These must not have had enough advertisers. They are selling chairs, toothbrushes, and hair care products?

Expand and improve our programming - how?

Just get the Sirius XM satellite feed for $7 a month and get 200+ channels. You won't get the video, but big deal, they loop 2 week old quips from past guests for 15 minutes every hour.

Maybe during baseball season, see what he brings to table for football.

I like Sharp on Gill's show for NFL stuff and Kenny White / Erin Rynning / Matt Youmans . Nick B is always good listen, he had a great line last wk, said something to the effect that if you bet baseball everyday you are sick and hate yourself.


Maybe they can start charging the touts to go on the show to bring in some revenue.

they gave it out for free on purpose to bring in a crowd to watch it .This was their intention all along. The guests probably want to get paid. There are people on salary. I can't blame them. It is only a few dollars a month. Just add it next to don best, pro football focus, ESPN+, Espn insider, MLB , NBA, NFL, NBA packages. Microsoft 365., phil steele college & pro , blue ribbon BB. Did I leave any out ?

I remember betting against him as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

If memory serves, he had among the slowest fastballs in baseball.

My bigger concern is most local papers will be charging for digital content very soon.....VSIN doesn't give anything most daily bettors don't already know.

It's difficult to find winning gamblers who are willing to share their work.

Why share your ideas if it may cost you a porion of your ROI?

Because they' re not good enough, rather take money from fools as a sure thing to the losses.

Agree.

Most sports handicapping analysts are not winning gamblers.

I wish they had a website that had openers and closers , finals for all sports along with in depth lines . Just like CSW had years ago but every sport.

How about them paying us to Listen to their Show?

If you ever pay attention to the number of viewers watching live on YouTube, it rarely exceeded 25 and most often was a single digit.

I guess the ad that says 'ad spots for football season are filling up' might be an exaggeration. Sorry to see the content so difficult to monetize.

As for the ads, they are currently running, they are all affiliate style ads. They only get paid when you purchase the product and use their code. X Chair, For Hims, Zip Recruiter, Quip etc.

I have heard in the past that they had decent numbers for the newsletter (last football season), but how many salaries can that be paying.

Hope they make it for all involved, but this is an act of desperation.

The content on VSIN is pretty good but what's unbearable is the number of breaks. It's usually 5 minutes of content, 3 minutes of break. It's brutal if you are in your car and the breaks keep coming up. And many of the breaks aren't even commercials for other products "meet the makers of the line". They act like Andrews and Vaccaro and Vinnie are some kind of stars. Brent is, but the others aren't. I already have XM for the car but I don't listen to VSIN when I'm at work and certainly would not pay to.

Thanks for the review, Valuist.

When's the last time Vinnie Magliulo made an original line and accepted a wager?

Looking at Jimmy Vaccaro's tweet today sounds like he's leaving South Point & VSIN. To quote: "I'll be a free agent end of month".

They used to have the Follow the Money show on itunes

They quit putting the shows on itunes in Febuary

Haven't listened since then

Predictable.

When Bert Osborne left South Point a couple of years ago, relationships inside the sports book staff were strained.

A lot of sportsbooks opening up where he could be a figurehead. Maybe time to move back east. He did run a book in the Bahamas once.
