Play Me or Fade Me Sports Betting Picks Podcast

This show delivers daily sports betting picks, insights, and tips in under 14 minutes most days.Podcast launched in August 2021, here's a list of some accomplishments:2021 NFL Football - 57.7% against the spread winners, 62.8%-win rate on player prop bets2022 MLB Baseball - 57.2%-win rate on team totals2022 NFL Football - 60.2% against the spread winners 2023 NCAA Basketball Conference Tournaments - 58.1%-win rate on 1H unders 2023 NFL Football - 57.3%-win rate on player prop bets2024 NCAA College Basketball - 54%, up 22.18 units (up 58 units total w/blog plays)2024 NBA Prop Bets - 57.2%, up 33.93 units2024 NFL Football - 61.6% on prop bets, up 19.3381 units2025 NCAA College Basketball - 55.2%, up 38.4934 unitsLongest Winning Streak - 13 days in February 2024, 61-23, 72.6%, up 30.7103 units (all 1-unit bets)Podcast motto: Manage that bankroll, don't chase money, have fun, and let's cash some tickets together. Manage that bankroll: Flat betting, percentage model, confidence model, and Kelly criterion model are all good options to be a long-term sports bettor. I flat bet risking 1 unit vs. winning 1 unit. Don't chase money: Think risk management vs. emotional wagering. I've hit 60% plus percent over 60 days only to bust out on a bad weekend by losing all discipline. I go hot/cold on a dime and need to weather the storms. Have fun: For me, sports betting is a hobby, so I need to keep it fun. I bet significantly less per game now than I did 20 years ago and I'm still having just as much fun doing it. Overall: I'm not good enough tail, not bad enough to fade. Some days I win, some days I lose. I've made and still make plenty of mistakes, I'm still learning but I love sports betting. I mispronounce names, cities, and teams. Caution: For entertainment purposes only. Gambling related content is not intended for anyone under the age of 21. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER. Sports gambling isn't easy, I like gambling stocks long-term for that reason.

Best Format, Best Show

Do you want a quick listen with dozens of ideas to play each day? Most betting podcasts are way too long! Who has 30 minutes? 60 minutes? A day? Some are even 90 minutes, and the host drones on and on. Mr. Action Junkie is quick to the point and has a great delivery and he WINS a lot. For free? Yes, please. I highly recommend this podcast. I’ve listened to most, now listen to the best.

I listen to this show almost every morning. I live in Denver, but grew up in the midwest. Love my fellow Midwest sports junkies. Need to get the discord rolling but just enjoy the sports betting talk to start my day. Keep on keeping on Action Junkie and Kota Capra Kyle!

Real Human

I’ve followed the podcast for most of the college basketball season. Been tailing most of the picks and man of man has my bank roll been skyrocketing! Will always listen to this pod and I cannot wait for this upcoming MLB season!

Keep it going

Listening from Dallas,Tx. Guys are great.
Freshie246

Im a real breathing human! And listen to this pod everyday!

When it comes to free podcast content and picks, Mr. Action junkie might be the best out there. He puts in serious work to come up with well thought out picks, and he wins WAY more than he loses. If ur here for the “fade” element of the pod, you must love to lose money. Keep up the great work!

I’m a real human

I am definitely a real person and I definitely listen to the show. Which is a great show I look forward coming home after work and listen to the show. I work 3pm to 11pm. That’s when I keep an eye on my notifications and as soon as I get the alert I’ll click on it to listen his picks and go from there. I really enjoy the show keep up the great work. One final note. Let’s cash some tickets

Action says he’s an average sports bettor but he’s better than that. Has fun and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Listen everyday.

One of the most underrated cappers

Mr. Actions isn’t flashy but he’s consistent. I’ve learned so much in such a short period of time and I’m sure there is a lot more to learn.
