BK + Kendra are a frequent in the podcast rotation. But this Emerson guy comes on and I don’t think I could get much further than Packers - Bears. Can we AI filter all his non-sense out of this pod?

I listen to all these shows and usually like them, but the guy Emerson they put on once in a while is terrible. He’s like a child trying to make jokes that aren’t funny.

Great show guys! I have a great promotional idea, run a contest where the winner gets to wash out Kendra’s potty mouth with a fresh bar of Lifebouy soap. This and a video of the occasion to enjoy during the off-season. 😂

It’s a pretty good show but it’s only 40% advertisements. Let’s get it to 70%.

Shoutout the producer for the k camp what yall know about that lol

Please remove Kendra. I love stucky and the action network but this is brutal

I’m liking the new team this year but writing this on occasion of being 21 minutes into an episode and 4-5 minutes of it has been about football: there was an opening conversation about food (yes, I get rapport and dialogue is important) and two very long waves of commercials.

Awesome job flying solo Stuck on the week 4 recap pod - glad you stuck with it…lol… despite being down two members. Despite the haters, Love the new format…Simon and Chad got a little stale for me.

Solid solo pod for the first episode. Love hearing first reactions after the slate has finished. Gotta add best call/ worst call/ bet regret like BBOC.

Shame on Chad and Simon for just leaving this show without explanation. Screw the listeners, we don’t need to know why, right? That being said, this review is not about them. It’s entirely a rating of the new format. If you want to know what and who Kendra Middleton hates? Listen to this show because she will tell you (as if we wanted to know). Want to know about purchasing her feet pics? She’s your girl. Poor Stuckey has to endure this madness and is probably wondering how he got roped into this. I’m lucky, I can unsubscribe. That poor guy is stuck.

This show you to be awesome but it has failed on every level. Lack of real analysis and just a sham of program. You should of never switched it out totally trash

No real insight. Hating on players for no real reason. Russel Wilson balled out on Dallas and gets called cringe. Half the bets from last week lost. Yeah that aint it.

I’m saddened to hear Chad and Simon aren’t on the show anymore. I gave the new show a few episodes but doesn’t have same feel at all. It is a lot of bizarre discussions, feels more like friends talking randomly at times. There is a lot of bias opinions and too much about one’s hate for certain players or their team. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll listen.

Where are the hosts???this isn’t “The Favorites”!!! Great job stealing the show’s title. I trudged through first 10 mins of most recent show listening to stories about pets…waiting for Simon and Chad to chime in. This show is cooked.

i’ve been a very long time listener to this podcast. never left a review. great job with the new show!

You cannot spend half the show talking about foot fetishes and pregnant shrimp. You are a sports betting podcast. Unbelievable.

I have listened to this pod for years when it was Chad and Scooch. This format is great. Chad was starting to talk too much and repeat old stories like you old grandpa. Simon started to buy into Chad favoring narratives rather than lines and actual data. This new format is great and of course Stuckey is the GOAT.

Pod went from sports gambling to a chick discussing feet pics and having sex with rainbow shrimp. Action network stays losing.

It’s so predictable that they laugh at the public for taking Eagles week 1 vs the cowboys because their whole schtick is taking the underdogs. The Eagles obviously are going to beat the brakes off the Cowboys like they did in the NFC chip and the Super Bowl. They laugh about taking the Eagles. They actually know football, but all they got is Go Panthers! Go Cowboys!😂 they also voted for Kamala100% liberal legacy media

Listen to episode 62 of the Circle’s Off podcast

Season right around the corner! Maybe this is the year I finally get some swag, boys! 😉

Action has to put the “Simon professional bettor” character to bed. Everyone knows he’s fake. Nobody takes this seriously. It’s insulting to sell this to subscribers, the public, etc. He’s a door dash driver living out a fantasy in his head. It’s impossible to take the company seriously as long as you continue to push this.

Dead wrong on both Chiefs and under for Super Bowl. Cherry on the top of a horrific season of NFL picks, yet Millman somehow still cocky. In conclusion, UNSUBSCRIBED

Everyone wants to complain about their sour year. They hardly mention how these two have done very well beforehand. That’s fine it’s a what have you done lately society. At least recognize these two give us entertaining listening week after week and during the offseason. Bet on games you believe in. Hating on someone else’s success or failure just screams the hater is a failure themself. -airballwelding

Can’t stand listening to Chad! He is always wrong but always backtracks after losing about how it’s not his fault/his insight but something else that went wrong that could not be predicted. Also can’t stand all of the useless guests, mostly media members just giving their 2 cents, that they bring on this show. I would guess most of them have never actually placed a bet in their life. Leave the guests for the pods in the summer where you aren’t discussing betting angles. That way people can skip having to listen to pro wrestlers, authors, and fantasy football guys. Still like Simon and his insight, but rough betting year from him.

I assume no one listens to this for actual betting advice (or if they do they went broke ages ago), but there’s still some entertainment value here, if nothing else for the gaping chasm between their confidence (which I assume is tongue in cheek at this point) and results, like when Chad talks about doing hours of “research” to come up with a record that is roughly what you’d get if you had a monkey throw darts. Also, Simon: You can be wary of something or you can be leery of it - both of those mean suspicious. Weary means tired.

Let the blame game commence! They’ve fallen off the edge and are panicking. They’ve lost control. They are on tilt and I’m here for it. Such a bad year of results. Historically their “system” is profitable I guess. This bad run leaves no other choice than to fade. Also, the ads are horrible.

Chad makes the pod worse than the picks somehow.. 1 hr pod.. 40 mins of Chad talking and 20 mins of 1-4 picks.. every single episode

I just am not buying what these guys are selling. No chance they are betting big money on these picks. I have a feeling the fix is in with the casino sponsor.. The reasons they have for some of these picks is insane. I have been listening to basically get a handle on what NOT to do. Crazy thing is i had heard good things about this pod a few years back.

Gentlemen - I get it , been in this game for a long time so you win some you lose some, but give me 60% People are starting to clown you so step your game up Mpk

This podcast is just bad now. No other way to put it. They talk about 8-10 lines they like each week, end up making 5 “bets” each week on Sunday that they generally don’t spend much time talking about on the weekday pods and these are lines that are unavailable. They grade their success on this and still are laughably bad. Simon clearly lies about how much money he bets and about being a pro gambler

Show was much better even just last year but now it is just full of ads, self-importance, and bad picks.

You can save yourself some time and just pick underdogs. Show is full of excuses. Saying things don’t bounce their way when they lose. Simon hunter is also not a “pro better”. He’s a runner for people who actually bet large amounts of money…. They literally celebrate 2-3 weeks. Win the game by a point? The right call easily. Lose by 31… well, bad luck

Always be weary of a sports gambling podcast sponsored by a casino like this one is, they are touting bad picks and trying to influence the wrong side of where you should be at best and at worst, they are just poor bettors with terrible takes. Either way, it’s not something you should put much stock into. There are much better options available in the market.

.Hey Matt. I know you acknowledged the uptick in Trump like constant pitches for things. But. Been here since scooch days. You’ve turned this into a background pod while working on other things pod. Sadly from one of my look ahead too shows ..,.,,,,,,,and the boys picks have sunk with the weight of their advertising as well. Once again greed and self importance has won the day in America. This isn’t how Buffalo people are built. And you know it. Have a wonderful family thanksgiving buddy. That’s where the real wealth resides. Heading down to the beach … 🤗.

And this is the most listened to football podcast? Even Money with Ross and Fez is much better if you actually want to make money and they are actually transparent. Simon bets Cowboys +4 in Divisional round vs 49ers and they lost and the next podcast you go over and post how you took the under as a bet on the pod but not the line. Hmmm. No transparency.

Not sure if these guys are now shills for Vegas or if they really are just this cold, but wow, they’ve been putrid. They’ve had 1 winning week, and multiple 1-4 weeks. I get that first month of the NFL is tricky but most respectable touts find their legs by mid October. Not these guys. Do your listeners a favor and admit whatever model you think your using is broken. Spend a show discussing and dissecting that, and what you’re doing to adjust to a market that looks different than what you expected. Stop plowing through shows like you’re still industry leading experts with all the answers.

Love listening to you guys. What I think would be even more awesome on each week’s recap, is if you could let us know what the record is on each of the shows picks (Exec. Decision, Simon Says, Big Balls, Fox Hole).

Why does it take so long for you guys to upload to Apple podcast these days? I spent my Thursday afternoons listening on YouTube with my phone unlocked in my pocket.

These MoMos fired a bunch of people, and kept notorious liar Simon employed. What a joke! Listen to episode 62 of the circles off podcast to see how much of a liar and joke Simon Hunter is. Blatant liar, wannabe sharp. He definitely doesn’t bet 1/10th as much as he makes u believe he does

Entertaining podcast that I have listened to for years but they have really fallen. Picks have been pretty horrible. To the extent they are celebrating 2-3 weeks live on the podcast. If you have been fading them you can do well.

You need to start calling the record for your special picks (foxhole, Simon Says, Exec Decision). The fact that you don’t make them largely meaningless.

Good show for following trends and stats, but I genuinely wonder if they actually watch the games. There’s no real analysis added other than just betting trends and historical data which you can get from reading articles. I just can’t trust these guys as experts. They say TJ Watt didn’t really affect the game when he single handedly ended the game against the giants with a strip sack. Chad apparently thinks Tua is the only player on the Dolphins. He repeatedly just refers to them as “Tua”. No mention of multiple injuries on defense including the best DT which is a huge factor against Buffalo. One week they’re betting against the packers because the “pros” say Jordan Love isn’t the same after the injury. He takes another injury and they’re all in on the packers because there’s no way he doesn’t play through it. Giving it 5 stars because I do enjoy listening and getting different perspectives and angles that I wouldn’t hear elsewhere but I’ve stopped letting this podcast alter how I view the teams throughout the league.

This show was pretty good the last few years. I used to enjoy the picks and analysis. But this year and last, they contradict themselves and it actually sounds like they don’t know football. If Simon is a pro, how is he consistently below .500 and always asking other pros picks? All these guys do is contradict themselves and don’t win. And yes, the ads are terrible.

listening to Chad‘s heartbreak from Jaden Daniels Hail Mary live is about the best thing ever

Love Chad and Simon….the content is gold and as always much appreciated!

Chad and Simon have fell off the cliff trash.

Great show, great stats & cool to listen to a professional and get their insight. Yeah there are too many commercials but stop crying everyone you can skip them easy. A few clicks to fast forward is well worth the listen. Keep up the good work.

Like others have said, ads are terrible. Luckily I can skip them. When the show starts I can hit the “skip 15sec” button about 18-20 times before you get to substance. And then do that 5 more times throughout the show. Some good analysis on games, but it’s easy info to find yourself. Simon seems very patronizing to “average joe bettors”. As a “pro”, he falls for the traps he claims to always have the edge on. Also not transparent on the previous records on the Action App. Seems sketchy hiding all their losses. No way Simon makes money as a gambler, he’s always down units on the app, which I assume he would put his most confident bets on. There’s better material out there. This is usually 5th on my list of shows and I usually don’t even make it there anymore.

As others have noted, the amount of ads have gotten completely out of control…I’d be curious to know how much ad time they average per episode. The show now has so little substance now and seems to be focused solely on trends, bits, and patting themselves on the back - with no talk about X’s and O’s, no “inside information”, and no discussions about what is happening on the field.
