Best Sports Gambling Stories

Welcome to Episode 20 of Bet Slippin’ Podcast, SportsbookWire’s sports betting podcast. This week, Geoff Clark and Esten McLaren break down the NFL’s Week 13 slate with their picks, predictions and best bets for each game by the odds and lines at BetMGM.

Enjoy our best (and worst) gambling stories. Since this isn’t the dawn of sports gambling, some SB Nation writers have entertaining personal experiences from past sports betting that more.

Week 13 sees some interesting battles for playoff positioning and some other lopsided spreads and anticipated blowouts. Geoff and Esten are coming off a 1-1 tie in their season-long competition in Week 12. They ramp up their head-to-head action for this week as Geoff goes back to the New York Jets as big home underdogs against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The hosts tear into the Denver Broncos and give yet another reason to back the Kansas City Chiefs as the biggest favorites of Week 13.

The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on byes, while the Monday afternoon game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Football Team and the Tuesday night game between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys were off the board when this week’s episode was recorded.

1. D uring the early morning hours of August 23, Dave Oancea made sports memorabilia history when he sold a one-of-a-kind signed Mike Trout rookie card for $3.9 million during an online auction.
2. The world of sports betting is just as vast as it is fascinating. That's why we've created a guide to some of the most interesting areas of the sports betting universe, ranging from noted celebrity sportsbook aficionados to the best Hollywood movies about sports betting.
3. ‘The Man with the $100,000 Breasts: and Other Gambling Stories’ by Michael Konik. This book aims to offer the reader a glimpse into the truly unique world of betting. Konik perfectly chronicles the high roller, the debased gamblers and the sports betting hustlers in between.

Geoff has been crushing it on college football of late and gives his best picks of the week.
