Speaker 1: We love all Right, we are live here Saturday morning,
still broadcasting from my kitchen, Kelly in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: This is wager Talk's last call and I'm still patiently
waiting for art to Caesar's long list. So you guys
want it, Maybe time to start tweeting my guy. I'm
sure it's a busy day there at the Westgates super Book.
Welcome in our new wager Talk insiders to the chat,
wut Dot Buzz Backslash insiders to join. We've got Joanny
the Greek coming up first, and then we've got the
guys from Full Court Press, Rob Bino, Adam Trigger. We're
gonna break down all of the college basketball sleep with them.
If you guys have a question for VR. You guys
have a question for one of the Full Court Press
guys dropping the chat, I'll put a little star next
to it, and I'm gonna prioritize those with rotation numbers. Now,
I know we're a little old school here at wager Talk,
and I need those rotation numbers because I'm on my
laptop and I have to use my iPad in order
to be able to tee these guys up for the games.
Speaker 2: VR. I'm gonna welcome you in.
Speaker 1: First, we got a big day here on the YouTube
channel because you are going.
Speaker 2: To give away your steam room for free to everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the perfect date because it's just so busy.
Speaker 4: There's so much college basketball, NBA UFC card as well,
so yeah, it's the perfect time to have the steam
room live and free for everyone to join us. We
will be going over the college basketball board, will be
going over NBA UFC obviously, and more importantly, I'll answer
all your questions and go over the risk management bank
roll management that I use and that I urge subscribers
to use, and more importantly than anything else, will go
over year to date results and what the blueprint looks
like between now and December thirty. First, because our goal
is to be profitable in twenty twenty six, and if
our goal is aligned, you're going to do some damage
as well.
Speaker 3: So far, so good.
Speaker 4: Kel up about fifty units for the year. We double
up our bank at four hundred, so that's the goal.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: News here mid February headed into March Madison.
Speaker 2: I know everybody wants to talk about the college basketball slate.
Speaker 1: But there is a lot of other sports going on
right now, So I kind of wanted to touch on
a couple of those before you and I hit a
little bit of the college basketball slate UFC tonight. I
want to get your look behind the computer screen over there.
If you guys don't know, VR is pretty famous from
a UFC betting perspective, that is where he makes a
ton of his bread and butter. You guys can catch
him on several of their shows. VRE kind of let
everybody know what we should be expecting from this fight.
Speaker 4: Car yank you decent car, decent cart in Houston, and
thank you for Thatt Kelly. I just got a two
year deal from them, so I'll be sticking around another
two years with the UFC now that they're on paramount.
There's there's I'll give you some of this stuff that
I like so far. Let me give you two totals
really quick, a little juicy, but definitely the right side.
First off is the co event Jeff Neil and Eurosmetic
under one and a half minus two hundred or better
plus TV all day. This is closer to four out
of five times this one gets finished inside the distance
and you got to go under one and a half.
But with that said, finishes happened early. With every passing round,
the probability of a finish gets cut in half. So
that's why, unlike boxing where they systematically break opponents down
and MMA, it's the opposite. With finishes happen they usually
come early. So we like the under one and a half.
They are little juicy. And then we went under two
and a half in the undercart Soriano and Brahimage under
two and a half. That one also at least two
out of three times goes inside the distance.
Speaker 3: In fact, some of the Sharper books I'm.
Speaker 4: Looking at now have that at one and a half,
but still two and a half are out there.
Speaker 3: So those are two unders for you. Live dog in the.
Speaker 4: Main event strong Strickland listen usually minus two eighties close
to three to one. Favorites don't lose all that often,
but Hernandez should not be this big of a favorite
over Strickling. Strength of schedules very comparable, but you're paying
for Hernandez's hot streak. He's won eight straight fights and
he's gotten performance bonuses in three of.
Speaker 3: His last four.
Speaker 4: But matchups are everything, and he uses pace and his
cardio as his greatest weapon. Strickling does the same thing,
so it's gonna be interesting to see who can break who.
But again, I can't let it go at anything plus
two hundred or better. I have to bet it there's
value there.
Speaker 3: But if you're not.
Speaker 4: Comfortable throwing a ticket out, you know, six out of
ten times, you probably shouldn't betting plus two hundreds because
that's exactly what's gonna happen. Even when you're right, you're
still gonna throw that ticket out six out of ten times.
But you know, I'm comfortable placing those kind of bets
because I know long term when the bust settles will
be ahead.
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm looking at. Oh and real fast.
Speaker 4: Two dogs that one of the guys I work with
really sharp, that he bet earlier in the week. He
took dan Ega at plus money almost two to one dog,
and he took Phil Rowe also at plus money almost
a two to one dog. So he took Phil Rowe
and he took dan Ega, both big dogs, both from
a respected better right.
Speaker 2: I know, I love the UFC stuff.
Speaker 1: I know our producer at lou is very excited about
those big UFC dogs. He's a big UFC fan, So
thank you for going over both of those v are.
Another thing that I wanted to kind of pivot to
was what we're gonna start seeing over like the next
month and a half here with March madness.
Speaker 2: Do you start to get more selective?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: I know your steam sheet is massive some days, right,
like whether I'm getting stuff from you, whether I'm getting
stuff from Art to Caesar. Sometimes it can be really
overwhelming trying to dissect through. So let me know what
everybody should be expecting, Like now through I think, what's
the National Championship April sixth.
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, yeah, you nailed it. I'm moving a lot
of stuff.
Speaker 4: And I try us that these guys are going to
turn profit with these accounts, because that's what they do.
Whether they're middling some stuff, manipulating some stuff, I don't care.
But what I try to do is narrow down where
I think are the strongest positions and they're still plus
ev there for my subscribers.
Speaker 3: And that's where I bring in my power ratings.
Speaker 4: That's what helps me because I already have power rated
each and one of these matchups today, so I have
what my numbers should be. I have my strong lean circle,
and then I wait to see what these guys come
in on, so I got to be pretty much a
day ahead prepared. With that said, because of that, I
become a lot more selective. The only nights I over
have volume is if we're betting multiple sports, like today,
where it's gonna be MMA, NBA, college basketball, you throw
in a couple of player prompts.
Speaker 3: Those are four markets.
Speaker 4: So even if you're only betting, you know two bets
per market, you're gonna have eight bets in play. So
you know that's volume for most betters, but you nailed it.
Between now and more Madness, I've been narrowing down selections
in college basketball, most notably in NBA where I use
my power ratings, but like player prompts other markets that
I don't do the work that I just trust those
guys and piggybackett.
Speaker 3: That's the only time they'll be a little more volume.
Speaker 4: But otherwise, yeah, Between now March Madness, I am narrowing
down where I think the strongest spots are, and most
of it comes from overvalued versus undervalue. That hasn't changed
what we talked about in college football and pretty much
in every sport. Trying to isolate those teams that the
narrative is they're better than they are or they're worse
than they are. That's what I'm trying to zero in on.
And yet plenty of those when you have rankings to
look at.
Speaker 1: All, Right, let's hear some of your rankings, because those
are some of my favorite things. I know you go
over them, mondays on wager Talk today. Our social guys
do a really good job of clipping those. But now
we've played, you know, five six more days of games.
Alabama was my lone loser on Wednesday night. They were
really frustrating, got taken to double overtime by Arkansas. And
I know for a while you had them pretty highly
power rated. Tell me where you stand with them and
some of the other SEC teams like Florida.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got Alabama right now as the eighth best
team in the country, and I don't even know if
they're if they're ranked, I mean the AP Yeah, I'm
looking right now, they're twenty fifth. So that's a perfect
example of an undervalue team. You have a handful of those,
and you have some that are a little bit overvalued.
Perfect example the Miami Ohios. They're nowhere in my top
thirty kel and yet they're twenty second because of their
twenty five and OERD records. Same thing with Saint Louis
twenty four and one, they're nowhere in.
Speaker 3: My top thirty.
Speaker 4: A team like Saint Louis, a team like Miami, Ohio,
they would be such big dogs to Duke Houston, Michigan, Florida, Arizon.
Those are my top five going into today's games. Duke Houston, Michigan, Florida, Arizona,
followed by Gonzaga, Purdue, Alabama, Illinois, and Ohio State.
Speaker 3: And here's the kicker.
Speaker 4: The difference between Duke and Iowa State, let's say the
number one team and the number ten team is only
about four points.
Speaker 3: And the difference between.
Speaker 4: The number one team I have Duke and my number twenty,
which is Saint John's, is about eight points. So it's
not all that. There's a lot of parody in college
basketball this year. So form number one the number twenty
only about eight point difference. Where we saw in you know,
college football, Yeah, had four touchdown differences between number one
and number twenty.
Speaker 3: So a lot more parody.
Speaker 4: In college basketball, especially this year, and that's always good
for us.
Speaker 3: Better is always a good thing.
Speaker 2: I love to hear it.
Speaker 1: As a Iowa State ticket holder, I do have a
fifty to one.
Speaker 2: On Texas Tech. But after losing their best player, I
don't feel great about teams like that. See what I
want them?
Speaker 5: I got.
Speaker 4: Texas Tech is nowhere in the APE. Oh they are,
they are. They're in the A and AP Okay, so
I'm like, I have them about fifteenth. They're still up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's unfortunate though, when you lose a solid
player that late in this late into the season. Right, yes,
sometimes you're gonna get teams and they can play well after.
But then, man, losing to that Arizona State team the
other night was a little was a little weird. I
was thinking, Okay, is it just because their first game
without them? What is it kind of going on here?
But we'll see.
Speaker 3: People we look to any any steam stump real quickly.
Speaker 4: These are the teams called that are nowhere in the
rankings that I see nowhere in the rankings. Tennessee, Connecticut,
All Burn, Kentucky, Like those are top twenty teams and
they're nowhere in the rankings. Those are the teams that
I like the zero in on that I think are
so much better than their record shows. And then when
I look at points scored, points allowed, and you see, wow,
but that Green wins. They should have more wins. So
then all of a sudden dig in the turnovers and
what you're gonna find is this team's gotten unlucky or
with fouls has gotten unlucky, and that always balances out.
Speaker 3: And that's why those teams is what I'll.
Speaker 4: Go into the week, haven't written down and looking for
positions to back them. Not going to blindly bet them,
but looking for spots where I want to bet these teams. Wow,
Kansas just got steamed, and earlier it was the other side,
Cincinnati was the right side.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, VR, excuse my language. Look at this list
that Art Caesar just sent me. It is absolutely massive.
So I'm gonna send that to you as well as
dropping in the chat for our audience here in just
a little bit. But I got to hear what you
have on your Oops. I just sent you the map
to the beach that I'm going to with my family later,
drawn copy and paste all jokes aside.
Speaker 2: Got you that list right now.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely massive from Art and I got we
gotta go through and kind of decipher what's going on here.
A couple of the questions in the chat also want
to know what are the biggest public sides for today?
Doug James wants to know. And that's some of the
stuff that you can see what I love because behind
the computer screen and looking into the back end of
some of those accounts kind of gives us a look
into what the public is betting.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: It's not an automatic fade, but it does make you
feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2: When you're on the other side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's you know, what's the narrative, like, are
they all love? Do they believe this team's so good?
Speaker 4: And that's what the picture is out there, but your
your numbers tell you eight they're not that good. Yeah,
it's exactly what I'm looking for as far as the
public signs, and I came loaded for bear with you guys.
The five biggest one sided bets so far, well, public Mississippi.
That's the biggest dog they're bet in Mississippi plus twelve.
They love Mississippi today. And then here are the favorites.
They're on Grand Canyon. For some reason, Grand Canyon's sticking
out a lot at minus nine and a half USC
no surprise over Oregon. That's a later game that's getting
a ton of money cal at minus one and a half.
And then Utall State as well, so again Utall State
and Grand Canyon. Smaller teams conference teams usually they ain't
getting a bunch of public money, but they stick out
today already this early. But the bigger high profile teams Mississippi,
USC col getting all the money totals over in Florida,
over in Arizona, over in Iowa State, over in Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Over in Missouri. Those five just overs.
Speaker 4: Nothing towards the youngders heavy those five, the first three Florida, Arizona,
Iowa State zero under bets. Every bet is on the
over Tennessee, Vanderbilt probably ninety ten to the over, Missouri
Arkansas probably about eighty five to fifteen to the over.
So a lot of one sided total action NBA only
two sides stick out. Philadelphia minus three and a half,
Miami is ten and a half. And I heard there's
supposedly a bye order coming out on I think it's
a Sacramento getting eighteen against this whoever's playing the Spurs
that are getting like almost twenty points. I'm pretty sure,
they're gonna jump on that dog throughout the day later
in the day.
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I can see where you like that.
Speaker 1: In the NBA, big big underdogs, they are always gonna
be interesting, especially now that the Association is back Underwave VR.
We're gonna get you out of here pretty shortly because
we've got the guys from Full Court Press coming in
next and you have to get ready for the steam Room.
Let everybody kind of know what's going on with the
steam room right here the way you're talking YouTube channel yep,
right now. You don't have to be a subscriber. You
can just go right after this show right into yours.
Speaker 2: Or am I wrong? Is it at one pm?
Speaker 3: Second? Because I wanted that hour in between where I
can do some.
Speaker 4: More work, power rates, some more things, and acquire more information.
So ten o'clock specific one pm Eastern, we will be live.
Speaker 3: We'll go over all the college basks people up right now?
Speaker 4: Is the steam sheet also the UFC package, and I'm
putting together the College Basketball Pass with my first five
percent of the twenty twenty five twenty six season will
go off today on Saturday. So cheer that in big day.
Best luck to everyone today whether you follow or fate,
I hope you do some damage.
Speaker 3: Good luck, hel.
Speaker 2: Thanks Vire really quickly. Are you selling over on Sports
Memo as well? Are you part of this? And that's
for any play seven bucks? Do you have anything going
on over there?
Speaker 4: Yes, I put my four percents over there. If I
find a four percent, I throw that over there. You
know they have a one percentage their best bet there. Yeah,
I throw that up there. So as soon as I
confirm another play, that'll be over there. I take a
little pride in those. I'm again the first two I
didn't do well, but since then we've picked it up
and I try, but I make sure I have a
strong play. So as soon as I isolate one, go
over to Sports Memo. That'll be up as well. Those
are twenty five dollars plays up there. When I put
it up there, it's a usual. It's a twenty five
dollars play. But I'm putting it up there so you
get to get it for seven That's all I put
up there. The only stuff that will go up there
is four percent.
Speaker 3: That's see.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that is a hell of a deal.
Speaker 1: Get a best bet from any handicapper wager talk, picks
and parlays, winners and winers in sports Memo seven bucks
over at sportsmimo dot com. Love to hear that VR
is giving high, heavily discounted four percent plays.
Speaker 2: That's not what I want to hear as an owner,
but it is.
Speaker 1: What it is, all right, you are the best, have
a very profitable UFC NBA College Basketball Saturday, guys, I'm
gonna drop in this art disease or stuff first, but
I got to look through it. So we're going to
bring in the guys from Full Court Press. We're gonna
get right into the college basketball card Adam Trigger, Rob Veno,
Happy Saturday, gentlemen. This exhaustive list from art has just
exhausted me. So we're gonna get right into the comments
section from some of these guys. I want to see
if you guys agree on some of these plays as well.
We'll go right into it. Shane wants to know Texas
was two and a half. Not gonna lie saw this
one this morning. I thought, oh, that one looks fishy.
Who does not run to back the Texas Longhorns today
catching just a couple of points. I do not have
a rotation number don't forget guys, I need rotation numbers
here if you get the opportunity because I am on
my iPad that is keyboard list, so I cannot do
control f.
Speaker 2: Rob. You know I'll let you go first.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, guys, we had this game about three
weeks ago on this show. I think Adam played Texas.
I don't know if it was part of the parlay
leg that I know you recommended. It was kind of
a strange game. In the beginning. Nobody could make a shot.
Georgia had an early lead, but once Texas caught up,
it was lights out and they just extended margin, extended margin,
wound up winning pretty easily in that one. That was
the game, guys. If you'll remember, you know I was
talking a little bit about Sean Miller quotes at the time.
Sean Miller was extremely upset with texas tendency to turn
the ball over through a few expletives in there when
talking about his team and their inability to hang onto it.
They've straightened it out a little bit since then. They've
been better. Since then. They're not terrific handling the ball,
but they've been better. But now you have the revenge
angle for Georgia here, they just went stone cold in
that particular game. Like I say, they had the early lead.
It's possible here at home, and George is playing with
a little sense of desperation for sure. Obviously they're hopes
of even entering tournament discussion or slipping away pretty rapidly.
So I don't know if this season itself the length
of it at this time, if they're hitting a wall
third week of February or not. But if there's ever
a time to rally the troops, it would probably be today.
I'd be a little leery of Texas. I know some
fundamentals might point toward that direction, but second time around
and a poor shooting performance for a really high scoring
team the first time, I would kind of lean Georgia.
Speaker 1: All right, let's kick it over to the big twelve
year Adam rapid fire. Does Kansas bounce back and cover
the ten today versus Cincinnati. I do have the list
from Arches Caesar at the West States Superbook, and Kansas
minus ten.
Speaker 2: Is on that list.
Speaker 1: Treg This Darren Peterson drama's really just been like comical
for me as a Case State fan, right because Case
State's not doing the greatest in their own right from
a PR perspective right now, But do you think that
that even comes into play here? Does Bill self get
his team ready to bounce back here against a really
poor Cincinnati team?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we know Bill self can get his
team ready. They were able to get ready very quickly
and knock off Arizona without Peterson. I almost at times,
I feel like they play better team ball without him.
I actually don't think that that's like a crazy thing
to say. Obviously, he's an elite shot makers in NBA
caliber talent. When he's on the floor, he's gonna probably
be the focal point. But I just found that earlier
in the year, I felt like they were just kind
of looking at him to do things, you know, whereas
when he wasn't there. Against Arizona, it was just like
a total team effort. And they also locked in at
the defensive end in that game, which was something that
plagued them a little bit earlier in the season. At
home at Allen Field House today, Kel, do I think
they're worried about Cincinnati. No, I think that they probably
blow them out regardless. I don't think the Cincinnati team's
any good. They can't score West Miller's likely done at
the end of the year, so it could only be
Kansas here.
Speaker 7: I would lay the points with the Jayhawks.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: That might have been the fastest breakdown tricks ever.
Speaker 1: Had only had the opportunity to get one of these
art plays in, and I was like, oh, I got
a good three four plays I can lock in here.
All jokes aside, let's keep going. I did not post
sharp action. I was waiting to get to one thousand viewers. Guys,
this X not streaming to our different channels is really
hurting our numbers. So make sure you guys get that
like button. Give us some love in the comment section.
I promise I will drop arts sharp plays here very
very shortly. All right, here's one I feel like is
a Rovino esque. Does Colgate bounce back and cover the
eight and a half versus Loyola Maryland?
Speaker 5: Very possible? Okay for me, I'll make it simple with Colgate, obviously,
and I hope you can get enough plays in while
I try and help you out here. For me, Colgate's
really simple. They're a overteam total wise. For me, I
don't like to lay points with Colgate simply because the
defensive end. Isn't that good the loyal Maryland's side? Can
they keep pace? I'm not so sure, But I would
say this in my instance, because I only look at
Colgate from a totals perspective, I wouldn't have a strong
opinion on side other than I don't trust Colgate to
stop anybody. What I would say, as I search for
the rotation number here so that I can try to
make a take a stance on total.
Speaker 2: Here, I'll jump.
Speaker 1: Fifty is the current total, and I was just looking
at the art list and they bet want under one
fifty two sharp group, So this one's come down two
points on the total.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that move?
Speaker 5: Because it's loyal to Maryland, I can understand it, you know,
a tendency to slow the game down a little bit
Coldgate will have to make a lot of shots here.
Their team total as I'm staring here is seventy eight
and a half. Seventy nine and a half, maybe a
bit pricey against this particular team, loyal and Maryland. Loyal
and Maryland, excuse me, seventy and a half. Seventy one
and a half could see a little bit of under there.
But again I don't trust the Colgate defense. So I
apologize for not being able to answer on the side
because I just don't look at Colgate that way. But
total wise, looks like money's leaning towards the under trig.
Speaker 2: Do you have an opinion?
Speaker 7: You say, yeah, yeah, I mean you should be Colgate.
Speaker 5: You gotta come to me.
Speaker 6: That's that's right in Trigg's backyard here, Hamilton, New York,
twenty minutes from my house.
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 6: Colgate got put in a really bad scheduling spot earlier
this week. They play an overtime game with Navy, who's
the best team in this league. Probably could have won
that game if they shot, if they hit their free throws.
They go to ot and lose, and they get sent
out to Boston to play the national TV game on
Monday night. So the Patriot League really usually plays Wednesday Saturday,
but they will play the national TV spot six pm Monday.
That was a terrible scheduling spot, having to come off
the Navy game and then go out to Boston you
to play that game.
Speaker 7: They got destroyed. They're back at home today.
Speaker 6: Their one three one zone will probably force Loyola into
some threes, and Loyal is not the team that should
be just just be chucking threes on the road. So
I lean Colgate minus the points in this one. It
is a big number, but I do think they probably
cover it, and I think all of that supports the
move to the under because if they extend that zone
and Loyola can't hit threes, they're probably gonna lose.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, because you too, Colgate, I'm gonna kick
this one back because this is Rob Vino's backyard. On
water Talk today, what day was I on Wednesday? Must
have been Wednesday.
Speaker 2: I gave out Xavier.
Speaker 1: I said, this is gonna be interesting. I did not
think they were gonna win the game. Hour They're fifteen
and a half point underdog. I thought, like, what's going
on here? I mentioned that I thought Yukon was too
overvalued week in and week out right, and everybody's like, well,
they're not overvalued. They're eight and sixteen against the spreader
or whatever the guy put in the comment section on
wader Talk today, and I'm like, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: The bookmakers are still but.
Speaker 1: Now here we are and Yukon seems short here on Saturday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do. And there's a difference between being overvalued
and playing well but not being able to cover large numbers,
and laying large numbers and not even coming close to
covering those numbers. I put Michigan in the category of
being overvalued at the start of Big ten season, laying
a ton of points, winning big but just couldn't cover
because the numbers were substantial. Their team totals were substantial.
They'd score eighty nine and couldn't get over their number.
For Yukon spend a little bit different the entire season.
Right Other than about three instances, they've laid huge numbers
and not come close to beating inferior teams. We've talked
a lot about this on the Full Court Press show,
how weak the Big East is this year. They really
don't have anybody that's any good other than Saint John's Villanova.
Give Kevin Willard credit, he's done a lot with this
team in his first year. But Yukon's now back in
that price range where Michigan ended up. If you think
back about four or five games ago when they went
to East Lansing and all of a sudden, they're only
laying one and a half two and a half, and
now you can play Michigan and Michigan destroys Michigan State
in that game. Then of course Michigan comes back against Purdue,
same kind of story. Lower price range, Michigan covers pretty easily.
They can win and handle those numbers. I feel that's
the same for Yukon here today. Still, personnel wise, Yukon's
the far superior team. They have a one through nine
that you know for of these guys probably start for Villanova.
Danny Hurley's comments were interesting after the last lost to
Creighton where they gave up ninety one points, and Danny
Hurley said, I've got a bunch of really good man
to man defenders on this team, and they've gotten progressively
worse as the season goes on. Really good defenders don't
get worse, they just get lazy. So you wonder if
this team is going to answer the call of their
head coach or if they just you know, they roll
their eyes and say, you know, that's just coach talking.
I think they respond here, Connecticut's got to get up
on the horse. This is a time of year to
kick it into gears. So at this price range, cal
I do think Yukon's a pretty good played despite it
being on the road. They're not affected by any road venue.
And I just don't know that Villanova can hid enough
threes against this defense to be able to cover. So
I like you, Kanyer, all right, let's.
Speaker 2: Go to the sec seven oh six seven five seven six.
Miszoo is headed to Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Arkansas is down to nine and a half some spots,
especially at the super book minus one oh nine there
for college basketball on Saturday. By the way, Treg, talk
to me about this Arkansas team before you guys popped on.
Speaker 2: I was talking to VR. Alabama was my only loss
on Wednesday, and.
Speaker 1: I was like kind of frustrated by them because I
do think that they're a better team, but Arkansas exerted
a lot of effort trying to go into Tuscaloosa and
get that win here. Do you think maybe this is
a little too many points in which would be looking
at the Missouri Tigers.
Speaker 6: For me, No, I've been saying this for weeks. I
love this Arkansas team. I Rob and I have been
talking about this on the show. I think I've come
on this show and said it three four times that
they were just going to continue to get better as
the year went on. And I don't have the numbers
in front of me right now in terms of like
the run they're on against the spread, But the last
like three four weeks, they've been on a really good
run against the spread. They've covered most of these games. Yeah,
they could. You know, that was an incredible game earlier
this week. So if you want to make the case
that they just played, you know, this crazy overtime game
with Alabama and you know, a cuff score at forty nine,
played all those minutes and they maybe could let down,
I guess I can see that. But for me, like
I'm just not fading Arkansas at this point there, I mean, acoff,
This is the point Rob and I have made a
couple of times throughout the last couple of weeks. Any
other year, he is the freshman that's getting all the publicity.
He's the one that's being talked about. But he's in
a class with Boozer, with the band stuff with with
Darren Peterson, and I almost feel like, because he's down
in Fayetteville and Arkansas doesn't get quite the love that
some of these other schools get, that he's just not
getting the attention he deserves. Forty nine points earlier this week,
I'm just not betting against Arkansas, so you you're asking
the wrong person. If you're looking for an anti Arkansas breakdown,
it's razorbacks or nothing for me.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's fair. That's why we ask you the tough questions. Yes,
Kelly's gonna drop arch sheet. Kelly has about fourteen more
plays to put in for herself because she is selfish,
because she has to work Saturdays when all of her
family is at the beach. Yes, if you were two
in an earlier accidentally sit VR the link to the each
we're going to today versus Art Caesar's long List, I'll
drop it for you guys here pretty quickly. We are
only one hundred and fifty away from a thousand people watching.
We get a thousand people, give me some likes, give
me some loves in the comments section, and I got
you guys. I will be sure to drop it. Shout
out CT Bets and Merrimack. Last Night minus three and
a half. I have no idea how the hell we
got to cover that game, but I loved getting to
wake up to that winner. Speaking of CT, here is
a night Oh Memphis wants to know if you're going
to the Toledo game today, Treg.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 7: I'll be at Yale, though. I will be at Yale.
Speaker 6: And then I will be at New Jersey Institute of
Technology at night. If you are around in the I
guess Newark, New Jersey area. No, I just threw this
hoodie on because it was in my bag. But I
do kind of like Toledo today. I didn't know someone would.
Speaker 7: Ask about it.
Speaker 2: All right, Fine, tell us about Toledo today.
Speaker 7: Really more of a fade of Eastern Michigan.
Speaker 6: For me, Toledo's a team that that they're not as
good as they've they've been in years past. I would
say it's one of the more average teams kawal Chik
has had there. But for me, this would be just
a willingness to fait Eastern Michigan off of the They
finally won a game. They had a pretty substantial losing
streak in conference. They go out and I believe they
beat Central Michigan earlier this week, which is another just
disaster team in that league.
Speaker 7: The top of the MAX.
Speaker 6: Gotten a lot of publicity this year, with of course
Miami of Ohio and Akrons having a really good year.
But there are some bad teams at the bottom half
of this league, and I kind of think Eastern Michigan
is one of them. They hit the road, and Toledo's
been a team where if you're not if you can't
like really zone Toledo and force them into a bunch
of tough shots, they should score pretty efficiently, and I
think they're gonna do that here. They come off the
Bowling Green loss, which was last week, big rivalry game.
Those two schools maybe a half hour apart, and they've
had a week to prepare. You know, this is the
Toledo's lost three of their last four games, So the
number feels right here in the eight eight and a
half range. But this is one of those ones where
I just think you had Eastern Michigan finally win a
game earlier this week, Toledo's been sitting around all week
preparing for a home game against the team that they
really should just destroy. So this is a scenario where
I would just lay it with Toledo. Eastern Michigan had
something like nine straight losses ahead of the Central Michigan win,
and I think they're gonna get buried here, So lay
it with the Rockets.
Speaker 7: Probably a ten plus point win, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's kick it back over to Robbino Titans CT
rotation number six 't eighty five.
Speaker 2: Ohio is a.
Speaker 1: Six point favorite, but minus one thirteen, they're on the
Odds logic screen over Northern Illinois. Talk to me about
Mac the Mac right VR and I talked about his
power ratings earlier.
Speaker 2: He said, Okay, Miami Ohio.
Speaker 1: Ohio's undefeated. They're number twenty two in the nation. Get real,
it's still the Mac. They are not a top thirty
five power rated team. Talk to me, but about this
Ohio Bobcats team laying six.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would trust the Ohio offense in this one,
Kelly against the Northern Illinois sporadic offense. I mean, Northern
Illinois doesn't have all that much going for them, even
on the defensive end. Generally it's pace. It's a pace
controlled defense. In other words, they play defense by just
limiting possessions. But I think Ohio, you's got enough firepower
to speed it up a little bit here. So laying
this type of number in the Mac isn't easy because
it's such a conglomeration of middling, tight teams, and you
don't really trust a bunch of them as favorites. You
kind of look towards underdogs in this league. But in
this instance, I think Ohio you does have enough on
the offensive end to get them through a six point
number here, so I would look their way. I'd even
look their team total up and over in this one.
I don't think Northern Illinois provides a heck of a
lot of resistance in this game. So for me, I'd
agree with titan CT. I'm going to backtrack real quick
here for two seconds, because I was like the little
kid in the corner of the second grade classroom raising
his hand when Missouri and Arkansas came up. I'm just
gonna add real quick onto that Missouri Arkansas game. Quick
comparison here. Missouri had to win a few weeks back, guys,
where Mark Mitchell chucked in a three in overtime and
they had to go to Alabama the next game. Alabama
was home off of a loss. Thought that Missouri was
in a really bad spot going to Alabama playing that
type of extreme tempo. They got absolutely slaughtered. They go
to Arkansas today kind of under the same circumstances. Missoo
wins in ot against Vandy on earlier this week, eighty
one eighty in a kind of a miraculous win, and
now they go on the road to Arkansas. Was off
double overtime loss to Alabama. Again, extreme tempo type team.
I don't think Missouri does well with this type of team.
So I see the number coming down to nine and
a half. But to me, that's probably guys betting against Arkansas,
somewhat of a fatigue factor having to go double overtime
at home, and Bud Walton, I don't see it that way.
So just a little cop there for people looking at
the Miszoo Arkansaw game. It kind of shapes up is
the same thing as what happened to Missouri at Alabama.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just dropped this in exhaustive list in the
chat and somehow got an error message.
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're talking YouTube channel, because it's
that long.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try it again here, guys, and let
you know from Art to Caesar at the West Gates
Uberwook error occurred. YouTube is rejecting your comments. It thinks
it's spam. Okay, great, We're gonna work on that in
the back end.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, guy.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go through a couple more of these
treg I'm gonna see you up looks like a sharp group.
Bet Syracuse plus one Right now they are a one
one and a half point favorite on the Odds logic screen.
Let me know what your thoughts are here as far
as that goes. Do we miss the boat on the Orange?
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't really know why you'd want to
bet this team to have to win a game at
this point. Like, I get you and C's had some injuries,
but Syracuse basketball is in the worst place that I
think it's been in my lifetime. They had like this,
it's gonna get entirely blown up at the end of
this year. They're trying to hype this game up as
this was supposed to be so every year Syracuse, like
since we joined the I say we, but since Syracuse
joined the ACC, there's always been kind of like the
one big home game late in February that's like the
game because of course they killed all of Syracuse's natural rivalries,
leaving the big East that they try to get like
thirty k at the Dome and it's like the big deal,
and that's what they're trying to.
Speaker 7: Hype this up to be.
Speaker 6: It's not going to be that'll probably get twenty thousand.
It's it's it's just such a depressing state of the
program right now that I just don't know how you
could take them to like own like you have to
win the game. And North Carolina, even with a couple injuries,
it is still probably a better team than Syracuse. So
it's just like, I guess, like I can see both
sides here. You and s didn't look very good earlier
week against NC State, and of course they're missing two
of their better players. But Syracuse is just a bad
basketball team. They're poorly coached. Red Audrey will be gone
at the end of the year. They're going to completely
blow it up. Everyone knows that's gonna happen. So man,
it's just like you're you're asking for it, in my opinion,
to back Syracuse like Syracuse s Hays like a dog,
or against a true lesser team like the other day.
You know, they had a couple of back to back
wins against what I felt were true lesser teams. I
still don't know that UNC is that and U and
C should be up for this game after you know,
the last couple results. So yeah, I have zero interest
in this game. But I would like caution against thinking
Syracuse is a good idea because that program is in
a bad place right now.
Speaker 1: Kel maybe they will fire their coach with cause. Okay,
let's go into some more of these questions. I'm fine
CT that wants to know about the biggest game on
the board, at least in the Big Twelve, Houston is
taking on Arizona. I don't see this game on the
long listen, of course, right like the sharp groups aren't
betting these big marquee games, but everybody else wants to.
And I can promise you right now we should be
looking at this game to be maybe a preview we'll
call it of the Big Twelve Championship. Hopefully not for
my eras or excuse me, my Iowa state card. But
I could see both of these teams making a deep run.
In Attorney Robino, what say you, Houston? That is correct, Andrew,
it's starting to there's some six and a halfs popping
up on the Odds logic screen right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting because the Big Twelve is kind of
falling into Arizona and Houston's lap, right JT topping down
at Texas Tech. There goes their chances BYU Richie Saunders down,
there goes their chances and what you're left with his
Iowa State as you mentioned, and you know with Darren
Peterson checking himself out of games, who knows. Bill self
said that maybe their season goes down one of these
games in total because he just doesn't feel that he
can go anymore. So it's an interesting game. I'll say this,
I love Kelvin Samson in this type of spot. I
was surprised, very surprised. Commented on this yesterday and some
other show they opened five and a half Houston did.
I was like, man, I was hoping for like three
and a half against Arizona, but no, the the odds
makers aren't They open five and a half. But Kelvin
Sampson off a loss like what they had at Iowa
State the other night where they're up ten with about
four and a half to go and Iowa State makes
the comeback and wins the game. That's the kind of
spot where you want Samson. He's got the motivational aspect
here to get his team fired up. We know that
Arizona's a tremendous rebounding team and Houston's gonna match up
on the boards with anybody, So it takes away one
of Arizona's strengths. Houston on their home floor here look
toward the first half at five and a half, I thought, well,
maybe I'll isolate it and shave the price down and
play Houston first half, because that's been a thing for
a while. We talk about that constantly. I just feel
like they're the better side here in this particular spot.
You know, you come to this point in the season
and you find yourself playing a lot of these situational
plays and hope that the odds makers don't overprice things.
They may have overpriced this a little bit, but I'm
gonna say this about Arizona. Co O Pete still absent
for that team kind of hurts them on the boards.
I think Houston could take advantage, and they've got a
ton of scoring here, so I would look towards Houston
still at this price. I kind of understand the line
shifting upward in this game, and.
Speaker 2: I justly screwed up. Portland State is not Portland, so
go Portland. This is what I get.
Speaker 1: I usually Art sends it to me beforehand, shout out, Ski,
you're right for Houston. First half shout out to our
good friends Ski profit there. Okay, let's go through some
more of these questions that you guys have. Oh, there
we go, another big game on the board.
Speaker 2: Seven six. Duke being an underdog to Michigan Trigg.
Speaker 1: I know you don't do a lot with power ratings,
but you talk to a lot of sharp guys like
I do in terms of power ratings. And our good
friend Sean loves to tell us in the comment section
how much better Michigan is than everybody. But the art
told me Duke's still number power rated number one is
Michigan three. So that would mean Michigan's got a decent
home court advantage here. Talk to me about the the
blue Duke, Blue Devil's excuse me catching two and a half.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I feel like I do plenty with
power ratings.
Speaker 6: It's just I put less stock into it where it's like,
I know, you have some people that will just basically
spit out a rating and it's like, okay, my numbers here,
the market's here, that's going to be a play. I'm
factoring like a lot more. It just I'm waiting things differently,
I guess, is what I would say. So for a
power rating standpoint, I have Michigan rated ahead of Duke. Now,
this is on an usual court, this is a it
is a strain, right, Like, I think this might be
the new normal in seasons as we go forward, But
really haven't seen many of these where you step out
a conference to play like this massive non conference game
on a neutral court in the middle of February. I
will say that, like my number here kind of leans
towards Duke. I don't really think either of these teams
should be an underdog.
Speaker 2: In this game.
Speaker 6: I understand why someone would like Michigan. I like to
here's the thing, Kel, I think you can make a
really good case for both sides. For me, I think
if Duke can slow this game down, get some stops,
they're going to be right in it. So you know,
Cam Boozer is another one of these freshmen that's just phenomenal.
And again, in a different year, there's just so many
of them. I feel like in a different year he's
getting all the attention. This year he's had to share
the attention. But man, like I was at Cameron Indoor
last week, I feel like Duke sort of toyed around
with Clemson still won by thirteen, just destroyed like that
destroyed Syracuse earlier this week. And the reason that's relevant
is there was a point in time earlier this year
where I didn't feel like Duke was fully focused. They
were coming out and not beating these teams like the
Syracuses of the world by margin. They were coming out
and playing dad halfs against a team like Louisville. Duke
kind of looks locked in right now, and so for
that reason, neutral court, I do think Duke probably has
the majority of the fans here, although Michigan fans travel well.
So even if you call it fifty to fifty, you
got a team that's an underdog on a neutral court
that I just don't know that should should truly.
Speaker 5: Be an underdog.
Speaker 6: And that is like the razor thing, Like there's not
much difference between Like this is probably a final four game,
and as you know, cal you get to the final four,
it's really tough to like, you know, you can make
really good cases for both sides. I think the case
I'll make here is I've got this closure to pick.
So if they're going to give you a bucket with Duke,
maybe you should just take it. It should be that
kind of game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't blame you, and thank you for the correction.
They're neutral site game. Look, here's some of the things
I like to do, Robbino. I get notifications for John
Ewings tweets because I do think that BETMGM is a
square book, if you will, right. So when I look
on the Odds logic screen and you see the circas
of the world, you see the super books of the world,
and then you see BETMGM is off market, and you're going,
what am I missing here? The number one based on
money both bet team today Michigan minus two and a half.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was worth noting.
Speaker 1: The second Arizona State plus six and a half, the
third Kansas minus ten and a half.
Speaker 2: So is that anything that you ever like to look at?
Speaker 1: You know? Do you feel better when the public's against
you or is it just not something that you ever
pay attention to in your handicap.
Speaker 5: I'll say this, Keil, because it's a little of both.
It's not something I pay attention to. And I do
feel better when the public is all one way and
I'm the other, you know what I mean. So I
don't make a habit of incorporating it into a handicap.
But I will say that if the freight train is
going one way and every fifty dollars better is involved
and I'm the other way, then I'm feeling pretty good
about things we used to you know, back in the day,
we used to call that kind of the ESPN in effect.
By the time ESPN realizes it, it's too late. The
value is gone. And that's kind of the way you
feel in college basketball at this point in time that
people just starting to pay attention. So of those three
that you mentioned, it's interesting to me that they would
be on Arizona State against I guess Baylor's just flat
out untrustable Arizona.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry it was Arizona versus Houston.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, you know what to your point that
I'm happy I like Houston. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 2: Love to hear it.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that game pans out. I don't thin
I'm gonna get involved. I did drop arts card in
the chack eyes, and for some reason it kept glitching
out of me. So let me know if I need
to read those off or try to break it up.
Because it was so freaking long and no Sean, we
are not talking baseball. Trickle me back all summer long
as his punishment for being a giant pain in my
ass by doing total basis on Saturday for you guys.
So you guys can ask away all of the baseball
questions after April sixth.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your understanding. Let's see if there's some
more questions in the chat. I love to give.
Speaker 7: Don't now, don't forget. We got to do our We
still got a three team parlay to lock in.
Speaker 2: So oh yes, you're right, Uh, completely forgot about that.
Let's do Rhode Island. Let's sail and then full circle
it into your leg of the parlay. Good call, trig.
Speaker 7: Man. I gotta think if I want this to be
my lega the parlay, I just don't.
Speaker 6: I'll I won't commit to that just yet, because I
guess my thought process here is I don't think. I
don't know how Rhode Island pulled that off against Saint
Louis earlier this week.
Speaker 7: I mean, I just haven't.
Speaker 6: I've been out on the Archie Miller Rhode Island rams
for a while now, even going back to last season.
They've gotten worse last year to this year and they
it's not even like they were playing great ball, and
they step up in the home spot and beat Saint Louis,
something that you know, no other team in the Atlantic
ten was able to do to this point, and now
they have to turn around and go on the road
and play a team that that's probably comparative to them.
You know, they're right in the same like Rhode Island.
Lasal I think are actually pretty even if you want
to talk power ratings in the A ten. From a
power rating standpoint, yes, Rhode Island is six and seven,
Lasal's three and ten, But you start to get towards
the bottom of the A ten this year, it is
it is not great. That's a league that, you know,
not very deep this year. Once you get out past
like the fifth, sixth teams in that league, it's it's.
Speaker 7: Just a lot of bad teams. And that's kind of
what I see here.
Speaker 6: You know, LaSalle they've been better at home, but like
what I see is a basketball game between two bad teams,
Rhode Island having to go on the road, and suddenly
because Rhode Island sort of pulled off this win over
Saint Louis, which I think had more to do with
Saint Louis playing poorly than it did, Rhode Island just
being a team that we should now like look to
back because they got that win. They're like a four
point road favorite. So yeah, well I always to between
a couple things, but someone brought it up. Let's stroll
a sal in the parlay. I will not be at
all surprised if Rhode Island turns around and loses this
game and you're getting like four points to work with.
Speaker 7: Let's go with the Explorers today plus four, I think
for the parlay.
Speaker 1: All right, arts list basically helped me codify the fact
that this is a great spot for Kansas State. Rodveno
mentioned the injury to Texas Tech. I was on Arizona
State first half the other night, like late. I was like,
all right, let me just see Houston's excuse me, Texas
Tech off this huge win. Maybe they start off slow
and they ended up losing that game outright, So I'm
gonna take k State plus twelve here in a spot
where I think this team is wanting to show off
what they can for their future teams. Right, we all
know that most of these kids are going to transfer
after head coach Jerome tank was fired. But I do
think these kids want to play for Madris goal and
I'm just going to keep it very basic handicap. I
think this is still too many points for a Texas
Tech team who's not going to be fired up after
that Arizona State loss to play a very we'll call
it down Rowden case, a team who I think got
a really nice moral victory over Baylor the other night
there at home, and I think they carry that over. Yes, Sam,
they are a dumpster fire were I think we should
say we're a dumpster fire? So Kansas State plus twelve?
Did I spring a little bit on the money line?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: I did, because I'm still kicking myself for not sprinkling
on all the other money lines I.
Speaker 2: Missed this week.
Speaker 1: Rob Vino, give me your leg of the parlay, and
then we'll finish with the rest of your questions in
the chat.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll stay in my lane and play a
team total trigger like this. I'm going to go out
to the Big West and just play a team that
you know, We've talked a lot of Big West basketball
on the show so far this season, but Cal State
Northridge has been one of those that's been really good
to me all season long. This won't be one where
they're playing in front of their black background, which helps
the shooting, but it's one where I'm going to play.
Their team total over eighty and a half. Cal State
Northridge is on an absolute role at this point in time.
Tough break for Santa Barbara the other night when Northridge
beat down in ot But Northridge right now is on
a six game winning streak. But inside that six game
winning streak, guys six and zero team total over the
number all six times over what they're asking us tonight for,
which is eighty and a half. They've scored better than
eighty and a half six games in a row. Long
Beach State one of the middle to bottom tier defenses
inside this league this year, and there's a revenge angle
for Northridge in this game. They lost it home to
Long Beach State. At this point in time in late February,
you would say, how the heck did they lose to
Long Beach But they did earlier this year January seventeen,
eighty seven eighty home loss. Even in that game, in
a losing effort, they got to eighty. I think they
get to eighty one here fairly easily. You always have
to avoid Northridge foul shooting. They're just not good from
the free throw line, like under sixty one percent. But
they score enough. They play at a rapid enough pace.
They play these seventy eight plus possession games constantly. I
think it happens here again. Like I said, I don't
want to I do want to bet on a team
that's on a role like this, and especially a team
that can score in bunches the way they can. So
give me Cal State Northridge team total up and over
eighty and a half?
Speaker 7: All right, Rob, you know with the team, yes, real quick.
Speaker 6: I added lasal for clients, So I just want to
let people know I'm gonna give it on the show.
I let you know, so lasal plus four even if
you have to lay minus one fifteen minus one twenty,
So there's still fours out there. There's some four minus
one fifteen, even if you had to go as far
as the four minus one twenty or I mean three
and a half is probably fine too. I re sort
of pulled up my numbers. I make them a slight favorite.
And the more I just think about it, it's just
a horrible spot for Rhode Island.
Speaker 5: To turn around.
Speaker 6: You're getting two possessions with it in a game that's
very even, and now you've got Rhode Island.
Speaker 7: In a bad spot in the road. So yeah, lasal
client play. I just wanted people to know that.
Speaker 1: Perfect really quickly. I asked, we are the same question,
so I need to know for you guys. Do you
guys have a play up on Sports Memo right now?
Any expert, any play? Just seven dollars?
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: He was put up as four percent plays over there,
and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, Like,
I think we may need to back that up. I
don't want to give it out four percent places for
seven dollars, you know, Do either one of you guys
have anything over on Sports Memo.
Speaker 5: Mine is going to be up as soon as we
end here, Kel, I've got four up aol of ready.
I'm going to shift one of those four over to
Sports Memo to night game so it'll get a little
bit of show life, which makes the top half of
the organization happy when you have extended showf life. But
that's where we're gonna go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sweet love to hear that, Treg. Treg, are you
in trouble.
Speaker 6: Well, I just gave the one that was going to
go to Sports Memo for free. So I mean it's
just like what you you know, can't hold out on
the chat we're talking about the game. I mean I
would have I would have added that.
Speaker 7: So I've got two plays locked in right now.
Speaker 6: The beauty of Saturday actually is I don't even know if,
but it's almost like the struggle when it comes to Saturday.
You have a lot of opinions, a lot of games
I typically kind of add throughout the day. So right
now I've got two plays, both four percenters ones up
on the wager Talk site. The other I just gave
you on the show, and they're both kind of early,
so I found I've had better success kind of like
revisiting some of the later games.
Speaker 7: If I love something later.
Speaker 6: I'll lock it in obviously early, but the first the
next thing I play, we'll go to the Sports Memo site,
So yes, there will be something there at some point.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 1: All right, a lot of guys are saying they still
didn't get this list. I'm gonna try to get this
art list in that nope, nope, kick is saying they
hate me, and I'm spamming. Oh did go out on
YouTube this time?
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's kind of go in here and see if
we got any more questions. Here we go, let's ask
Andrew this was one that Robbino dressed for the occasion.
Baylor seven and a half point favorite here coming off
that CA State loss?
Speaker 2: How do you think they respond today?
Speaker 5: Veno, Yeah, I said when I said earlier, kill about
Arizona State, just because you know, again situational third week
of February, type plays Arizona State. So up that huge
win that you talked about with Texas Tech. Straight up,
win the first half, win the full game. Now travel
to Baylor, and you know the thought process here it
opened at like five and a half, So maybe values
go on at this point in time at seven and
a half. Literally, the counter to anything I say in
favor of Bailor would be, well, rob how do you
trust Baylor laying seven and a half to anybody? And
that's you know, taken obviously taken pretty well. But I
just thought Arizona State's still not a great rebounding team,
not that Baylor's the best. I feel like Arizona State
extended themselves the other night in that victory against Texas
Tech kind of celebrated off of it. Bobby Hurley kind
of reaffirmed to himself that he's a great coach that
can go toe to toe with anybody in the Big twelve.
And that's kind of stuff kind of you know, feels
like cloud nine to me coming into a game against
Baylor where they're just in desperate need of a win.
They're not the most trustworthy team, and maybe not at
minus seven and a half, but I would look there way,
I'll leave Saint Bonbi Detrigue, so he has a little
a ten basketball to talk about. But again, I think
it would be more of a fade of Arizona State
than it would be a play on Baylor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that as well. It seems like
a like a like you almost want to back Arizona
State there. I did not see if they were on
that long list. Trigg, go ahead and talk to me
about Saint Body's plus.
Speaker 2: One and a half.
Speaker 6: It's another team in my neck of the woods that
is having a disaster of a season, But theirs is
more just like I think they they've been a little bit.
They've been as much unlucky as they've been just not
very good. That being said, they got to go to
Richmond tonight, and you know Richmond's been unlucky. I was
at Richmond last weekend. They came all the way back
from down twenty against VCU after they did not get
a call all first half. I think they cut it
to two or three and fell just short. And the
same thing kind of happened earlier this week. I actually
hit a five percent play on Wednesday with Richmond plus
five and a half.
Speaker 7: Same thing.
Speaker 6: Could just not figure it out early, dug themselves a
huge hole. They come all the way back to take
a lead in that game and they fall short. This
is at the Robin Center tonight, six pm. I kind
of think Richmond gets it done. But the problem with
Richmond is they take a lot of threes and they're
a high variance team. So if the threes are falling,
the outside shot is falling, they probably win this game
pretty easily. If it's not, it's a game the Bonnies
can win. And ultimately, for me, there wasn't enough wiggle
room on the number. Although I did see Saint Bonaventure
take a little money, so I would be willing to
play back at that It's not something I've played yet,
but if I was going to play it, now that
the Bonnie's got hit, it looks like by someone it
was two and a half down to like one and
a half, I would only play back and play Richmond there.
Speaker 7: I just think they're the better team.
Speaker 6: They're playing harder, and if the threes are falling, they
could they could run Saint Bonaventure out of the arena.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk to Robino really quickly because we've
got a nice promotion for you too, with the Full
Court Press show. Rob tell me about Full Court Press.
For anybody that hasn't seen the show, it's been absolutely
crushing on the wager Talking YouTube channel. Really awesome to
see a daily college basketball show. And then what you
guys have up for a special over at wager talk
dot com.
Speaker 5: Yeah, real quick, on the show Kelly. Monday through Friday
over on wager Talk TV. You can catch Adam and
myself ten am Eastern Time, two eleven am Eastern Time,
sixty minutes each and every day, five days a week.
And then of course the forty five that we do
here with Kelly on Saturday, kind of an extension of
the show, but Basically, we open with one featured play
likely to be the top national game of the day,
will dissect it, and then we just open it up
to the chat. Your guys questions, will answer them game
that you want to hear about, we'll give you our
handicapping process on that particular game. So it's been fun.
We've got a really good chat. Guys are very knowledgeable
in there, and we love the donations. I'll let Adam
chime in on the donations because they seem to donate
to us quite a bit on that show. As far
as specials are concerned, the Full Court Press three day
special I think is still in effect. It's been in
effect for quite a while. Now three days, get all
of the plays Adam releases, all of the plays I release.
That includes any five percenters. I always say it's a
good mix because Adam plays ninety nine percent sides. I
play ninety nine percent total, so you get a little
mix of both. I think it's a fifty nine dollars
price for three full days. Now we have a Full
Court Press season special. Double the CBB Firepower for the
entire season through the National Championship game. Get the combination
of both of us for I think it was three
fifty nine. I saw this morning three fifty nine for
both of our plays throughout the National Championship and all
the little tournaments to go with it, n it, et cetera,
et cetera, that crown thing that they play in Las Vegas.
But we're big on little schools, so we'll be there.
We'll have action on it. So once again, double the firepower,
double the CBB firepower. Either a three day package for
fifty nine or full season package right now, both of
us combined for three to fifty nine.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it, love it. You guys have been
doing such an excellent job over there.
Speaker 1: Adam, I will give you one minute and then I'll
give Veno a last minute.
Speaker 2: What was one game today that narrowly missed your card?
Speaker 1: Tell me why it missed your card, and you know,
maybe why somebody else should be taking a look at it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we can do that. So narrowly miss my card
later today may still get added. I'll be at this game.
Speaker 6: It's Vermont at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Why did
they barely miss well? I was kind of hoping for
where it opened three to three and a half. It's
up to four and a half. Maybe nj T will
take money. Why do I like it, because they just
kind of think that this is where Vermont like flexes
their Vermont muscles, if you will. They're always the best
team in this league. This year, they just got blown
out by UNBC on Thursday. They are looking up in
the standings at NJIT and UNBC, like you just never
see that. Maybe Vermont just isn't as good this year
and they weren't last year. But they still have argued,
you know, one of the best players in the league,
and y'alled in, and I still think they have the
majority of the talent. Maybe UNBC has more, but certainly
New Jersey Institute of Technology does not have more talent
than Vermont. So it's one of those things where you know,
NJIT has had just the best start in the history
I believe of their program, certainly that I can remember.
I don't ever remember New Jersey Institute of Technology having
a season like the one they're having this year. But man,
I think they catch Roman at the wrong time. They
just got slapped around by UNBC the other night. I
think they're rolling to Newark a little bit upset tonight.
And if that's the case KEL four might be a
little cheap, so I, yeah, that's one that narrowly missed
my card, but I am considering it.
Speaker 7: Vermont will call it minus four and a half. I
think that's where it.
Speaker 3: Is right now.
Speaker 2: All right, it just hit Nune.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to keep this going here really quickly
because I'm going to tweet out arts card as well.
So for some reason, you guys didn't get it on
one of our channels, it will be on my ex
Raveno narrowly missed your card. What is one game that
maybe people should take a second look at, or maybe
you can talk them off of betting a side that
you almost bet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to take a look at it now,
Kel because it's gonna tip. But Virginia Tech just missed
my card today. They're gonna be a They're a noon
time start. They probably just tipped. But play wake Forest
here because of what happened in the middle of the week.
Wake Forest really good against Clemson Virginia Tech. Another tough,
tough loss for Virginia Tech coming home with a little
bit of a revenge angle here against wake Forest. I
wanted to play Virginia Tech in the worst way, but
they're just not good enough or reliable enough to lay
the points with. You know, I was hoping for a
little bit less. Didn't get it at the time it
was four and a half. That's why I didn't play.
I see now it's been bent down a little bit
of wake fores money come in. But that was the
one that really I was pretty gung ho, to tell
you the truth, last night when the openers came out,
I've got to play Virginia Tech. Looked into it a
little deeper, paused, and you know what happens when you pause,
you kind of lose. It went up to five, and
then I said, I just scratched it. And now, of
course at this part is range, I probably could have
played it all right.
Speaker 1: I finally got my last beat in Mississippi Valley. I
was able to get a wopping nickel on right before tipoff.
Speaker 2: Will take it.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Rob Vino, Shout out to Adam Trigger,
Shout out to recapt to recap the.
Speaker 2: Kansas State, cal State Northridge team.
Speaker 1: Total over lesal. That is our parlay for today. We've
gone two out of three too many times.
Speaker 2: I was a loser. Trigg was a loser. And I
think Veno has actually been perfect on this.
Speaker 1: I think I think I finally hit one last week
when Trig was gone and then Maine did not help
us out.
Speaker 2: But we want to try to go three and oher
this weekend for you guys. Again.
Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody hanging out with us through the
technical issues on X and for some reason it not
