The Pregame.com Show becoming a reality for football picks season!

by Matty O'Shea on 07/23/2008 11:23 AM

I am very excited to announce that the Pregame Content team will be launching a new podcast in late August to discuss both NFL picks and college football picks before each week's games kick off.  The addition of Tommy Rider to our staff gives us another great personality to showcase here at Pregame for your benefit, enabling you the opportunity to use his insider NFL knowledge to your advantage. 

Here is the current lineup of roundtable contributors who have committed to the show...

Vegas-Runner
has become a Vegas folklore phenomenon. You would hear stories of people who would move large sums of money in Vegas for people back East know as syndicates and Vegas-Runner is living proof to the urban legend. Vegas-Runner offers his "Inside the Steam" knowledge on the major games of the Weekend.

Marco D'Angelo will provide his handicapping insights into the world of football handicapping. Bringing 28 years experience to the table, Marco will offer his expert line-reading analysis to the show and break down what Vegas is trying to accomplish with the number they have set on the game.

Tommy Rider is Pregame's newest member who brings with him true NFL Insider information as Tommy worked for the New England Patriots before joining Pregame. Tommy's previous job has opened doors to inside NFL information not available to the general public. Tommy's NFL connections will let him reach out for key information that only other NFL insiders have access to.

Matty O'Shea is the numbers guru. As the GM of Content and chief contributor to the Pregame Cheat Sheet, Matty knows his numbers. Anyone can break down stats, but knowing which stats are pertinent and which ones are fluff separates the squares from the insiders.

We will also have other special guests contribute throughout the year remotely, including other Pregame Pros who are not with us here in person to help us produce the show.  Keep in mind we are doing this for YOU to offer yet another means to get to know us and learn more about sports betting directly from the gambling capital of the world in Las Vegas.  Please let us know what topics you would like us to discuss, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs and give you the best football picks show anywhere!

Matty, I'm glad you finally said something because I was about to burst holding it in since Pregame began putting this project together...I am so excited and can't wait to get a chance to actually speak, as opposed to write about so many topics...Like I said, when we met up and you asked if I would commit...If the opportunity was there back in the day for me to get a chance to hear what guys like us were willing to share, I would have saved myself so much damn money which this education has cost me, especially early on...Besided the entertainment value...lol...the educational value can be incredible as the members get involved and offer us their feedback...I can't wait and after getting the chance to meet with and go out and eat with Tommy Rider...I couldn't agree more that his addition will be a welcome sight and that is one guy who I am really looking forward to seeing out here on a regular basis, so I can pick his mind even more...He is extremely informed when it comes to certain aspects of the NFL especially, which very few cappers have any clue about and I'm not sure a lot of members know that about Tommy...definately someone I plan on having something to eat with a lot more when he gets here for good...The members are in for a treat for sure, VR

Sounds like an exciting project, good luck with it guys. I'm confident you produce a first class broadcast.

Glad to see so much positive feedback already.  If you guys like VR's forum posts and picks, you will LOVE listening to him talk about sports betting.  There is no single personality who brings so much color and excitement to gambling talk like him.  We are truly blessed to have Ace with us here at Pregame.

Oh I can't wait...bring on football season!

I can't wait either - by the way, this show will likely be on Thursdays but we'll definitely keep you posted.

Awesome announcement!!  My pants are getting tight with anticipation...no wait, that's a boner.  Either way, I'm excited.

Thanks VR. I can't wait to get you on the air and have you let fly with all of your info and gambling stories. Once we unleash you to the world, there will be no stopping us. lol If this show is done properly, I guarantee there won't be anything like it on the Internet. It will be must listen for all people interested in gambling every single week. This has a chance to be the biggest, most successful venture Pregame has ever done. I'm really excited about it and looking forward to delivering this content to people.

Yes indeed Guys we are truly excited to bring this to all Pregame followers. Back in January just a few weeks after moving from Pittsburgh I went to Lunch  with Matty and VR and we just talked about Sports Betting, Handicapping and all kinds of Funny Gambling stories that we experienced thru the Years. When I got back from that lunch I walked right into RJ's office and said to him " I just witnessed a Pregame Podcast". It's time to bring this puppy to life. The Key is not only will you learn,and make money from this show you will laugh your ass off..You can bet on it!

Matty - this is a fantastic Idea...and the next logical, INEVITABLE step for Pregame.

In fact, this could be the next really big step toward Pregame moving onward and upward into becoming an even BIGGER Force on the Netscape -

And TOMMY, YOU ABSOLUTELY CRYSTALLIZED MY FIRST THOUGHT HERE ~ HONESTLY, THIS IS THE EXACT THING THAT WILL INSTANTLY and clearly SEPARATE PREGAME ABOVE & BEYOND ALL THE SAME-OLD 'NOISE' OUT THERE....

PREGAME DOING WHAT IT DOES - DEEP ANALYSIS AND INSIGHT INTO FOOTBALL POINT-SPREADS & LINES, & ABOVE ALL, VALUE-BASED DIALOG - USEFUL COHESIVE ITEMS OF VALUABLE INFO & WAGERING DISCUSSIONS IN AN OPEN FORMAT .... PROVIDED BY THE MOST TALENTED, KNOWLEDGEABLE INDIVIDUALS YOU'D EVER BE ABLE TO GATHER.

I FOR ONE AM GROWING WEARY OF ALL THE PRE-CANNED, 'CALL 800-ALL-FREE', FOR MY PLAY OF THE MILLENNIUM FROM A 99-0 SYSTEM....   BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..."

I know those cats work damn hard and need to earn a living - and there still has to be a way to make it worth their while.

But I FOR ONE, believe PREGAME is a cut FAR above that sort of TIRED, PLAYED-OUT approach.

Man - I just cannot wait.

Very well said Steve,

I keep checking back on this thread....because it is going to be GREAT info......I know i told ACE a long time ago I would come to Vegas and cook up some Texas BBQ like he has never tasted (and won't believe), but I think that all the Pregame staff (and families) should be invited when it happens......a buddy and I have cooked for 100+ at several Houston Texans tailgating events......so let's get it on!!

Sounds great buddy and stay tuned Thursday!

TXGOLFER...damn brother that sounds like a plan and it would be awesome to do...I am willing to put it on at my home and we that way we can use the pool and I've got an outside bar set up in my yard with 2 TV's so we can catch the games as well...I really think that we should try to put something like that on and as long as you don't mind taking care of the cooking..I'll get you the supplies needed and also make sure we are stocked with plenty of drinks...May even have my wife call over a few hot friends for the lucky single men...VR

VR Ketel One and lemonade is a great pool side drink just ask Matty O'Shea I have him hooked!

 

posted by vegas-runner on 08/28/2008 9:05 AM

Damn, you almost made me want to make one...But unfortunately, VR don't drink...so I'll play bartender for you Men...Best of Luck this year Marco & Matty...I have a feeling you will be both doing some Damage in Football, VR

VR, I'm not single but I'll take a piece of that "wife's hot friends" action if you don't mind.
