The Football Betting Podcast: The Experts
The short lifespan of The Football Betting Podcast has already been crammed full of activity. We’ve navigated the business end of the 2023/24 domestic campaign, where Sam Ingram took it upon himself to stubbornly bet on a Manchester City title win whenever they popped up above Evens as Arsenal pushed them gallantly in the Premier League.
Jack Wright joined Sam and Daniel Jenkins for a 2024/25 Outright Preview show of the season ahead in the summer, recording listening figures that still stand as The Football Betting Podcast’s biggest-ever show in terms of reach to the masses. The episode was streamed 325% more than the average episode.
Our very own Welshman in the hosting chair, Daniel, boasts just the one missed episode of The Football Betting Podcast, galavanting elsewhere away from recording. Sam matches Dan’s solitary missed show, with the two ever-present amongst a whole host of guests. Daniele Fisichella and Scott Thornton, also bettingexpert’s very own, continue to bless the podcast with their wealth of betting knowledge.
Elsewhere, Nathan Joyes has been on hand to cover all things South America, joining the show for the Copa America in the summer of 2024, the World Cup qualifiers that followed, and all things from the Brasileirao to Argentina’s top-flight domestically. Not only that, but The Football Betting Podcast rolled out Champions League x Copa Libertadores back-to-back specials throughout the 2024/25 season after the success of the Copa America x Euro 2024 episodes in the summer. Here, Nathan and Sam took turns to provide selections from their specialised competitions.
Steve Wyss and Mark Stinchcombe have also muscled in on the airwaves, departing their wisdom for one episode each, although pencilled in for many more in the future.
