How 2 Bet

With the NFL season coming into its home stretch, the How 2 Bet boys take a look at who's a contender and pretender over the last few weeks. We recap our weekend, talk about Marq and D's dwindling Survivor pool, and cover a big bet Mike placed but didn't cash. We close out searching for a new name for our "Lock It Down" segment and laugh about the Urban Meyer debacle.

We've got all four of the How 2 Bet boys back for this week's episode. This week we recap how our picks did for college football's championship weekend and take a look ahead at our picks for the NFL this coming week. There's also a debate over how many teams the college football playoff should expand to.

Plus after Marques casually references an inside joke from our college years, we go off on a tangent about the guy who emceed our student union's bowling night - man we referred to for years as Dan Gadoolie. That was not his real name.

In our latest episode, the How 2 Bet boys recap their Thanksgiving weekend - picks and all. We also cover a wide range of sports and non-sports topics such as why you should avoid the siren's song of a sportsbook app's free bet, the Washington Football Team's turnaround, Russell Willson and Cam Newton's downfall, and the fashion sense of the Virginia Tech Hokies new head football coach.

It's Thanksgiving week, and that means a couple of things. Family...turkey...NFL football. This year, you can add "getting parlays from the How 2 Bet boys" to that list. 

In our first-ever Thanksgiving Parlay Spectacular, listen in as we concoct two parlays in real-time: one that spans all three Thanksgiving NFL games and another same game parlay based on one of them. We also give picks for each of the three games taking place on Turkey Day - Lions-Bears, Raiders-Cowboys, and Bills-Saints. 

In addition, this week we also cover...

A recap of how we did last weekend, including a successful Monday night same game parlay. 

A quick lesson on how Daniel was able to mitigate one of his losses by hedging. 

Our weekend Lock It Downs for both college and the pros.

If you've ever wanted to truly get inside the mind of an amateur gambler, this is the episode you need to listen to. 

Or if you yourself are an amateur gambler, you could just keep listening to yourself, I guess? Anyway, just download it to hear which Friday night game Mike is going to whiff on this week. 

The How 2 Bet boys are back with another three-man weave of an episode. In this wide-ranging installment of your favorite sports gambling podcast, we talk about Greg's mini-heater in college football inexplicably involving UConn and Marques's bad beat involving Jaylen Waddle. We also give our Lock It Downs for the upcoming weekend in college football.

This week, we're coming at you with a little something different. In this episode, the How 2 Bet boys let you listen in as they watch (and live bet on) a couple of games. No picks or predictions, just real-time reaction and some insight into the psychology of some Friday night bets. 

On Friday, November 5, we got together to watch the Virginia Tech-Boston College game. While we couldn't bet on that, we talk a little bit about the game and the state of our alma mater's football program as it happens. Then we enter in live bets on some NBA action. 

Which team will score the 210th point in Knicks-Bucks? Who gets the first bucket of Warriors-Pelicans? What kind of harebrained same-game parlay will the boys draw up in the pursuit of untold fortune? 

For the answers to all these questions and more, check out this week's ep.

If a Lock It Down pick hits but nobody heard it, does it really count? 

We've got a three-man show this week and we start out recounting the best "Friday Night Mikes" pick of the season that nobody heard about (and Mike wasn't even able to bet on). We also cover the Cincinnati/New York Jets upset that sunk Mike's Survivor Pool hopes. 

From there we talk about Greg's NBA single-player parlay strategy and talk about some major NFL stories that dropped earlier in the day like...

Odell Beckham Sr.'s social media outburst

The Ruggs tragedy

Aaron Rodgers testing positive for COVID

We finish out with a fresh set of Lock It Down picks you can take directly to the bank...the blood bank.

Most weeks, our show is about what to do as a sports gambler just getting started. 

This week? It's about what NOT to do. In a new spinoff we call "Beginner's Luck," our two beginners check in to review their progress so far.

In this episode, Mike and Greg sit down to recap their first several weeks as gamblers, what they've done wrong, and what beginners should avoid doing. 

Plus: Mike tells a story about getting a former Super Bowl MVP's autograph on a weird item.

The NBA is back - and so are we. This week we cover some of the hottest topics facing the NBA this year including how the Lakers will gel, whether Kyrie's absence will hurt Brooklyn, and who our non-Bucks/Lakers/Nets favorites to win the title are. We also give a primer on what to look for when betting on the NBA in general. All that, plus our Lock It Down recap and picks for the NFL/college slate coming up this weekend.

"Can you explain for the listeners who don't know...who or what is 'Ovi?'" 

The How 2 Bet Boys may have been down a man, but they didn't let that stop them. This week we tackle live betting and the NHL. 

We go into live betting during a college football game we actually bet on, Appalachian State vs. Louisiana Lafayette. Daniel breaks down betting on hockey and gives a mini-preview of the upcoming NHL season. Then Mike gives a recap of Wilder-Fury III before we give our Lock It Down picks of the week.
