  • Free Horse Giveaway With DanShan (Ep. 16)

    Free Horse Giveaway With DanShan (Ep. 16)
    Aug 28 2022

    DanShan is back and the world of Zed Run lending has arrived whether we’re ready or not. For current Zed Run stable owners the way to lend horses is simple. You stake 250 Zed tokens on the lending market to receive a permit. Then with the permit you can add horse to the market. If someone chooses to borrow it a four day contract will be initiated then you’ll split the winning while they have it. Pretty simple stuff but we go into pretty deep detail of the ramifications for the game going forward. We plan on lending out to each other soon to see how it all works and tank each other’s donkeys to oblivion.

    The Strategy Behind Z268s

    We also get some great breeding insight for the Z268 tourneys. DanShan really knows his stuff and I can’t wait to try his system out for myself. Definitely worth trying considering the cost to breed them.

    Thoughts On 6 Horse Races

    Six horses races have now been rolled out in an experiment and boy are they fun. Although there are concerns in regards to data analytics I think that’s an easy fix and it only creates more fun. Very encouraging to see and the fact they fill up so quick will only increase user involvement. Paid races in Zed Run needed this exciting little change.

    Everybody Loves A Good Nood

    Zed Noods are here! Honestly the nightmares haven’t stopped since I saw them. We kind of go off the rails here but sweet fancy Moses these things are terrifying. View at your own discretion.

    Our First Zed Run Horse Giveaway!

    Last but not least we do our first giveaway! Huge thanks to DanShan for donating and congrats to Tad8754 for the win! Make sure you reach out to us to get your horse!

  • Buying A ZED Horse Revisited (Ep. 15)

    Buying A ZED Horse Revisited (Ep. 15)
    Aug 22 2022
    On Episode 2 we discussed how to buy a horse, but things change quickly in the Zed Run landscape so we wanted to make sure to clarify a few things. As more tools become available and easier to use there's never been a better time to make informed decisions when buying a Zed Run horse.Speed KillsAs Blake said, “fast horses breed fast horses.” At the end of the day the more speed you have in the stable the more things you can do with it. Remember you want your breeding pairs to have matching distance preferences so keep that in mind when building your stable early on. Matching those distance preferences with similar high-speed horses in the same distance goes a long way toward building confidence in how you build your stable from within. Like most things, research is a major key. The more research you do, the easier it becomes to spot advantages and excellent pairings.Things To Look ForWhen evaluating speed you ideally want to find horses that flash elite numbers in more than one distance. If you have two horses that flash hard at 1200m and 1400m they probably make a good breeding pair. If they have a matching tank distance even bigger bonus. One thing we've honed in on lately is finding those pairs with matching DP and tank distance preferences. With things ever changing in Zed Run, this seems to be a combo that has held strong in breeding 2.0.Market ChangesA couple of months ago you could pretty much only buy horses on OpenSea. Now Hawku and others have stepped up as viable alternative markets. To be able to buy and sell on Hawkuyou'll need to purchase a very small amount of the MATIC token to bridge the transactions. Also, make sure you check if a male is in the stud barn before you buy! Happened to me twice lately. Waiting on a few more entries for our free horse giveaway before we do the first one so please head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a five-star rating review. We need the review so I have your screen name to enter the raffle. Good luck everyone!SGPN FREE SURVIVOR POOL - https://play.runyourpool.com/sgpnSGPN Merch Store - https://sg.pn/storeDownload The Free SGPN App - https://sgpn.appWynnBET - Bet $100 and get a $100 FREE bet! - https://sg.pn/WynnBETJoin Sleeper and get a 100% deposit bonus up to $100 - https://sleeper.com/sgpSupport for this episode - IPVanish.com/sgp | OddsTrader.com/bluewire Follow The Sports Gambling Podcast On Social MediaTwitter - http://twitter.com/ZedPodcastInstagram -http://instagram.com/zedgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcast Follow The Hosts On Social MediaScott Bowser - http://twitter.com/scott_bowserBlake Meyer - http://twitter.com/buhhlockaye Chase Sessoms - http://twitter.com/OfOaklawnWatch the Sports Gambling PodcastYouTube - https://www.sg.pn/YouTubeTwitch - https://www.sg.pn/Twitch Read & Discuss - Join the conversationWebsite - https://www.sportsgamblingpodcast.comDiscord - https://sg.pn/discord Reddit - https://www.sg.pn/reddit Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Breeding 2.0 (Ep. 14)

    Breeding 2.0 (Ep. 14)
    Aug 15 2022
    So as we’ve learned more about Zed Run breeding 2.0, it seems like not only is base ability and distance preference passed down, but variance most definitely is too. I’ve seen this firsthand with a new breed I just did Melrose Avenue. Definitely was able to get her mother’s high variance to go with her father’s distance preference. That goes a long way towards helping improve the line a little. Now going forward it doesn’t appear breeding lotto tickets will really hit like they used to. I could definitely see them tweaking the variance in new horses going forward for a breeding 3.0 update, though. I get they don’t want variance luck to be the only way to build a stable but there needs to be a balance with skill and some luck sprinkled in.Perhaps the biggest nugget to drop was it seems progression is on the way. Horses will essentially have their power score and a potential score and it will take the best horse management to get the most out of it. This is a great development and gives me hope that a Zed Run version of Seabiscuit is out there. A perceived donkey that can thrive in the right hands. Can’t wait to see how this works out going forward. This could lead to an entirely new strategy for both breeding and racing.Six horse races are now being experimented with a week after the screenshot was shared showing head-to-head racing. This is, hopefully, all leading to customizable private races where smaller communities can compete among each other without fear of getting killed by the bigger stables. If small stables only exist to kick up cash to the bigger ones the game is in trouble. In a perfect world, though, this is all laying the groundwork for that type of expansion.Becca from Zed Run is doing some class system user feedback sessions so I’m guessing the changes there are coming soon. The game still has Its kinks to work out but, at end of the day, it’s still in beta testing and will take some work in the short term to achieve its full potential.I’m working on a breeding spreadsheet that appears to be really helping me. Once I get it fully dialed in the template will be available right here for you to download and use yourselves. Appreciate all the support everyone and please reach out to @ZedPodcast on Twitter if you have any questions. Good luck out there!SGPN FREE SURVIVOR POOL - https://play.runyourpool.com/sgpnSGPN Merch Store - https://sg.pn/storeDownload The Free SGPN App - https://sgpn.appWynnBET - Bet $100 and get a $100 FREE bet! - https://sg.pn/WynnBETJoin Sleeper and get a 100% deposit bonus up to $100 - https://sleeper.com/sgpSupport for this episode - IPVanish.com/sgp | OddsTrader.com/bluewire Follow The Sports Gambling Podcast On Social MediaTwitter - http://twitter.com/ZedPodcastInstagram -http://instagram.com/zedgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcast Follow The Hosts On Social MediaScott Bowser - http://twitter.com/scott_bowserBlake Meyer - http://twitter.com/buhhlockaye Chase Sessoms - http://twitter.com/OfOaklawnWatch the Sports Gambling PodcastYouTube - https://www.sg.pn/YouTubeTwitch - https://www.sg.pn/Twitch Read & Discuss - Join the conversationWebsite - https://www.sportsgamblingpodcast.comDiscord - https://sg.pn/discord Reddit - https://www.sg.pn/reddit Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Zed Token Part 2 with BG (Ep. 13)

    Zed Token Part 2 with BG (Ep. 13)
    Aug 9 2022
    After a week of studying (and some wild highs and lows) I was able to go over the Zed Token white paper and figure a few things out. Good thing BG was available to come on and help clarify things about the air drop and the future of the token going forward. The distribution still hasn’t quite been completely figured out but as BG says in the episode he’s figured out about 70% of it. The tier system still leaves a lot of questions there but since that was the only air drop it’s probably best to focus on coin distribution going forward. Ideally they’ll give us ways to spend it before they begin rewarding it to help keep the supply and demand in check. However the token is available to buy and trade on a couple of exchanges such as SushiSwap and MEXC. Be careful as you would with any crypto investment but if you’re looking to stockpile before the game switches over to the coin you can find it to purchase there. Now the big token related news this week was the announcement that lending is coming any day now. This has the potential to give a lot of horses value and onboard new players with minimum risk. It appears as if you’ll stake tokens for a lending permit then enter the lending market. Any profits made by the horses will be split between lender and borrower. No word as of writing this if the number of permits will be capped at a certain number or if they’ll be given out each month in a lottery type system. There was also a very interesting screenshot posted by Zed creative director and co-founder Chris Ebeling on twitter. He showed a shot if two horses running down a two lane track in what we can only hope means head to head racing is coming soon. There’s been a serious problem with the competitive balance in the game and something like this will give every horse a chance to win a little by making the matchups as even as possible. This is the kind of thing that can lead to party mode and other ways casual players can enjoy the game without getting beat up by the top 1% of players. BG also shares with us his plans for zandyland.run which will be coming soon and should be a major player in third party tournaments and other contests. It’s really cool seeing so many developers working hard to give horses a value outside the main game. It would be nice if Zed followed the communities lead more often and figured out ways to give even the worst horses a chance to win something. Obviously they’re not running a charity here but stable and player numbers are going down for a reason and lack of ways to win a little money is one of them. Big thanks to BG, DanShan, Zombie Racing and others who are really doing some incredible work here. I’m excited to see what people do going forward and hopefully we can keep it all evolving and finding new ways to get enjoyment from the game.SGPN FREE SURVIVOR POOL - https://play.runyourpool.com/sgpnSGPN Merch Store - https://sg.pn/storeDownload The Free SGPN App - https://sgpn.appWynnBET - Bet $100 and get a $100 FREE bet! - https://sg.pn/WynnBETJoin Sleeper and get a 100% deposit bonus up to $100 - https://sleeper.com/sgpSupport for this episode - IPVanish.com/sgp | OddsTrader.com/bluewire Follow The Sports Gambling Podcast On Social MediaTwitter - http://www.twitter.com/gamblingpodcastInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/sportsgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcast Follow The Hosts On Social MediaSean Green - http://www.twitter.com/seantgreenRyan Kramer - http://www.twitter.com/kramercentric Watch the Sports Gambling PodcastYouTube - https://www.sg.pn/YouTubeTwitch - https://www.sg.pn/Twitch Read & Discuss - Join the conversationWebsite - https://www.sportsgamblingpodcast.comDiscord - https://sg.pn/discord Reddit - https://www.sg.pn/reddit Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Zed Token Part 1 (Ep. 12)

    Zed Token Part 1 (Ep. 12)
    Jul 31 2022

    Well the big day finally came! Zed Token is here and so far it’s been a wild ride. On Thursday morning stable owners awoke to their wallets having a nice surprise in the form of Zed Tokens. Based upon a June 1st 2022 snapshot Zed stable owners were rewarded based on horse ownership, number of paid/free races completed, number of horses bred with your mares, number of studs entered into barn, skin ownership and more. So depending on your ownership and activity you were allotted so much based on what tier activity level you fell in. 34.7% of the tokens have been set aside for this play and earn feature so more is coming down the line. As of this writing the coin has been as high as $0.1934 per coin with several stables being rewarded thousands of coins so it’s definitely triggered some major buying and selling. Zed Token tournaments (courtesy of our dude DanShan) and poker games have immediately popped up with the community wasting no time to find utility for the coin. With Zed just launching the token and not announcing the uses for it in game yet it seems there’s a lot of potential here.

    Thanks for checking this episode out everyone I hope this helps clear up any immediate questions and concerns and make sure you check out our next episode and post where we’ll help everyone set goals that will help you get the most tokens available in the distribution pool for your stable no matter the size. Remember this is NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE show. I can’t really speculate here about the long term prospects of the coin or cryptocurrency in general. But this is easily the biggest development in Zed since I started playing and I’m excited to see where it all goes. Spend wisely and never feel any shame for cashing out money if you need it.

  • Avoiding Fatigue (Ep. 11)

    Avoiding Fatigue (Ep. 11)
    Jul 27 2022

    Everyone in Zed knows how fatigue can negatively impact our horses. If you run them too much they won’t perform until the stamina meter goes back up. Well, we as humans are the same and it’s important to keep that perspective. Avoiding burnout and exhaustion is important to having a fun experience with whatever you do whether it’s Zed Run, fantasy football, or golf. Okay, those are the only things I do. But doing these things in balance is important so we decided to take an episode to make sure we’re not going to flame out like Dick Vermeil. Sure we talk about the new tourney tracker and some other Zed things but this was a great time to confront the fact that it’s okay to step away from the game occasionally and it won’t hurt. You can recharge and gain a new perspective that will help you going forward. Feel free to hit us up on Twitter @ZedPodcast if you’re stressed or need to vent about something. As a community, we must take care of each other when things look grim. Thanks for your support of the show, we can’t wait to keep learning and growing with the game and all of you!

  • DanShan 2.0 (Ep. 10)

    DanShan 2.0 (Ep. 10)
    Jul 13 2022

    Back in the saddle again this week with our guy DanShan and it’s a beauty. Since he was last on, we’ve come a long way with our analytics and we got another lesson in peak performance this time as well. DanShan has scrapped his old StackedNaks and replaced it with ZLead. I’m a huge fan of the new site and love what he’s done with it.


    ZLead has all the analytical data and charts we loved on StackedNaks but also provides a lot of stuff sites like Know Your Horses and Hawku have. It really is an all in one comprehensive tool that has pretty much everything you need. The Speed Chute is a simple chart that really helps you figure out where your top speeds are coming from. Plus the site is a great tool for finding horses on the open market complete with purchase links on Hawku. Definitely check it out and of course DanShan is always available on twitter (@Spotonparts) to answer any questions via DM. Easily one of the coolest guys in the world of Zed we love having him on and he’ll definitely be back soon.


    We also discussed the new Top Six paid races and agree that they are really something the game sorely needed. Now they’re not true double-ups it would be great to see that next but it’s a solid start. On a $2.50 Top Six the payouts can vary with the price of ETH so in a recent one I ran the prize pool was $26.31. Payouts were: 1st-$8.42 2nd-$5.78 3rd-$4.21 4th-6th-$2.63. For this particular race the entry fee was $2.19 at time of writing this since the price of ETH has gone down from when the race occurred. We came to a consensus that these races are extremely valuable because as he said it “I either win $.50 or get to downclass at the worst.” That sums it up perfectly and these races just made more horses out there worth running in paid races. Good move by Zed and I hope to see more of these type of things. The C5/6 $1 races are alright but these have already provided me with hours of entertainment and caused me to reevaluate everything to make sure I’m running the right horses in these. I’m working on a top six profit chart I hope to have ready soon.

  • Speed Kills with Blake Meyer (Ep. 9)

    Speed Kills with Blake Meyer (Ep. 9)
    Jul 7 2022


    We’re back again and even though we haven’t reached ten episodes we already have our first success story. That’s right our baseball editor here at SGPN Blake Meyer got into Zed when we started doing the show and has since built up an impressive stable with solid success. He’s an absolute maniac pounding dozens of races a day and showing some damn good results lately. Check out his progress in the SGPN Slack Channel with daily reports. Seems like he’s always winning at least 15% of his races and 100% blames us for getting involved like this.


    A big factor in his success has been focusing on speed. I kind of scoffed at race times for a while. It seemed like there wasn’t much of a gap in times from class to class. But using them to establish kilometers per hour and then comparing those top speeds to the median seems to have some serious value. Especially looking at fastest in last 90 days. That keeps you fresh and always with what’s currently happening in the game. Changes in Zed happen so frequently and it looks like more are on the way so it’s good to stay in the moment in your evaluations. To quote our own Ryan “Real Money” Kramer “there’s a reason why the windshield is bigger than the rear view.”


    It’s so amazing to see Blake grow with the show and lap us in terms of picking and managing winners. It shows that with the right approach and trusting the data you can get it going in the right direction quicker than later. I’m excited to see where he’s at in a few months with his stable and evaluations. If you’re finding the show helpful and have things to add or confirm something that’s worked feel free to reach out to zedrungamblingpodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter @ZedPodcast and Instagram @zedgamblingpodcast. Big thanks to everyone out there that’s reached out or left a review. Make sure you leave a five-star rating and leave a review on Apple Podcasts to enter our contest to win a FREE horse!
