Gambling with The Pope

Ste Turton has been in gambling for over twenty years. He's been discussing sports and betting over the phone with his mate Ben Pope for just as long. Gambling with The Pope turns those funny, intimate calls between two mates into a podcast. Each week they chat odds, angles and all aspects of the sporting world, with comical soundbites, new music and random pop culture topics thrown in for good measure. Sopranos shouts aplenty. Occasionally joined by special guests, the show offers alternative Premier League, boxing, golf and NFL coverage, as well as covering more obscure sports topics. Our betting advice is insightful but informal. Gambling with The Pope won't always make you money, but it will probably make you laugh.

    We're back by unpopular demand, catching up after over a year on the sidelines and paying tribute to one of Jersey's greatest illegal sportsbook chiefs, Paulie Walnuts. Our alternative Wimbledon review looks at whether Nick Kyrgios is a cult hero or gobshite. We discuss the Saudi backed LIV Tour's impact on future golf majors while throwing out some picks and analysis for The Open. Ahead of UFC London, we talk Paddy the Baddy's growing status and discuss his decision to take a packed lunch to Silverstone in a Sainsbury's bag. Keegans of the Week feature everyone from Ja Morant to the Russian gamblers who conned into betting on a fake Indian Cricket League by unemployed farmers.

    Blue Rising with Psycho Comedy's Shaun Powell

    Powelly's back to torture a wounded Pope over Everton's victory at Anfield. We discuss the fallout from the game, The Blues ambitions, Jamie Carragher's jarg leather jackets, Michael Owen's pub lifestyle and whether Shaqiri's hair transplant is getting him more minutes under Klopp? You'll struggle to find a funnier Merseyside Derby review. Away from football there's Tiger Woods talk, while Shaun shares his concerns as a musician of the impact lockdown is having on the industry. Thanks for the listen. Give us a shout @gamblingwiththepope on instagram to get involved in the show.
