Speaker 1: You are welcome to Wadger Talk today, the gold stand
of the sports betting shows, where we talk the talk
and walk the walk. Got a good show getting everyone
ready for the weekend. Dan, come on in here. It's
always a beautiful day when you cash a five percent
darts play, which is a phrase you don't hear very often,
but that is what we do here.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4: I messaged you in language I probably shouldn't use in
the show open, but I was rather excited Andy that
we had a dart five percent cash yesterday. Congratulations to
all who joined Andy and the squad. There a great
bet there, and the action isn't slowing down. Andy. This
is gonna be a huge weekend for our team. So
we'll let folks know about a great special that's going
to be coming up here. Folks, but coming on the
show here today. The sickness that has been rolling around.
If you are sick and watching this show, you are
not alone. Because I was sick earlier this week. Andy
is currently sick as we speak, and Teddy Covers messaged
me today to said I won't be on the show.
I can't even sit up, So folks, it is moving
around the nation here. So we were gonna have Teddy
Covers breaking down some NBA. But Andy, he's the warrior
for you guys on the show. Hit that like button
and subscribe. Andy's gonna be breaking down the games. Teddy
had so two NBA breakdowns for you in addition to
the props and picks he's gonna give you all around
the world. I have one of my favorite lacrosse bets
of the season, Client play. You're gonna get it for
free right here on the show. Marco d'angelo's stopping by.
He's gonna give you two action or two plays in
college basketball action BCU versus the Saint Louis Billickins. So
we have the Billickins on the billing today here, Andy,
and then we're gonna talk Indiana and Purdue. So we
got the Billikins and the boiler Makers, two of the
best mascots in college sports on the show here today.
But Andy, I say we get right into it with
our man, Janni the Greek, because the man is here
and right before we hopped on, Yannie, you're giving me
some college baseball steam, some late steam that unfortunately, uh
first pitch has already happened, so yeah, you know my benefit, Yanni,
But it sounds like, go ahead, Andy.
Speaker 2: You can live bet trill trill, Yeah you could.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could fire right right before I jumped on, Like,
that's the stuff I don't control because I don't handicap
that stuff, so I'd never know when it's going to
come in. Ten is the college baseball, those kind of sports.
But when they do, you know, I try to share
it as quickly as possible and fire on it myself
because they do so well long term. And this just
happened to come in while I was sitting ready for
our segment, and I was like, can I send it
to subscribers, But there's like a fifteen minute cutoff till
the game starts, so subscribers have time obviously to get
to play and bet to play, so I couldn't send
it out to them. And I was like, hopefully my
segment starts before so I could just share it regardless
whether it wins or loses. The bottom line is you
try to share as much sharp information as possible and
real quickly.
Speaker 6: I want to go over.
Speaker 5: Something real fast. Last night, had a good night on
sides and Totals. I went four and two on sides
and totals, and the props our NBA props go zero
to four and it ends up costing me a winning night.
But what I always do, and the reason I'm bringing
this up is because I kind of got called out.
Speaker 6: For it a little bit, like, oh what the little
more volume? Bro?
Speaker 5: Listen, I have one goal, one goal only, and that's
to be profitable. When December thirty first rolls around. If
our goals aren't aligned, I'm going to disappoint you. Like
if our goal isn't the same, you're probably gonna get disappointed.
Speaker 6: Because when I zoom out.
Speaker 5: What I see and that's what I checked to make
sure we're running the right way, and I always always
back test and I look and I soak. Over the
last thirty days, even with that own four, we're sitting
at almost top twenty units in props. So obviously the
prop guys are doing their job. But it just goes
to show you if you're not managing risk correctly, one
bad night, one bad week could wipe out all your
hard work. You constantly have to pay attention to managing
your risk correctly, like nothing is more important than that.
And again, the only reason I'm bringing that up is
not to call out somebody's comment, but it's to call
out the comment because the only reason you would have
any issue is if you're mismanaging your risk. Because if
you're betting correctly, then you should want as much possible
plus CV positions as you can make. You shouldn't want less,
you should want more. The only reason you don't want
more is if you're not properly funded. You're over betting
your edge. It's kind of like me playing blankjack. I
know I have an edge. I want to see more hands.
I don't want to see less hands. Why do I
want less hands when you have the edge. So guys
keep that in mind. Don't over bet your edge. It's
going to get you in trouble. No matter how good
you're running, you're gonna have a bad night, bad week,
bad month. I'm sitting it up over fifty units already
in twenty twenty six, But that doesn't mean we haven't
had losing five percent, doesn't mean we haven't had a
losing day, doesn't mean we haven't had a losing week yet.
Even during the most profitable that's gonna happen. So you
have to be able to survive that if you're gonna profit.
Just needed to start that way because we have a
big weekend coming up. March Madness is around the corner,
and there's a ton of opportunities to take advantage of,
but you have to have the bank roll to do so,
and you won't have it if you over bet that edge.
Speaker 1: Johnny, I'm glad you brought this up. I want to
get to your steam report and go over some plays.
But yeah, someone messaged me in our discord and I
was talking about this exact same thing, about what to
do with a lower bank roll where you don't your funds,
you don't have enough to spray the board like the
syndicates and such do. Let's do the Steam report and
then let's talk about it because it was an interesting
conversation we see in today.
Speaker 5: All right, let me give you some NBA that I've
given out to subscribers. Five thirty six LA Lakers minus
six and a half and seven five thirty one over
to twenty two and two twenty three Milwaukee and New Orleans.
Now we got some college basketball for you.
Speaker 6: Eight eighty one. Canisius pick them?
Speaker 5: Eight seventy two I own a plus the one eight
seventy three Wisconsin Milwaukee plus the two, and then eight
ninety two Perdue minus the eleven.
Speaker 6: Not a big day. I mean, it's a huge slate
of NBA.
Speaker 5: But as you know, it's really tough to bet the
NBA day in, day out because of the huge line moves. Again,
if you're if you're just using that market to scalp
middle and try to earn, it's the perfect market to
do so. But if you're trying to zero in on positions,
it's hard to handicap because of those that factor of
these just huge line moves.
Speaker 1: Let's go to UFC here real quick. They just did
weigh ins. I didn't see anything too bad. Sean Strickland
was complaining about his weight cut, said he can only
see out of one eye. Okay, Earl's medic looked like
he needed a medic. His weightcut did not go that well.
There's been some pretty crazy lines. I love Carly Judas,
I think she wins, but my god, minus nine hundred,
what do you see with these line moves?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gotten so out of hand, right, And and
Jolianna Miller saying she saw her betting line and how
disrespectful it is and how super motivated she is. I
think that may attract some money at the window come Saturday,
but I'm not sure that's going to help her. I
bet Strickland I'll keep it real. I thought when it
got up to like that minus two forty two to
fifty range and I was able to get I think
plus two fifteen to twenty, I had to jump on it
just because, again, as great of a run as Fluffy's
been on and as difficult as out he is at
middleweight because of his pace, that's been Strickland's method of victory.
He's used his cardio as his biggest asset. He's been
able to outwork his opponents. He doesn't do it with power,
doesn't do it with technique, even he just is constantly
coming at you, and it's just a tiring fighter to
go again, especially when it's tough to take him out
of there. And I just want to see how that
matches up again. If Hernandez is able to just grample
them and wrestle them and hold them down and control them,
you know it's not going to get there for Strickland.
But I'm just that and anything better than plus two
hundred I think it's plus ev I don't think this
is a spot where Buffy wins this fight. Fluffy wins
this fight two out of three times. So I do
like the Stricklands side a little bit. The metas you
you talked about how awful he looked on the scale.
That bodes well for me and subscribers because we went
under one and a half in his fight with Jeff Neil.
It's no secret with metic listen, I don't expect him
to regress towards the middleweight mean. I mean to his
welterweight mean of fifty percent finishes. This guy does nothing
but finish in the first or second round, and I
think that's just going to continue against someone like Neil
who is gained to trade.
Speaker 6: So I like that total as well.
Speaker 5: And another really sharp total had a guest on my
show who helped confirm it because I had a strong
lean on it, and it's an opinion I respect. It's
the Soriano and brahimj He went under two and a
half that's now juiced and some books even went to
one and a half. So that's a sharp side on
that under in the Soriano and Brahim sign. And then
another a sharp I respect bet two dogs. I'll share
those with you. I haven't touched them myself, still working
on the card. But he did take Dan Egay at
plus money, and I'm pretty sure it was me. Also
that he uh took it plus money, so he yeah,
no Row, Phil Roe forgive me. He took Danny gave
plus one eighty five and Phil Row plus one eighty also.
Speaker 6: So those are definitely sharp, solid source.
Speaker 2: I agree with most of those.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're definitely on the under uh with in
the medic Neil fight. We're also going to be under
on the uh Spivak and Dalia fight. We see Delia
coming out strong, goes for the ko. If he doesn't
get it, Spivac probably gets him on the sac looks
so bad on the feet, Like if he doesn't get
that first takedown, it's like, yeah, it's standing. Yeah, absolutely
absolutely Okay. So, uh, the conversation we had last night,
Guy reached out to me. He said, I'm interested in plays,
but I have a bank roll. It's a little bit smaller.
I'm I'm kind of dealt with this because I pulled
all my money out of my bank roll last year,
so I've been building it up when you're under fund
I think, at least my experience, I have to lower
the volume.
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have When you're not dealing with a big
bank roll, you can't just spray the board in these
daily sports.
Speaker 2: You have to pick your spots.
Speaker 1: So I lower the volume, but I increase a little
bit on what I'm betting until I in a position
to take advantage of more opportunities. What's your advice when
people are just starting out, they have a low bank roll,
how do you attack it.
Speaker 5: I'm going to keep it real, man, And thank god,
I'm at a sight like Wader Talk where I can
talk real. And this is why I don't do those
promotional videos for those sports books and stuff that want
me to stick to a script, because I'm going to
tell you how it works in the real world. If
you're underfunded, you're gonna get buried. That's just how it's
going to turn out. You're going to lose your bank roll,
that's just the bottom line, because you're going to increase
your risk of ruin. It's going to get too high.
That's why I always I'm going to have a free
steam room this week on Saturday ten.
Speaker 6: A one pm Eastern Join me for that.
Speaker 5: I will go over in detail risk management and why
it's so important and how if you do it wrong,
you're increasing your risk of ruin to where you put
yourself in a position where you're mathematically a certainty to
go broke. Where that's not Ace's opinion. That's that like,
it has nothing to do with me. That's just the
math of it. Because there's two pieces of a puzzle.
When you're betting. There's bank roll and there's bet size.
Bank Roll is going to keep changing, but percentage of
bank bet size can't because once this changes, your risk changes.
And here's what I mean. I have a ten thousand
dollars bank roll. I'm betting one percent per bet, so
my bet size is one one hundred dollars. Right, This
is ten thousand. This is the bankroll. This is going
to go up and down. This is one percent. This
can't change.
Speaker 6: But here's the beauty of it.
Speaker 5: When this gets to twenty thousand, my one percent bet
is now two hundred dollars, But my risk of ruin
hasn't changed. You understand, because this is increased, this doesn't change.
My risk of ruin is still low. This gets the
thirty thousand dollars. I'm now still betting one percent, but
now that's a three hundred dollars bet. But my risk
of ruins.
Speaker 3: Still the same.
Speaker 5: But here's what happens when I flip it and I
start with a ten thousand dollars bankroll and I want
to bet one thousand dollars a game.
Speaker 6: Let's say I want to make a score.
Speaker 5: Now I'm betting where my risk of ruin is upwards
of ninety percent. It doesn't matter whether I'm working with
a guy that's able to hit six out of ten bets.
That's not going to help me. He's got to be
able to hit nine out of ten bets continuously for
me to profit betting that bet size. That's the problem.
When you're underfunded, you put yourself in a position where
you're increasing your risk of ruin. That's what you want
to minimize. Bro, you have a small bankroll, there's nothing
wrong with that. I don't care if your bankroll is
one hundred dollars. This is what this means that you
now just have to bet a dollar two dollars five
dollars max. And again five dollars would be five percent.
So I wouldn't even do that. I would wait, go
to work, hustle. There's so many side hustles out there.
Get that bank roll up to two hundred dollars, and
then start betting, because now I could keep my risk
of ruin manageable to where if I am betting only
five dollars, it's only two percent, you know. And even
then I want to increase this. I want to keep
this low. Whatever the smallest bet I can make. If
the smallest bet I can make is five dollars, then
I want to make sure I got a nickel here.
Speaker 6: So go to work, do a side hustle, keep your
expenses low.
Speaker 5: Don't gamble until you put together five hundred dollars. Get
that five hundred bucks together, start betting five dollars, and
when you double that bank roll, you start betting ten dollars.
When you double that, you start betting twenty. You double that,
you bet forty. If you don't have the patience to
do that, then keep losing your bankroll to your book.
I'm sure he's gonna he's gonna love, love, love to
have you. But this I'm telling you this out of
respect because I'm on here to try to share the
mistakes I've made in my life trying to become profitable
and use sports betting as an investment vehicle. And there's
no way around it. Brother, if you're underfunded and you're
over betting, meaning your risk of ruins high, you are
a mathematical certainty to go broke. That The only question
is how long it's gonna take before you separate it
from your bank role because it's just not sustainable. You
won't hit a high enough percentage to survive any any
cold streak. So sorry to break it to you, that's
actually good news because again the beauty of it. You
could make your risk of ruin one percent where you
double your bank ninety nine out of one hundred times.
Speaker 6: We control that. Once you have an edge, you control that.
Speaker 3: But it's all.
Speaker 5: About keeping this consistent and this will keep moving, but
this can't move. That's the bottom line if you want
to make money doing this. It took me so long
to learn that, Andy. I did every possible way to
avoid that. I wanted it every way, but that kind
of like losing weight. We everybody wanted everything except eating
less than you're burning. Like everyone was looking for every
other way to do it. Is there a drink. Is
there a special diet?
Speaker 3: Is that? No?
Speaker 5: No, it's simple. Eat less than you then you're burning
and you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna lose weight.
Speaker 6: Luckily.
Speaker 5: Now it took you know, probably a couple hundred years,
but they came up with a shot. Now people are
finding his easy way and everybody's getting skinny. They haven't
done that. They haven't come up with the shot yet
for sports betting. If they do, I promise you I
will roll it out right here on wager Talk, and
you guys will be the first, the first to be
able to get the a sooz empiic and that'll guarantee
if that flies correctly.
Speaker 3: For butt.
Speaker 6: And come up with our shot, you're gonna have to
do it the right way.
Speaker 2: Don't mean the o Zepich of gambling.
Speaker 1: Sports are best thing. I love it, Yanni, it's a
I listen. We're jam packed this weekend.
Speaker 2: We have so many plays. What do you have up

Speaker 5: The UFC packages up for bets are in there. The

Speaker 3: Yeah that Uh, I was just going to say that

to mention the freeness, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll actually be live Saturday as well, half hour
BEFO UFC. We'll go over closing lines, we'll go over
method of victory, props, anything we learned after a weigh ins,
things like that. So good day of live live content here.
So let me break down these two NBA games here Dan,
since we don't have Teddy, and then we'll get to
the three hundred million dollar man who's waiting on deck here.
So let's don't think Marco that we were we weren't
gonna bring that up.
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna start with the Mavericks. And the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1: Big number here Minnesota minus thirteen and a half over
under two thirty nine and a half. There's no Cooper
flag for Dallas. I think they're kind of in take
mode at this point. I have a lot of guys questionable.
Dallas is the worst team in the league covering the
spread on the road. They're seven and seventeen ats on
the road, two and eight their last ten. They've played
Minnesota twice this year, they lost by thirteen and twenty four.
And I think the have this golden opportunity in front
of them to move up the standings. There's his teams
ahead of them with a lot of holes in it,
Lakers Nuggets. They have injury concerns. The Lakers finally got
Luca and Reeves and Lebron on the court, but how
long is that gonna last. The Nuggets are dealing with
this Aaron Gordon injury. And the Rockets, I mean, their
best scorer just got caught talking shit about his teammates
on a burner Twitter account. There is a real thing
that happened with the Rockets there. I love the addition
of Desunmu coming off the bench, him and nas reed Dan.
I think that might be the best one to two
combo in the league coming off the bench.
Speaker 2: The Wolves.
Speaker 1: Their last two games they played, they won by twenty
four and twenty two. We see these teams that don't
have a lot of motivation to win, and they're not
looking very good.
Speaker 2: So in honor of Teddy Dan, if I'm playing, I'm laying.
I'm laying.
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timbs minus thirteen and a half is the only
way that I can look to play this one. We
were going to the Yeah Clippers, Lakers seven and a
half over under two twenty five and a half. Lakers
look to be healthy. Luca and Austin Reeves are back.
Clippers played last night. They went against the Nuggets. My
Pacers traded Mathren. Mathburn prompertly plays thirty four minutes and
scores thirty eight points coming off the bench for the Clippers.
This one is really simple to me. I don't understand
this spread. The Lakers are four and eighteen covering the
spread against Western Conference teams that are currently in the
playoffs or in the play in I do not trust
this Lakers team to cover big numbers at all against
teams that are remotely competent, and if Kawhi plays. This
is going to be a competent team. Easy pick for me,
Clippers plus seven and a half.
Speaker 2: Points with a little spreakle on the money line.
Speaker 1: So lay in the big wood with Minnesota and give
me all those points with the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Those are your breakdowns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4: Andy, before we bring Marco in real quick, you mentioned
then we were talking before the show. I mean we
got the five percent dark Cash yesterday. It is an
absolutely massive weekend for our team here. You know, you
got the live stream coming with UFC and there's a
great deal this weekend that you can take advantage for
any handicapper. But Andy, this is a great weekend for
people to check us out.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, here, I'm gonna pull up what
all we have going for this weekend. But yeah, it's
the Weekend Warrior. Yeah, it's a weekend Warrior. We did
it for football season, but it going so well we're
running it.
Speaker 2: For all sports.
Speaker 1: So here, let me plum what we have for you
guys just this weekend. Four percent cricket, four percent lacrosse,
four percent boxing, four percent rugby to two percent UFC plays.
That doesn't even include any NBA or anything. So these
are the sports that we love picking off and giving you,
guys winners on. We have a lot of four percent plays.
So it's only forty nine dollars. There's no reason to
get like one play or just a package. It's forty
nine bucks to get all of those plays. You're gonna
get everything. You're gonna get our our combat sports. You're
gonna get the rugby, you're gonna get the cricket, and yes,
the cricket is a little bit of a future. You're
gonna have to wait a week or so to cash
that one, but it's gonna cash. It's and it's plus money, Dan,
it's plus money.
Speaker 3: You love it.
Speaker 2: Let's ride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, So again, don't buy a play, guys, don't
buy just get this forty nine dollars week in where
you're gonna get two days of all of our best bets,
a lot of potential profits on the horizon starting today.
Speaker 2: So all right, let's do the graphic.
Speaker 4: Oh you want, you want? We want to bring him
in with the graphic. Let's bring him in with the graphic.
For Marco D'Angelo.
Speaker 3: I don't know who sent this to us, where it
came from, Marco.
Speaker 4: But this is what's making rounds around social media thanks
to our favorite pres So mark any tips on how
and and I can become the three hundred million dollar men.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, as soon as I figure it out
for myself, I'll let you know, because I got a
call scheduled with my account in this afternoon. He's got
some explaining to do because that news article in my
bank account. They don't seem to line it up. So
not lining up, something's wrong here. And you know, if
it's on the internet, it's got to be true, right,
So for those of.
Speaker 1: You that don't know what we're talking about, I think
it was Was it Johnny that just googled?
Speaker 2: Like Marco?
Speaker 3: I want to know what zest him to even do that? Okay,
that's what I want to know. And yeah, he finds
this article and he started having fun with it, and
then President Joe Verniery just took it to a whole
other level yesterday on their show. So yeah, it's been
it's been a fun twenty four hours. And then I
had to explain to my you know, to the wife, Lorie,
that this is fake news.
Speaker 4: There's no like, what what the hell I saw it?
Speaker 3: Marco?
Speaker 4: And I saw it. Pres posted the video. Guys, you
can check it out. Best betting show ever. You put
in air quotes though with President and Joe Ranary.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Yesterday on the show, like like Marco was in, they
pulled up the article there and uh and and Press
tweets it out because of course, in true Press fashion,
that's what he does. And then the first reply under
it was your wife going, wait what.
Speaker 3: I was like, Marco's got some splin Well. My My
response to her was twofold one. I said, see, you
know all this time, you know, when you were making
all these Amazon orders, I invested all my money in Amazon.
So that's why it's paying dividen So it's a it's
a win either way. And then I said, you know,
now that that story's out there, you know you might
want to step up your game a little bit, make
sure because you know, you know, we're in Vegas here.
You know, I'm not gonna say there's gold diggers around,
but you know, I'm just saying, just putting it out there.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's an epic. That's all right.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get to a couple of college basketball games.
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with VCU and Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: Then we'll go to Indiana Purdue, but we're gonna start
with VCU and Saint Louis and Marco breaking this game down.
My first question to you is when will you be
hosting a seminar on how to add three hundred million
dollars to your networth?
Speaker 4: And does it start with with playing this VCU Saint
Louis King.
Speaker 3: I guess that's it does. And to add to our buddy,
one last comment for pres Uh you saw the first
comment from his tweet. Well, his reply to Laurie was
right now, there would not be a better time than
to cash out. Don't be in cash out? The marks
now high? Yeah, thanks Frez. So this VCU Saint Louis game, Uh,
what I'm looking at here? You got you know, two
teams here are playing exceptionally well, no question about it.
VCUS won ten in a row and Saint Louis just
had an eighteen game winning streak snap on Tuesday night
at Rhode Island. Well, you know what I'm gonna lead
with that lost Tuesday night Rhode Island. Were they looking
ahead to this Friday night game?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: And this is a spot where uh Saint Louis. You know,
they shoot the lights out of the basketball. You look
at this team, they are hitting fifty or more from
the field, and nine of their last thirteen games, Tuesday
night was one of them that they didn't. And this
is a battle of strength versus strength. You know, you
look at the Saint Louis offense versus the VCU defense,
and normally you hear me say, give me the better
defense getting points. But what you've also heard me say
a lot on this show every Fricaday when we break
down these spotlight games, is I say, if this game
was tomorrow, you know, scattered in amongst one hundred and
thirty college basketball games tomorrow, I probably wouldn't even be
looking at it because it's a Friday night game and
it's a spotlight game. This game's on ESPN two. I
just think these home teams play at a different intensity level.
And I do think Saint Louis got caught looking ahead here.
I'm going to ride them in this game. Here, I
think they get the job done. These Friday night games,
if you watch them, the home crowd just seems to
be more intense. You know, it's the start of the weekend.
Have a good time, the team players are focused. Let
me go ahead what I think is a little bit
of an undervalue line tonight. I thought this line would
have been a little bit higher. I'm gonna go ahead
and take Saint Louis and lay the points in this one.
Speaker 1: Marco, Why did you decide you needed more money when
you had two hundred and ninety million dollars.
Speaker 3: More taxes? I had to keep patient taxes. You know
this just isn't going to go away, is it?
Speaker 2: It's too funny?
Speaker 3: You were sick.
Speaker 2: I've been sandbagging us this whole time.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, go to the rivalry in my state,
Indiana and Purdue's. Well, actually, the new rivalry might be
between my state and the Chicago Bears fan base.
Speaker 3: I saw, I saw that stuff floating around yesterday as well.
You took a back seat to my three hundred million.
But yeah, of course fantastic too. Yeah one to do
you want you want me to buy the Bears? You
know the state? Do you want them in? Do you
want them in Indiana? You tell me, buddy, you know
whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Man, it's a crazy let's let's break that Indiana Purdue,
and then yes, we have to tackle this.
Speaker 2: We have to talk about this.
Speaker 1: This is this is one of the craziest sports stories,
uh in recent memory.
Speaker 4: So all right, but let's do this.
Speaker 2: Indiana Purdue, Purdue. Listen. They're basketball school. Indiana is a
football school. My times have changed.
Speaker 1: So we got a huge spread here and you're liking
the dog with the Hoosiers.
Speaker 2: Tell us why?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you remember everything I just said in the last
video about you know, Friday night spotlight games in the
home team, Just forget about that for this one. Here's
here's why. The knee jerk reaction in this game is
to take Purdue returning home. We're looking to bounce back
off a loss. If they not return home, but they're
coming off that big game, and they're playing with revenge
Indiana from earlier in the season. But this is one
of those spots where I'm gonna look the other way
to the Friday night angle and I'm gonna take the
road team. For a couple reasons. That game the other
night for Purdue was a statement game. There's absolutely no
question playing number one Michigan on their home floor, you
want to make that statement. And they failled. Okay, Michigan
beat them to me. When you lose a big game
like that, and we talk about it all the time.
It's an angle we talk about on bet On it
during the football season. I use it in basketball, I
use it in every sport. When you lose one of
those big marquee games. It's not an automatic bounce back.
You can lose that same game twice. And I think
that is the jeopardy here with Purdue. Even though this
is a rivalry game with Indiana and they do play
with revenge, you're also paying a price for this game.
You look at the line, This line is twelve. Okay.
When they played at Indiana the line was four and
a half. They reminus four and a half. Now, you know, obviously,
you know you switch. You know, home field advantage, home
court advantages should say that you're going to have the
higher line here, but not twelve. And if you want
to look for a line comparison, in Indiana's last game
on the road, which they did get blown out at Illinois,
they were only getting eight and a half to Illinois.
Illinois is ahead of Purdue in the standings. Illinois also
just beat Purdue recently a couple of games back, and
Purdue's laying more points it's insane, and it's because of
the spot. Everybody's looking for the revenge angle, the bounce back,
and let's throw in another classic bed on it. Let's
throw in the sandwich spot. Even though this is a
rivalry game, they're coming off Michigan, they got Michigan State
on deck. I just think there's a bad spot for Purdue.
I think they will win this game, but I just
think twelve is an insane number here. I think this is,
you know, a single digit game. I think it's probably
gonna be somewhere in the range of a five to
seven point game. I'm grabbing the twelve points with Indiana
to keep this one close.
Speaker 1: Marco, do you still use coupons now that you have
three hundred million dollars?
Speaker 3: Yes? I used c poce bye bye. Yes. You know,
take advantage of specials anytime you can get it. And
you know, speaking of specials that wait you talk right now.
You can get ten days for the price of seven.
That's how you build to a three hundred million dollar bank.
Speaker 6: Bro.
Speaker 3: Guys, you you find spots where you're getting a good
product and you can save money on it. There you
go and make money with the information.
Speaker 2: Loving love it well done. That's that's well done. What
do you have up for everybody? What's your weekend looking like?
Speaker 3: Well, guys, I've got a four percent play going tonight
in the NBA. And one of the things that I
want to piggyback off some of the stuff the VR
said in his segment, and he's totally right about you
know how you want to attack, especially if you're betting
with volume, And I always say, you know, nobody's way
is the end all to be all okay, what you
have to do is what is comfortable for you. And
VR is a volume player, there's no question about that,
and he guides you through how to do that. I'm
the complete opposite. I go low volume and an example
for you, and it works for me. You know, the saying,
you know, there's many different ways to skin a cat,
which is one of the most stupidest sayings because who
was the first person that found the original way to
skin a cat and then found another? But that's all
for another story at another time. But here's the thing tonight,
I got an NBA game, guys. I'm probably one of
the lowest volume in cappers at wage or talk. Okay,
I don't have NBA plays every day. But since twenty twenty,
I am number one in money one in the NBA
because I cherry pick and pick my spots, and that's
how I attack all of my sports. I don't play
the board. I try to find the best plays, you know,
one to three plays that are out there for that day,
whether that is a hockey play, a college basketball play,
an NBA play, whatever. I don't marry myself to. I
got to have X number of plays in every sport,
and that's another way to attack it. And if you're
somebody with a smaller bank roll, like you said, Andy,
you want to play less games, it's easier for you
to navigate the terrain with less games and try to
find better games and try to hit you know, maybe
you know a higher percentage where you're putting your money
concentrated on those one to three plays and both of
them are profitable. Ace makes a lot of money, but
he's going to be the first to tell you too
that the higher the volume you play, you're not going
to have as high of a win percentage. You'll have
a winning win percentage, but the volume will bring that down.
But it's because of the volume that you rack up
your money. I'm going the other way. Less plays, higher
win percentage, you know, a higher return on investment. And
if you've got a smaller bank roll, that's what's the
most important, how much you can return on the size
of your bank roll.
Speaker 2: I agree, Marco one hundred percent. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like your approach, always have and it's that there's
there's something kind of cool when it's say, oh, Marco's
got an NBA play.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, we all got to pay attention.
Speaker 1: So thank you very much, Marco. Enjoy your mansion, your
sports betting empire. Empire Empire is when it said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm changing the I'm changing the passwords on the
Amazon account for the missus well real quick before we
turned Marc o loose. Uh you know you you alluded
to it.
Speaker 4: Andy, I do at least want to get Marco's thoughts
on this old Bears saga here. Uh, you know, like
it's just it's it's crazy, and you know, I guess
it's not that wild. You know, you have teams who
play outside of the state that they're in. But just
like the timing of all of this, so in case
people haven't heard about it, you know, there's Bears relocation
to what is a northern Indiana. So now we have
the Indiana Bears essentially, Uh, Marco, what did you think
when you first saw it? You know, reactions thoughts to it.
Since we don't get you to ran about wing sauces anymore,
I got to get you fired up about something, brother.
Speaker 3: Well, the funny part of it is, I woke up
yesterday to a text from my nephew that lives in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, and he sent me one of the memes,
uh Caleb Williams, you know, in his uniform. But then
it had, you know, the Indiana Bears, and I'm like,
what is all this about? You know, I just woke up.
And by the way, you know, I always like to
thank my my nephews that are still back, you know
in Indiana and Pennsylvania. They love to text me. They
forget that I'm three hours behind them. So I got
that text at like four point thirty in the morning.
So that was a great wave up. But it's like,
what is this about? Then I had to like look
and figure it out. And then I started reading the
stories and I'm like, there's no way that the Bears
They're gonna let Chicago Bears move out of Chicago, especially
now that they might actually be getting good. You know,
you think of all, you know, the historic franchises, but
then you think about it because it really isn't that
far from Chicago, and if they get a brand new stadium, yeah,
it could happen. Or is and I hate to say it,
for the state of Indiana, or are they just using you
guys as a bargaining chip to try to get what
they actually want in Chicago and being the situation that
we had here for in you know how long it
took before it became official for the A's to say
they're coming to Vegas. Okay, they kept dangling that, you know,
we put the shiny new stadium out there, that it
was going to happen and everything else. But you know,
they never committed immediately. They kept trying, I think, to
wait for that you know, last minute, you know, right
before midnight, get the pardon from the governor for the
stay of execution to end up staying in Oakland and
get the stadium that they wanted. It didn't happen. They
went to set They're going to play in Sacramento a
couple of years while the stadium is being built here.
But I can tell you from a Vegas standpoint, we
thought we were being used. You know that this wasn't
ever gonna happen, but yes, it finally did. So I think,
you know, the organization needs, you know, to use everything
to their that's that they're disposal to try to get
the best situation for them. And it is an exciting
time for Chicago Bears fans because they are going to
become relevant again. You know, you had a good season.
The future is bright, but you need a new stadium
and maybe this will get it done. If it's in Chicago,
so be it. If not, well Andy, maybe we'll come
visit you and watch a Bears game.
Speaker 1: I this was not on my bingo card for twenty
twenty six with the Bears moving to Indiana.
Speaker 4: So Marco just think you can not only piss off
everyone in Chicago when you fade the now you'll get
to piss off everyone in Indiana too, So you get
to double double lines. So when when you are on
bet on It telling people you're gonna want to fade
this team sooner rather than later, cough cough, Marco was right.
Now you get to piss off even more people. When
you rip off the go Bears.
Speaker 3: Sure there. Well, thanks for reminding me of that and
people being very upset with me during the NFL. But
I will just say this, Andy, and I'll put the
offer out there if the Bears do move to your state, uh,
and I'll buy the tickets, you know, since you know,
apparently I can afford it. It means you will go,
you know, and enjoy game together, and then we'll go
out for a big play to wings afterwards. How's that?
Hell yeah, buy a hell of a lot of wings.
Speaker 4: It'll be like that scene in Batman where the guy's like,
am I allowed to swim in this fountain? And they're
like no, sir, and he's like, well now I can
because I just bought the restaurant that'll be mark over
the Bears.
Speaker 1: Love it, Love it good black man.
Speaker 3: Got to love it.
Speaker 2: The gift that will keep on giving.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: So Dan, let's do some free plays and then I'll
try and give.
Speaker 1: Some context a little a little more of the inner
workings about what's going on here with this and do
I think this is going to be real or not?
Speaker 3: Love it?
Speaker 1: Let's let's do your WTFLFG because this is one of
your favorite lacrosse plays you've seen in a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is definitely.
Speaker 4: I mean last week I really loved Syracuse it was
the one v. Two and we gave that one out
for free here even though it was a client play.
Speaker 3: We're going to do the same thing, but.
Speaker 4: This time, folks, we're actually gonna fade Syracuse in college
lacrosse this weekend as they are taking on Harvard. That's right,
a little IVY League stretch for Syracuse. This is actually
a little stretch where they're going to be away from
their home stadium for six straight games. Insane scheduling spot
here for Sarahcuse and guys, for me, this is just
let me sell Syracuse high right now. Why is that
this is a team who I am bullish on for
the year, Andy, but hust now sitting at three and
zero and.
Speaker 3: All of those games came at home.
Speaker 4: If you watch the show last week, I told you
you know this is a team who at home is
one of the best teams in sports history. They have
one of the best home field advantages. They're at the
Carrier Dome. However, now that they're sitting at three and oh,
now they're the top dog This is the first time
since twenty twenty, during the COVID season that really wasn't
even a season that Syracuse is sitting.
Speaker 3: Atop the country. So this is a spot that they're
not used to.
Speaker 4: Also, head coach Gary Gate, not a lot of folks
really think that he has what it takes to maybe
make this team a full on national contender. It's the
first time that as a head coach he's ever sitting
with the team sitting at the number one. So now
they're the top dog. They're not the scrappy underdog anymore. Andy,
and you're heading away from home if they haven't gone
four and oh since that COVID season, So it's a
position they're not really used to. And if they wouldn't
have pulled off that outright win, yes they did in
the fashion in which they did it, just dominating Maryland,
who I think does their best lacrosse towards the end
of the year.
Speaker 3: It's why we liked Syracuse.
Speaker 4: If that win doesn't happen, this.
Speaker 3: Game is a pick.
Speaker 4: You know, you maybe even see Harvard getting you know,
at the home favorite here. There is no way in
hell that Sarahcuse should be laying three and a half
in their first road game of the season, especially a
team that doesn't really do all that great under gate
on the road. Last season, these teams played twice, Andy,
both games were a one goal game. One Harvard won,
and that was the regular season game. And then Harvard
also has playoff revenge because Sarahcuse is the team that
knocked them out of the NC DOUBLEA tournament. Why did
we like ques last week because Maryland knocked CS out
of the NC Double A. You s beat this team
in overtime last year, Andy to knock him out. So
I gave you a lot of reasons, folks. Why I
like this a lot? I told Andy, you know I'm
a flat unit better. This is one that I raised
up from my flat unit size, So I like this
one quite a bit. Bet responsibly, but take Harvard plus
three and a half, and Andy, if you're so bold,
sprinkle that two seventy on the money line a little bit.
That's your WTFLFG love it.
Speaker 1: I love it all right, let's do all around the
world with NBA heavy on some player props.
Speaker 3: We're not going all around the world. We're going to
the three million dollar man.
Speaker 2: Andy. He can he can go all around the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jazz and the Grizzlies Kyle Flapowski over twelve
and a half points. We got to take advantage of
these tanking teams when they're sitting their starters and these
bench guys get more playing time.
Speaker 2: We take advantage.
Speaker 1: Utah is sitting Nurkic in George and the last three
games without them, Flapowski's had fifteen to fifteen and sixteen points.
He's getting ten shots per game, shooting fifty five percent
from the field, adding a couple free throws. And they're
playing Memphis, who's sitting a ton of play. They're starting
Kyle Anderson at center, which is just it's it's crazy.
So two bad defensive teams here, I expect Flapowski to
do well. Ben Sheppard from my Pacers over one and
a half made threes. He's shooting the ball really well.
Over in five straight. He's getting four to five attempts
per game. He went three or four last night against
Washington and Dan my Pacers man, they they sat Siakam
against the Wizards. We told you to take Washington plus money.
Pacers made it close, but in the end they did
the right thing and they lost outright. So the back
to back now they're now they're sitting Pascal Siakam and
Ni Smith. So we're we were like, it's a little close.
Speaker 2: We almost won that game. We got to sit at
another starter.
Speaker 1: So but Ben Shepherd over his threes and then we'll
go Trey Murphy over three and a half assists. He's
gone over in five straight. He's getting eight potential assists
per game.
Speaker 2: And they're playing the Bucks, who aren't great defensively. Leave
it at that.
Speaker 1: So all right, uh, okay, So the Bears moving to Indiana.
Here's here's a little context here, Dan.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: So we elect Yeah, we elected.
Speaker 1: A governor and one of his platforms was he's like,
I'm gonna lower people's property taxes, and he did. But
what they didn't take into account was the big shortfall
shortfall in the state. But okay, and so they lowered taxes.
So everybody that owns a house like like my I say,
like thirty bucks a year, like I'm never gonna notice it,
but collectively.
Speaker 3: Marco level and no time saving thirty bucks a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So where did they take away all the money?
They decimated small towns and this policy was so bad
that everyone that voted for it had to have an
emergency session so they could vote against it after they
saw how bad it was.
Speaker 2: They desperately need a big win for small towns.
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why this particular administration is
going so.
Speaker 2: Hard after this. The area that they're talking about putting
this in Dan is.
Speaker 3: A shit shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no bars or restaurants big, Like, there's no
area to hold that many people.
Speaker 3: It would.
Speaker 1: It's gonna take you at least an hour to get
from Chicago to this place when you include the traffic
in every I know it's just on the other side
of the border, but there's not much up there. I
don't understand why Chicago and the Bears would even entertain this, Like,
I think they've already done a lot of damage to
their fan base even if they end up staying in Chicago.
Speaker 2: But do they keep the name Chicago if this happens?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you don't call the you don't call
the New York Jets, the New Jersey Jets, the New
New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Giants, you know what I mean? Like San Francisco forty
nine ers play like seven.
Speaker 4: Years away from their stadium, you know, what I mean,
like they they should be the Santa Clara forty nine ers.
So I think you can get away with it.
Speaker 2: I think you can get away. Well, they at least
play in the same state, like like they're not playing
in Arizona or the least.
Speaker 4: What the Giants and Jets do they play in New Jersey?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That was that was the
one that got that that got brought up.
Speaker 4: But it's not like it's not like, you know, you're
going from yes, okay, they're all the way up in Chicago,
but it's how it's not that crazy of.
Speaker 3: A leap, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, man, It's just it's surprising to
me that the Bears, they finally like are doing things
right on the field, and then from an organizational standpoint,
they're just like, I'd move to Indiana, Screw all these
people who will suffer it on the water in one
of the coldest and windya stadiums forever and ever. And
now that we're good, you have to go to Indiana
to watch us play.
Speaker 2: I mean, Rob is Rob is right, It's it's hamm
in Indiana.
Speaker 1: There it is a shipping port with a lot of
smoke stacks, like it's if you've ever been there, it's
what makes the story even more crazy to think they're
just gonna plunk down US stadium.
Speaker 4: I mean, at this point, why you know, why not,
why not just bring signetti on as a coach can
make it, Make them the Indiana bearsers, you know what
I mean, change the change into the collars Indiana Bears.
Speaker 1: And and I will also say we're not great with
Indiana has not been great with stadiums.
Speaker 2: We built this new stadium. It was way more expensive
than we thought.
Speaker 1: We spent two hundred million dollars on a retractable roof
that we never use, and now it's those stories.
Speaker 2: It's like rusted shut. So it doesn't it doesn't even work. Uh,
it's twice as much.
Speaker 1: To upkeep as they told us it was gonna be.
So I'm just saying I don't have a whole lot
of faith that that my state is going to be
able to.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be able to woo many many people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could they call them the Chicago Ish
Bears Chicago Chicago, Like you know, so this is I mean,
this is just like there's there's teams moving to new
cities and then there's.
Speaker 2: No We're gonna just build stadiums.
Speaker 4: If there was any team that makes the most sense
for it's Chicago because obviously Chicago's style pizza is it pizza?
Speaker 3: Technically? Are they the Bears?
Speaker 4: Are they the Chicago Bears? Technically it was a hell
of a lot thicker and uh and you know, it's
basically a pie. So there wasn't. If there was anyone
that would make it make sense, it would be Chicago
and the confusing style of pizza that they.
Speaker 2: Would have it it is. I mean, you do.
Speaker 4: Chicago the Chicago Bears now with one hundred percent less Chicago.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I don't know the whole
I when when I first heard it, I thought, okay, yeah,
like like everybody, Oh, it's a negotiating tactic. This is
a pretty hillacious negotiating tactic to say we're we're just
going to build a stateium in another state. So god, yeah,
very very very very strange. But you're right, this is
a very bearsy thing. Like we finally got our coach,
we finally got a quarterback, we got a defense, We're
moving to Indiana.
Speaker 2: Wait wait what I.
Speaker 4: Just get a beyond meat sponsorship be called the like
beyond Bears, you know what I mean. Now we're beyond
the border and we're we're still the Bears, the same
great taste that you know and love. Andy now just
made out of bugs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just here, Dan, I'm sending you something. If
you can download that and pull it up here, I'll
go over the promo real quick and then we'll get
out of here.
Speaker 2: Guys.
