EPB Podcast

Sports Betting has grown exponentially more popular among sports viewers since its legalization in over 30 US states between 2018 and now. In anticipation of the Champions League Final this weekend, I've decided to try my hand in the betting arena and have enlisted the help of Doctor Locks (@dr.locks.md) to show me the ropes. I mean, I watch and make predictions on soccer games all the time anyway, might as well put a little cash on it. From betting on who lifts the trophy to how many corner kicks there will be, catch what predictions we make a head of the Manchester City vs Inter Milan matchup.
