If you’re a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, you’re no doubt familiar with Cousin Sal. Sal has been a hardcore sports bettor for years, and he shares that knowledge with all of us in Against All Odds.

As you’ve probably guessed, much of what happens on the Against All Odds podcast is utter nonsense. He and his buddies will invent lines on anything they can imagine laying bets on which is wildly entertaining to me — probably because my buddies and I do the same thing.

Sal will also have special guests pop on to chat about various prop bets ahead of significant events. Sometimes he even gets well off the beaten path for things like WWE betting.

If you want a good laugh and some reliable sports betting talk, Against All Odds may well be your next can’t miss podcast.

Raskin and Brennan offer up a diverse group of guests on their podcasts from politicians to bookies, and of course, plenty of professional sports bettors. Don’t fret, though. No matter who their guests are, they close each episode making picks, placing varying wagers, and doing their best to avoid making a litany of real sucker bets.

Gamble On is the perfect blend of serious sports betting news and breakdowns paired with a good bit of goofing off and hamming it up for entertainment’s sake.
