This week, we're getting ready for our biggest Vegas trip yet... but first, we head deep into the woods to play craps in Pat the Plow's legendary garage casino. We break down our home craps tournament, what we learned after taking turns dealing a real table, and why being a craps dealer is much harder than it looks. Then it's all about Las Vegas. We're revealing our complete Bet Bash itinerary, our slot tournament plans at The D, our strategy for chasing casino comps, and the completely reasonable idea of gambling big enough to earn free steak dinners every night. Will it work? Probably not. Are we going to try anyway? Absolutely.

It’s officially Season 4 of Gambling With Good JuJu… and we just crossed the 100-episode mark. In this milestone episode, Juice and Breezy take a moment to celebrate the journey—no prep, no scripts, just raw reflection. Favorite moments from the first three seasons. Biggest “aha” realizations from 100+ episodes of gambling talk. The worst moments. And what they still need to learn before the next 100. Then it’s straight into what we do best: gambling stories. 🎰 Casino Therapy & Absolute Degeneracy We open with a legit therapy session. Jolly purchased an Advantage Play slot “cheat sheet” from Desolator Gaming… and we’re not sure what to think. Is this a real edge? Are there new AP slots we should be playing? Or are we overcomplicating it? From there, the stories get better:
🏀 Sports Betting Reality Check We launched the College Basketball Answer Key. We are not calling it the “Mucho Dinero Answer Key.” Why? Because it hasn’t worked. We break down why:
We’ve shut it down (for now) and are rebuilding from the ground up—adding metrics, tightening filters, and reworking the model before relaunching prior to season’s end. A celebration episode filled with gambling chaos, reflection, degeneracy, model-building humility, and the exact kind of stories that got us to 100 in the first place.

| 500+ Bets Later: What We Got Wrong About Edges, EV, and ROI with Elihu D. Fuestel | 03 Feb 2026 | 01:05:53 | |
Elihu D. Feustel returns to Gambling With Good JuJu as a 3-time guest, and this one gets deep. After wrapping our first full College Football season using Elihu’s Beyond The Odds framework, we sit down with the source of truth to break down what actually happened vs. what the model said should happen. Over 500+ wagers, we landed at a 2.35% ROI — solid, profitable, but well below the 7–8% edge the data projected. So… where’s the disconnect? We dive into ROI vs. model EV, sample size requirements, parent line movement, and whether large discrepancies should trigger model skepticism or process refinement. We also break down the market that surprised us most — 1Q Team Totals — where double-digit model EV translated into sub-4% real-world returns (and a DraftKings account casualty). Elihu walks us through:
We also recap sportsbook-by-sportsbook results, kiosk betting experiments, account longevity realities, and the mindset shift from “juicing the model” to simply executing better. This episode is a reality check, a confidence boost, and a roadmap forward for anyone trying to turn theory into execution. 📘 Beyond The Odds & Conquering Risk by Elihu D.

Friend of the show and elite college sports handicapper Mike Montesano is back, and we’re covering everything from the College Football Playoff to college hoops—and how bettors can actually stay ahead of the market. We start with a long-overdue confession: We were dead wrong about Indiana, and Mike explains how his power rankings sniffed out the Hoosiers long before the rest of the market caught up. From there, we break down whether Indiana is a true title contender or an overvalued #1, how Mike’s CFB season went from a betting perspective, and what CFP futures positions he’s holding right now. We also dig deep into betting process:
Then we shift to the Mucho Dinero Answer Key, discussing line movement leakage, parent lines vs. derivatives, and whether directional clues from power rankings can help bettors avoid getting steamrolled by the market. Finally, we hit college basketball:

| Taxation Frustration and Winter Casino Dreams | 03 Jul 2025 | 00:46:46 | |
Welcome back to Gambling with Good JuJu, the podcast that boosts your gambling knowledge—not your gambling taxes. (Seriously… they’re out of control.) This week, Juice and Breezy dive into the disturbing trend of states treating sports betting like a cash-grab raffle. From Maryland to Illinois, lawmakers are ramping up tax rates, slapping on per-bet fees, and leaving recreational bettors with worse odds, fewer promos, and higher stakes. We break it all down—and ask: who’s looking out for the players? Spoiler: it’s not your state rep. Also in this episode: Plus: a retro Good JuJu ad spot, the return of Parlay Pete (maybe), and Juice gets fired up about political overreach in the betting space.

What happens when two gamblers force each other into impossible choices? In this episode of Gambling With Good JuJu, Ryan and Peter put each other through five brutal gambling-themed rounds of Would You Rather. The questions start simple—oxtail soup at the California or hot dogs at The D—but quickly spiral into debates about sports betting, Vegas trips, casino loyalty, craps strategy, Bears fandom, and even marriage-threatening hypotheticals. Along the way, the guys discuss feedback from their Gambling Movies Rankings episode, provide an update on the upcoming Gambling Under the Influence: The Evolution of the Hook documentary project, and reveal what they're willing to sacrifice for gambling.
