Episode 107 - Summer Opening Weekend

Hey everyone, Vince here, former host of The Gold Card Podcast.  It was a fun run for the Gold Card but I just wanted to drop in and let people know that I've started a new project, a daily show called The League of Legends Betting Podcast. It's available on most major platforms with more on the way. I hope to see you there.   Vince's Twitter: @GelatiLOL Vince's Patreon: Patreon.com/GelatiLOL
