Other guests included ESPN Chalk writer-reporter David Purdum, radio personality and sideline reporter Anita Marks, professional gambler Preston Johnson, ESPN Insider Jordan Schultz, and sports betting podcast host Joe Forentbaugh.

Sounding much like he does as a guest on SportCenter, the hockey analyst broke down the Ottawa-Philadelphia game for viewers, suggesting that there could be a lot of scoring (Flyers won 3-2, and the Under hit by 1.5 goals). Speaking of Melrose, it became clearer what ESPN executive Norby Williamson meant when he said the show wouldn’t just be tailored to gamblers. Scott Van Pelt and Barry Melrose won’t be giving us betting tips every day, but it’s nice to know the kind guests we can expect dropping in and out going forward. Like the pilot of a new series, Daily Wager introduced us to as many of its characters as it could. With help from ESPN personalities like Stanford Steve, Chris ‘the Bear’ Fallica, Scott Van Pelt and Barry Melrose joining Kezirian in studio - and many more guests joining remotely – the show tackled everything from Antonio Brown season-long props to hockey Over/Unders to Mid-Major college basketball picks.įeaturing 10 guests in its first episode, Daily Wager felt a bit rushed at times.
