Welcome to The Spread Zone—where sports betting meets reckless optimism, questionable logic, and the occasional stroke of genius. Hosted by Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter, this is the sports betting podcast for degenerates who swear they’re one parlay away from early retirement. Whether you’re chasing the juice, fading your own picks, or just here for the schadenfreude, we’ve got you covered (unlike half our bets). Expect hot takes, bad beats, and zero accountability.
