We’re back for another edition of Club 20 Trivia and this week its Sports/Popular Culture. So break out the lego for the kid and the drinks for yourself and whoever you’ve been stuck in lockdown with these past weeks and enjoy the pub quiz that brings the pub to you in these dark, uncertain times. Club 20 Scoring System It’s out of 40 points and let us be the first to tell you, if you claim to get all 40 of them we'll accuse you of cheating and slowly shake my head in a very deliberate, very judgmental way at you.  Don’t be that person, after all you are only cheating yourself.  0-5 Points: Really? Less than five? Geez this can’t have been fun for you at all. You’ve managed to handle this trivia worse than Scotty and Gladys have handled the pandemic! 6-15 Points: Look you tried, you got a few right, had a few drinks and forgot for just an hour where you are and why you’re stuck there – so in one sense you are the real winners of this trivia. Of course, in another more real and legally binding sense, you were very far from winning anything and kind of went pretty shit, but thanks for playing.    16-25 Points: Solid effort, well played. Look you didn’t get the win but you are proud of the effort from the boys, you’ve given credit to the opposition and will look forward to putting in a mathematically impossible 110% effort next week, hoping to better control only that which you can control (and nothing more).  26-36 points: Very well done. You’ve earned the comfort that comes with knowing you are generally fairly good at things, but honest enough to mark yourself wrong especially on any 50/50 calls. Shout yourself the rest of the afternoon off and go and grab another beverage.   37-40 Points: Like everyone in the clubhouse when they finally locate that team that ‘shot 49 and missed a few putts too’ at the local Ambrose day, we are simultaneously in awe of your score and consider you are a dirty, dirty cheater. As we shake your hands and smile at you, all we are thinking is that your lies are making baby jesus cry!  Who knows, we may make these abit more regular if people like them, so if you do/did, let us know about it via twitter @Club20_ or by liking/sharing it with your mates.  Cheers!

We’ll be honest, not being able to play golf, go and see our mates and really a myriad of other annoying/depressing happenings across the state of NSW/Australia/the world has been starting to take its toll. Like a lot of you out there, we’ve been pretty flat these past few days, so we were pleasantly surprised to find an activity that was a very happy distraction.  Hopefully it can be the start of an enjoyable afternoon (or morning, we don’t judge here) session for you as well!  If we can’t go out into the world, can’t go and enjoy a nice cold beverage with good friends at the pub or club, then we thought let’s bring the pub to you. Club 20 Scoring System It’s out of 40 points and let us be the first to tell you, if you claim to get all 40 of them we'll accuse you of cheating and slowly shake my head in a very deliberate, very judgmental way at you.  Don’t be that person, after all you are only cheating yourself.  0-5 Points: Really?

It's been described by some as the "Melbourne Cup" of Australian sports betting. For punters, beating the Brownlow is as tough as it gets. It's not enough to simply know who played well in each and every game of the season (as hard as that is on its own). To bust open the Brownlow, bettors must get inside the minds of the men and women giving the votes... the umpires. And, that, of course, is impossible. Or is it? Stats Insider's senior AFL data analyst, Greg Butyn, joins Hedge Hopkins to discuss a revolutionary way of modelling the 2020 Brownlow Medal.   In this podcast, we look at markets including:  Outright Winner; Top 5 / Top 10 Finish; Leader After Rounds 5 / 10; Team Leaders; and much, much more! Download Stats Insider's complete 2020 Brownlow Medal report right here.

New Golf etiquette, AFL and Racing news, trivia, prizes and the running of the Covid-19 1000m Sprint - as the world locks down we're kicking things up a notch on Episode 2 of Sportocalypse Now.  Oh yes and also, Hedge gets up on his soapbox to deliver a compelling case as to why cheaters should never, ever prosper in sport...god help us all!

Sports, punting, trivia, giveaways, stupidity, man-tears and a decent amount of additional idiocy (we warned you), this new podcast from Club 20 features everything (well most things. ok some things) that we shattered, broken sports-loving punters need to get us through this - welcome to Sportocalypse Now!

Well, it's all come down to this. The Chiefs and the 49ers face off in Miami for Super Bowl LIV and the famous Lombardi Trophy. The boys are back after a PERFECT postseason (to date) on Locks of the Week, while last episode Josh went 2-0 on his best, and Nick's bets were Raheem Mostert-Conference Championship-like going 3-0 on his best bets and hitting the longshot double at a juicy $3.20. What's the plan for Super Bowl 54? Josh, James and Nick each give their best analysis for the season finale, with best bets, score predictions and abit of fun with some novelty props at the end.

After a tense Wild Card Weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs proved to be the only one of last season's quarterfinalists to return to the Divisional Round. The good news, this podcast won’t finish the season - or their career - with a pick six... The podcast lock of the week was a push (12-5-2 on the season), as the Buffalo Bills squandered a 16-0 lead to lose to the Houston Texans by three points in OT, who, by the way, was the only home winner of the Wildcard Weekend. If you were lucky enough to get the extra point or half-point on the Bills as Nick did on his longshot line-total double, well done! Meanwhile, James is laughing as his pre-playoff tip of Derrick Henry for most playoff rushing yards ($13AUD) is off to a belter, with the Tennessee Titans RB racking up 182 yards on the ground in an upset victory against the New England Patriots, and none of the other remaining playoff teams with a stable, consistent, number one running option (bar Aaron Jones at the Green Bay Packers who had a week off)! Josh and James have been hard at work this week while Nick recovers from the loss of his Philadelphia Eagles last week in their Wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks (and the flu). The lads chat about the coaching carousel at work in the NFL, with four of five potential vacancies already filled. Does anyone remember the Rooney Rule? Is there something sinister going on at the NFL or at franchise ownership level? After looking at their takeaways from the Wildcard Weekend, the boys jump straight into analysing the Divisional Playoff matchups. As always the the show ends with Best Bets, Long Shots, a quick look at the Stats Insider model's favourite plays for the week, and a reminder that you can now follow live scores and in-game probabilities as events happen on the field at statsinsider.com.au, absolutely free for every NFL playoff game.

The boys kick off the show with their biggest takeaways from Week 17 and also from the regular season. 2019 Podcast Best Bet Records: Podcast Lock of the Week: 12-5-1 (66.6%) Josh: 29-21-2 best bets (55.8%) Nick: 31-21 best bets (59.6%) As always the the show ends with Best Bets, Long Shots, a quick look at the Stats Insider model's favourite plays for the week, and a reminder that you can now follow live scores and in-game probabilities as events happen on the field, right here at Stats Insider, absolutely free for every NFL game.

Nick and Josh return for a short catchup in Week 17 after Christmas, talking through the matchups that matter. With all games split over Sunday and Sunday night,  we're in for a massive Monday (Australian time) of NFL Football. James is away this week but has left us with an article on Stats Insider discussing the talking points of a Week 17 where six of eight division winners have already been decided.

The Week 16 episode of the Punt Return Podcast opens with a look back at some of the best or worst betting beats in recent memory, with the Philadelphia Eagles covering against the Washington Redskins in spectacular fashion, with a last second fumble recovery in Week 15, only to be outdone by the total soaring over the line in the Atlanta Falcons vs San Francisco 49ers game with an incredible 12 points scored in the final 5 seconds. Incredible. Nick, James & Josh recap the rest of Week 15 by discussing why fantasy football stinks at this time of the season, where Drew Brees ranks among the all time Quarterbacks, and an incredibly tight Defensive Player of the Year race between Stephon Gilmore, TJ Watt, Danielle Hunter & Aaron Donald. NFL PREDICTIONS: Week 15 Matchups and Projections Week 16 kicks off with an impressive 'Super Sunday' slate of games, all involving a playoff contender, or - in the case of the Buffalo Bills & New England Patriots - playoff contenders. Multiple. The guys discuss the form of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense of late, in particular, the improved play of QB Jameis Winston. Can he ruin the Houston Texans chances of locking up the AFC South? While discussing every week 16 games, the panel argue about what the worst game of the week is. Josh pounds the table for the Indianapolis Colts vs Carolina Panthers game while laughing at the fact that Indy QB, Jacoby Brissett, has been named a Pro Bowl alternative. Nick & James both believe it has to be either the New York Giants vs Washington Redskins game, in a woeful matchup of the 'NFC Least'. Arguably the biggest game of the week is the actual battle for the NFC East, between the Dallas Cowboys & Philadelphia Eagles. The guys are split across the board on that game with a variety of plays. The name 'Cooper Rush' somehow dominates the chat. The Week 16 podcast also features extensive discussion on the form of Tom Brady over the last six weeks, DeVante Parker’s impressive season, why the Kansas City Chiefs might be the second best team in the entire NFL, why the Detroit Lions are morons for retaining Matthew Edward F*&#ing Patricia, Minnestota Viking Alexander Mattison’s Spanish and Booger’s “creative” MNF artwork.

The boys are back and ready for a big Week 15 of NFL football. After last weekend's slate included what might just be the best game of the season between the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints, this week feels like a let down week but with so much at stake for a number of teams there's plenty to talk about! From Denver's potential QB of the future, Drew Lock, to Carson Wentz's struggles in Philadelphia, to the new New England Patriots cheating scandal and the Tennessee Titans shortening by the week for the AFC Championship, there's something in this week's podcast for every NFL fan, not to mention at least one betting play for each matchup in Week 15. Finally, Nick rolls through the Stats Insider NFL model projections for the week, remembering that the podcast is recorded on a Thursday afternoon (AEST), leaving plenty of time for the model to evolve and develop as more information becomes available to identify value against the sportsbook markets.
