In this episode, host Shane Mercer is joined by Andrew Pace and John Wilson for an action-packed show that dives deep into the unpredictable world of sports betting. If you thought getting paid out by a sportsbook was hard, wait until you hear about the latest verification drama—complete with demands for notarized mental health certificates and proof you’re not a gambling addict.

The crew breaks down the highs and lows from last weekend’s football picks, gives a lightning-fast preview of college championships and NFL matchups (spoiler: unders are the theme!), and offers insights on betting market movements as brands like ESPN Bet morph into ScoreBet.

Plus, Andrew Pace shares eye-opening stories about battling through bizarre sportsbook verification hurdles and fighting for payouts, raising important questions about how far operators can go to avoid paying winners. With some major news out of Missouri and the shifting landscape of regulated betting, it’s an episode full of real-life stories, betting strategy, and a look ahead to what’s got the hosts hyped for the weekend.
