at here on Saturday morning?

17
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:41,679
Speaker 3: All right? I already fired some summer League NBA. If

18
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:44,640

19
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:47,960
my free page Free Picks, you will have a three

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
percent premium play that I sent out to subscribers that's

21
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:54,640
up and avaluable for free. That's in The NBA Summer

22
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,079
league has been really good for us, and I'll get

23
00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:58,719
you another when the line's moved a little bit. So

24
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:01,920
it's on the individual how much risk they want to

25
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,799
take on. But we bet the Indiana Pacers as well.

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,439
We bet them at minus five, four and a half

27
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,319
and four. So uh, that's why you're looking at a

28
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
lot of threes, even a few three and a half

29
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:16,280
still out there as well. But we also took Indiana

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,920
at plus five and plus four. And then I have

31
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,640
a three percent that I sent to subscribers that's also

32
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:25,120
up for three for you guys. Uh, a couple of

33
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,000
baseball plays for you, real quickly. Yesterday before the series started,

34
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,159
I was at the ufc UH taping at Apex, so

35
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,079
I didn't even see this come in. I have my

36
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,400
cousin back in Philly. He handles that stuff when I'm

37
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:40,560
working doing you know, tied up with obligations. Anyway, make

38
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,359
a long story short, he said. A couple of minutes

39
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,680
ace before first pitch, they unloaded through like five six

40
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,560
different accounts, Cincinnati for the series, Cincinnati for the series,

41
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,920
Cincinnati for the series, and that was at minus two

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,680
seventy two eighty two ninety. They were betting Cincinnati for

43
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,560
the series. Well, lo and behold, Cincinnati loses Game one

44
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400
to Colorado. So if they're gonna hit that series bet,

45
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:03,000
they're gonna have to win today. They're gonna have that

46
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,920
cash with Cincinnati today and cash with Cincinnati tomorrow. Or

47
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,719
that's a heavy chalky play that will go down. And

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,199
usually those late plays do really well. It's mostly based

49
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,039
on late information or you know, waiting till the limits

50
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,960
get a lot higher to unload. And finally a couple

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,080
of baseball plays for you guys. Again, it's really early.

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280
It's only eight o'clock out here on the East Coast.

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,240
The Canadians don't bet till about ten am. They wait

54
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:33,680
till more of the off screen outs offer higher limits

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,919
before they share their stuff. But here's a couple of

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,319
the overninth in some of the early stuff this morning.

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,439
Nine to fifty three Dodgers minus one, forty nine to

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,479
seventy Athletics plus one thirty nine, seventy one Cubbies plus

59
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:53,479
one forty five, nine seventy six Baltimore minus one sixty,

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,520
and then nine to fifty seven Washington Milwaukee over eight

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,719
and a half up to minus one thirty. A couple

62
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,000
sides of total for you, some NBA action series bet

63
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:07,199
to keep your eye on, and of course there's a

64
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:11,000

67
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:20,039
Speaker 2: Live later today and Johnny tell everybody about the steam Room.

68
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,599

69
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:23,879

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,719
I got to talk to Kisa for a while, covered

78
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,400
a lot of the three eighteen fights. Getting a fighter's

79
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:55,199
perspective was absolutely priceless. It's so I love going early

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,319
to make up because there's always fighters around there and

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000
because I'm the betting guy, they always want to talk gambling.

82
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,240
They just love it. So I get to talk a

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,400
lot of ask them a lot about the fights and

84

100

Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're one of my favorite people. Wait, just

111
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,839
talk man. Tell Johnny that all the time. I even

112
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,800
watch your stuff. I love watching your stuff. So I'm

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,879
appreciate that. Thank you for mention in the blackjack course

114
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,160
because the truth is, I swear to you, Steve, I've

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
gotten I told Johnny you need to send everyone that

116
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,040
took that course, you need to send them an email

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,720
and just ask them to please write what they thought,

118
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:39,160
because I got so many dude, I say it, I

119
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,160
get goosebumps. So many guys. I'd say thirty percent of

120
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800
that class has already reached out to me again like

121
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:50,399
DM me saying dude, thank you, asking a question about blackjack,

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,279
saying like they've made money using it. It's awesome watching

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,480
these guys. They're right where I was right when I

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
learned the system, got the blueprint in my hands, and

125
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,079
now I got to go out there and put it

126
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,879
the work, and they're going through those trials right now,

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,439
because again it's just like with sports betting. You may

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,439
have winning information, but as we all know from wager talk,

129
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:13,879
if you don't use it correctly, it's really not going

130
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,680
to help you long term. It may help you in

131
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,360
the short term if you know you're hot, you get

132
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,519
a winner, but if you're gonna make money long term

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
and do it over and over and over again, you know,

134
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,399
you got to be able to come have those disciplines

135
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,079
that are needed, and they're going through that right now.

136
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,920
A lot of guys I saw some of the dms

137
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,959
that they send their questions like that where they got

138
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:35,199
to fight those demons off where you know they know

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,959
they have the best of it because they know exactly

140
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:38,480
what their edge is. They're like, dude, I had a

141
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,800
big edge and I still lost. And that's gambling. Short term,

142
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,680
you know that there's a lot of randomness involved. So yeah,

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,560
they're giving that out. If you just sign up for

144
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,839
the year with football coming, it's a great deal and

145
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,000
you'll have a skill set for life. Man. Honestly, the

146
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Blackjack Corse is the thing I'm most proud of. I

147
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,160
love the results long term at wager talk. But the

148
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,480
blackjack course is something anyone could learn and go off

149
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120
and do whatever they want with it. And yeah, I

150
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,079
hope somebody eventually does like crazy damage and I hear

151
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,079
about it and they started it from that course.

152
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: That would be they're gonna link it back to you,

153
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,399
and you're gonna be in trouble. The casinos are docked

154
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,759
at your front door wanting their refunds.

155
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:18,439
Speaker 2: Blackjacks still beatable. You know a lot of people think

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,199
it's not because of the countermeasures.

157
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:21,959
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this said. If you don't want

158
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:23,759
to say why on live TV, don't say it. But

159
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,199
if I owned a casino, I wouldn't have a single

160
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,639
dealer shuffling up anymore. I'd have automatic shuffle machines. Why

161
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,199
don't they all do that by now? There's less downtime.

162
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,519
You probably can't count if they do that, correct, I mean,

163
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,160
what's the reason they're not doing that?

164
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the the the automatic shuffle machines, we're okay with.

165
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,680
It's the continuous shuffle machines. We can't beat the ones

166
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680
that you see that are out there now on the

167
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,199
casino floor, especially on the floor. They can't put them

168
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:52,800
in the high limit yet, because those guys that play

169
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:55,920
high limit, they've been playing blackjack enough to know when

170
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240
rules like that get altered, it's in their detriment. They

171
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,680
may not be able to you the exact percentages, they

172
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480
may not be able to tell you exactly how it's

173
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,079
hurting them, but they know it's hurting them, so they

174
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,800
won't go there. And there's other competition that will deal

175
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:11,439
them a fair game. And with high rollers, you don't

176
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:13,480
want to risk that. That's why in the high limit

177
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:17,000
pits you never see those continuous shuffles. You'll see automatic

178
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240
shuffle because that saves times. Like you said, takes them

179
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,160
a while in to shuffle, and the machine's going to

180
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,040
even do it better where you won't be able to

181
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,399
get clumps. There's some teams out there that they follow clumps.

182
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,879
I could explain that you know the exactly you know,

183
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,559
you know you gambling, you get it, and they track cards.

184
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,039
The automatic stops that from happening. But it's the continuous

185
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,960
shuffle that eliminates the card counters because you know there's

186
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480
nothing to count. They're just after they clear up there

187
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:47,240
just keeps stuffing the cards back in the random It's

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,840
like just shuffling up continuously, so you don't know what

189
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,120
deck you're in, how many decks you're playing, or anything

190
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,679
like that. That's not beatable. Automatic shuffle, that's fine, but

191
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,279
it's a continuous suffle that I agree. If I had it,

192
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,080
I do the exact time, same thing. I do the

193
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,000
exact same thing, Steve. And just like with the sports betting,

194
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,399
why are they charging one oh nine s one to fifteen's,

195
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,559
one to seventeens instead of discounts Because people are still

196
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,480
betting it, right, but they're still sharp guys like yourself

197
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,799
that aren't going to bet into those lines that are

198
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,759
gonna hunt down minus one tens they do it, won't lay

199
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:20,200
those minus one twelves to thirteen to fifteens because they

200
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,559
know it's detrimental to thom And that's why, fortunately it

201
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:27,200
remains beatable to this day because of competition. The market

202
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,440
forces blackjack to stay beatable for the time being.

203
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: Well, and the best sports betting in the country is

204
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,320
still in Nevada, you know. And they said back to

205
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,559
the nineteen seventies when Atlantic City was opening, everyone thought

206
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,559
that was gonna be the death of Las Vegas Point,

207
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,000
and all it did was make it stronger because it

208
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120
was the minor league version of Las Vegas, and people

209
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:47,080
want the real deal and we're seeing that with the

210
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,919
sports betting. I didn't think of until you just said

211
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:51,960
the minus one fifteen, the minus the thirty cent lines

212
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:53,519
of the twenty four cent lines.

213
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:55,919
Speaker 2: Hey, since about a week ago.

214
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: I saw you and Andy talk about it before I

215
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,440
came on last Thursday. Now that we've had another week

216
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,960
to kind of think about all these changes that are coming,

217
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,159
maybe the professional gamblers, any update from your thoughts on that.

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the initial panic, like anything, and we

219
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,559
see it the overreaction. It's kind of like when we

220
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,919
see bad weather in football and the total starts getting

221
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:17,639
bet under, you know, and then the betters keep betting

222
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:19,720
it even though they already adjusted three or four points

223
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,679
because they're seeing snow, and you know, it's just an overreaction,

224
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,080
And I thought, I think that's what happened. I think

225
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,440
it's an overreaction by the betters. But it is really

226
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,440
going to be a detriment to those that do use

227
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,879
on screen books that do report there's wins and losses,

228
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Like if you're scalping, you have to have some books

229
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,919
that are on screen. So you could get paid. You

230
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,039
may be betting against Pinnacles line or against Chris's line

231
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,639
or someone's line, but you need the other side to scalp.

232
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:52,159
So someone has to be on the other side. And

233
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,360
if that other side is an on screen book, that's

234
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,039
going to get reported. That's where that problem comes in.

235
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,919
The guys that are forced to bet on screen, they're

236
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,840
going to run into some tax problems. Guys like myself

237
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,840
that do ninety plus percent off screen, it's the same game.

238
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,600
It's the same game. It's on us their report what

239
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,879
we do. It's on them to uncover it when it's

240
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,559
not documented. So it's the same cat and mouse game.

241
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:16,799
Speaker 4: Man.

242
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: Of course, they're trying to find take money any possible

243
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,039
ways they can by taxing us, but there's always ways

244
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,120
around it. And if you're at that high level of

245
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:27,559
betting and you have the kind of bankroll where you're

246
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,919
in betting syndicates and these guys that are talking about

247
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,120
all this stuff, and you don't have a good accountant,

248
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:34,919
it just don't add up to me how you're making

249
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,919
six figures a year betting sports and you don't have

250
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:38,639
a decent accountant that could save you money at the

251
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,679
tax window. So hire a good accountant. That's why you

252
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,639
make a lot of money, so they could do their job.

253
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,600
Hire a good lawyer and let them handle that. That'll

254
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:50,639
play out itself. Again. I'm sure there's accountants out there

255
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,960
for high level gamblers that are already letting them know

256
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:57,519
how to get through this. There's always loopholes in tax code.

257
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,879
You just got to find the right guy who understands

258
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,080
it and don't overreact. I overreacted myself. I panicked myself.

259
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,039
But our jobs are safe and secure. There's always ways

260
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,720
around being overtaxed, just like what every other thing in

261
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:13,679
life that we deal with.

262
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because I mean, obviously I thought it was.

263
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:18,360
It was strange news and it was big news at

264
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,639
the time.

265
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: But I agree with you.

266
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: It always seems like it seems worse in the first

267
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,360
forty eight hours and then people start realizing, well, they

268
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,960
cut one thing here, but they give you an ad

269
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,559
back here. And cat and mouse, I mean, sports betting

270
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,240
as a professional is a cat and mouse game.

271
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: It is it is.

272
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:34,799
Speaker 3: I think it's fair, Steve. I'm sorry, like I just

273
00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:37,440
think it's fair, maybe because I'm just old school and

274
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,200
this is what I've been used to like, you're trying

275
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,600
to get over on them, they're trying to get over

276
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:43,919
on you. It's fair, it's fair.

277
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but I think I think tax

278
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
law is a cat and mouse game too, sure what

279
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,279
it is, but you're right, it's always changing and the

280
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:53,799
winners still win long term and they find ways to win.

281
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:57,000
And it's the same thing with the tax code. But yeah,

282
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:59,000
it's interesting to see how things have maybe cooled down

283
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,080
a little bit in the last couple.

284
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: Just just to put it in perspective. I bumped into

285
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,440
a guy out here, not going to say his name,

286
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,279
high profile guy who as far as a gambling twitter goes,

287
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,240
and he's the game running off to me like in

288
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,240
a panic, like dude, what are we going to do?

289
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:16,600
And this and that, and like panicing like man, if

290
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,480
we make a living anymore like all this stuff. I'm

291
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,840
thinking to myself, Bro, you don't make your living betting

292
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,240
like it, so you're gonna be fine, I'm thinking to myself.

293
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,159
And then I had to meet the guy that's my

294
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,039
main contact for like one of the bigger betting syndicates,

295
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,639
and I'm like, what do you think of this new law?

296
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,039
And he's like who cares doesn't change anything for us.

297
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,759
Like these guys are been millions of dollars a day

298
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:40,120
and they could care less. And this guy's barely been

299
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,879
twenty by dollars parlays and he's having he's getting hysterical.

300
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:45,000
Probably did a video after he bumped into me to

301
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,159
let people know about how detrimental or how it isn't

302
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,919
you know, but that's what's happening. It's just something else

303
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:55,240
to talk about. But those guys like that that really

304
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,960
make their living betting sports, we're finding ways around it.

305
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
We always had. And if you made money last year

306
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:03,159
you got taxed, you're just going to get taxed again

307
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,639
this year. Sit down with your account and figure it out.

308
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,639
You'll be just fine. That's how I figure.

309
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:10,919
Speaker 1: And history really does repeat itself. It doesn't always repeat itself,

310
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:13,679
but it rhymes. Nineteen years ago, two thousand and six,

311
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,440
the Kyle Bill is when Pinnacle went off for everybody,

312
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,960
and that was an eleventh hour add on, just like

313
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:22,279
this was in a port security bill back in two

314
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,639
thousand and six, a port security bill they had an

315
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,919
internet betting clause like the two hundred and eleventh page

316
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:31,159
in the eleventh hours. So wow, We've seen this before.

317
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,320
You know, history repeats itself, and obviously pinnacles still around,

318
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,159
but it's been a different game. But as you said,

319
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,000
the pros still found a way to play with all

320
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,960
of those books and make a living. But yeah, google

321
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,000
the Kyle bill, the Kyle admittment.

322
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:45,919
Speaker 3: To Will I will.

323
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: The difference on this one, Johnny, That which kind of

324
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,039
irritates me is that no one, at least last week

325
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,360
when I checked, I could not find who was behind

326
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,399
this add on, which is a little irritating. At least

327
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,399
man up the Hey, I'm the one that wants to

328
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,879
cut the losses down to ninety percent, and it's and nameless,

329
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,399
which I thought was very shady. W who the senators

330
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,399
or congressman there were? Well, yeah, the Senate's the one

331
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,759
that added this last week, And unlike nineteen years ago,

332
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,519
Senator Kyle was an adamant anti gambling guy from Arizona.

333
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: So hey, at.

334
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: Least he was consistent, right, But yeah, this one was

335
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:20,879
kind of a shadowy overnight add on that nobody.

336
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:22,879
Speaker 2: Took credit for, which bothers me a little bit.

337
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: And you're talking about the United States government like they're

338
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:29,480
not all that that our irs isn't all that efficient, dude.

339
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: Like no, And I think Dave Mason summed it up

340
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:33,679
right when Andy asked him after your segment.

341
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: You know, these politicians don't know what they're doing at all.

342
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,799
Speaker 1: They're told this will add an extra billion dollars to revenue,

343
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:42,440
but they don't realize the side effects of everything. It's gonna,

344
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:45,600
you know, crush some game, just gonna push everything illegal

345
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,440
and underground again.

346
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,879
Speaker 2: That's it, bottom line, That's what.

347
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,919
Speaker 3: Happened to forced to do it that way anyway for

348
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,039
local books.

349
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,279
Speaker 2: It's just like taxing fifty cents on every way.

350
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Tron Illinois's just going to make people play offshore and

351
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:59,799
with a rookie, so it's not changing anything, and it's

352
00:15:59,879 --> 00:16:02,440
like revenue and less income for the states.

353
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,519
Speaker 2: And for them to text.

354
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: Exactly, Johnny the Greek, you got about an hour to

366
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,120
and all the guys that are up now watching this.

367
00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:36,240
I know it's a little slow with summer football's just

368
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,559
around the corner, but you can continue taking advantage. Again,

369
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720
there's always that betting market there, so it doesn't have

370
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:45,120
to be football season or even like NB all that

371
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:47,639
stuff going on to make some money. The betting lines

372
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:50,360
are up, so find those inefficiencies. Hope you guys do

373
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,080
some damage. And again thanks for having me.

374
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,639
Speaker 1: Great to see him hit back at noon Eastern Monday,

375
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:56,960
every day on wager Talk today Monday through Friday at

376
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,519
noon Easter and once again, his steamer room is free

377
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,000
today at twelve thirty Eastern. Check that out here at

378
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:06,039
wager talk dot com. Johnny the Greek all right, started

379
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,359
at Las Vegas. We are going around the world today

380
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,240
to say the least. We're gonna have Tokyo Brandon next,

381
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,079
and we're gonna have Jesse Schul from Thailand and then

382
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,359
come back to Las Vegas for Teddy Covers. So we

383
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359
are stamping the passports. So let's talk some baseball though,

384
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,200
because it's a big baseball Saturday. Tokyo Brandon, former MLB scout,

385
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,480
Major League Baseball expert, Japanese baseball expert. It's in his name,

386
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,799
Tokyo Little Korean baseball at times as well. How has

387
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,759
the baseball season been going for you? Have you noticed

388
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:34,880
anything different this year from years past? Or is it

389
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,240
kind of the same old, samele.

390
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. People call this the dog days of summer, but

391
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:41,519
it's not for me. I went three and oho in

392
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,240
baseball yesterday. I'm AU plus one hundred and five units

393
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,400
in twenty twenty five, so I'm back to number one.

394
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:52,119
So feeling good and MLB is mostly the reason for that.

395
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Korean baseball is on a hiatus right now. They're in

396
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,680
the All Star break. Japanese baseball is going well. I

397
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,640
went one to oher in Ja Benese baseball, three and

398
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,200
oh in MLB, so yeah, it was a good day

399
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:07,200
and things are going quite well. As a matter of fact,

400
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,039
after this show at You and Eastern, I'm going to

401
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:13,000
be doing my own my own show. I'm gonna basically

402
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,319
open up my spreadsheets and show people how I cap

403
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,519
games for about an hour, so that'll be fun.

404
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: About an hour's an understatement, Brandon, because I last week

405
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,519
did some baseball videos and I was logging into check

406
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:24,880
out your show on the replay and you were still

407
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,720
going live, and I heard you say you're up almost

408
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:29,880
at three am Eastern. It was almost a two hour

409
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,960
show because I think you basically the chat was saying

410
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,839
they wanted more. You went over I think every game

411
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,000
on the board last Saturday.

412
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: So it's been well received.

413
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: And once again that's why I've here at noon Eastern,

414
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,640
so you can check that out about forty minutes.

415
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 5: Yep, yep. Yeah. And it's kind of a habit of mine.

416
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,319
I like this swig fireball while I'm doing my capping,

417
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,799
but I was told not to, So sorry, guys, no

418
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,880
fireball today.

419
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: Hold not to this like the nineteen eighties where you

420
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240
can't have liquor ads on show anymore, remember you come back,

421
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:01,200
We're growing up. You couldn't have a liquor ad. You

422
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,920
could have cigarette ads, but not liquor ads.

423
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: Now it's the opposite. Examt lickerads.

424
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,319
Speaker 1: You can't have cigarette ads anymore, so I smoke a

425
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,920
Marlborough see if that's all right instead of the fireball.

426
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:13,039
Speaker 5: How old are you, by the way, Steve, I'm fifty four.

427
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: How old are you fifty one?

428
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: Actually? Yeah, we've both been around to low so I've

429
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,880
started in nineteen ninety six. I've been handicap. I've been

430
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359
a professional nicaperit of the twenty nine years this August,

431
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,319
more than half of my life. It's pretty insane when

432
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:26,119
we talk about it.

433
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 5: I was doing scouting, but I'm using basically the same

434
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,680
systems and spreadsheets that I used when I was a

435
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,839
scout to do my capping, So it's it's a smooth transition.

436
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,799
I haven't been doing it quite as long as you.

437
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,079
And you are the video master at wager Talk. Everyone

438
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,440
envies how you make videos. I wish I could do

439
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,880
them like you, but I'm working on it.

440
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know, I'd never did a single video

441
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,720
TV show until well, I did a couple maybe before,

442
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,759
but when I switched over to wager Talking twenty twenty

443
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,279
after the shutdown, went from doing radio for twenty years

444
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,720
to video. And it is a change, but you get

445
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:01,519
used to it and it's been a good move.

446
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,759
Speaker 2: To say the least. So a couple game. By the way,

447
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:04,920
live chat ask away.

448
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: He's going to do this in his show as well,

449
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,039
in forty minutes, so you don't have to worry about

450
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:10,640
blushing it and getting them all in now. But one

451
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,279
team I want to talk to you about to Seattle

452
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:15,039
Detroit game. I mean, Seattle exploded last night for twelve runs.

453
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,319
Cal Raley his eighth multiple home run game this season.

454
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:21,920
He's already tied the Mariner record. Griffy did it in

455
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,119
ninety seven. He took a whole season to do it.

456
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,160
I believe he tied Jackson from nineteen sixty nine for

457
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,440
the fastest before the All Star break with eight multiple

458
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,759
games I think he said three Grand slams already this year.

459
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,279
This is a guy hardly anybody could even have named

460
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,039
a year ago. I'd never even heard of him until

461
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,680
a couple of years ago. What's going on with this?

462
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:43,440
I mean, how did he get so good so fast

463
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,920
the last couple of years? Any thoughts? Yeah, I don't

464
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,960
want to say maguire social, I'm not saying that, but

465
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:48,880
I'm curious.

466
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, might want to test that guy. Pretty good catcher, though, very.

467
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:54,279
Speaker 2: Good catcher from when I hear him as well.

468
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:55,799
Speaker 1: Right, he's one of the better catchers in the league

469
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:57,559
as well defensively a pretty good catcher.

470
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,319
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the Dodgers have a good catcher,

471
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,119
Seattle has a good catcher. There's there's very few catchers

472
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,559
who can actually contribute to the lineup. He's definitely one

473
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,279
of them. And it's a very very very good quantity.

474
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:11,640
You know, he's been decent, but he's never been like this,

475
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:16,599
so yeah, it's surprising for everyone. But regarding the game today,

476
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,480
A Detroit that's another team that actually I was not

477
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,880
real high on when the season started. But man, I

478
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,559
call them the best mediocre team I've ever seen.

479
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: But all the.

480
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 5: Tiger fans are gonna get in and up or about that,

481
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:35,240
But no, they're coached really well. They have the best

482
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:38,680
pitcher in Major League Baseball, and then they have some

483
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:41,319
backup guys who can do well, such as the one

484
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:45,599
who's going today. In case mys, so I do my rankings,

485
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,279
I ranked my starting pitchers on a curve of thirty

486
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:51,759
out of two hundred guys, and Kirby I have him

487
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,119
ranked ten, and mys I have him ranked eight. So

488
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,440
we got two really good starters going today, and Detroit's

489
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,319
bullpen has been a problem recently. They're kind of slipping

490
00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:04,720
right now, So I give Seattle a slight advantage today.

491
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,680
And I know everyone's going to say you're a Detroit

492
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,519
Tiger hater. I'm not. It doesn't mean I'm going to

493
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:12,480
bet Seattle, but it means I'm probably not going to

494
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,799
bet Detroit. One thing that I found from this game

495
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:20,240
quite interesting was George Kirby's outs recorded was eighteen and

496
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,640
a half. So if you don't know what that means,

497
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,519
eighteen is six innings, so you divide the outs by

498
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:28,880
three to get the inning, So eighteen and six innings.

499
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,960
So the book is saying Kirby's going to get an

500
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,039
out in the seventh inning, and I don't. I'm projecting

501
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,599
him at sixteen point nine. I don't see him getting

502
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,039
it out in the seventh innings. So if I'm going

503
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,559
to bet something, I'll look a little deeper into Kirby's

504
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,119
eighteen and a half under outs recorded here they also

505
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,960
have his strikeouts at five and a half and I'm

506
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,160
all right four and a half and I'm projecting him

507
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,799
at five and a half. So maybe over on the

508
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,759
strikeouts under on the outs, but I'll need to research

509
00:22:57,799 --> 00:22:58,480
it a little more.

510
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good little heads too, right, because if

511
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,640
he has a monster game and he don't win the

512
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,960
seven inning bet, then he's going to almost certainly get

513
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,920
the strikeout bet. He could definitely win both of them,

514
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,400
but it's hard to probably it's hard to probably lose

515
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:10,880
both of them.

516
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: So that's a one in one, two and zero bet,

517
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:13,839
right there.

518
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: I like that, And yeah, you tell me anybody's going

519
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,759
into the seventh inning, I'm taking under nowadays. I mean,

520
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:20,680
for the most part, that's very rare.

521
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 5: For the most part, unless it's Wheeler or one of

522
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,039
those iron men.

523
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: There's a couple mack Hudson has a question in the

524
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,319
chats Mac asked earlier today and a couple of minutes

525
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,319
ago Tokyo Brandon, Any Wheeler props look.

526
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: Good today from mack Hudson. So we'll talk about Wheeler.

527
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, actually I answered him in the chat while Gianni

528
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,880
was talking. But Wheeler is eighteen and a half now.

529
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,319
He's one of the few exceptions of the guys that

530
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,279
I will want to go over eighteen and a half,

531
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,160
meaning he records an out in the seventh inning, and

532
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,440
there's a good reason for that. He generally goes quite deep.

533
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,039
I'm projecting him at twenty one outs here, and it's

534
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:02,440
I don't project anyone at that. He's going against the

535
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:06,680
decent lineup, but they're actually faltering quite badly right now.

536
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,000
The Padres, they have a lot of talent, but they're

537
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:11,440
not showing it. And if you look at Wheeler's last

538
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,519
few starts, he went nine inning, eight inning, he had

539
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,519
a six and a five and a six and a six,

540
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,079
so he six is eighteen, right, So he would lose

541
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,680
that prop if if we bet it. But I think

542
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,680
today he's going to handle San Diego, and if you

543
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,599
look at his career stats against them, I'm pretty good,

544
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,599
So I think he'll go over eighteen and get one

545
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,160
out in the seventh innings today.

546
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: So Matt Cutson also has got another question which kind

547
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,839
of hits home for me. It's about the Reds, because

548
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,480
I had the Red last night minus one of that

549
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:44,880
run line. I love fading the Rockies bad teams with

550
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,799
the run line didn't work out, but they lost out right,

551
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,039
So the run line was actually a decent play there,

552
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:50,559
even though I lost it because I didn't lose a

553
00:24:50,599 --> 00:24:54,519
huge juice. But Max, asking about the Reds money line

554
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:57,640
rollover today, he said he's got it and just bigger picture,

555
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,640
I would ask you, do you ever find a reason

556
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,119
to back team like the Rockies or the White Sox.

557
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,160
You're having a great baseball season. You always have great

558
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,640
baseball seasons. Do bad teams like that make your card

559
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,839
or do you just avoid them or look to fade them?

560
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:11,799
Speaker 5: Sometimes?

561
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: I will?

562
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean, the White Socks are not I like. I

563
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,160
like a team like the White Sox because they're not

564
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,039
as bad as everyone.

565
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,039
Speaker 2: A lot of one run losses this year, a lot

566
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:20,200
of close losses.

567
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. And the Washington Nationals are another one like that.

568
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,519
So the books do not like the Washington Nationals. But

569
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,720
you know, you can bet their team total and make

570
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,920
some good money because they got some smashers in there,

571
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,079
they got wood, they got Abrams, they can do some damage.

572
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,200
And the White Socks are another team that can put

573
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,519
runs up and the book generally will slight them. But

574
00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:45,519
the Rockies they are historically bad, so there's absolutely no

575
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,960
way I would bet the Rockies. Uh, with my money.

576
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,759
I might do it with your money, Steve, because you

577
00:25:50,839 --> 00:25:54,880
got a lot of it, but I'm not betting Rockies

578
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,960
with my money. But yeah, there are some some some

579
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,480
historically or how shall I say, they have a bad

580
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:07,519
team stigma attached to them, but they're actually performing better

581
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:11,039
than the book thinks. Washington is one, the White Sox

582
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,319
is another, and the Angels is another. The Angels are

583
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,880
actually smashing it really good right now. So those are

584
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,119
three teams you can take advantage of because the books

585
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,319
really don't like them.

586
00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny when I said Rockies, I almost didn't

587
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,559
say White Sox with him, cause I agree with you.

588
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,599
I think the White Sox were terrible last year eleven.

589
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,400
I almost feel like they're starting to trend back up

590
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,279
from that bottom. They may be a bottom now. When

591
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,000
I last checked about a week ago, they were five

592
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:37,039
and twenty in games decided by one run. And yes,

593
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,519
bad teams are going to lose more one run games

594
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:41,240
or you know, mediocre, but they have a mediocre bullpen.

595
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,640
They don't have a horrendously bad bullpen this year, so

596
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,599
there is some random variants there. And I was big

597
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,759
on my Washington Nationals this year coming in. They had

598
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:51,759
that one and six start, could have been better at

599
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:54,160
the start, they were competitive, they just kind of seem

600
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:56,160
to find ways to lose games this year. So I

601
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,119
do think that's another team that's gonna start trending up,

602
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,720
because boy was at Soto deal a good one for them.

603
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:05,279
You know, there's talks Brandon thought this morning about could

604
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,680
the Pirates possibly trade schemes, which I don't think will happen,

605
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,400
but I was thinking, if you can get four or

606
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,839
five future like major leaguers like the Nationals did I

607
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,200
don't know, I mean, are the Pirates close enough to

608
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,559
get good enough to benefit from having Skiings the next

609
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:21,160
couple of years.

610
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 5: The thing about the Pirates is they don't care about winning.

611
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,960
They just care about having a team. So there are

612
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,039
teams in Major League Baseball they absolutely don't care if

613
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,200
they win or not. They just care about playing the

614
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,960
games and having a baseball team, and the Pirates are

615
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,799
one of those teams. Unfortunately, sorry for Pirates fans, but

616
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:44,799
they're never going to sniffle World Series because they don't care, so.

617
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: They don't spend.

618
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:46,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of get where you're going with that,

619
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:49,839
because my first thought was they can't afford to probably

620
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,000
keep Skiings whatever three years from now, whenever it's contracts up.

621
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:55,160
I don't know what the deal is. I don't see

622
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,599
any realm of possibility. They're going to keep them, right,

623
00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:00,839
so why not I load up up now, right and

624
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,519
trying to maybe catch lighting in the bottle with five prospects.

625
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:06,279
Speaker 2: But then you're gonna lose those guys too, So yeah, I.

626
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,039
Speaker 5: Would absolutely revolt. Can you believe the guy with that

627
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,920
talent is four wins and eight losses and and gets

628
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,119
basically one or no runs of run supports?

629
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: Last night he's lost, He's oh and three. His last

630
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,480
three starts, he's pitching all for right oh and three.

631
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
The most meaningless stat in all his sports is one

632
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:23,759
last record, if you know, and he has a one

633
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:25,119
point seven to seven e r A.

634
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: I think during that.

635
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,759
Speaker 1: Span, Yeah, wins losses might be the most meaningless sat

636
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:30,920
ever in the history of baseball.

637
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: It'd be.

638
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,559
Speaker 5: But he gets to go home to Levy Dunn, so

639
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,559
that's not so bad.

640
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: And he gets to live in Pittsburgh at least he's

641
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:38,720
there during the summer months. I would hope he heads

642
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:41,240
out during the winter. I've been to Pittsburgh numerous times.

643
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,880
I got a lot of Pittsburgh friends, So I say

644
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,839
that tongue in chic This might be an alias in

645
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,200
the chat swaggy with no legs, swag legs I've seen.

646
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: Let me give you.

647
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:54,359
Speaker 5: Let me give you a little gambler's tip, though, if

648
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,880
you if we're gonna talk about huge underdogs and terrible teams,

649
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,759
one way that you can bet the redst is you

650
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:03,680
don't want to You don't want to bet minus three

651
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:06,640
ten obviously, but you can take their picture to win

652
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,240
the game. So to win a game, the picture has

653
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:11,799
to go five innings, the team has to be winning

654
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:14,279
when he leaves the game, and the bullpen has to

655
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:16,880
hold the least you have to You have to meet

656
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,119
these three criteria, but you'll get really good odds for it.

657
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,079
I haven't checked Singers to win the game prop today,

658
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:26,880
but I imagine it's like minus one ten or something

659
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,839
like that. So that's one way you can bet huge

660
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,119
favorites if you're in love with them and you really

661
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,359
want to fade the Rocky. The Rockies are what sixteen

662
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,440
and what are they eleven and thirty six on the

663
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,799
road or something. I mean, they're not gonna win. Singers

664
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:43,839
not a great picture, but he can go five innings

665
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,720
and the Reds can put up some runs on some

666
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,839
guy named Blaylock. So yeah, that would be one way

667
00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:52,039
that you can approach a heavy, heavy favorite.

668
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,359
Speaker 1: Well, that's what fascinates me about the Rockies is they've

669
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,720
got the best offensive park in the history of Major

670
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:59,519
League Baseball, and they still have terrible tombers. But yeah,

671
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:01,240
you got to take their home numbers, and when you

672
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,599
look at their road numbers, they're atrocious. I mean earlier

673
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:06,640
this year they were like averaging less than two runs

674
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,759
a game, bet in the one nineties in all road games.

675
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:11,880
I mean that's just historically bad. Yeah, there's lots of

676
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,359
ways you can cut that down. I love the run

677
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680
line because bad teams usually lose by margin, the same

678
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,759
reason I've used the Dodgers for years. On the run line,

679
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:20,680
you don't lay the two or three dollars, You lay

680
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,079
the minus one and a half. Get it down to

681
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:24,680
minus one fifty, minus one forty, even minus one ten.

682
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:27,920
Most good teams, like the Yankees and Dodgers, when they win,

683
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,039
they win by margin. And yes, you're gonna have occasional

684
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,720
one run games, but you're cutting the juice in half

685
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:34,680
every time, and it just it adds up in the

686
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:35,160
long n.

687
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: And if the big favorite team is at home, you're

688
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,319
gonna get extra good price for that because they're bat

689
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:43,400
eight innings if they're winning the games.

690
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: So that's something you do too.

691
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: You know everyone's always like never play home teams minus

692
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,720
one and a half. Well, it's factored in. The juice

693
00:30:50,759 --> 00:30:52,839
is like half as much then as they're on the road.

694
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,759
So there again, if you want to win for just

695
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:56,519
that day, if you got to like double your bank

696
00:30:56,599 --> 00:30:59,039
roll tonight only or you're going to be evicted, then

697
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:00,599
you probably don't do it. But if you're taking a

698
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,119
long term of investment approach, like you know Brandon doesn't

699
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,720
like I do, then you want that value day after day.

700
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: On the way out here.

701
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: Though, let me add swagging mcnoleg says, Cubs line up

702
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,559
today sucks. Cubs are an interesting team because you talked

703
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:17,720
about the Tigers. The other best run differential in all

704
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,519
of baseball this year, Chicago. They're almost double what the

705
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:22,599
Dodgers and Phillies are right now in the National League

706
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:25,480
as far as run differential positive, you know, plus runs

707
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,920
are they for real first of all?

708
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: And what are your thoughts in the game today?

709
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: They absolutely are for real, and we have two really

710
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,720
good pictures on the mount today, and I'm Boyd does,

711
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,359
a guy who I wasn't really enamored with when he

712
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,000
was at Detroit back when, but this season he's having

713
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:46,279
a great season. As a matter of fact, on that

714
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:50,480
previously aforementioned curve of thirty, I have him ranked six,

715
00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,160
where I have Max Freed ranked eight. So these are

716
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:59,200
two really top notch pitchers, two struggling bullpens, but we

717
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:02,039
have two really strong lineups. So this seems like a

718
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:05,160
gridlock to me when I looked at the individual props.

719
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:10,279
Max Freed over seventeen and a half outs, Will he

720
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:13,880
finish six innings? I think he could. I haven't bet

721
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,359
that yet. And then let's see, we got Matthew Boyd's

722
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,799
over fifteen and a half, So will he get one

723
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480
out in the sixth inning? Yeah, I think he can.

724
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,359
So those are two things to consider. I haven't pulled

725
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:28,079
the trigger yet.

726
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:30,519
Speaker 1: By the way, there's a lot of support to bring

727
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:32,359
the fireball back, so you can see if it happens

728
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,200
here in about thirty minutes. Because I'm looking at the

729
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,279
live chat now, David Haviley's calling it a our party foul,

730
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:38,839
and he says that he wants.

731
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 5: I would love to, but he.

732
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: Wants to speak to the manager. He said, So, David,

733
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,279
the manager's in.

734
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: The manager is in the chat.

735
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,279
Speaker 2: He might be in the live chat. The manager has

736
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:49,319
been done to come in the live chat. They want

737
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:49,599
to Paull.

738
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: They want to know if they can at least vote

739
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,400
on this, Brandon, So maybe you can figure out how

740
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,720
they add to pall the stream yard here when you

741
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,880
do it at noon Eastern.

742
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 5: That's above my above my pay grade.

743
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,799
Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, I think the managers doing that

744
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:00,559
a favor. You don't need no fire ball in your

745
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:02,279
belly at two am Tokyo too.

746
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,319
Speaker 2: You trying to get to bed.

747
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 5: I do it anyway, so I might as well do

748
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:07,119
it on screen.

749
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:11,319
Speaker 1: You need to just disappear for a second, just every

750
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:12,720
time you pop back on the screen.

751
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to lean over like this and do

752
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:18,039
it instead of showing people. But that's okay, that's fine

753
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:20,440
with me. But yeah, catch me in about a half

754
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,079
an hour after this show, guys.

755
00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask you one final question real quick.

756
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,440
I want to say the other games for your live show.

757
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:27,720
But something they also pointed out in the in the

758
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,079
chat was that the Cubs have struggled against left handers

759
00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:33,240
this year. Do you factor in righty versus left The

760
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,799
whole left handed starters stat is kind of useless because

761
00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:38,200
that's maybe four or five innings of the game. But

762
00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:40,000
you can dig deeper and see how a team has

763
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,079
done against all left handed pitchers or right handed pictures.

764
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,720
Of course, you got to make sure that lineup is

765
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880
still in there today, so you know guys aren't sitting.

766
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,359
But do you even bother handicapping that or there's just

767
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,279
too much random variance in your opinion?

768
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,359
Speaker 5: Nope? What what difference does it make how they hit

769
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,680
against other left handers? I care how they hit against

770
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:57,319
That's a great point.

771
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point.

772
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, Why would you look at how they hit

773
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:05,640
against other guys? I mean, who cares? Doesn't know?

774
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,079
Speaker 1: That's great, fantastic in baseball. You're a former MLB scout,

775
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:11,079
and I know a lot of people use that their handicapping.

776
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:13,480
I'll talk about it in videos. I don't really mix

777
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:15,960
it in with my numbers either. It's one of those

778
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,519
things that kind of makes for good talking points. But

779
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:20,679
that's interesting. So you do not use the right handed

780
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,199
left handed stuff at all in your mix.

781
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. I don't care how they pitch or

782
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,719
how they hit against Casey Mayes if they're facing Max

783
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,199
Freed today, why would I care?

784
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:32,639
Speaker 2: Now?

785
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,079
Speaker 1: One thing I do look at and I talk about

786
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:35,599
a lot in my write ups, is the history of

787
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,760
the current lineup like that, not just the Cubs, but

788
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,159
the guys that are batting today against today's starter. Is

789
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:44,280
that something you do mix in? Uh, say that again,

790
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,000
the current guys in the lineup against the actual start

791
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,400
of that day.

792
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,199
Speaker 2: That is something you would look at. Yeah, because that's

793
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,119
what I use as well.

794
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,559
Speaker 5: But I don't overvalue it because when you when you

795
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:55,239
look up those stats, they could have been from like

796
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,800
three years ago. We don't know. But but yeah, I

797
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,320
do factor that in obviously. Yeah. I think you and

798
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,800
I have a similar approach, which is.

799
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: Why and we both do well in baseball. So that's

800
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,639
why I love talking to you about it. And hey,

801
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,400
if you want to analyze every game of the board,

802
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,760
he did it last week. He has fireball and might

803
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,440
not have as much fireball to stay up till three

804
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,840
am Tokyo time, but he's going to.

805
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 5: Try to go at least I've been banned, so I show.

806
00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:20,599
I told him, if you if you start banning my my,

807
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:22,320
my clothes, then I'm going to revolt.

808
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if we if we have a regular

809
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,039
backdrop like this behind you, then we're going to think

810
00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:29,320
something seriously wrong. So once again, check them out here

811
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,719
in about twenty two minutes live on wager Talk TV,

812
00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:36,599
The Tokyo Brandon Show starring Tokyo Brandon. All the baseball,

813
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:38,920
you got it, we'll see in a little bit. All right, Hey,

814
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,000
that was Japan. Let's go to Thailand. Let's keep the

815
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:43,280
Asian thing going as we get back to Vegas here

816
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,000
to finish the Teddy covers in a moment, By the way,

817
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:46,159
the most Asian man in Las.

818
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:49,039
Speaker 2: Vegas, Theodor Sarvansky. Teddy covers on in a moment.

819
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: But first, let's talk to Jesse Schule, who's coming from

820
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,280
Parts Unknown as well. And Jesse, we talked a lot

821
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,760
of baseball. We're going to talk some NFL with Teddy.

822
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:00,039
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little.

823
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,119
Speaker 1: Cop football with you. Shoot, let's start with Colorado. I

824
00:36:03,159 --> 00:36:04,800
know you want to talk about the bottom feeders and

825
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,320
the sun belt. We'll get to that, but't I can't

826
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,840
even name them offhand right now. Let's talk with Colorado. Man,

827
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,639
you're egging me all with that sweatshirt. We got to

828
00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:15,440
talk about the Buffalo's. They've been one of the most

829
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,280
intriguing teams in college football the last couple of years. Obviously,

830
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,440
they lost the big talent this year to the NFL.

831
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,559
What are you doing with them going forward this season?

832
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 6: Well, first off, I don't know if you know the

833
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,920
story of how I got this jersey.

834
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,039
Speaker 2: No, I was curious about that.

835
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not a Colorado fan. In fact, I have

836
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:35,400
a bit of a love hate relationship with Colorado fans.

837
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,159
I don't hate their team. They seem to think I do.

838
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,039
I bet against them last year when they were on

839
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,960
the road at Central Florida and the Buffs fans were

840
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,119
telling me, Oh, the Buffs are going to win by

841
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:48,280
double digits, and I told them, I said, listen, if

842
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,000
the Buffs win by double digits, I'll get a jersey

843
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:53,199
and I'll wear it on the show. Well it's a

844
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:55,519
pretty nice jersey. So I don't feel like I lost

845
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:58,840
too bad there. But I don't hate the Buffs. But

846
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,760
I think sometimes buff get a little bit. They view

847
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,480
their team with rose colored glasses, as do most college

848
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,760
football fan bases that said, the Buffs did have a

849
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,159
great season last year. They certainly did a lot better

850
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,119
than I thought they would. But yeah, they got to

851
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:17,039
replace what a Heisman Trophy winner who played on both

852
00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:19,000
sides of the ball. So I mean, it's like you're

853
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:22,639
losing two guys. And then Shadar Sanders. A lot of

854
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:25,519
people criticize him, he fell in the draft, but you

855
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:28,159
look at what he did behind an offensive line that

856
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,000
was terrible, and it was pretty impressive. And thinking that

857
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:35,079
Caden Salter from Liberty is going to come in and

858
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:37,280
be able to do that, I just don't see it.

859
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,360
I think the Buffs are in big trouble in Week

860
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,599
one against Georgia Tech, and whether or not they remain

861
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:47,079
competitive in the Big twelve is it remains to be seen.

862
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:48,519
Speaker 3: I'm not going to make a judgment on that.

863
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 6: There probably will be good spots to bet on the Buffalos,

864
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,239
So I don't want to get too much flak from

865
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,280
Colorado fans, but I ain't touched him in Week one,

866
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,199
let's put it that way.

867
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:01,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's I lost a lot of talent,

868
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,599
even with just a couple guys.

869
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: That was a huge blow. More So, probably any team.

870
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: I just don't know if Sanders has built that program

871
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:10,440
up enough yet where they can just reload, you know,

872
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,920
like powerhouse teams do in the offseason. Another team. I'm

873
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,920
really curious about. Florida State by far the biggest disappointment

874
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,400
maybe in modern college football history last year. So he

875
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,960
talked about Georgia Tech here a moment ago.

876
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 2: I did call that, Steve.

877
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,679
Speaker 6: I didn't have my best college football season, but I

878
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,519
did call that one. I was on every show throughout

879
00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:34,400
the summer saying I was taken the under in Florida

880
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,599
State mostly because of DJU. Bringing in DJU to replace

881
00:38:38,679 --> 00:38:42,320
Jordan Travis was that was never going to work in

882
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,480
my opinion. Well, and we saw the results. But let

883
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,559
me ask you, Steve, what do you think of Norvell

884
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:51,639
as a coach? Would you say his tenure at Florida State,

885
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,119
despite last year, has been relatively successful.

886
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, It's just Florida State's been an enigma

887
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,760
to me now for like a decade. I have a

888
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:02,079
on of friends that went to Florida State. I was

889
00:39:02,119 --> 00:39:04,119
actually a charter member in two thousand and four the

890
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:06,679
Seminal Club here in Lellisburg, Virginia, because there's somebody Florida

891
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:08,920
State alone, and we went to the UVA game that year.

892
00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:12,079
Speaker 2: I actually remember going to that game. They've fallen so far.

893
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: I went to the National title game with some buddies

894
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,079
in two thousand against Oklahoma. Perhaps the worst national title

895
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:20,239
game in history was fourteen of two. They vastly underachieved

896
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,039
in that game. So I've seen Florida State do this

897
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:27,960
over the decades. It's just so much time surprise. Yet, yeah, exactly,

898
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,280
I mean, it's that's the thing. They're so bipolar. And

899
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,320
even then, Jesse, I mean, do you even only take much.

900
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,840
We have no preseason to look at. They're hiding guys.

901
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,920
Most of these teams aren't even doing spring games anymore

902
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,960
because they don't want their guys seen. I've talked to coaches.

903
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:45,039
There's actually scouts and coaches watching the spring game to

904
00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:47,599
try to see guys they can poach. With the transfer

905
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:51,960
porter on the NILS. It's it's so bizarre now. I mean,

906
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,079
my strategy in September. I think I went ten and

907
00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:56,760
three last year in September and college football is I

908
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,920
played blowouts. I played the big boys against the mid majors.

909
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,039
You know, I stayed away from the Georgia Tech Florida

910
00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:05,079
State game last year. I just don't have a read

911
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:07,920
for them right now. But what I can My concern

912
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,559
is am I going to even get a read from

913
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:10,519
the first couple of games?

914
00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:11,679
Speaker 2: You know? What we even know after that?

915
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 4: At?

916
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,039
Speaker 2: What to do with a team like that?

917
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: Their offense was I talked about this in all the

918
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,559
other sports, including baseball, like the Rockies, how bad they

919
00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:18,199
are all offensively.

920
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 2: When you take out the home numbers, you.

921
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,599
Speaker 1: Can't bet bad offensive teams in any sport, And if

922
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:24,880
you look at the bottom feeders, they're all terrible offensively,

923
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,280
whether it's basketball, baseball, football, and Florida State's offense was

924
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,280
really bad last year. Do you feel like there's any

925
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,719
chance they've improved that fast?

926
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 6: Well, let me give you these numbers Norville with Jordan

927
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,320
Travis at Florida State twenty four and six.

928
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:40,519
Speaker 2: Wow, good numbers.

929
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,159
Speaker 6: His record in games without Jordan Travis four and eighteen.

930
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,480
That's incredible, Jordan, Jordan Travis ain't coming around that corner.

931
00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:52,440
And Thomas Castellanos and the other thing that we didn't

932
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,719
speak about is the call out.

933
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:55,159
Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw it.

934
00:40:55,639 --> 00:41:01,199
Speaker 6: Media reports Thomas Castellanos said about Alabama. He called out Alabama.

935
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,280
He said, Nick Saban ain't there to save them. I

936
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,320
can't see them stopping me. Look at me last year,

937
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,159
I tore up the ACC by my own damn self.

938
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:15,760
And I mean one of the problems with Florida State

939
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,119
is Norvel brought in a bunch of transfers last year,

940
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:22,920
questionable character guys, and his team started off poorly and

941
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,519
the guys quit on him. So he goes out and

942
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:29,960
gets a guy in Thomas Castellanos, who left Boston College

943
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:33,440
in not so great circumstances. You could say he quit

944
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,480
on his team. And before he's even played a game,

945
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,880
he's calling out Alabama. That's a pretty selfish thing to do.

946
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,840
I'm sure that Mike Norvel was not happy. I'm sure

947
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,760
his teammates were not happy with that. And then to

948
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,159
say that he tore up the ACC by his own

949
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,679
damn self. So he's throwing his former teammates under the bus.

950
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,400
They've already hit back on Twitter and said they don't

951
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,519
see it that way. And when he says Nick Saban's

952
00:41:57,599 --> 00:41:59,559
not going to be there to save him, is he

953
00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:02,280
for me? With Kaylin de boer All, He's done Is

954
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:07,159
won championships at Washington and in the Mountain West with

955
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,719
Fresno State. His quarterbacks Michael Pennix Junior and Jay Hayner

956
00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:15,840
have lit it up on offense, and he wins nine

957
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,360
games in his first season and beats Kirby Smart and

958
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Georgia last year. I think people are sleeping on Alabama,

959
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,360
and I think Alabama is going to rip Florida State

960
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,800
a new one in week one. And I will tell

961
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,719
you this. I think come the game against Florida at

962
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,119
the end of the year, Norvelle's gone and so is Castellanos.

963
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,960
So how's that Florida State fans.

964
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: I love it because I wanted to ask you about Alabama.

965
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
That was the next team I'm always curious about, and

966
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,800
you answered my question right there. Yeah, I was gonna say,

967
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,719
you talk about coaching differences. That's why I wanted to

968
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,679
go there. Debor is a guy that's won at every level,

969
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,760
and even when he hasn't necessarily had the best tut

970
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,159
he gets guys and they played for whereas the Florida

971
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:55,440
State guys, like you said, quit. That's the problem with

972
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,599
these low character type players. When things start to go bad,

973
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,719
they go bad. South fast. That's why you can't try

974
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,840
to catch those falling knives Florida State, especially.

975
00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:06,559
Speaker 6: When you're talking about mercenaries that are signing for paychecks

976
00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:10,239
and moving around for money and not going to the

977
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,199
school that their parents went to. And this kind of

978
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,079
the old school college football, and which is why a

979
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:18,960
guy like Nick Saban leaves and then you're left with

980
00:43:19,079 --> 00:43:24,800
guys like Kiffen and de Boor and a different breed

981
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,079
of head coach in college football these days. But as

982
00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:31,239
far as Alabama goes, I think they're being slept on.

983
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:34,599
It's not just Debor. Now you get Ryan Grubb back

984
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:39,679
at offensive coordinator. They're probably the best head coach offensive

985
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:43,320
coordinator duo in college football in my opinion. They bring

986
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,000
in or they don't bring in. They're planning on starting

987
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,760
Ty Simpson, who's a guy that nobody's really seen play

988
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,519
in Division one football, but he's been with the program

989
00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:54,880
a few years, riding the Pine five star recruit, the

990
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,360
top quarterback recruit in the country in twenty twenty two.

991
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,239
And if Kaylin, de Boor and Ryan decide to go

992
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,000
into the season with this guy, there's got to read

993
00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:05,719
the tea leaves. There's got to be a reason for it.

994
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Alabama is not a poverty program if they wanted, if

995
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,519
they if they felt they needed a quarterback, they would

996
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:13,519
have gone out and got one. If they want to

997
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:15,679
roll with ty Simpson, I would I would expect him

998
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:18,400
to be pretty damn good this season. So yeah, I'm

999
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,159
high on Alabama coming into the season.

1000
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: Well, and that goes back to what I said. That's

1001
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,079
a team that reloads. You know, they can still reload.

1002
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:26,360
They don't have to rebuild every year. Florida State obviously

1003
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,320
does not reload. Otherwise they would have been better last year.

1004
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,079
They would have pulled in other guys to play. So

1005
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,480
and we don't have a preseason once again in college football,

1006
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:35,079
so you got to figure a team that's in house

1007
00:44:35,159 --> 00:44:37,400
like that has a nice edge in Week one against

1008
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,480
a team that's bringing in transfer as the new players.

1009
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,760
They've had a few scrimmages maybe, but they haven't played

1010
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:42,440
a preseason game.

1011
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,559
Speaker 2: They haven't played a real game. That's gonna be an

1012
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:45,840
interesting one in Week one.

1013
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, Jesse is doing a ton of

1014
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:52,599
college football preview videos for game matchup season previews, and

1015
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:54,199
if you like what you heard, you can get his

1016
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,320

1017
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,039
of the season, right if you get the early Bird

1018
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:00,039

Speaker 2: And pro football. Jesse tell us about it as a

wager Talk.

1021
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've I've had some pretty good success with CFL.

1022
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,800
I think I'm hitting around sixty five sixty six percent

1023
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,800
with CFL since twenty twenty when I joined the company.

1024
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,800
I don't play a lot of CFL games, maybe one

1025
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,280
or two a week, but hit for I percentage and

1026
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,280
we'll give you the CFL for free if you sign

1027
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,159
up for NFL and college football. For those of you

1028
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:27,599
who can't remember last year's playoffs, I dominated the NFL

1029
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:30,800
playoffs last year, one big in the Super Bowl. So

1030
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,559
looking to pick up where I left off last season

1031
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:34,480
on the grid iron.

1032
00:45:35,159 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: It's Jesse Schule once get to the CFL for free

1041
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: College ball went around the world.

1042
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish in Las Vegas, where we started with

1043
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:03,800
Teddy Covers.

1044
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: Teddy's been waiting in the wings.

1045
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,039
Speaker 1: Thank you for being patient, Theodore, I said, if I

1046
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:10,519
told people we had Theodore Servansky, nobody would have stayed,

1047
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:11,840
but Teddy Covers will stay.

1048
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,519
Speaker 4: I still thank Rob Veno to this day every time

1049
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:18,480
I see him, like, thank you, Rob. Rob is the

1050
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,320
one who called me Teddy Covers for the first time,

1051
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,840
and it I mean, like the first time he called

1052
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,519
it to me. The next day other people were using it,

1053
00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:26,360
and by a week later, I'm like, yeah, I guess.

1054
00:46:26,159 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm Teddy Covers now. I love it.

1055
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 4: So it's all Rob Veno. I came out here as

1056
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,480
Ted Savaransky and it just didn't didn't have that same

1057
00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:34,039
ring to it.

1058
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, my name. We've been doing it long enough, Rob.

1059
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,559
Speaker 1: I was on websites with you twenty some years ago

1060
00:46:39,559 --> 00:46:43,440
where you were Ted Servanski on the website. So never

1061
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:46,119
Theodore Sravansky. That sounds like a Nobel laureate. It's a

1062
00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:46,840
little too famous.

1063
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the one that never called me theatre was

1064
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,199
my mom, and that's only when she was mad.

1065
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: That's when you're in trouble. That's exactly right. I knew

1066
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,480
that without asking. All right, So we talked some college football.

1067
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:57,840
We'll let you run here in a few minutes. Let's

1068
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,599
finish it off with some NFL. You're doing a great

1069
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:02,679
job all year long. You've done the season win reports.

1070
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,239
I mean this whole summer. You've been doing a great

1071
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,320
job week after week breaking down some different teams. I

1072
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,960
love where you went by the way last week with

1073
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,239
my not my Washington Commanders. That was one that jumped

1074
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,079
out to me months ago as an under or pass.

1075
00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:18,000
They's so vastly overachieved last year. If you missed that breakdown,

1076
00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:21,039
watched last week's last call replay here with Ariel. He

1077
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:23,599
did the Commanders, talked a little about the Chiefs as well.

1078
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,760
Dolphins were brought up. But this week we're going to

1079
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,280
do the two New York teams. I believe, right, Giants.

1080
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, just yes of interesting teams to talk about, and

1081
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,320
I thought the two New York teams are worthy of

1082
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,000
some mention. They're in the New York teams, you know,

1083
00:47:36,039 --> 00:47:40,400
and of course they both think you can find again

1084
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:43,880
the one thing that's very different this year compared to

1085
00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:46,800
previous years, and we talked about a betting marketplace that's

1086
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:51,480
always dynamic and always changing. There's a lot more alternative

1087
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:54,039
lines this year when it comes to win totals, and

1088
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:57,480
I've ever seen before, ever, ever, And obviously this is

1089
00:47:57,519 --> 00:47:59,320
my twenty fifth season where I put on an NFL

1090
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,079
win report. Win reports have done pretty well over the

1091
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:05,000
years one O, three and fifty two, Lifetime seventeen and

1092
00:48:05,039 --> 00:48:09,440
four with the five percent big tickets, but you can

1093
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,199
find vary and so if you have opinions on these teams,

1094
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:16,840
you can bet plus prices, you know, at virtually on

1095
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,239
virtually every squad. And you know, we say the Giants,

1096
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,719
I'll call them aligned five and a half, whereas the

1097
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,559
Jets are more aligned at six. But you can find

1098
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:27,159
both teams at five and a half. You can find

1099
00:48:27,199 --> 00:48:28,599
the Jets at six and a half, you can find

1100
00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:30,760
the Giants at four and a half. We're not talking

1101
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,559
about teams that are expected to be competing for playoff

1102
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:36,159
spots or Super Bowl appearances in twenty twenty five.

1103
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Giants are interesting because you either

1104
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,119
talking about the Commanders. I actually did a sports range

1105
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:46,599
late last night on Sports Grid, and Cam Short and

1106
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:48,360
I were talking about the Commanders again, and we said,

1107
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,639
you know, the Eagles will be tough, Cowboys maybe have

1108
00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:54,199
some upside, but Camp said, Giants are terrible again, and

1109
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,320
you know, even if five and a half is hard

1110
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,239
to make a case for him.

1111
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: I was like, they can't be much worse, but so

1112
00:49:01,519 --> 00:49:02,840
if you had to play one of the New York teams.

1113
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,199
Speaker 1: Though maybe more upset with the Jets than the Giants.

1114
00:49:05,199 --> 00:49:08,199
I mean, what are your thoughts for sure? I mean, look,

1115
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,760
the Giants win three and fourteen. Last year, they went

1116
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,719
six and eleven and twenty three. They were a playoff

1117
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,159
team the year before because they stole a bunch of

1118
00:49:16,199 --> 00:49:18,880
games that they didn't deserve. Crazy A clients and I

1119
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,920
cashing over with the Giants that year. We got there

1120
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:22,719
with room to spare.

1121
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,199
Speaker 4: And I'm still not convinced they were a right side,

1122
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,079
but the schedule was easy enough. In twenty twenty two,

1123
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,440
they went four and thirteen and twenty twenty one, six

1124
00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:33,159
and ten in twenty twenty four and twelve, and twenty nineteen,

1125
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,320
five and eleven and twenty eighteen, three and thirteen and

1126
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,760
twenty seventeen. The last time this team was actually good

1127
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,119
was twenty sixteen with Eli Manning throwing a Victor Cruz

1128
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:47,360
and OBJ. You know, you have a head coach on

1129
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,119
the hot seat and office equator on the hot seat

1130
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:52,920
at GM on the hot seat. You know, so lots

1131
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,199
of scenarios in which the end of the season everyone's

1132
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,880
fired and you know they're playing out the string and

1133
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,039
hoping for another high draft choice. Obviously at the quarterback position,

1134
00:50:03,159 --> 00:50:08,840
Russell Wilson, Yes, Jackson dart Maybe there's been a lot

1135
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,599
of intrigue about Jackson dartboard. You talking about a rookie

1136
00:50:11,679 --> 00:50:16,280
QB and not a first round rookie QB or sorry,

1137
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,480
late first round rookie GB was either fifth or sixth

1138
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,559
quarterback taken, those aren't guys who I tend to trust.

1139
00:50:23,199 --> 00:50:25,119
In their first year as starters. They had money to

1140
00:50:25,159 --> 00:50:27,760
spending free agency. Absolutely, they spend a lot of money

1141
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,199
in free agency, lots of signings. That being said, you

1142
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,119
look at the schedule. They play what nine games against

1143
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:37,239
teams at eleven plus wins?

1144
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,639
Speaker 2: Last year?

1145
00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 4: They play eleven games against teams expected to have a

1146
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,239
winning record this year. It's the single toughest schedule in

1147
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,840
the NFL for twenty twenty five based on this year's

1148
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,079
win totals. Now, compare that to the Jets. All right,

1149
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,960
and the Jets obviously they went five to twelve last year,

1150
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,679
seven to ten of the year before, seven to ten

1151
00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:56,280
the year before. They're not being aligned as you know,

1152
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:01,199
So they haven't been as bottom feedery as the Giants

1153
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,599
in recent years. Last year they're the number two defense

1154
00:51:04,639 --> 00:51:07,000
in the NFL and yards per play allowed only Philadelphia

1155
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:10,599
was better. New head coach, new defense quarter, new offense careator.

1156
00:51:10,679 --> 00:51:13,559
So they had that burst of energy in the off season.

1157
00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:16,719
You knows of free agent signings, I thought the Jets

1158
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,840
did ever. You know, again, Justin Fields is a guy

1159
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,000
who's going to attract a lot of attention one where

1160
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,280
the other negative or positive. Oh Justin Field stinks. Oh,

1161
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,320
there's upside for Justin Fields. In my opinion, there's upside

1162
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,800
with Justin Fields. We are talking about a top tier

1163
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,440
quarterback in college quarterback who's highly thought of coming in

1164
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,280
the league, who hasn't really walked into a positive situation yet.

1165
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,000
And I don't know just the positive situation. Obviously they're lying,

1166
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,800
you know, five and a half six win team. But

1167
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,719
look on paper, they should be decent. The defense should

1168
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,639
be decent. And you look at their schedule, middle of

1169
00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:59,599
the pack SOS home games down the stretch, Carolina, Cleveland, Atlanta,

1170
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:02,039
My am New England. I'll call them all winnable. They

1171
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:04,239
get Aaron Rodgers week one, I'll call that a winnable

1172
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,440
games over to the markets. So of the two New

1173
00:52:07,519 --> 00:52:10,760
York teams, if I'm playing one over one under, it'd

1174
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,159
be Jets over Giants side.

1175
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Fields is an interesting guy because obviously he

1176
00:52:16,519 --> 00:52:19,239
was horrendous initially at Chicago, but I did state start

1177
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,480
to see some upside with him at times last year,

1178
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,400
and you kind of feel like maybe a change of

1179
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,079
scenery for a guy like that that's got a few

1180
00:52:25,119 --> 00:52:26,639
years in the league now could be good. You just

1181
00:52:26,679 --> 00:52:29,199
wonder that New York City media probably not the best

1182
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,239
change of scenery for me. You'd be better off going

1183
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,239
somewhere quiet, you know, small, Not that there's really any

1184
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,599
small media markets, I guess in the NFL anymore, But yeah,

1185
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:38,880
this could be As I agree with you, I think

1186
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,599
there's some upside. And we pointed that out last time

1187
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:42,000
we were talking about the Giants. They did not get

1188
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,960
any benefit from the schedule this year. Like you just said,

1189
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,440
it's fascinated that the hardest rated schedule based on season wins.

1190
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,280
That's also shows how difficult that season win total is

1191
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:51,800
going to be for them to get up and over even.

1192
00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 2: At five and a half. Real quick toy.

1193
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,559
Speaker 1: On the way out there, you mentioned all the alternative

1194
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:58,920
lines out there, the different prices you can find. Explain

1195
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,639
to people once again what a haf a game is

1196
00:53:00,679 --> 00:53:02,800
worth from your numbers in the NFL when you're you know,

1197
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,559
you're looking at saying taking a you know, over six

1198
00:53:05,639 --> 00:53:07,960
and a half versus an under seven, you know, when

1199
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,199
you have a choice between two half wins like that.

1200
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 4: So the rule of thumb is fifty cents for a

1201
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,840
half win, all right, fifty cents worth of juice. But

1202
00:53:18,599 --> 00:53:23,719
in actuality, you can price it differently based on where

1203
00:53:24,519 --> 00:53:27,159
the win total is at four and a half, five,

1204
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,920
five and a half, the low end of the market,

1205
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,039
or at the high end of the market ten and

1206
00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:33,519
a half, eleven, eleven and a half. Those half wins

1207
00:53:33,559 --> 00:53:35,440
are worth a little bit more. You say they're worth

1208
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,320
sixty cents, sixty five cents, seventy cents because it's harder

1209
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,280
to get over those top totals, and it's harder to

1210
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,000
get to say, under those low totals. But for your

1211
00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:47,920
middle of the pack teams, six and a half minus

1212
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,639
one fifty to the over is a moral equivalent of

1213
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,880
seven at even money, or eight and a half under

1214
00:53:55,119 --> 00:54:01,239
minus one twenty is the moral equivalent of eight under

1215
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:06,159
plus one point thirty, so approximately fifty cents. Now, when

1216
00:54:06,199 --> 00:54:10,599
you talk about season long bets, I tend to one

1217
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:12,559
of those bets to win. So I'm willing to lay

1218
00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:15,440
a little bit more juice in general to turn a

1219
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,280
potential push into a potential win. And look, we love that.

1220
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:21,320
I never complained about a push with the season win.

1221
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:21,679
Speaker 2: I really do.

1222
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 4: Once in a while you do. But in general, when

1223
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,119
my season win's gonna push, it's I wasn't right, you know,

1224
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,639
So I'm all right. I we got out of it,

1225
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:30,880
no harm, no foul, We got our money back. But

1226
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,480
in general, you want these to win. So I'm gonna

1227
00:54:34,559 --> 00:54:37,320
lay a little extra juice to get the half as

1228
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:42,519
opposed to the push number when I can, because it's

1229
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,679
it makes sense to do that given how tight these

1230
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,840
numbers actually are, how tight this marketplace.

1231
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: Is makes a lot of sense. So once again, in general,

1232
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,039
about fifty cents, maybe sixty cents or more on the

1233
00:54:53,039 --> 00:54:56,559
extreme numbers high or low. So if you're shopping around

1234
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,519
when you as you should, with multiple books, multiple numbers,

1235
00:54:59,519 --> 00:55:01,599
that gives you little bit of a barometer of which

1236
00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:03,440
one to choose when you're making your season win bets.

1237
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,639
And once again, if you want Teddy's complete NFL season

1238
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:08,880
win Report, it's this twenty fifth year that he's done,

1239
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,599
this twenty fifth season because he started in two thousand

1240
00:55:11,639 --> 00:55:14,800
and one one O three and fifty two with three pushes.

1241
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: He said, three pushes, So they do occasionally happen.

1242
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: And most of these total sportsbooks put out, of course,

1243
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,159
are half wins because they don't want to push either.

1244
00:55:21,159 --> 00:55:23,639
They don't want to have to refund people after six months.

1245
00:55:23,679 --> 00:55:26,159
They want to win our a loss as well. Sixty

1246
00:55:26,199 --> 00:55:29,039
six percent Teddy's incredible, but that seventeen and four eighty

1247
00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:32,360
one percent mark is remarkable. And I believe you had

1248
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,159
the Saints last year undercorrect as your five percent big ticket,

1249
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,360
and you've got another strong one going this year. I

1250
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,760
believe people can still get the report for free, as

1251
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,119
crazy as that sounds, right, tell them how to do so.
