Sleepless in September

September 30, 2022 03:00 - 59 minutes - 21.3 MB

We're Back!  We return from the international break and dive into the week ahead, answering a few questions along the way.  We take a look at a some alternative captain options, try to figure out the upcoming Arsenal/City dilemma, and take a quick look to see when pitchers and catchers report.  Then on to some bets, including some CFB from James Cunningham, NFL, and close with a few EPL bets. Glad to be back and please rate and review. Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentelme...

International Break Blues

September 24, 2022 06:00 - 59 minutes - 21.5 MB

A true waste of an episode this week neither covering the past week or what's upcoming all that well.  A few league updates, some NFL bets and some late College Football entries from James Cunningham to wrap things up.  Let's hope the players make it through the next week+ unscathed.

Beware the Foreigner Belt

September 16, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 49 MB

Well, games are back, we think, at least some of them.  We recap the week that wasn't and accept that fact the sometimes things happen that complicate our existences.  We then ramble our way through the Champions League results for a few of the PL squads and then shift over to bets in an even more non-directional form.  If you're reading this far, don't forget the GW deadline is Friday at 1:30 EST.

If you thought last year was chaos...

September 10, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 26.6 MB

Well, we all knew this year had the potential to get crazy but just when things were looking semi-stable, Week 7 showed up and kicked open the turnstiles of the Madness Saloon. Good luck writing the rest of the script.  We start with a Tuchel sacking shocker, then discuss Liverpool's many woes, and then a Spurs/City chat.  But none of that matters now because the whole game is on hold.  Stick around until the end for some CFB bets from James Cunningham and we will come back next week and try...

Oof, off to a rough start both on and off the court in season 2.  We start with a consolidated recap and GW 2 preview and then move to La Ligarie, celebrating a highly unexpected week 1 leader.  We then jump into another time-shortened round of bets and call it quits.  We almost got you nothing, but instead we got you a little something.  And yes, we realize nothing may well have been the better option for all involved.   Follow us @FPLGamble on Twitter Opening Music by The Tan and Sober G...

July 18, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 24.7 MB

The game is back and so are we with an unfortunate continuance of the same quality of content we provided you in Season 1.  We start with a unfocused discussion of the 2022-23 season and then move to some predictions for top-4 (and 5-6) and relegation.  We then somehow fall into an Adama Traoré bet that can only bring shame to all involved.

Double the Fun

May 06, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 25.5 MB

The Beginning of the End

February 11, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 23 MB

Another already outdated episode mixed in with what may now be an endless stream of double gameweeks.  We start with a some transfer talk (spoiler alert: these moves did not go well) and then move to a few listener questions.  We then jump straight to bets because the La Ligarie update was already out of date by the time we finished recording.  We'll be back next week with a more structured episode recapping GW 25 and prepping for the monster double GW 26.

December 17, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 25 MB

We open by discussing the madness that has hit the EPL this week in terms of Covid and the associated schedules.  We then switch to La Ligarie but veer right off course back into Covid (38:55).  Then its a very brief visit with Anton and a user error on the betting section by Moffett.  Sorry for the rushed effort this week but seems right in line with the mess that is the rest of the planet at the end of 2021.   Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Well, Pat and Pete finally got something to work, though it’s a stretch to say that we’re off to anything but a shaky start.  It’s a work in progress, folks, and since it is very unlikely anyone will be listening, that gives us some time to improve.  We start the episode with a recap of our scores (1:47), a recap of the games (7:45), transfer talk and captaincy (26:50) and then some ill-advised gambling and a La Ligarie recap to close things out (51:50).  Opening and filler music provided by...
