up with Kelly in Vegas in New York as we speak,

but Ariel will be back next week. But we've got

through Friday at noon Eastern on wager Talk Today, but

19
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:45,880
we get him in a little bit earlier on Saturdays

20
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,759
at eleven am Eastern. Greek. What you got going on today?

21
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:53,719
Speaker 3: All right, early early, early action. Here's what we're looking

22
00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:58,079
at w NBA total. We got a WNBA total six

23
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:01,960
oh seven LA New York over over one seventy four

24
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,519
and a half. And then strictly baseball, here's what we're

25
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:09,040
looking at their nine to fifty seven Mets at even money,

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,239
nine fifty six, Saint Louis minus one thirty five, nine

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,680
sixty one A's plus one seventy nine, sixty three under eight,

28
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:27,120
Cleveland KC nine sixty six, LA Angels plus one thirty nine,

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,599
seventy over nine, Tampa Bay Cincinnati nine seventy one, Atlanta

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,840
at even money. Multiple groups hit Atlanta, and that's opposite

31
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:40,280
where I'm seeing public money. And same thing with where

32
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,319
was it nine to eighty Boston minus one thirty five,

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,359
Boston minus one thirty five, So plenty of sides and

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840
a couple totals as well. A lot of those got

35
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:54,519
hit overnight, some follow through this morning, but real quickly

36
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:58,599
wanted to share five series bets that we placed right

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,840
before first pitch. In fact, I think I was only

38
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,280
able to release two of these two subscribers because we

39
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:06,799
have like a ten minute window, and a few of

40
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,800
these came in with like six seven eight minutes before

41
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:10,439
first pitch.

42
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: But here's what we took.

43
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:14,759
Speaker 3: We took the A's at plus one ninety five two

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,680
days ago. That series is all but one. They're up

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,520
two games to nothing, so the worst we could do

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,879
there is push.

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: We have Miami in.

48
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: That series plus two sixty. They won game one. We

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,080
have the White Sox plus two thirty in that series.

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560
They won game one. I know, I sent that to subscribers.

51
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:36,439
We have Minnesota minus one eighty five. They also won

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,879
game one. And then we took the Yankees right before

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,960
first pitch. They bet the Yankees at plus one oh

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
five and even money, and the Yankees last night in

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680
game one. Usually when they bet a series bet, they

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,840
don't unload game one as well, but yesterday they came in,

57
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,599
like I said, on the Yankees and the Yankees Game one,

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,159
and more importantly, it was opposite heavy public money. Philadelphia

59
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,439
was one of the most one sided bit games. Philly

60
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,400
and Over was the parlay of the night, so that

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,840
that game really rocked the books, really hurt them. If

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,080
it wasn't for the sharp money opposite that that would

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,319
have really stung. But like I said, the Sharps helped

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,879
eliminate some of that risk. But those are five series

65
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,639
that we are looking to cash. Four dogs A's, Miami

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,800
White Sox, Yankees, and a favorite Minnesota Again.

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,199
Speaker 2: So far, so good.

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: Well, they're all up at least one nothing except for

69
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:33,639
the Yankees.

70
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because some of those you mentioned, the A's,

71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,360
especially the White Sox, I think, are six and one

72
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:40,439
since the All Star break. So some of these ugly

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,520
ducklings are playing really good here out of the break.

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,759
And we often see, you know, a bye week in

75
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,199
the NFL or a break in college football or baseblay

76
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:48,840
not can I be a kind of a momentum killer

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,759
or yep, an opposite effect. So I think that's been

78
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,840
very interesting to see. And I love how you mentioned

79
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,680
we got a little bit of a sharp square divide

80
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:59,080
in that Braves Rangers game, and as you know, NFL

81
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:00,919
right around the corner. Look for that all the time

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,560
with my fade the public info, whatever the public is

83
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:05,400
on once on the sharps on the other it's always

84
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,479
something that catches your attention.

85
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:07,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

86
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: I also you know what I really like it what

87
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,759
has done well for me historically when the public and

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,520
I don't just you can't just fade the public and.

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,079
Speaker 1: Make it money.

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,519
Speaker 3: You know, you're not getting eleven to ten like the

91
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,680
sports books, and long term, you bet someone off the street,

92
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,160
they're gonna go fifty to fifty, you know, more or less.

93
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:27,399
But there are those times it can tell you a

94
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,759
lot when you add in the market read on it,

95
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:33,759
the line movement and then the exits and o's line up.

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,879
And the most success I've had is when I see

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360
the betting public is confirmed to be on a dog,

98
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,680
heavily on a dog, especially when it's a point spread sport,

99
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,040
and they're taking them on the money line, like they

100
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,839
don't even think they need the points. When I see that,

101
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:52,000
and I see a lot of those money line parlays

102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,279
where there's that one dog and it's also the dog

103
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,920
getting bet by the points and the sharps are opposite,

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,160
those usually do the best because you know, historically we

105
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,959
tend to see sharps more on dogs and unders. But

106
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,240
when you see them take a strong position on a

107
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,600
favorite and opposite is the public on the dog and

108
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:14,079
betting the money line, those are usually gold. I like

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,959
betting those looking looking for a reason to back that favorite.

110
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk more about that. I mean, the NFL

111
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,199
is only about a month and a half away. They

112
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,600
have Actually ESPN today is running the training camps all

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,519
day long. I had that earlier. Every like twenty minutes,

114
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,160
you're going to a different camp so you can follow

115
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,360
your favorite team. I totally agree with you. I've always

116
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,879
said my NFL, fade the public information. Use it as

117
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,879
a filter. Right, It's one of the thirty different aspects

118
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,959
you're using when you're handicapping, And those are the exact

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
filters I like as well. Greek is that public underdog

120
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:42,680
ding ding red flag alert? You know you hear me

121
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,079
say it all the time. We're going to fade those

122
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:47,079
public dogs. They don't happen often. And same thing when

123
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,800
the public is heavy on and under For the same

124
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,639
reasons you just mentioned, I don't look as much with

125
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,680
totals with information for public stuff. But yeah, the public

126
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,319
likes favorites in the over, so when they're on a

127
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,800
dog or an under it catches your attention. And what

128
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,360
I like about that also is that you're getting a

129
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,199
quality team when you're fading the public in that situation.

130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

131
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,519
Speaker 2: And that's another that's another filter we'll talk about is

132
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,759
avoid the crap teams, right. I mean, that's what makes

133
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,399
it fifty to fifty long run is if you just

134
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,199
throw out those twenty percent of the fel teams that

135
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,160
just go oh for O for oh for for weeks

136
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,399
in a row, like the Panthers a couple of years ago,

137
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,800
the Texans a couple of years and ago until they

138
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,160
turned it around. I don't like to play bad teams,

139
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,480
and I'd love to fade the public with good teams

140
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:25,360
whenever possible.

141
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,759
Speaker 3: Great point, great point, And I want to talk on

142
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,240
a comment real quick. And I love what Robert s wrote.

143
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,160
He said, and it's so true. The public has more

144
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480
info now than ever before at their fingertips. That's that's

145
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:41,439
so true that the problem is that the books also do.

146
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,959
They also have access to that information. But more importantly, Robert,

147
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:50,040
here's what we know. This is factual that prior to

148
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,439
the influx of recreational betters, prior to the legalization of

149
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,680
sports betting in the United States, in pretty much every state,

150
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:04,399
we know that ninety nine percent of sports betters had

151
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:07,600
negative lifetime earnings. Like all sports betting accounts that have

152
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:13,079
ever been opened, ninety nine percent of those had negative results. Okay,

153
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,079
now now with it legal, ten years later, with it legal,

154
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,839
with information in everyone's fingertips, with social media, with all

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,319
that access, there's actually less winners. We now know that

156
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,759
it's a half a percent are actually profitable. Dave Mason,

157
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Actually I had them on my podcast and when I said,

158
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:35,600
is it's still about one percent, he said, no, we're

159
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:39,439
down to about a half a percent of accounts are profitable.

160
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,240
So we have more betters than ever before, more information

161
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:47,639
than ever before, and yet the losing has increased, it

162
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,120
hasn't decreased. And a lot of that has to do

163
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:55,079
with just searching out bad bets, like taking worse money

164
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,199
lines than ever before, where they're laying to lay more

165
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,079
juice me and you talk about that all the time.

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,480
They're willing la minus one twelves minus one thirteen's instead

167
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,240
of even minus one ten that takes a toll. They're

168
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:08,160
willing to do all those parlays and same game parlays

169
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:13,519
and all that negative ev stuff that they keep promoting

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,399
and showing those tickets for five dollars winning one hundred thousand,

171
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,160
And I think that's one of the reasons why the

172
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:23,480
results have gotten worse, not better. Even though there's more

173
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:27,800
information and betters are more astute and savvier and sharper

174
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:32,600
than ever before. It hasn't produced any type of positive results,

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,039
and it just goes to show you we are not

176
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,120
very good at practicing what we preach. Most of us

177
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,440
know what the sharp stuff is. Most of us know

178
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,799
not to take bad numbers, not to over bet our edge,

179
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,879
not the chase, not the bet for action. Most are

180
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,720
sharp enough to know these things. Can you follow through?

181
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,799
That's the difference. Do you have the discipline to follow through?

182
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440
And obviously from the results, it seems like most aren't

183
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,039
following through. We hear it enough, we know what to do,

184
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,639
we know what's sharp and what's square, but for some

185
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,000
reason we continue to place negative v bets and the

186
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840
numbers don't lie. I wish it were different, but it

187
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,480
just isn't.

188
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: That's fascinating with bet online because that's a sharp book.

189
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:19,000
They don't discourage sharp action, so for them to have

190
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960
less than one percent winners, it's pretty remarkable. But I'll

191
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,600
also go to what I was going to say is

192
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:25,639
that the lines are also sharper and more accurate than

193
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:28,440
they've ever been in our lifetime, and bet online has

194
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,039
very sharp numbers because they take sharp action, right, so

195
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600
their number, you know, And I'm sure Johnny Detroit's in

196
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720
the chat. He always talks about scalping, how he win.

197
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,120
He always loses the pinnacle, beats all the other books

198
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:40,639
and gets limited. I would guess long term, if you're

199
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,600
scalping with the bet online numbers two, you're gonna probably

200
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,840
end up winning elsewhere more than there. But that's the problem,

201
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,559
you know. I mean, just even twenty years ago, you

202
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,240
and I could get a three point middle in every

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,559
college basketball game, or you know, during the day it

204
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,679
was free pickings. You didn't even have to handicap. You

205
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,320
could just play the best number on the board every

206
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,879
day and win. You've talked about this. If you pull

207
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:01,000
up Odd's logic right now with the free wager talk

208
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,519
Live Odds, you know best, you're gonna see a couple

209
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,279
of cent difference. And then, as Johnny Detroit pointed out, two,

210
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,159
a lot of these books have twenty thirty cent lines

211
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,120
now on baseball, which makes it even more difficult. So

212
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,480
you're right, the information is now available, and you know

213
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,679
this leads under the preseason, which is right around the corner.

214
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:17,759
When I started in nineteen ninety six, it was about

215
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:20,759
getting the information. Now it's about what you do with

216
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,879
the information, because within one click of a mouse, you

217
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:25,039
know the quarterback rotations and everything else that's going to

218
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,799
happen in the game.

219
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the market has become more efficient, and it's

220
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,960
an efficient market. And that's what the definition is. An

221
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,200
efficient market's one that continues to correct itself. And that's

222
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480
what we've seen me and you've talked about it with baseball.

223
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,480
When I first came to Las Vegas, I never saw

224
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,559
a total below seven.

225
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: It didn't matter.

226
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,519
Speaker 3: I know, I sound like a broken record, and I

227
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440
talked about Mattox verse Martinez and it was still seven

228
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:49,080
under Juice minus one thirty minus one forty. But they

229
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,080
didn't go to six and a half.

230
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,799
Speaker 1: They didn't go to six.

231
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:52,159
Speaker 3: They didn't go to five and a half.

232
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: Now they do.

233
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: Now you see that that's a market correcting itself, making

234
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:59,919
it harder to win. You never saw NFL totals about fifty.

235
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000
In fact, when I first moved here, when I was

236
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,799
a runner on the strip, I was told if I

237
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,960
saw a casino posting above fifty on an NFL total,

238
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,960
to take the under. It was almost never because remember,

239
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,480
like you touched on. They didn't copy each other's lines.

240
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,799
You could get a two to three point middle very

241
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,879
easily by just shopping, by just moving around. You can't

242
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:21,960
do that anymore. You can't cross the street and get

243
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,399
a two point difference. You could do that back in

244
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120
the past, and that would happen. And if you saw,

245
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,279
you know, one casino that was getting peld into an

246
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:31,519
over that they went to fifty one or something fifty

247
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,519
one and a half fifty two, you could bet the

248
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:34,480
under because you.

249
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,799
Speaker 1: Almost never saw that. You know, now you.

250
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:40,279
Speaker 3: See fifty six is fifty sevens in the NFL. Like

251
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,120
they've gotten a lot more efficient, that's for sure.

252
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you and here I'll leave it at this.

253
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,039
But here's what's so crazy about all of this is

254
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,440
the lines are more accurate, more efficient than they've ever been,

255
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,679
but the prices are getting worse. It should be the

256
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,039
other way around, right, I mean, Barbary Coast is giving

257
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,399
five cent baseball lines twenty twenty five years ago when

258
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,559
the numbers were softer, and now I'm looking at the

259
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,480
live eye screen right now. I mean it's hard to

260
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,320
find a ten cent baseball line, and a lot of

261
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,720
these are twenty twenty five cent splits. That's what's so

262
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,120
criminal about it.

263
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,879
Speaker 3: Makes it so much harder to beat, and enough recreational

264
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:11,480
betters don't talk about it again.

265
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,519
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to go along.

266
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: I know we got a great lineup of guys coming

267
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,360
on to share a lot of information, but we see it.

268
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:16,519
Speaker 1: Man.

269
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: I walk through the blackjack everything six to five blackjack. Now,

270
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,639
everything's continuous shuffle. Why because they're still playing.

271
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,919
Speaker 1: The tables are still packed.

272
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: I walked through the casino last night.

273
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: You could consider it.

274
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: A blackjack table. Every single one was six to five blackjack.

275
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:32,679
Every single table on the floor was continuous shuffle. But

276
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,399
with every seat taken. If the market's willing to take

277
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,919
the worst of it, they're going to keep giving us

278
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:37,559
the worst of it.

279
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: Right, If someone's going to pay more for something, they're

280
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,240
gonna charge you more. Why wouldn't you exactly.

281
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,159
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you. I don't blame the books. I blame

282
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,600
us the market willing to bet into those books.

283
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: So the takeaway here for all you viewers out there,

284
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,360
and I consider the way you talk viewers sharper than

285
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,159
the average sports better is don't give in find an

286
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:55,080
account that gives you good odds, find a bet online,

287
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,279
find somebody else that's give you a fair ten set line,

288
00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:01,279
and don't let this misspricing continue. Hopefully, as you know,

289
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,279
we'll get to a betting market at some point and

290
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,879
let me know when you're ready to get that, Johnny,

291
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,519
I'm on board with you. You'll be the first investor. I

292
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,159
think we're still a little ways away, though. Yes, what

293
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,799
do you got going on? Steam room? What else you

294
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:12,200
got going with?

295
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we knocked that out yesterday because today's early UFC.

296
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
It goes off in about forty five minutes.

297
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: Right early UFC card, Yeah, tell us about it starts Yep.

298
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a UFC package up. I believe I

299
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,240
got five or six plays in there already. I'm still

300
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,360
handicapping the cards, still getting good information coming in a

301
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,080
lot of the info. Like I said, most of the

302
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,879
biggest betters the betting city gets that do MMA. A

303
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:34,360
lot of their stuff comes in late because of the limits.

304
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,279
So you should be getting more plays over the next

305
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,240
forty five minutes. But I'll give something out real fast,

306
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:42,240
real here for you guys for free. First fight of

307
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:46,279
the night. Uh Cheka and Martin Buddhay sharp money came

308
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:49,240
in and Buda yesterday at a plus about plus one

309
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,919
two thirty all the way down about plus two ten.

310
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,879
They took the Boodai side made sense. This is a

311
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,720
debut for Bucheka. He's a bjjace, but he's never fought

312
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:02,679
in the UFC. He's only got I MMA fights. All

313
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,879
of those are wins in the first round except the

314
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,519
one loss that went through a decision. But he's a

315
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,960
Brazilian jiu jitsu ace.

316
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,639
Speaker 1: I mean he's got.

317
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:12,799
Speaker 3: He's won every kind of title you can on the mat.

318
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,799
With that said, Boudaia's got that UFC experience, so I

319
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:18,320
can understand why the Sharps took Boodai. I like Boudaie

320
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,840
as well slight lean there at plus money, but I

321
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,240
think the under at plus money also offers some value,

322
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,679
even if the minus one ten under one and a half.

323
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:31,600
I think either Bucheka gets him out of there quickly

324
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:34,440
by able to sub Bouda, or boud I shocks him.

325
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: He gets him out.

326
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: Of there quickly, but Bouchecka is not built to really

327
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,360
go past seven and a half minutes. I think this

328
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,879
fight ends quickly. It's heavyweights as well, but Boudin not

329
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,320
being a finisher gives us a little bit added value.

330
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,679
That's why we're getting it at even money. So I

331
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:51,240
think there's worst case that happens is a split. You

332
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,759
take boudaie plus two hundred to ten or better to

333
00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,559

00:14:57,639 --> 00:15:00,879
go to and zero. But there's some UFC start the

the Ladies Man, talk some wn B A and Ronald Man.

364
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:13,919
I don't follow the WNBA too close, but went today's

365
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:15,440
game three years ago when we were all out there

366
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
in Vegas for the Way to Talk get together and

367
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,960
it was one of the better sporting events I've ever

368
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,759
been to. How far they have fallen though? Huh? What

369
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960
they lose by like forty or something last night? So

370
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,200
what's going on with the ass? So just the loss

371
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,759
of some players, I guess.

372
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think the whole chemistry issue, that's

373
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,559
something I think that the players, they just don't play

374
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,759
well with each other. They brought in, you know, Juwel Lloyd,

375
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,480
they lost Plumb, they lost you know, they lost a

376
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,399
lot of depth, and their their bench is not that great.

377
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,960
I mean they lost even the young young players that

378
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,080
they brought in during their time when they were pretty good,

379
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:52,399
like Martin and all that stuff, they all they're all gone.

380
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,600
So they have a bunch of older people and I

381
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,679
don't know, it just it just seems like they're they're

382
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,960
not vibing the way they should be with the names

383
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,960
on the court that they have. So it's tough to

384
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,319
see them struggling. But I think the rest of the

385
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,559
league also, it's not them getting that much worse. I

386
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:11,359
think the rest of the league is getting a lot better.

387
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,960
So it's credit to the whole league getting better.

388
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty one point loss last night in Minnesota is

389
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,599
a ten point dog. Let's look at the two games tonight.

390
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,000
First one goes it's seven Eastern. We've got Los Angeles

391
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,039
at in New York. A little bit of money coming

392
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:26,960
in on the underdog here. It opened its eyes eleven

393
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,920
and a half. It's now down to ten and a half,

394
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,759
even some nine and a halfs. It's literally dropping as

395
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,519
we're doing the show live here on Saturday morning. Total

396
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:35,359
has been bumped up a little bit from one seventy

397
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,200
four and a half to one seventy five. Big total

398
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,039
in this game, though, so big points spread with a

399
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:40,039
lot of points expected.

400
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this one. I think I can see why

401
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:44,960
they're going towards the sparks here. They're on a four

402
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,640
game winning streak and then this dates back to right

403
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,799
before the All Star break. This is also their third

404
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:52,960
straight game on the West Coast, so some travel could

405
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,519
be some travel fatigue there. Liberty, they're on a five

406
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:58,680
game winning streak. This is actually their eighth straight home game.

407
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,440
They haven't played on the road since last since June,

408
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,279
so all of this month they've been at home so far.

409
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480
But this is also the second leg of back to

410
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,720
back games for them, so potential issues there. I believe

411
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,759
some of their players hit thirty minutes yesterday. I think

412
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,359
it's Stewey, Sabrina, Phoebish all, you know, key players in

413
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,039
their in their rotation that played heavy minutes. So we

414
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:25,200
could see them with some some type of minutes restriction

415
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:27,519
in this one, because I mean, obviously, if you look

416
00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:29,519
at the total, it seems like there's not gonna be

417
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:32,039
a lot of defense played in a faster pace. So

418
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,960
this might be a situation where you know, you get

419
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,880
the bench going in with Marine Johannes who can run

420
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,960
and play a little bit of faster pace. So I

421
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440
can see why the total also went up. From a

422
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,400
trend perspective, if you look at the Liberty nine four

423
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,839
one ats at home ten and four to the under

424
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,880
one of the best defensive teams in the league, also

425
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,119
one of the most efficient offenses as well, so you

426
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,319
can see why those trends make sense. The last time

427
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,319
they played on the second lego back to back games,

428
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:04,400
though they did win and cover eighty five to sixty

429
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960
three as eight and a half point road favorites, that

430
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:08,480
total went under as well.

431
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: But if you look at.

432
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:13,839
Speaker 4: The Sparks side, it's whole opposite, just all offense, no defense,

433
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,799
fast paced on the Sparks side when you know all

434
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:20,079
their opponents are going over to the team total sixteen and

435
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,480
seven so far this season, so you're profiting a big

436
00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:27,319
chunk if you just faded the Sparks defense so far

437
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,480
this season. But this total here one seventy five and

438
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:32,359
a half right now, ninety two and a half team

439
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,880
total for the Liberty second game of back to back,

440
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,519
it just seems a little bit high. The last matchup

441
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:42,039
that they had they had won so far this season

442
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000
eighty nine to seventy nine, stayed under the total. I

443
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:46,880
just think that this number is a little bit inflated

444
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,519
based on the current situation for both teams. Right, Sparks

445
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:52,880
third straight road game on the East Coast, second of

446
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,720
a back to back for Liberty, So I would think

447
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,880
it actually it's I would probably say to the under

448
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,960
that for the total, and I would actually look towards

449
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,039
I agree with the market on the on the Sparks side,

450
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,039
with the plus, I think it opened up at like

451
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:11,599
plus eleven, but like you said, it has been down,

452
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:14,559
so I would lean towards Sparks and the under.

453
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:17,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, LA's got sixteen overs, as you mentioned this year,

454
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:20,160
no other team in the WNBA is more than thirteen overs.

455
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,200
I mean, just crushing the over under it. But now

456
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,079
the question is know is their value left when the

457
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:27,039
total is inflated this high. The markets, obviously after twenty

458
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:29,119
four games, are going to correct. We do have another

459
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,279
game tonight that right after. It's seven thirty Eastern Seattle

460
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,319
at my Washington Mystics Washington three and a half point

461
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,400
dog with this also seeing Somebodey coming on. The Dog

462
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,759
opened its high as five and a half down to

463
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:42,759
three and a half four in most locations, a little

464
00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:44,119
bit of a dip to the under as well, one

465
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,079
fifty six and a half down to one fifty four

466
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,400
and a half in the Nation's capital tonight.

467
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:51,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one. I mean, I'm a Storm fan, I'm

468
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:53,559
from Seattle, and I was actually the last I was

469
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,400
at the last game these two met each other. I

470
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,079
had this Storm team total under that one cash. One

471
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,079
thing to make about the Storm they always tend to

472
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:05,839
play down to their opponent's levels, obviously mistakes. They're playing

473
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,759
a lot better this year than than a lot of

474
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,640
people expected, just because of how young they are, but

475
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,480
it has a lot to do with their defense. For

476
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,839
the most part, their offense has been inefficient, especially recently.

477
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:21,680
If you look at the Storms games, they've been really

478
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,440
inefficient offensively. But they are coming off a really dominant

479
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,400
ninety five to fifty seven win against the Sky. I

480
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,680
think their offense sees a little bit of a letdown here.

481
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:36,079
And also I mentioned how I cash that Storm team

482
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,039
total under it was because of how ugly these two

483
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,640
teams played like. They match up so well with their

484
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,599
guards and their bigs defensively that it just created like

485
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,279
this ugly flow to the game. People couldn't get into

486
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:53,599
a rhythm. Even the bench players couldn't either, So the

487
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,000
matchup wise, it just seems like they really are built

488
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:02,359
to stop each other's offensive rhythm. If you look at

489
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,000
the Mystics defense, they've actually been a little bit better recently.

490
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,880
The Storm are also playing at the slowest pace in

491
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,240
the league, Mystics not too far off at eighth over

492
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:14,000
the last ten games Mystics. I think one thing that

493
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:16,359
the Mystics do have an advantage of is getting to

494
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,319
the free throw line. The Storm are also twelfth in

495
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:23,359
second highest free throw rate allowed, so they're sending opponents

496
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,279
to the free throw line. And both teams are top

497
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,880
four enforcing turnovers as well, So what I mentioned about

498
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,160
like ugly games between each other, they're just creating turnovers

499
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,119
contesting shots. I think both offenses struggle in this situation here,

500
00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:39,160
slow paced game. I agree with the under the total

501
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,839
going down to the under. I also think that, like

502
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,319
I mentioned earlier, Seattle's gonna get a bit of a

503
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,400
letdown offensively after scoring ninety five they only scored said

504
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480
they failed to score seventy in three SHAP games prior

505
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:54,680
to that, So I actually think that the mystics is

506
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,640
the right side as well.

507
00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: Ronald knows his WNBA. I know, Ronald, going into last

508
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:01,759
you're double run, but still on a twenty nine and

509
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:03,839
six run. I believe on four percent or higher w

510
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,839
NBA plays, which is just remarkable, and number one this

511
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,240
year as well. Tell people about it.

512
00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:11,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, yesterday did not go great one in three, but

513
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,599
we built a lot of cushion so far this season

514
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,599
seventy seven units profit after yesterday's one in three day

515
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,680
in the regular season, so a lot of things going

516
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,200
really well all time. I think all time. I'm number

517
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,559
one in w n B a third going for my

518
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:31,039
third straight number one season, and you know, I've been

519
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:33,599
following and watching it before it got really popular, So

520
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,000
I think that's one advantage I have that I have

521
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,440
and I'm also able to adjust as the game changes,

522
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,240
so I think that I don't see me slowing down

523
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,839
in the w NBA. I've really been focusing in on

524
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,279
that over like baseball and all that stuff. But one

525
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:52,799
thing that I've learned this year is you know, the

526
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,319
lower you know, the lower like one to two percent

527
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,720
plays haven't been that great for me. So I actually

528
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:02,759
told client set, I'm not doing any I'm not giving

529
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:06,559
any plays less than three percent. So I won't have

530
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:09,480
a WNBA play today, but I will have MLB. So

531
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:11,759
if you guys are interested in that, you could check

532
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,319
out my kaper page wt Dot Buzz backslash RC.

533
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean WNBA records incredible, number one last year,

534
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,480
number one this year even with a one in three nights,

535
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,480
still eight and four is last twelve. So it's a

536
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,680
great way to build that bank roll for the football season.

537
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,319
Ronald's also got a five percent college football play up.

538
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,640
He's number one all time on five percent best bets

539
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,079
at wager Talk. And I want to mention this on

540
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,160
the way out, Ronald, because we're bringing in Ross Benjamin

541
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,640
next and we've got a duo special with you and Ross,

542
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,240
and we'll talk more about it with Ross as well.

543
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,680
But by Ronald get Ross free or by Ross get

544
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Ronald free, doesn't matter how you want to slice it.

545
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,480
It's a two for one special. You get them both

546
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:48,640
for the next year for the price of one. That's

547
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,799
it's a fantastic offer.

548
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, real quick. Someone asked about the box and the Murners.

549
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,920
It's oh, it's a griffy, just a griffy bubble ahead.

550
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:02,119
Also have a KD KD Rookie a babble ahead as

551
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,880
well in Seattle uniform, so representing.

552
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,319
Speaker 2: Seattle Supersonic back in the day. Yes, sir, people forget

553
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,119
that Ronald college football right around the corner, you got

554
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,799
that big playoff, you got the special two for the

555
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:15,960
full year with Ross.

556
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that. So I have a five percent

557
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,319
play in college football. It's it's a you know, I

558
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,680
have low volume in college football, but my five percent

559
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,440
plays I think. I don't know if you mentioned it,

560
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,359
but I'm on a forty nine and eleven run and

561
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:32,839
five percent plays, number one all time profit win percentage

562
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,000
and ROI on five percent plays. So when I throw

563
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,680
those out there, they hit at a high rate. And

564
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:42,039
this college football play actually checks all the boxes for

565
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:46,559
what I usually look for. So, yeah, that one's up

566
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:50,559
been available. It's it's almost a month away, but I

567
00:25:50,599 --> 00:25:52,240
wanted to get ahead of the line just because I

568
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,720
feel like it's going to be shifting a bit.

569

Speaker 2: It's all available on his page right now. Check them

580
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,000
run too. We talked about those free play videos. You

581
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,480
probably cooled off a little bit because what we were

582
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,960
like thirty four and eleven or something at one point.

583
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, cool off, cooling off compared to what.

584
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,200

something in that area. There, Steve. Don't quote me on that,

589
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,559
but it's right in that neighborhood. So yes, it's cooled

590
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,200

shot to win the college football Championships. So stay tuned

614
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,039
in a couple of minutes. But first, let's talk some baseball.

615
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:05,759
Is it your New York Mets? Were your Yankee, your

616
00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:08,880
Met guy growing? All right, so it's your New York

617
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,559
Mets against the New York Giants. Are you old enough

618
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:12,400
to remember the Giants?

619
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: And I am old enough to remember the Giants?

620
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: No?

621
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, letting no, I take that.

622
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: I didn't think you were. That was a complete job.

623
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,759
That was actually dumbfounded that you said yes. To be honest,

624
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:23,359
it kind of spoiled the whole job.

625
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm not I know you guys like to tease me,

626
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,400
but I'm not that old.

627
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: I didn't think you were Giants Mets. You know, I

628
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,079
talked about the National League West earlier this week on Tuesday,

629
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,599
and I said, out the Padres, if you look at

630
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,519
run differential, were maybe a bit overrated. Well they've since

631
00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:40,279
lost four straight games, so I guess that came back

632
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:42,599
down to earth fast. But I also mentioned that the

633
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,799
Giants were the one team that were good against winning

634
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,519
the opponents in that division, where the Padres Dodgers all

635
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,400
had losing records, So this could be a good match

636
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,519
up to Now, what's your take on this game, Giants Mets.

637
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,359
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you got to look at this from

638
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:59,119
a book maker's standpoint. They made San Francisco as a

639
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:02,640
minus one to the opener, and the Mets are six

640
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,480
games ahead of San Francisco and Stanley's. The Mets have

641
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:08,359
won five in a row, the Giants have lost seven

642
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,319
of nine. Yet the Giants open his favorite another down

643
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,039
to one fifteen, So to me, a red flag goes

644
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,799
up there right away. And then looking inside the numbers,

645
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:22,480
David Peterson talk about Jekyl and Hyde as a starter

646
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,640
in his home and away splits eleven and oh, and

647
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,440
his home team starts. That's not decisions, that's games that

648
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,119
he started at home. The Mets have been eleven and oh.

649
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:35,599
But the last eight starts on the road for Peterson,

650
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:38,880
the Mets have gone oh to eight, and his numbers

651
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,200
are indicative of such. It's not like there're horrible numbers

652
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,680
on the road, Steve, but they're the disparity between his

653
00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:49,359
ERA and whip on the road compared to at home

654
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:53,920
is its side catching. Robbie Ray, on the other hand,

655
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,559
eight and three, and his home team starts this year

656
00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:00,400
with an excellent two fifty three RA and one fourteen

657
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,200
whip eight of his eleven home starts this year, we're

658
00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:07,559
of the quality variety meeting six innings or more pitched,

659
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,759
three yearned runs or less allowed. The San Francisco bullpen

660
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,119
at home this year been very good. Three twenty one ERA,

661
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,319
one fifteen whip. I'd like San fran here. I just

662
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:21,640
think I'm gonna think like a book maker here, and

663
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,400
I think some of that conversation that you and Gianni

664
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,079
were having applies here. You know what I mean. If

665
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,839
it looks too good to be true in sports betting,

666
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,680
more times than not it is. I'm going to take

667
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,160
San Francisco here minus one fifteen against the Mets and Ross.

668
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, obviously having a great baseball season,

669
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,440
if you had to say, like your two or three

670
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,759
favorite things, like when you're making your short list every day,

671
00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:45,200
what are you looking at in baseball? What are your

672
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,799
two or three favorite things to look at when the

673
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:48,720
analyzing games, I.

674
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:52,559
Speaker 1: Always begin with starting pitching, Steve, I think most of

675
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,039
us do. And I look at recent form more so

676
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,920
than how a guy's overall numbers are. So I mean,

677
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,160
you could have a guy who's overall numbers are you know,

678
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
his ERA is less than three, but over his last

679
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,200
three starts it's six point two OHO and his whip

680
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,880
is like one sixty, you know, So I look at

681
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,920
recent form. Bullpens you have to take into consideration. And again,

682
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,200
because it's a long season, there's gonna be a lot

683
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,519
of ups and downs with bullpen performances. So I like

684
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,039
to get that down to maybe the last month and

685
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,359
even the last seven games or so, and see how

686
00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:35,599
the bullpens are performing. Because in this day and age, Steve,

687
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,559
you know, it's it's a day and age of specialization

688
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,640
when it comes to pitching a major league baseball So

689
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920
that's the other thing I look at. And then, you know,

690
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:47,599
I look at various other topics, but those are the

691
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,599
first two I look at. Of course, I don't like

692
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,039
to ask bad teams to do good things for me.

693
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,559
I think you touched upon that as well. So even

694
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,480
if I get a favorable starting pitching matchup and the

695
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,720
team is lost, well you know, Detroit's a perfect example

696
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:08,359
with Scooble today, I'm going to stay completely away from

697
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,279
that game with probably the best starting pitcher in baseball

698
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,319
right now because of detroit struggles. I think they're one

699
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:18,799
and eleven in their last twelve. So those are some

700
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:20,200
of the things I look at, Steve.

701
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's always goes back to offensive momentum for me,

702
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,480
good or bad when teams are struggling. When the Guardians

703
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,400
lost what was it ten straight a few weeks ago,

704
00:32:28,759 --> 00:32:30,839
they scored like one or two runs almost in every

705
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,359
game during that span. Tigers they've lost eleven out of twelve.

706
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,680
As you mentioned, they've been outscored eighty three to thirty two.

707
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:38,960
So yeah, they're giving up, you know, like seven runs

708
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,400
a game or whatever. But what jumps out to me

709
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,240
is the thirty two because you can control that that's

710
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:46,160
the same lineup every day. Thirty two runs over twelve

711
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,680
games is not good. That's less than three runs a games.

712
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:51,519
So it also amazes me how the offenses go through

713
00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:53,519
ebbs and flows also during the season, so big you're

714
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:56,759
spot on about current form, and you know, yeah, avoid

715
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:59,000
bad teams in every sport. That's such a great filter.

716
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,119
And in general. Going to get to that college football

717
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,759
long shot in a moment. But if you all have

718
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:06,000
any specific games you want to ask Rossvelt, please drop

719
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:07,559
them in the live chat and we will get to

720
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,640
them before we leave baseball. Ross second half of the

721
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,440
season really was here a few weeks ago, but the

722
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,119
post All Star break second half of the season this

723
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,680
year now, and I mentioned earlier how I always feel

724
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,799
like the bye week in the NFL or baseball it's

725
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:23,160
a momentum killer, or it can help teams that were struggling. Obviously,

726
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,839
the Tigers are on a slide, and they had a

727
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:28,240
great first half. White Sox six and one the seven

728
00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:31,240
half after the break, A's fifteen runs. Last night, A

729
00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:32,839
rookie hits four home runs for the first time in

730
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,559
the history of baseball in the twentieth four run home game. Ever,

731
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,839
that's one of the rarest feats in baseball over one

732
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,000
hundred and fifty years. We've only had it twenty times.

733
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,680
Pretty cool. What is your take on the second half? Here?

734
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,119
Your New York Yankees overrated, underrated, neutral, buy, sell, neutral,

735
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,079
a hold at this point maybe Blue Jay sixteen and four.

736
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: I thought, look, here's the thing, it's a tricky question

737
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,319
right now, Steve, because we're approaching the trade deadline right point,

738
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:01,400
so you know somebody's made your market. Teams that are

739
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,799
still in contention, like the Yankees. I'd like to wait

740
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:08,039
and see and see what transpires at the trade deadline,

741
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,960
if getting McMahon in a trade as their stop gap

742
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,599
at third base or they think that they got to

743
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:18,519
steal there. The guy's sitting two seventeen. I know his

744
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,679
prior years he's been very good. But if that's an indication,

745
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:26,480
I'm selling on the Yankees. I just even with him

746
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,079
in the lineup, there's just too many soft spots in

747
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:32,360
that batting order as you go from six through nine

748
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,320
in that lineup. So and I'm not convinced on their

749
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,360
starting pitching beyond Max Freed, who do you trust? You

750
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,800
know what I mean? I guess Carlos rodon sure. But

751
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
beyond that the depth that are starting pitching, and this

752
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:46,480
bullpen is a mess.

753
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

754
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,679
Speaker 1: This isn't the Yankees bullpen we've seen in the last

755
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,880
five or six years. They're far from dominant. So that

756
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:57,719
in that aspect, if you were talking specifically about my Yankees,

757
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,719
they're sell to me.

758
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:01,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've touched on something I was going to say.

759
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,320
You know, regular season and postseason are so different, right.

760
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,719
Winning regular season games is about having four or five

761
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000
decent starters, having a deep offense. You get to the postseas,

762
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:12,239
you're gonna have one or two superstar pitchers and dominate.

763
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,039
And I don't feel like the Dodgers or the Yankees

764
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:17,679
necessarily have the best starting staffs in either league. And

765
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,599
if you look at them ross, they're combined down over

766
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,639
fourteen units this year against the money line.

767
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: Dodgers have an excuse, right, Steve. They got guys that

768
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,559
have been out and waiting to come back.

769
00:35:27,639 --> 00:35:30,639
Speaker 2: That's the big X factor. If they come back healthy

770
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:33,159
and if they're ready to roll. I think that's maybe

771
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:34,960
what they're doing with O Toddy in my opinion, is

772
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,239
that they're just trying to get them enough work here

773
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,760
for one or two innings a game. If he's in

774
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,159
full throttle for the postseason, that's pretty dangerous. But it's

775
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:45,480
also so risky, so risky to have him out there

776
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,760
throwing in my opinion.

777
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're never going to lose his bat, but.

778
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,559
Speaker 2: But you will if he hurts his arm. Maybe that's

779
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:54,800
my point. That's why yeah, I got you out there.

780
00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And you know, the Dodgers' bullpen has

781
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,079
just been terrible. They got a lot of guys out.

782
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:04,840
I get that. But like you just alluded to that

783
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,159
big if question if they come back healthy and how

784
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,039
healthy are they and how will they perform after such

785
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:13,280
a long layoff, I think you're going to see the

786
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Dodgers make some major moves with their bullpen at the

787
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,360
trade deadline. So again a wait and see approach there

788
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,880
with the Dodgers as well, Steve.

789
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the trade deadline right around the corner. As

790
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,000
Ross said, it really is a great point. We'll know

791
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:27,840
a lot more when we hit August as far as

792
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,880
what teams have what in their abilities. In my Washington Nationals,

793
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,159
we'll see if they do another six for one trade,

794
00:36:33,159 --> 00:36:36,159
maybe like they did with Soda. What a steal that was.

795
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,079
I love that you and I could be general managers

796
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:40,639
for an NFL team or a baseball team, and I

797
00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,400
swear I could turn them around in five years if

798
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,800
they just let me do what I wanted to do

799
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,559
the NFL. I would trade my first round picks every

800
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:48,719
year and load up. You and I saw the Cowboys

801
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,960
do it. Thirty some years ago. You know, it just

802
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,800
it's been proven to work. The problem is every general

803
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,360
manager is on the hot seat and they have to

804
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,760
catch lightning in a bottle. They keep trying to grab

805
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,239
these quarterbacks with these first round pitchers. Hey, speaking of football,

806
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,199
we teased it earlier, ten thousand plus ten thousands. So

807
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,920
what's at one hundred to one? I guess is it?

808
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,519
One hundred to one is what it would be.

809
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: A plus ten thousand, one hundred will win you ten thousand,

810
00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:14,119
So yeah, one hundred to one odds.

811
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, but still this is a long shot in college football.

812
00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:18,880
And look, you know, obviously one hundred to one is

813
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,400
probably not going to win it. But if you get

814
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000
in the playoff system, especially that expanded playoff we have,

815
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:26,039
now you got hedge opportunities, a lot of other things

816
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:27,480
you can do. So what's the team you've got kind

817
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:28,159
of on your radar?

818
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: Arizona State plus ten thousand. You know it's Steve. You know,

819
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,840
it sounds like an absurd bet, but hear me out

820
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,679
on my reasoning here, and I think that you'll see

821
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,440
where I'm going with this. I mean, look, the Big

822
00:37:41,519 --> 00:37:45,079
Twelve is a wide open conference, right and Arizona State

823
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:48,920
right now is a co favorite at DraftKings at plus

824
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,239
five point fifty, and they have seventeen returning starters from

825
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,639
last year's eleven and three team that won the Big Twelve.

826
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,519
They lost to Texas in the College Football quarter Final

827
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,480
in a double overtime game. They did lose their stars

828
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:08,639
running back Camp Scataboo, but they they do return a

829
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,440
excellent sophomore quarterback in Sam Levitt, who's second team Big

830
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,719
Twelve last year, and the first team preseason All American

831
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,320
wide receiver in Jordan Tyson. So they have plenty to

832
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,039
bring back even with the loss of Scataboo. Then you

833
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:26,440
look at the strength to schedule, it's only number thirty nine.

834
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,840
I say only because as a Power five conference team,

835
00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:33,880
that's a pretty low strength to schedule. And this year's

836
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,440
opponents that they're going to face they were number sixty

837
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:40,559
and win percentage last season. I just need them to

838
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:43,480
get to the Big Twelve title game, Steve, and you

839
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:46,119
know what I mean. You look at it's odd they're

840
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:49,079
plus five point fifty to win the Big Twelve, but

841
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,039
they're only plus three eighty to make it to the

842
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:56,719
College Football playoffs. And at the same sportsbook DraftKings. So

843
00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:59,119
I need them to get to the college or the

844
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:02,719
Big twelve Chanceampionship game, and it's a hedging opportunity from

845
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,360
their going forward. At those types of odds, there's no

846
00:39:06,519 --> 00:39:11,599
reason why you can't make a substantial profit on Arizona State,

847
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,480
even if I'll go even one step further, if the

848
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:19,480
game before and their regular season finale, if they need

849
00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:22,119
that to win to get into college or the Big

850
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,599
twelve Championship game, you may want to start hedging right

851
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:29,320
at that point. And you know you're in a prime position.

852
00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:32,400
You know. The only way we throw money out the window,

853
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,360
he is if they you know, they have a terrible season,

854
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,519
and that goes with any team in the country. You know,

855
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:40,599
But at odds of plus ten thousand, I know that

856
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:44,199
seems absurd, but we're really not betting plus ten thousand.

857
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,360
We're betting on them to get to the Big twelve

858
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,840
Championship game, and we assure ourselves of a substantial profit.

859
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:53,800
And why couldn't they I mean plus five point fifty

860
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,199
to win the Big twelve plus three eighty to get

861
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,719
into college football playoff. I think there's a lot of

862
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,760
at that number, and it's not such an absurd bet,

863
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,800
as we ordinarily would think when you're seeing a plus

864
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:07,960
ten thousand.

865
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: Just on the surface. You've got a team, you said,

866
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,880
seventeen returning starters, right, Yeah, yes, they got a bye

867
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000
last week. Last year there in the top four with

868
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:16,880
a bye, had to play one last game and lost

869
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,800
in double overtime in that game. They're that close to

870
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,679
being in the semi finals. Last year. They got a

871
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,960
lot of guys back in a very watered down conference.

872
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,920
I think it makes a lot of sense. And the

873
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,360
fact that it's three and a half to one to

874
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,440
make the playoffs ors is one hundred to one to

875
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,079
win the whole thing. Yeah, you're much better off hedging.

876
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:33,480
And like you said, you could hedge before the Big

877
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:35,320
twelve title game even if you think only one team

878
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,519
is going to get there. I don't know how much

879
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:39,599
have you done work with college football with other teams

880
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:41,719
you still digging in as still.

881
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: Digging in, Steve. You know, I've been going so well

882
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,000
on Major League baseball right now, It's been my focus,

883
00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:52,760
but college football. Last year I was number one in units, earned,

884
00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:57,239
number one and win percentage, and up until July thirty,

885
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,440
first at midnight, folks, early Bird special four nine nine

886
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,719
for my college football season right through the National Championship game.

887
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:06,960
So you got a few days to take advantage of.

888
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:09,000
Add it's going to go up to five ninety nine

889
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:13,000
as of next Wednesday, so jump in there, and well

890
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:15,719
you know, I'm on an all sports premium picks run

891
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,920
right now of eighty and forty nine Steve sixty two

892
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,719
percent since May thirteenth and the net profit of over

893
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,039
seventy five units during that course at times, So I

894
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:29,320
wake up every morning thinking I'm in heaven, and then

895
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,639
I get a I feel my pulse and I'm not.

896
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,000
So I gotta stay grounded.

897
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,679
Speaker 2: Clients are in heaven, though, to say the least amazing runs,

898
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,880
And if you haven't been capitalizing on the free play runs,

899
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,320
it's insane because you could to pay for multiple college

900
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,400
football seasons by now and getting Ross's best bets. But

901
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:49,440
MLB alone thirteen and four thirty and thirteen sixty five

902
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,760
and forty one and the free picks once again, will

903
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,960
Wager Talk TV on forty six and thirteen sixty three

904
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,719
and twenty runs got the official numbers for you, Ross,

905
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,199
I didn't trust you to remember those incredible numbers got

906
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:01,320
the official numbers for you.

907
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you very much, Steve. And again, look at

908
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:10,239
here's the thing, folks. Some of you say, well, why

909
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,159
should I pay because you're so hot with free picks.

910
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: You got a good.

911
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: Point, But at the same time, it shows you capable

912
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,480
of what I'm capable of on the premium pick side.

913
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,079
And you know we have to be real, right, Steve.

914
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,320
I mean to say that I'm going to go sixty

915
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,800
three and twenty every eighty three picks is I would

916
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,079
be the biggest wire in the world. I mean, enjoy

917
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:33,639
it while at last, but don't have a false sense

918
00:42:33,639 --> 00:42:36,400
of security with the free picks, because like with all

919
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,159
of us, the premium picks are our best picks of

920
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:39,719
the day.

921
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:42,199
Speaker 2: Correct, and some of those free picks are probably making

922
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:44,280
your best back card right Occasionally, I mean some of

923
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,440
those games might end up on it.

924
00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: I try not to make that a practice, so it's

925
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:51,880
even more impressive. And again I don't I have to

926
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,239
toot my own horn here, right, I don't want people

927
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,920
to take it out of context. But you know it's

928
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,039
even more impressive that I'm sixty two percent on a

929
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,239
pick since May thirteenth, and I also have this free

930
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,320
pick run going as well. It just shows you how

931
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,079
good things have been going, especially in baseball steep.

932
00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: So basically you're getting more winners by having both. So

933
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,559
that's he had another reason to get the Best Bets

934
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:14,719
service because those are stronger plays that long term are

935
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,360
going to win at a higher percentage. This is a

936
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,599
small sample. Ross has been doing this for decades as

937
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:20,880
of high you know, and once again we rate our games.

938
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,880
Ronald talked about his stronger plays doing better. Free plays

939
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,119
are great and get the best bets and once again

940
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,920
Ross's Early Bird College Football special is good until the

941
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,119
end of this month, a few more days remaining, or

942
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:34,159
if you want his one year all access, you get

943
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:36,199
him for free with Ronald or Ronald for free with Ross.

944
00:43:36,199 --> 00:43:39,000
It's a two for one special. The original odd couple,

945
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:42,159
Ross Benjamin and Ronald Kabang. No promo co needed.

946
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:44,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to start calling him Ronald kaboom Man. I mean,

947
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:46,840
he's he's killing the sports books, you know.

948
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: So here's the thing too, though, he just talked about

949
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,840
his WNBA the last years number one at wager talk.

950
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,199
How many free picks have you given out in WNBA recently?

951
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,320
Ross does zero? Exactly?

952
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,519
Speaker 1: Hey, I couldn't even tell you other than Caitlin Clark

953
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:02,119
who's playing in that league. No disrespect grows women. It's

954
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:04,480
just that, you know, sometimes we're spread a little too

955
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:08,519
thin and taking on too much. And God bless him, man,

956
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:09,679
he's killing it.

957
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: It's another reason that's a great value of getting a

958
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,280
WNBA cap for a guy that's doing baseball, football and basketball.

959
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,079
So it's a fantastic caller. Check it out. Wager Talk

960
