Gambling was part of the fabric of growing up in Morris Cove. Settling in San Diego offered both Del Mar racing and Tijuana sports betting as entertainment options. Every weekend of football season included trips to Mexico with the crew.

Ten years ago, when we started on ESPN 1700, our callers were handicappers from all over the world. Some of them did it for a living and are particularly good at what they do! They’re a thorough source of information and are always generous in sharing that knowledge. Sometimes, it’s not what you know but who you know!

Visiting various podcasts and radio sports talk shows every week allows me to chat ATS about every league. On any given day, I’ll have a rather clear idea what the Vegas board looks like. That usually includes a few opinions as well.
