listen to a group of men yammer and babble about content readily available anywhere, this is the podcast for you. I found it unlistenable but hey to each their own.
  • Sport Savant
    More Tennis!
    Simply the best: Gill & Drew talked for over an hour and I still wanted more. They could do this every day - and they may on The Numbers Game.
  • BleacherReportDomination6969
    Always listen on Mondays. Listen on Thursdays when you have time.
    I highly suggest you do not tail the weekly picks these guys give on the Mega Pod. They aren’t particularly sharp in the NFL, but that’s to be expected when you’re betting into lines midday on a Thursday. Todd says it all the time, pre-flop in the NFL is too hard nowadays and there’s only a few people who can do it profitably(I am also not one of them). I think Gill’s best sport is Tennis, but I’ve never looked into it enough to say if he’s better in that market. The pod still makes for an entertaining listen, especially when they have a good guest. I enjoy the analysis that goes into survivor and the last two questions. Gill is a fantastic host that is adept in managing the many personalities. Todd and Mike both have their moments. That being said, Guessing Lines w/ Chris Andrew’s is some of my favorite content in the space. The Monday show is a must listen.

    Hey Gil..
    Glad your back….my condolences on your loss🤢

    A bunch of squares
    Gil, you are the biggest sucker and square I’ve ever seen. Fade this guy and you’ll win money!!!
  • brad_ike12
    Absolute must listen
    Gil and the crew do a great job of mixing entertainment with great NFL info. Must add to the weekly rotation.
  • nickhmzzf
    Great show
    Love the show, always look forward to it. Why can’t I find Mike Palm’s show on the Apple podcast app?
  • lovingbbwsisnotacrime
    wishnev for the win
    todd carries the show. i gain a few inches every time he sings the miami dolphins song.
  • fastforwarding when RJ talks
    Having to listen to Todd is inhumane
    I gave it a one star. Solid analysis most of the time, unfortunately most of the time is spent with guest todd not shutting up, interrupting salient points to make his rants, observations or go off on his tangents . If he’d shut up or even better, be dropped, this rating would easily be at least a four star review..
  • JaxAlex
    I agree, too much Todd!!
    Sometime Mike, Gill, and the guest can't state a full opinon because when they pause to finish to a sentence, Todd interjects with a comment. He sometimes does this after every sentence and the podcast becomes difficult to listen to. Then he has to make sure he sings the Dolphins fight song and gets his impressions in. If he has such a big fanbase, please give him his own podcast.
  • Mhartman62
    Too much Todd
    Enjoy Gil. Very professional and looks at gambling like I do. Mike Palm is a pleasure to listen to his picks. Also enjoy Todd, but at times he over runs the show and when he does it’s like scraping finger nails across the chalk board. On more than one occasion I’ve had to just shut down the show and hope for a better episode next week. Not saying to get rid of Todd. But less is better.
  • Hinzman1205
    Love the show, but need help.
    Love the show, I listen every Monday when you guess lines and Friday on the mega pod. I have one problem and it’s a major problem for me. The volume is so low that I’m not able to listen through an aux or BT connection in my car. The ads are normal levels but soon as you guys come on I have to turn my phone and radio to max levels and if I’m going over 30 mph I can’t make out what is being said. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • SC Dave M
    Great listen for NFL games
    I personally don’t care for the guessing lines pod, but the NFL preview pick pod is very well done.
  • Brad Plogsted
    Great guests give helpful insights
    Please drop Todd Wishnev, whose useless game analysis you can hear from your typical hotdog munching loser in any run of the mill sportsbook. His lack of respect for the format and others on the pod has led to me skipping forward repeatedly when he starts talking. His 15 minutes of fame have long passed.
  • I'm Keith Hernandez
    Guessing Lines is a 5; MegaPod is a 0
    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.
  • ForeLord4
    Gil is clueless
    Straight trash gambling content. This guy is broke. He touts crap picks. Every fraud and fugazi participates on this show

    Gill is the Man
    Authentic Educational Entertaining 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.
  • The SiaMAK
    Must Listen
    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.
  • In the hole 100
    Insightful on Vegas, not on picks
    It’s impossible for anyone to predict the future, but I feel that if you’re making a podcast that solely discusses picks you should do a little better than Gill and his gang of bookies does at picking games. That said, have learned a lot about the bookmaking process, what to look for when making bets, etc. but I certainly haven’t done well in the month I’ve been listening to their picks. If you’re reading this, I wish you better luck.
  • NE1469IM
    Great listen
    There was a pod a couple of weeks ago where I learned more about bookmaking than I had learned in my first 50 years on this planet. It’s just so good.
  • M Bohen
    Always a great listen.
    Been listening to Gill since the Betting Dork days. Great material, great insight, great guests. Had pleasure of meeting Chris Andrews, a true gentleman. Add this to your must listen pods
  • PorkPike
    Thanks!
    Been listening to the podcast for about a month now. U & Chris @andrewssports offer up great advice. Nailed a 4 team parlay this week! U guys are awesome!
  • THE THREE MUSKAQUEERS
    Stick to sports
    Gill-stop bringing speculative identity politics into this. Millions of counter points to what you said that would embarrass you. Also, listening to this podcast exposes some of you and your guests actual feelings on others. Think about it. Again, please stick strictly to sports or create a new podcast for that or I’ll have to stop listening. Thanks.
  • jp54545454
    What happened???
    This use to be my favorite podcast with Marco and Ace as guests. Without them it has turned in to a dumpster fire. The new guys are boring to listen to and are 1/100th the handicappers that’s Marco and Ace are. Bring them back!!
  • Jiggs44
    Great information
    Easy to listen to, great information. Look forward to the podcast drop each week. Cant miss
  • sancheznick
    Gill is a Class Act
    Gill just simply crushes this podcast every. Single. Week. Succinct, in-depth, funny, information / betting angles from people who live in this racket (s/o Jimmy). You can’t go wrong with this.
