Game, Bet, Match (GBM) Podcast

Welcome to the GBM Podcast hosted by Manny Fridman and Brad Sloand! We are passionate tennis fans, but we also both have full time jobs and are doing this for our love of the game. As sports gambling has gained in popularity, we have enjoyed handicapping ATP matches. As a result, we will talk about the multitude of betting options on ATP matches and/or tournaments including ML, game/set spread, over/unders, prop bets, etc. Influenced by the Ringer, we do long form pods combining tennis talk with gambling talk. Thanks for listening! Follow us on X at @gamebetmatch123.
