Bovada's At Odds Podcast

Patrick and Seth catch their breath in what's usually a quieter time of the year to look at the sports of summer. How do bookmakers keep up with the in-game odds when the Angels scored 24 runs in a game? And for low-data events like the London MLB series, how is the over/under handicapped?

In the aftermath of the NBA Draft the fellas discuss the controversy surrounding Shams Charania and the 2nd overall pick. In the light of suspensions of NFL players for betting on sports, what are the leagues (and their partners) getting right and wrong?

And while the Saudi Public Investment Fund isn't completely over the finish line with the PGA they're continuing to look elsewhere and flex their financial muscle. Which team (or league) will they next look to add to their trophy case?

"The Junkyard Dog" Jerome Williams joins the show and he and Pat discuss their favorite Toronto Raptors memories including an iconic Williams dunk over an NBA hall of famer. Seth discusses Georgetown, and Syracuse and how the NIL is continuing to disrupt the college basketball landscape.

And with Bradley Beal traded to the Suns the fellas take a look at the updated futures board and debate the merits of chemistry and cohesion vs so-called Super Teams.

Pat and Seth round up the US Open where Rory was once again a bridesmaid, Wyndham Clark made the big shots when it counted, and a major golf event where you could literally hear a pin drop.

The fellas react to the PGA-LIV merger announcement and what this means for the future of pro golf. How does the PGA reconcile its past comments with the reality of this new deal? How do the “loyal” PGA players feel after the heads of the tour ultimately decided there was a price that'd be worth it?

Pat and Seth look further into the concept of sportswashing touching on World Cups, Olympic games and the current state of pro sports ownership around the world. Can we finally stop looking to large corporations and non-profits (that create a good deal of profits for their partners) as moral arbiters?

And just in case you were interested in betting content, Patrick breaks down the US Open including whose favored and where the midweek money is coming in.

The Heat have tied up the NBA Finals at one game a piece with the series heading back to Miami. What are the updated series odds at Bovada and how much is Patrick sweating a Heat win now? The fellas discuss which player is the face of the league in 2023.

Bruised but ultimately not beaten the Miami Heat survived a potentially historic Celtics comeback to claim their spot in the NBA Finals where once again they will be underdogs. Can the Nuggets knock them off to claim their first franchise title or will Playoff Jimmy burn the oddsmakers one last time?

And not to be outdone in their own backyard the Florida Panthers prepare to lace up against the Vegas Knights with both franchises looking for their first Stanley Cup win. Vegas might be the ever-so-slight favorites but after knocking off the Bruins, the Leafs (sigh), and Canes this Panthers team definitely does not feel like an underdog.

Patrick returns from his overseas excursion and he and Seth take a look back at the PGA Championship weekend as both Brooks Koepka and the LIV Tour claim a massive win.

In the NBA it's becoming harder and harder to figure out who or what is going to stop Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. How bad is this result for the Bovada's futures board? Can the Denver Nuggets bail out the bookies fresh off of their sweep of the Lakers?

And while the NHL may not have big market teams remaining in the quest for Lord Stanley's Cup there's been no complaint about the quality of the games. Can Florida continue their improbable run? And where does Bobrovsky's playoff performance rank vs the all-time greats?

The podcast goes global as Patrick joins us from Ireland, where he continually tells everyone he is on a "work" trip.

2x WNBA All-Star Ivory Latta joined the show (not from Ireland). She had an open discussion about the state of women's basketball as the WNBA season is about to tip off.

And in the West, the Oilers have come out firing to take both the series and the overall Stanley Cup odds by force. Can McDavid and Draisatl bring Lord Stanley back to Edmonton for the first time since Gretzky and Kurri?

In the NBA the West is as wide open as it gets with the fashionably late Lakers and Warriors rounding into form at the right time and the Suns and Nuggets continuing their consistent yearlong play. And in the East can Jimmy Butler and Coach Spoelstra's Heat keep shocking the oddsmakers? Is it Boston's conference to lose?

Pat and Seth take a look at the last few weeks of the Premier League regular season to check on Arsenal's title odds, Liverpool's top-4 odds, and who's staring down the barrel of relegation

With the Leafs and Devils both safely through the first round Patrick and Seth give an unbiased look at round two and beyond. And with Boston dropping a shocker against the Panthers who's the new Stanley Cup favorite?

And while Seth may grumble at blowouts in close-outs the boys give their due to a compelling opening round of the NBA playoffs. With Milwaukee stunned who's now got the inside track in the East? And in the West what kind of ratings and betting records with the Warriors/Lakers produce?

And it wouldn't be May without the Kentucky Derby. Patrick goes through the favorites and where the early action is.

The Packers and Jets blew up the futures board with a megadeal sending Aaron Rodgers to New York in return for picks as the former Packers QB finally gets his wish to Lambeau Leap out of Green Bay.
