WELCOME TO GAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY, The hilariously dark, true-crime story of "Shinehead," the college student who inadvertently became a sports bookie who franchised his business model to numerous major universities and made millions before graduating, all while staying one step ahead of the university and the police… but not the mob.

It was the late 1980s when Shinehead was a freshman at a major state university in the south. He was a clean-cut kid from a straight-laced family who was dropped into the heart of SEC country, where sports are king and nothing else matters. His background in sports and his scholarship in applied mathematics and statistics were quickly put to work by his fraternity brothers running the house's sports book. And that's when things got out of control....

If GOODFELLAS, CASINO and ROUNDERS had a baby with THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, and that baby joined the Delta Chi fraternity in ANIMAL HOUSE, you would have COLLEGE GAMBLING DAY. Created by comedy writer Kevin Schini, this podcast is a fascinating and hilarious look into this true-life cautionary tale about how Shinehead went from taking a few bets with friends around campus to building an empire of gambling winnings from multiple colleges, to his eventual and unfortunate demise.

GAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY is created by Kevin Schini and produced by Kevin Schini & Shinehead. Editor for all episodes is Joe Pennington. Co-Producer: Chris Grimaldi. Special thanks to Howie Mandel, Rich Thurber, and Alex Mandel.

    • EXPANSION TO TAKING BETS AROUND CAMPUS & TOWN, BAPTISM UNDER FIRE OF THE BOOKIE BIZ
      Jan 14 2026

      We get into Shinehead’s expansion from betting internally with frat brothers to his lightbulb moment of discovering betting patterns with college kids, learning how to exploit them to make as much money as possible. Shinehead and his original partners go into depth about his first step to building his eventual bookie empire by deciding to keep a set of books for anyone wanting to bet outside of the frat house, as well as the many hilarious mistakes he and his crew made as they were learning the business day by day.
