Hey @JeffNadu , I’m honestly sitting here completely broken. After 12 years of marriage and 2 beautiful kids, my wife just told me she cheated on me and it feels like my whole world just collapsed overnight. Mafia rats, $1 bets and larping as a ladies man have been the only real escape keeping my head above water through the darkest days of my life right now. It’s a huge shot in the dark, but having you on my podcast would mean more to me than you could ever imagine. It would honestly bring a little bit of light back into a pretty dark place. Hope you see this.
@BookitWithTrent (~412k followers) generates far higher average likes and overall engagement than @MattZylbert (~4k followers). This reflects audience size, posting style (high-energy original content, memes, videos, and betting recaps vs. frequent low-visibility replies and callouts), and content mix. Data is based on recent posts (late August 2026) plus top/historical samples; exact long-term averages would require a full scrape.5
Likes per post
•@BookitWithTrent: Recent original/high-visibility posts commonly get 100–400+ likes (examples: 381, 287, 134, 131, 126). Viral or media-heavy posts reach 1k–5k+ likes (e.g., 1,032; 5,182 on a 2025 video; 3,577 on a Wemby post). Replies to others often get only 1–7 likes. A mixed recent sample averaged ~108 likes; top posts pull the mean much higher. Views frequently hit tens or hundreds of thousands.13
•@MattZylbert: Most recent posts (especially replies) get 0–1 likes and under 100 views. Original pick or streak posts typically get 10–60 likes (examples: 54 on a quoted callout, 61, 42, 26, 19, 15, 14, 11). A recent-day sample averaged well under 1 like; even “top” posts stay in the low dozens. He posts more frequently but with far lower per-post reach.23
Engagement volume (likes + replies + reposts + quotes)
Trent’s posts drive substantially more total interactions. Originals often see 20–80+ replies plus modest reposts/quotes/bookmarks. Matt’s originals see 5–20 replies on stronger posts; most replies get near-zero extra engagement.
Positive vs. negative tone
X metrics (likes as the main public positive signal) and content patterns show:
•Trent: Engagement is predominantly positive among his audience—celebration of wins, memes (frogs, “bozo pack”), giveaways, and football-season hype. Replies include banter and some betting-community skepticism/fading, but high like-to-reply ratios on originals indicate net-positive reception. He operates in a high-volume sports-betting entertainment niche.19
•Matt: Lower volume overall. Original over/under picks and streak updates get modest supportive engagement from a smaller following. Many posts are confrontational (calling out “losing bettors,” “scammers,” specific accounts including BookitHQ/Trent, Deadspin, etc.), which produce debate-style replies rather than broad positivity. Some older/top posts still only reach low-double-digit likes. Sentiment appears more mixed/polarized due to the adversarial style.24
There is visible public tension between the two (Matt has repeatedly criticized BookitHQ/Trent). Trent’s larger platform and more entertainment-oriented posts produce consistently higher positive-leaning metrics; Matt’s output is higher-volume but lower-impact per post with more combative framing. Averages fluctuate with NFL/MLB season timing and whether a post is original vs. a reply.

Honestly, no. I put research into every trade I discuss, stats matchups, market movement. I’ve never presented this as “throw your money&pray.”
a lot of things in life, alcohol, investing, socials even food can be enjoyed responsibly by most &become unhealthy for some.
