WMVP (ESPN 1000)/Chicago Adds Weekly Sports Betting Show With Mike North And Carmen DeFalco

Betting On North

ESPN Sports WMVP-A (ESPN 1000)/CHICAGO is launching a weekly sports gambling show featuring the return of longtime CHICAGO radio sports talker MIKE NORTH to the local airwaves.  NORTH will co-host "THE ODDS COUPLE" with midday co-host CARMEN DEFALCO FRIDAYS 6-7p (CT) beginning MARCH 8th.

VP/GM JIM PASTOR said, “As sports betting moves from the shadows to the spotlight, we expect to be a destination for those who participate and those who want to be entertained.  This isn’t only going to be about updated betting lines and hot tips. It’s about the highs, the lows and how to succeed and have fun whether you’re a grizzled veteran or a newcomer to sports betting.

“Those in betting circles already know of MIKE’s incredible track record as a long-time gambling expert.  Bringing MIKE back to CHICAGO’s airwaves to become a lead voice in local sports betting was too good to pass up.  Pairing him with ESPN1000’s resident gambling guru, CARMEN DEFALCO, was a no-brainer.”

NORTH, formerly a longtime host at crosstown WSCR-A (670 THE SCORE) and FOX SPORTS RADIO, added, “I started handicapping at age 14 and lost for 40 years, but haven’t had a losing year in the last five. You are judged by your picks and wins, and that’s why this show will be number one.  I’ve always said gambling and winning is about believing and confidence. Scared money has no home.”
