    Meh
    Femi is ok. I can’t do Kostos any more. Ken kept Nick in check. I can’t take the schtick any more. The faux outrage and fake excitement is just too much. It belongs on New York talk radio. Some interesting guests appear from time to time. The show isn’t for me anymore.

    Missing Ken
    While Femi is good and Nick is entertaining …. The show was special with Ken joining Nick … it is ok now, but not a must listen to.. I do have to say Femi island is hillarious !!
  • Danny Dimes
    Nick is just awful
    This show was immensely better when Nick was out on leave. Losing Locky made this show just terrible now. You could tell Nick was picked on as a kid, his fake bravado is trying to compensate for something. “I go To Vegas on work trips and I don’t go out” lololol what an absolute slob Nick is.

    Terrible show with Ken who had all the betting knowledge. Just a clown show now.
  • The Jewish Pistol
    Still Great
    This show was great with Ken and is still great with Femi. And I was very sad to see Ken go, but I am relieved. Best show on radio! Nick, keep up the good work! #ladders

    Missing some juice
    Really would’ve been dope to have Sammy P as the Ken replacement. Feel like he brings a sharper analysis and would’ve meshed better with Nick. Can tell Femi is a good dude though so I hope he gets more comfortable and things take off. Just ain’t there right now.
  • More loading? Awesome!
    RIP YBYB
    I used to listen to all 4 hours daily during football season but the show just isn’t the same without Ken. The format is very bizarre. It’s just Femi for the entire first hour, then Nick joins the show and Femi doesn’t get to talk during Nick’s first segment? Isn’t Femi a co-host? I gave the new format a month but can’t listen anymore. Also please retire “Kostos and the Gamblers” for your own sake.

    So many commercials!!!
    It’s really good content but the dozens of commercials that some how are 25% louder than the show is not enjoyable.
  • alivenaz
    Ken is missed
    I think it took Ken leaving the show for me to realize that he — and occasionally the banter between Ken and Nick — is the reason I listened. I get that this was Nick’s creation but it worked because of the chemistry with Ken. I was a daily listener but not anymore.

    Beg Ken to Reconsider
    Kostos & the Clambers. Very disjointed now & lacking cohesion. Been listening for 4 years & it’s a shame that this is the direction the powers that be have decided upon. Thanks for the ride but I think I’ll be changing it up for the foreseeable future
  • joe97404
    Transition unkind…lots of kinks to workout
    Replacing Ken Barkley has been a very rough transition. This is NOT an indictment of Feme. I think he’ll be really good, maybe even great, once he gets more comfortable. It’s clear to me he’s not yet found his groove. He’s very talented, very smart. Nick’s rant segment to open the 4pm hour needs to go away. Or it needs to be at the top of the show at 3pm. It ruins the flow of the 3pm hour with Feme & Friends. I hope the show gets better because it’s been a rough listen so far. And it’s not like there is a lack of betting content to discuss.

    This just isn’t the same. Kostos could of taken the Morning Cashout to another level!!!
  • Joe Reiber
    One of a kind
    Very unique combination of guests and topics that other shows in this category do well but not as well as YBYB. Progressive betting talk with a thorough understanding of betting market analysis.

    All my dreamers put your hands in the sky
    Mind of a stoner, thoughts of a loner. Daily edible and listen to Ken and Nick. Banger after banger. Thanks guys

    Kostos’ voice can shatter glass
    I can’t tell if the Nick Kostos, the self proclaimed King of Props, has any good insights because I can’t take his whiney voice for more than 6.7 seconds. His wife must be a saint. Barkley is better but he often talks for five minutes and by the time he’s done you don’t know what he’s said. A hard pass.
  • @WarFSU29
    Content Creation
    I will start by saying there isn’t a show around that provides as much betting “content” as this show. With that said, don’t expect to be making money off their bets, because there are sooooo many of them. Every couple of days Ken will have some long shot betting angle to suggest, and just act like he’s right when projecting the future. Nick is completely different from a few years ago. It’s almost like he’s afraid of being wrong. “I hold the right to change my mind” is often a phrase he used during a show. He’ll “spray the board” in hopes to hit something to keep people thinking he’s a winning gambler. Together, these two are VERY arrogant and condescending. They criticize those who post on social media their wins, yet do the same thing on their show. I may lose my mind the next time I hear the phrase, “this is just my opinion, but I think I’m right.” Get over yourselves….

    Fallen off a cliff
    What a shame! These clowns will never be the same from the start of the show a few years ago. Level of arrogance and just basically ignoring their crappy betting days has just become disgusting!

    Great show and great guests!
    My new go-to podcast. Keeps me company throughout the day. It's better than ᵗʷᵒ-ᵃⁿᵈ-ᵃ-ʰᵃLᶠ cold beers on a humid day.
  • brab8878
    Locky unbearable now
    God bless Nick for putting up with Locky arrogance and condescension. Unbearable to listen to anymore. Whenever he’s right it’s always about how wrong and stupid everyone else is. And he’ll let you know every time he got a better number than what’s available. You’re an amateur that can beat the softest market in the world. Get over yourself dude.

    Makes you smarter…
    Ken and Nick, not only bring you the BEST gambling content, but along with their guests help you to see the game(s) in a brand new, really cool perspective. They are a must listen live or on podcast. The Mario and Luigi, the Batman and Robin of gambling content.

    Come for the Legend Tyler Morales… Stay for the handicapping acumen of one Locky Lockerson… Leave when Kostos inevitably runs a bit into the ground… 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Awesome duo
    Locky and Nick are very entertaining and provide great insight into the markets.
  • Cadillac Rainbows
    Hosts
    I’m a regular listener, but when Ken or Kostos is out for the day and they have a fill in, especially the last couple months it’s unlistenable and I have to turn it. They seem to shy away from the good fill in’s they had and just throw another Nick in there thinking it’s cool. Ken and Kostos are great, but with Cashew as a fill in I just can’t do it and turn it off. Also, use show the for entertainment not betting or fade their picks and you should be good.
  • Average Joe Gambler
    Great Show for Entertainment
    Nick is a funny guy. They pretend to know what they’re talking about. I’ve listened for 2 years and I’m down thousands of dollars…took a long time but I’ve learned to just fade every pick. I’m up 30 units since January of 2023. Good dudes. Funny guys. Fade them and you’ll make a few bucks.
  • NikolasHolt
    Great Show!
    Love the show! Listen to it everyday! I have learned a ton!
  • 5500ruzickp
    You’ll listen for years
    I am a multi year listener because they somehow fit context, angles, and shooting the sh— into easily listenable segments. Whether I am listening live or the podcast, these guys provide great tips and insights along with their “wagertainment” brand. These two seem to embody the different types of gamblers people can be: the numbers guy, the history/ context guy, the “it’s just for fun” guy, the serious guy, humbly on a heater guy, and can’t catch a break guy. Enjoy!

    Best Podcast Ever!!! (Including every podcast non-gambling related)
    This show with Ken Barkley aka Lockey Lockerson(Greatest Name in history) and Nick Kostos is a must-listen. They are entertaining and insightful in any topic they so happen to bring up. They make you feel as if you’re best friends with them and have a part in the listening experience. 5 out of 5 show! Thank you all for making this show a part of my daily routine!
  • Darthkatchoo
    Helpful and fun
    About the only thing to improve on this show would be if every week took place during a live game and we could hear Nick’s second by second live reactions to his bets.

    Best betting show in the space for entertainment and winners
  • mkgren
    Just look who the Sponsor is
    If you want to lose your money listen to this podcast or any podcast that is sponsored by a Sportsbook. Wake up any app or podcast that is sponsored by a Sportsbook has one goal in mind - that is for you to lose your money - good luck! It took the 1st 2 weeks of the NFL Season this year for me to realize it - these clowns lost almost every game and prop bet that they analyzed/ suggested

Every week they give you the edges and insights into every sport that no other show will give you! Prop King and Santa Locky might be the 2 greatest beings to ever walk this Earth! Don’t believe me? Give them a listen for a week and let your bank roll do all the talking!
  • firevincelombardi
    Best gambling load cast? You bet!
    Nick and Locky host simply the best gambling podcast out there. It’s a great mix of gambling advice, entertainment and bets you can tail (and usually make money). After listening to the show for the last two years, I’m a better gambler making smarter bets every week. Great guests bring new perspectives to the show, and the hosts are always transparent about how new information or perspectives do (or don’t) change their views on potential bets and why. A must listen.
  • gargolfer
