    Great podcast
    Must listen. Should do more than twice a week. Guys not taking this stuff or yourselves too seriously makes it a lot of fun to listen.
  • clittttt
    D3 and Sal are legends - Sal solo is a tough listen.
    Yo Cousin Sal … just bring in the D3 for every episode… yall together are the best. But the whole late night monologue vibe of your solo episodes is really hard to get through… love you but you need the D3.
  • SubShark
    Great banter
    This pod is great. Love the game recaps specifically. Wish I could watch on YouTube

    Meatballs, I like to skip past the celebs to listen to the D3. Help me out w a timestamp? RIP Johnny Hockey

    The Best Podcast Since…
    This is the best podcast since Saving Private Ryan.
  • Tron Jelly
    Good stuff!
    I took Sal’s NBA playoff randomness theory and bet the Cavs -9.5 in Game 2 against the Celtics. Best tip ever! You guys are the best. Even Harry. Andy Reid is overrated
  • 4️⃣1️⃣4️⃣
    Gonna miss the all the Football talk....
    ...but looking forward to all the post-game, post-bets (betaches?) after the 58th the Big One.
  • dfa carter
    D3?
    It’s pretty weak that you no longer say Degenerate Trifecta. I’ll give Sal the benefit of the doubt here that it wasn’t his idea. I’m thinking it was an edict by either Spotify or FanDuel
  • Haydes55
    A+
    More fantasy talk in the league you guys play in.

    Stay cool, no political crap just sports. Love you degenerates! Mikie from Las Vegas
  • Unnnnhapppy
    READ THIS SAL
    The only thing that bugs me about the pod— besides the mediocre prognostication— is that Sal always steals the fellas’ thunder. Sal, you always announce their picks before they get to speak. Just call on each of the guys and let THEM announce their pick and why they like it. It’ll streamline the whole show.

    Why does the pod feed still list AAO on Ringer
    Great pod. Why does the old Ringer photo for the pod still show up when this on a separate feed? Will it update?
  • Jae Gaboo
    Kimmel’s favorite podcaster
    Screw Simmons and Carolla!!!
  • Akbarian
    Uhhhhh... guys??
    ...Are you aware live (non-soccer) American sports are starting back up TONIGHT?!? Let’s go — we need the Trifecta’s advice back in our lives so we know what to bet against! Get the pod off the back-burner and onto the grill!
  • Bryan in Franklin, WI
    Where the Podsat???
    VSIN smoking you guys! We 4 days away from real sports and they have 24 hour entertainment. This the greatest MLB season ever coming up and hardest nba title ever to win. Lets go! Gamble talk all day!
  • jeffmn
    Love it
    Though Sal is largely wasted being pigeonholed as the “gambling guy.” For my money he is the best personality in the Ringerverse and I’ve been listening since the very beginning of the ESPN days. He needs to have a more free form pod with more diverse topics and guests. His interview with Molly from Molly’s Game was a revelation. He’s just frigging hilarious and he is always the best in whatever room he’s in. Updated: 9/12/19 Should just be Cousin Sal Podcast and just have the trifecta on once a week. The rest devoted to other guests and topics. He is really being wasted. Updated 6/20 He still needs to untether himself from the trifecta. They would be fine as occasional guests but Sal is too talented to always be saddled with them.
  • hamsters review
    Might have to just take all ringer pods off my sub list
    Politics is all the ringer can muster these days...sad. I’m out. Think they are losing massive numbers of listeners and consumers. I’ll go watch actual serious political platforms if I wanted that, I clearly don’t listening to a gambling/sports podcast. Guess good bill got his Spotify money before he became a political activist and lost complete touch with half of america. Won’t be supporting anymore, total clown group.
  • Derek82
    Cousin Sal’s the best!
    Only critique is we need more Bill Simmons impersonations!!!
  • TheBinApt22322
    Can’t think of any reason
    I’d ever listen again after ringer hires j hill

    So much fun
    Hanging out with Cousin Sal and the Degenerate Trifecta once a week is so much fun.
  • Tom2266
    Cousin Sal is the man
    I love cousin sal and his sharp sense of humor. Keep up the good work.

    Great show this week as Iowa allows gambling. Big news across the country. Took the candidates off the front page for a day.
  • littlefatkids
    👍🏻
    Great stuff. These guys all get along and cover all the important gambling topics of the day
  • Gooseislandbrew
    Nobody can promise winners
    But these guys always make me laugh. They also come up with some creative bets and usually give some sound criteria for why it’s good bet. I’ve done well going with The Parley Kid.
  • OriginalCP3
    Painful
    I want to like these Podcasts. I’m a former college basketball player and coach, having played for 3 HOF coaches. I might have a different point of view compared to the target audience, meaning I understand the marketing of it. That being said, it feels like I’m listening to the writers from the school newspaper talk to the cheerleaders about the team.
  • chileax
    Relax on nba hate
    Sound like corny old white men when you hate the way you do you realize teams lose games in the nba .
  • The_Kenny_Lee
    Best Bets
    If I am going to lose money gambling, I losing it with Cousin Sal... This is actually only a four-star podcast, the fifth star is for Cousin Sal losing $30k on one bet.
  • PT-24/7

    Love the concept and the great intell on SportsInsights
  • Reggie McReggie
    Super Dave
    Thank you for re-running the Super Dave podcast. I was a big fan of his Showtime shows and still find the Super Dave skits hilarious. The comedy world lost a giant when he passed.
  • lovingbbwsisnotacrime
    more fabulous than moolah
    the trifecta carry this show. their uncanny ability to prognosticate and still be entertaining is unparalleled.
  • brandon7D
    Top Podcast
    Love the podcast, Sal is one of my favorite host. I look forward listening to the gang every week.
  • ArthurMc5
    Great pod
    Not a gambler and never been one but this podcast is great! Love the degenerate trifecta and Sal. Wouldn't miss an episode. Love both producers so hopefully Tate keeps missing every now and then, Jim is hilarious
  • Giodgravy
    Great pod
    Tremendous show, but most of their takes are gambling related.
  • DynTastic
    Love the show
    Great job by all the guys! Sal is hilarious
  • Bfinnh
    Cutting the edge!
    Thanks for being Forward thinking! I have said for years, it makes no sense that we can’t talk about the gambling thatEVERYONE IS DOING! Question for you? Sal would you take Patriots to win out in the regular season? Don’t know the odds but would guess 5-1?

    Cousin Sal is always Simmons best guest, glad he's got his own pod.
  • jsucker83
    My Bookie
    Your advertiser mybookie. Requires a 10x rollover. On all deposits with bonus. So if you take a $100 bonus on a $100 deposit they require you to wager $2000 before taking a payout. I’d like to see even Sal get his money back with that requirement. I’m so disappointed in myself for giving them my business.
  • Btbucks
    Great podcast
    I’m a big fan of the degenerate hall of fame
  • A10locks.com
    An hour of sunshine
    Harry deserves his own tv show.
  • dcapofari
    Its about darn time!!!
    Finally, a sports betting podcast I can listen to without wearing any pants!
  • GrantholomewH
    some are fine
    Sal is great, the trifecta is obnoxious and Tate is an idiot.
  • dont like to be ignored
    Against all expectations
    Generally enjoy this podcast, particularly Sal's degenerate friends and their picks. The pod has this annoying habit of having the stupidest guests who have nothing to say worth hearing. Len Dykstra was one. He is so whacked out he can't speak in complete sentences. Today i listened to two guys from WWE whom I've never heard of insulting each other endlessly and Sal thought it was highly entertaining. You couldn't be more wrong Sal. Many more guests like these two Bozos and I'll be an ex listener.
  • GatorJetsMets33
    cousin sal is terrible at gambling
    Terrible betting advice. But, Super Dave podcast was the funniest podcast I’ve ever heard in my life. 4 stars.
  • Seeing the Elephants
    Mannerisms
    Cousin Sal is helping me with my dry humour. I don’t sports bet, but I love the chemistry between these guys.
