Stop talking so much

Need the Trifecta to stop with the boring breakdown of the games they pick. Same crap I hear from the sunday countdown type shows. They just say stats and pointless stuff for 2 minutes before making a pick. Please give an actual reason betting wise why you’re making the pick. Also are you guys actually putting real money on these bets or just 25-50$? Finally cousin sal needs to up his game if he’s gonna talk about gambling for a living. he’s very bad at it. All that said i still like the pod.
