    S4E3: Three Dads in Spirit

    Shaun is off saving lives on the night shift, so Dennis and Aaron hold down the fort for the first full slate of Season 4. Week 1 went better than anyone had a right to expect, the NFL is officially back, and the guys lock in three college bets and two NFL plays, one of them built on Dennis's own dig through more than a decade of NFL data. Shaun's picks came in through the group chat, so he is here in spirit. Goal: $10,000. Let's dance. In This Episode The Ledger. A winning first week and a bankroll headed in the right direction. The guys are already calculating how fast they hit ten grand at this rate. (Very fast. Totally sustainable. No notes.)Dennis falls on his sword. One Week 1 bet was so sloppy it gets its own confession, plus a reaction to a certain Colorado head coach declaring his team "back" after one game.The sweat and the blowout. A first half that had everyone knocking on wood, a group chat that would not stop jinxing it, and a Sun Devils game so lopsided the opposing coach asked to shorten the fourth quarter.Does the rule still work? Shaun's Week 1 strategy gets its first report card, and the guys admit these kinds of matchups are about to get a lot harder to find.Three college bets. One where the guys stray from the rule on pure gut feel, one local game nobody is excited about, and one opponent coming off a loss to a school the hosts are not fully convinced exists. Tarleton State alumni, please write in.The NFL is back. A Thursday opener that cost a lot of fantasy managers, and a division rivalry shipped all the way to Australia.Dennis does the homework. Following Shaun's lead, Dennis runs the numbers on more than 3,000 NFL games and finds an angle with a real edge. It drives one of this week's tracked NFL bets.Buckets of Cash. One host doubles down on a game already in the slate and goes hunting for an alt line. The other lifts a play straight from his survivor pool and has some choice words for an entire franchise.RFK Pick of the Week. The segment lives on because Shaun refused to let it die. Both hosts go upset hunting, and one of them still cannot call a team by its current city.

    S4E2: First Money Down

    The record still says 0-0, the bankroll still says $150, and this is the last episode either of those things will be true. The guys run the full NFL futures board, all eight divisions plus both conferences and the Super Bowl, then reveal the first three tracked bets of Season 4. Real money, real book, real chance to look foolish by Sunday night. Bankroll: $150. Goal: $10,000. Let's dance. The Ledger. Undefeated, unbeaten, untested. Zero bets placed, zero dollars lost, and the guys admit this is probably the best the record will look all year.A new daily bet. Shaun pitches a small daily play to keep the bankroll working during the week instead of sitting idle until Saturday. Details on where to find those are below.NFL futures, all eight divisions. Two divisions where all three hosts land on the same team, two where nobody agrees, and one long-shot swing that made the other two say "what the" out loud.The divisions nobody wants. One gets called the worst in football, another gets called the hardest, and both get the same prediction: everybody beats up on everybody.Homer picks, admitted. At least two hosts take a team they have no business taking, and one takes a team he openly hopes he is wrong about.Conference champs and the Super Bowl. The least suspenseful segment in show history. All three hosts on the same NFC team, and Dennis says so himself.Shaun does the homework. A ten-season data dive into massive Week 1 spreads and what actually happens with the total when a power program schedules a body bag game. The result is a strategy, and it drives one of this week's tracked bets.Three bets, locked and placed. All on DraftKings, agreed in the group chat before the record button, and one of them settles Thursday night before the rest of the slate even kicks off.Buckets of Cash. A neutral-site game that is not remotely neutral, a big number nobody wants to lay, and one host doubling down on a play he already talked himself out of.RFK Pick of the Week. The segment almost gets killed on air for the crime of the hosts doing too much actual research. It survives. Barely. Aliens are involved.Road to $10K | raddadnetwork.com/shows/dancing-with-the-odds/road-to-10kTrack Everything Road to $10K | raddadnetwork.com/shows/dancing-with-the-odds/road-to-10kPick of the Day | raddadnetwork.com/shows/dancing-with-the-odds/pick-of-the-day NFL Week 1 is finally here.

    S4E1: Back in the Saddle: CFB Futures and a New Format

    Dancing With The Odds | Season 4, Episode 1Hosts: Dennis Tresca, Aaron Patterson, Shaun Thompson Season 4 is here and the dance dads are back with a clean slate — new format, new website, new bankroll, and a whole lot of college football futures. No tracked bets this week (Week 0 was, in Shaun's words, awful), so instead the guys lay out how the season is going to run and put their money where their mouths are on conference champs, the national title, and one very familiar Nebraska win total. Fund starts at $150. Goal is $10,000. Let's dance. Five tracked bets every week — three college, two NFL. Locked in before the record button ever gets hit.DraftKings is the official book of Season 4. One book, consistent numbers, no cherry-picking after the fact.$50 from each host = a $150 starting bankroll, chasing $10K.No parlays. Lesson learned. Straight bets only.Mid-season review coming, so everyone can talk their share of trash.Everything tracked live at raddadnetwork.com — no more Substack, we own the whole thing now.Conference championship futures. All four of the big ones — ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC — and three hosts who mostly refuse to take the favorite. Debates over whether the only thing that ever stops Miami is Miami, whether money can simply buy a Big 12 title, and how anyone is supposed to pick a Big Ten or SEC champ when those schedules eat their own. National championship picks. Two hosts land on the same team. One goes hunting for a much bigger number. Season buckets of cash. The Nebraska win total. All three hosts are already on the same side, and Shaun walks the schedule game by game to explain why. RFK Pick of the Year. No research. Poor ideas. Pure b******t. Shaun's segment from last season gets promoted to a full-season edition, and one host completely fails the assignment by doing too much homework. Want the actual numbers? Every tracked bet lands on the Road to $10K page once the season starts.

    S3E4 - Dennis is Banished...

    This week hosts Shaun and Aaron are joined by a "spirit" of their third co-host, Dennis, who has been "banished" from betting after all of his picks lost last week. Aaron and Shaun are not letting that get them down. They're looking to turn things around this week with a new set of picks, including a "locked-in" bet from an accidental wager Shaun made last week.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment to let us know your thoughts on the episode! Subscribe to our newsletter @ https://raddadnetwork.com/ Online store:https://rad-dad-network.printify.me/p... Produced by the Rad Dad Network Theme song by Alex VyshnevskyiDisclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

    S3E2 - Our Degenerate Bookie in Iowa (Disclaimer)

    Unfortunately, if you were hoping the Dancing with the Odds Ucrew would be in the same digital room to celebrate the start of Week 1 of the college football season, you're going to be disappointed. Due to some last-minute scheduling conflicts, the team had to improvise. They've entrusted their official funds to Sean, who has taken on the crucial role of being their resident degenerate bookie. He's currently in Iowa, where he had to go to legally place their bets.Coming off a tough 0-2 Week 0 performance , the guys have a few new bets and a parlay to hopefully turn their luck around and get their financial future back on track.Aaron starts us off with a classic bet, fading Fresno State. After their tough loss last week, he's taking Georgia Southern -1.5 against them.Dennis is feeling good about Tennessee -13.5 against Syracuse , noting that coach Josh Heupel has a perfect 9-0 record against the spread in opening games.And finally, Shaun is going with a big one: Penn State -42.5 against Nevada. He argues that top-10 teams typically cover big spreads like this, and Penn State will be looking to make a statement.The trio is also lumping all three bets into a $10 parlay with a potential payout of about $53. Listen to hear all the details and decide if you want to follow their lead or maybe do the exact opposite!
