Long time listener to Mike V. Love the pod. Last night took the STNASBALAS to 3-0 and took Kenny’s advice and jumped on the Avalanche as well Great work Mike in the shores

Love the podcast and made a nice profit this year during the football season so thank you. My idea for giving out live bets would be make a cash the ticket Twitter and if you have a live bet just tweet it out. I know Mike says he doesn’t want to do anything for free but this will get your podcast on more peoples timeline and “for you” page so you might get more listeners if they see your tweets.

Love the pod! Definitely miss the new eps during the slower seasons but you all work hard during football and CBB so you deserve a break. I do hope for the summer grilling tips to continue from Mike though!

Love the episodes, love the horse racing talk. Mike’s Mage talk last year made me fall in love with the sport after the derby last year.

Does Jim know it’s KenPom and not KenPaalm?

Sports betting pods don’t get better than this

A year plus listening to this informative podcast with experienced professional radio hosts from 97.1 in Detroit. They thoughtfully provide researched content of local and national sports. The in-depth, data driven analyses given by Valenti and Costa offers betting options in an engaging, hilarious entertainment format. Enjoy them while driving or relaxing at home. Previous post- last year at this time…. This amazing podcast has evolved through the Fall of ‘22 and now nearing Spring ‘23. Great commentary and banter, as well as, many positive lucrative betting suggestions cashed by myself. Looking forward to a new season and golf betting with Evan’s picks. Also, March Madness is on the horizon and tourney episodes will be 🔥🥃😎. Come and get yourself some Cash The Ticket experienced, researched and successful input.

It’s a fact of life

Great Pod!

Good content but couple of things. 1. Not Costa, Valenti or Evan’s fault but my god Audacy. The ads are *atrocious* I get it. They/you have bills to pay but…THIS REVIEW IS SPONSORED BY STREAMWRITER! IF YOU KNOW…YOU KNOW THE BEST APP TO GET WHAT YOU WANT TO GET… It’s super annoying to be listening to content and be interrupted by garbage. Like this review was interrupted. 2. You know the numbers. I don’t but my god. The part of a full episode and then full episode…thing…It absolutely SPAMS my Podcast feed. It’s super annoying. Valenti says you can scroll past it and ignore it… Okay, well I don’t have to subscribe and can download one off episodes when I think about it 3. The show is good. I miss Valenti doing Always Aggravated more. Reason being is I’m not a sports gambler just like the conversations more than anything. Also, would still want to have the Worst Sports franchises completed from that podcast more than anything. Maybe this off season? :)

Mike coming up with the system that’s not a system but plays like system has changed not only my college hoops gambling but close friends of mine as well. But, can we just call it a system at this point because it has the record to become one. Thank you

Great show from a betting and sports perspective.

Mike, I need a college basketball team for this March (or until Juwan is launched into space). The pre-requisites are: -they have to be currently on the bubble to make the experience interesting -they have to be fun to watch -can’t be Big Ten or Ohio based -preferably a mid-major team -have to be televised regularly - Jake from Detroit

Listen all of the time!

Thanks for all the entertainment. Great show even if you do not bet on sports. Would enjoy a monthly show that dives into something outside of sports. Grilling, movies, hobbies. Those conversations are the best.

Their show may be more entertaining than sports betting. The stay true to their strategies and compliment eachother perfectly. Well done, we appreciate you guys!

Been listening since Sully and Mike started it up years and years ago. Even if you don’t bet the games, this is hands-down the best podcast available to preview the games. Only thing I ask is that Mike trades Rico and 2 future first-round interns to the morning show to get Cookies on afternoons in Detroit too. Keep up the great work fellas!

Costa and Valenti go together like cookies and milk 😉. Always a good listen, wish you two were on primetime together, but this will have to do! One request, can we get some PGA picks from Sir Putts A Lot?! Keep up the amazing work, guys!

Had to unsubscribe. You guys are blasting my timeline. Don’t need a pod for every game across the board.

I think you are off on the Jordan Love being good when not being pressured. He is good even when he is pressured. Since Week 10 he has the 2nd highest PFF grade against pressure and 3rd highest PFF grade against the blitz. He is 2nd in QBR against pressure during that time. Even against Dallas, he was 5/7 for 152 yards and 2TD against pressure. He is a flat out hot quarterback right now, even when he is getting pressure.

Awesome podcast. Listen to every pod since the Mike Sullivan days. Please do Super Bowl exacta.

I enjoy the deep statistical dive into games. Plus, the element of fun comes through in their delivery.

Love these guys

Hey guys. Love the pod. Question how long is it going to take before players opt out of a 12 team playoff game?

Very entertaining podcast, even if you just watch sports without gambling. It might even make you a better human being by listening. No fall weddings. Mostaccioli is not real Italian food. Basketball courts can have tracks around them. Keep up the great work, guys.

JC is our patron saint! The Italian pope of Detroit sports radio ain’t bad either. 10/10 pod, making the D proud & bricked up.

Big fan of Valenti for years and have always wanted a podcast from him. I think he’s nailed it with the sports betting. I’m not a big better myself, but I love to hear the sports analysis and the betting strategies. I wasn’t familiar with Costa before this podcast, but he’s awesome and the two have good chemistry. With all that being said, I have some complaints… 1) the episodes are inconvenient to navigate. No one wants small clips that are half ads and just plucked from the full episode that I listen to anyway. I would suggest only uploading the full episodes to Apple Podcasts (and other podcast platforms), and posting the clips on social media or YouTube. It’s a pain to find only the full podcasts. 2) I only want to listen to Mike and Jim. If the two can’t make an episode together, I won’t listen. I don’t want to start a “FULL EPISODE”, only see hear the west coast correspondent (???) drag though an hour. Not sure why they can’t just have their own show. If I go to listen to Cash the Ticket, I only want to listen to Mike and Jim - not some stand-ins. 3) Lastly, I wish they’d make their boards easier to find. I listen to the episodes, but I’d love to see them publish their picks - either in the episode descriptions or on social media.

Would love to see some merchandise available to purchase, especially things with the cash the ticket logo one one side and the other side saying, “but I had the points”. Whether it be clothing or glassware. Your show is fantastic for content and even better for entertainment. Keep it goin and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Jim & Mike! Loved the Merry Podmas episode. Love the pod in Year 2 as well as the system that’s not a system but kinda plays like a system. Hoping that merch is on the way to start Year 3!

Hey yes! Merch! DDD- Desperate Divisional Dog. Teaser Pleaser. Valueeeeeee. Rita’s Raviolis. BGB. Bully Corner. Friendship Totals! All Gold!

The DR is the ghetto

Guys make it, create it, shut up and take my money! We all need cash the ticket merchandise in our lives. The glasses with the cash the ticket logo are all in for the drink collection. And Vern the value cactus and any saying on a T-shirt is life. Love the POD keep killing it guys.

Jim, Mike and Evan, Great year on Cash the Ticket. The amount of content and depth of detail are unrivaled. Entertainment factor is top notch as well. No more obvious than when Mike couldn’t hide his disdain for Jim’s Giants - Eagles pick. That “What the Efff is wrong with you” question came from his soul. Thank you all the hard work. Looking forward to more in 2024. All the best, Aaron

Love the pod - 5 stars! Let’s go bowl season - Nona needs groceries! Spartan for Bama

Costa is pretty cool too I guess haha. For real though, transplanted Detroiter living in South FL and Mikey and Cookies are the best. They should be on a National Show on ESPN or Fox instead of some of the clowns there but I digress. Keep doing your thing guys, love the format and content!

Just spent the last 30 minutes of my life completely distracted by Texas A&M Commerce winning a double OT thriller over Northern Colorado - and I’ve got this podcast to “thank” for it. College hoops betting rules are off the chain, and the entertainment level is top notch. Hopefully Mike can use his A&M Commerce winnings to spring for some NY studio furniture instead of the wicker patio stuff. 💰💵💰

You guys have the best sports betting podcast, and I’ve listened to almost all of them. You should really consider doing a player props segment once a week, maybe cut down the food stuff. Just sayin’ keep up the good work. Ken from Pittsburgh, PS I always tail the BGB and fade the Costa Lock!

Love the show, laugh out loud funny and I appreciate the work you do on your caps. First of all Mike, rocking chair NFL BGB! Second, what exactly is the record on costa locks? 3rd and most importantly Mike you owe Costa a face punch for the Packers “save your money” swarm, I anticipated at least a tongue lashing after he cost you money yet again. Keep up the great work! Love this show and share to with everyone I know! Jim

This used to be a great pod but unfortunately it’s turning into Valenti’s radio show and just non stop whining about Michigan.

With Mike always saying Costa is bringing the “smarm”…the nickname “Smarmesan Cheese” came to mind. Smarm+Italian…seems like a no-brainer. In all seriousness, you guys do an incredible job and most people don’t truly appreciate the skill it takes to do what you all do. I moved to Tennessee 10 years ago and listen to you guys and 97.1 every day…gives me just enough of the home sports coverage that I would truly miss if it wasn’t for these platforms. Go Blue, Go Lions! John in Tennessee

I love listening to these guys and it’s more than just picks. They’re genuinely entertaining. Even if they personally have an off week, they still have great angles and info because they cover so many extra games over what they’re betting. Edit - 12/2: You guys are still great, but F Oregon.

Love the insights but I do wish other sports were covered to bet on such as table tennis or the Norwegian soccer league. Lots of inefficient markets to take advatange of.

Guys, I like Evan Jenkins input the last few episodes. If he can just be involved more often I think it would be a good thing. Also, love his golf picks so keep them up on 2024 Evan!!

Mike has gotten too big for his britches and he’s taking cookies down with him. They made a mistake with the records and made fun of the guy instead of a true mea culpa. Disgraceful. Done with the ticket, done with the pod. Rated, reviewed, unsubscribed. Got a few other metro detroiters to unsubscribe too. Go to New York

Hey fellas, leaving a review from my wife’s iPad to help those numbers. Keep up the good work!

When is sir pucks a lot dropping his picks on the pod and not just the live show

Great betting advice and analysis. Podcast looses luster with clear bias against some teams.

As I sit here and watch Wake/NC State on what might as well be the Lifetime channel, all I can think about is Mike watching this game and throwing a chair and screaming “WHAT’RE WE DOING?!” lololol Love the pod guys! Keep it up! Mitch in Detroit

I enjoy the dialogue between the two hosts. The commitment to providing quality insight is noticeable in the podcast! On a side note I love the unadulterated banter and humor. “Louisville is going to put their dicks in that vase!”

Guys doing excellent job. Transplant Michigander down here in Delray Beach. Listen to 97 one the ticket all the time your podcasts are excellent keep it up absolutely positively love it! And one of you guys is kind of funny. Pretty sure it’s the guy from New York how do you say his last name like some kind of pasta? thanks Mike. Thanks Jim! Thought this went through four weeks ago. Live in South Florida. Do not understand how I cannot get daily Cash The Ticket on Audacy. Was looking for the Western Michigan move last night. Producer your text savvy guy. Whoever it is IT. It’s not showing up on time boys! ✌️
