Summary

Now that the dust has settled in Cleveland, Chad Millman and Simon Hunter are joined by Matthew Freedman to discuss the gambling impact of the NFL Draft. Freedman made almost 300 individual bets on the Draft and finished very strong, and Simon rode some inside information to a payday of his own. And to kick things off, Chad discusses the recent – and very exciting – sale of The Action Network to Better Collective, and how it will influence the company moving forward. Plus, we talk Justin Fields, Aaron Rodgers, and so much more. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
