‘Gamblers’ is an anthology series that follows the underground lives and careers of professional gamblers. Season 1 stretched from the blackjack table to the poolroom and all the way to the racetrack.
After reporting most of Season 1 remotely during the early days of the pandemic, host David Hill hits the road in Season 2, taking listeners to the places where hustlers and savants gather to compete with each other. This season, we’re visiting the golf courses of Las Vegas, the drag strips of Florida, and the Casino de Monte Carlo for a backgammon tournament.
‘Gamblers’ is not just a show about betting, it’s a show about the people who devoted their lives to gambling and never looked back.

Customer Reviews
More episodes!!!
Finally, a good podcast with real people. I’ve enjoyed the podcast so far. I hope you continue. I’ve travelled to country playing pool, staking good players, playing poker tournaments and more. It’s awesome that you focus on gambling and have different guests from different gambling back grounds. I look forward to future episodes.
Update: I wish you released more episodes, more often. There isn’t enough good gambling podcasts to enjoy.
Horrible
- bad interviewing skills
-not a real gambler. He’s the guys who’s at the table always watching. After he lost his $40 dollars.
-reads basic info/news from other podcast
- just a waste of time.
P.S. when you site facts from different places/studies please note where you got it from .
Freakonomics on steroids
Maybe if the music was not so bad the conversations would not be so boring. I listened to the backgammon story and i realized as a radio listener I prefer interviews to catnip
