On the first episode of LOW ROLLERS of 2026, @realjamiegold.bsky.social joins me to reflect on his 2006 victory at the WSOP (can you believe it's been 20 years?), plus we talk charity poker, sports betting & more. Also, my thoughts on the sweepstakes conversation in Indiana: rss.com/podcasts/low...

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

THE RASKIES ARE BACK! (Sorry for yelling.) Your annual collection of boxing awards nearly as ridiculous as this sport we love: www.boxingscene.com/articles/the...

Trump just vetoed a bill that would fund the completion of a project to bring clean drinking water to rural Colorado. The bill was passed unanimously by the House and the Senate. He did so in retaliation for the state refusing to release Tina Peters, who illegally tampered with voting machines.

New LOW ROLLERS (last ep of 2025) & I'm joined by OG low roller Jeff Edelstein to do that stale, cliched thing where we look back at '25/ahead to '26...but not in stale, cliched fashion. We're talking prediction markets, fantasy, a rant about the FanDuel Reward Machine, more: rss.com/podcasts/low...

It was online poker’s darkest day. But for some poker pros, it ultimately proved illuminating. Black Friday led to a diaspora, shuffling brilliant poker minds into other careers. I spoke to Jeff Williams, Taylor Caby, and Jonathan Levy and share their stories: www.casinoreports.com/former-poker...

Bari Weiss should be fired immediately. Until then, CBS News must be boycotted. It is an arm of the state. A dishonest broker of the news. Communists and CBS do it this way. Run this woman out of town, CBS. She is destroying you from the inside.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Joshua vs. Paul has me asking the question: What if prior legends of the ring had stumbled into living through idiocracies of their own similar to what’s become of the world in 2025? Champs vs celebs — the faux historical read you didn't know you needed: www.boxingscene.com/articles/hea...

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

You might say it's vital that you listen to the new episode of LOW ROLLERS, as Vital Vegas' Scott Roeben joins me to gives his takes on the Vegas economy, value plays, hidden gems, the Vegas A's pipe dream, the F1 blight, and even some not-too-spoilery Pluribus talk.

fuck this fucking fuck

The criminal liar gasbag traitor in chief better keep this bullshit short. I’m tryna watch Survivor here.

This week on LOW ROLLERS, I am joined by Queens Borough President Donovan Richards for a conversation about the coming casinos changing the image of Queens and elevating the local economy, his surprise at the Yonkers bid getting yanked, and some gentle trash talk directed at Jay-Z.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

This week on LOW ROLLERS, Brandt Iden joins the pod to discuss all things iGaming legalization — the arguments in favor, the headwinds the industry is facing, which state(s) will be next, and more. Plus, I find out his Lions fan panic level and get a prediction for Lions-Cowboys tonight.

25 years ago today, Felix Trinidad vs. Fernando Vargas. One of the best fights I've ever had the privilege to sit ringside for. I have recollections and reflections. (So many of them that I wrote about double the number of words I intended to.) www.boxingscene.com/articles/the...

It’s just a crime against humanity. There’s no war. Hegseth is just out here ordering the killing of civilians.

Thanksgiving + gambling = Thanksgambling, and @brettsmiley.bsky.social joins LOW ROLLERS this week for a conversation about the people and things in the gambling world for which we are thankful. Plus Smiley takes totally unwarranted shots at my Eagles, something for which I am not thankful.

This week on LOW ROLLERS, Mitch Malherbe, a man who recently visited his 500th (!) casino, joins me to talk about his favorites, his least favorites, his greatest blackjack run, his worst blackjack tilt, his very understanding and supportive wife, and more: rss.com/podcasts/low...

I liked it better when the people running my country were just standard replacement-level shady power-hungry pricks, not literally the worst people alive.

Excellent read here by @owensports.bsky.social, highly recommended.

Trump siding with Saudi murderers over journalists and innocents is ... ... well, frankly, something we all saw coming. Least surprising development ever, evil POS president sides with other evil-doers and is incapable of trying, even a little bit, to downplay what an evil POS he is.

On paper, Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul represents the final chapter of boxing’s most unserious era, its conclusion allowing us to wipe clean the hard drive and return to the factory settings. My thoughts on why this fight may be exactly what boxing needs: www.boxingscene.com/articles/ant...

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

"Nobody Wants This" — a popular Netflix rom-com? A promotional tag line for Mayweather-Pacquiao II? Or a way to describe my latest BoxingScene column? I had a lot of fun with this one ... www.boxingscene.com/articles/str...

This week on LOW ROLLERS, Las Vegas Advisor Publisher Anthony Curtis joins me for a convo covering the Vegas economy, tales of price gouging, how to do Vegas affordably, the Blackjack Ball, what he might have done with his life if he'd never discovered card counting, and more.

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

On boxing, biopics, inspiration, physical transformation, and more — a conversation with boxing pioneer Christy Martin and the actress bringing her to life on screen, Sydney Sweeney: www.boxingscene.com/articles/pla...

It's a LOW ROLLERS reunion! Jeff Edelstein joins me on the pod this week for a conversation covering the sketchy side of Vegas, the non-sketchy Blackjack Ball, NBA scandals, Showdown slate victories, online slots we do and don't love, and why he is currently living his dream.

If you hated Dick Cheney and everything he stood for, you have to vote against all MAGA Republicans today. If you loved Dick Cheney and everything he stood for, you have to vote against all MAGA Republicans today.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

This week on LOW ROLLERS, PokerGO's Donnie Peters joins me to provide insight into the poker industry's reaction to the Chauncey Billups rigged-private-poker-games scandal — plus Donnie shares reflections from his deep WSOP run and reveals an NFL futures bet he regrets making.

They have removed anyone who wasn’t fascist enough for the job.

Because America somehow went brain-dead enough to elect the wrong guy. #SavedYouAClick

Anything going on today in the gambling world? No? Nothing? Well, then, here's a podcast to listen to while you're bored. Unabated's Captain Jack Andrews joins me on a new ep of LOW ROLLERS, looking back a nice, round 19 years later on the short-term, long-term, and unintended impacts of UIGEA.

That we know of.

Wow, he's got every single one of these covered

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

When I asked Jimmy Lange how he felt about "The Contender" as a TV show, he started with an analogy about "Stairway to Heaven." Really enjoyed catching up with Jimmy for my Contender 20th anny series, talking Sly, Dan Quinn, "unrealistic reality," and more: www.boxingscene.com/articles/jim...

“Tearing down monuments erases history!”

A hypothetical I never would have considered was “Imagine if the American with the very worst record of managing construction projects were singularly responsible for the building most symbolic of democracy and decided to do his thing with both it and what it symbolizes”

I made signs expressing points of disagreement with the government

Wouldn’t have expected to find myself typing these words, but: I am enjoying the shit out of Chad Powers.

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This week on LOW ROLLERS ... OpenSlots is building a product that will allow people to design their own casino games using AI, and I talk to the founders, Tom Smallwood and Daniela Lanzolla, about their backgrounds, their objectives, the threats of AI, and their G2E experiences.

Philly fans needed a W, *any* W, last weekend. And boy did Boots Ennis give ’em one. On Boots, Danny Garcia, legacy, stepping up, stepping down, and more: www.boxingscene.com/articles/wit...
