Speaker 1: Allah.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the best sports betting show on the planet.
This is Wager Talk Today and I am your host,
Andy Lang. It is Thursday. We got a loaded show.
We're gonna start talking about the UFC event this weekend
with Kyle Anthony, Dave Mason hopefully gonna join us to
talk about the inside scoop on where the sharp money
is coming. And we're gonna talk to Nick Parsons. We're
gonna get his thoughts on CFL as well as some
college football games. So Giohanny is recording for UFC, so
we don't have a steam report from him, but you
guys get the gift that keeps on given it's my
steam report where I fumble my way through this one
and try and replace Giohanny for a few minutes. All right,
let's start with preseason. There's really not much that we
haven't talked about this week. Looks like Las Vegas is
up to five. There's been some action on the over
open at thirty five. That's not thirty seven, thirty seven
and a half at some places. Cincinnati is minus six
and a half. Dan and I are going to talk
about that game between the Bengals and at the Eagles
and the Colts are all the way up to minus
six and a half here in Indianapolis. I can tell
you they have announced Anthony Richardson is gonna get the
first shot. And this is a full blown quarterback battle.
There is there this this spot has not been determined,
so expect really really hard play from the Indianapolis Colts.
Maybe look at a first half on that one against Baltimore,
because Baltimore doesn't look like they're playing for anything. Colts,
they're they're, they're gonna be, They're gonna be showing their stuff.
All right, we go to w NBA. Got a few
games tonight, h Chicago Sky have that that number has
gone up on the total open at one fifty six
and a half. That's not one sixty one. I got
a free play in that one coming up. I'll tell
you guys about that one. My thoughts on that one
over has been bet up Indiana Phoenix and money has
come in on the fever. Phoenix opened up at minus six.
That thing's down to minus three and a half, and
nobody's betting on the Connecticut Son. We we already know that.
So only a few games in MLB. I do not
seem much. I think the only thing that jumps out
is there are some books that have moved this Seattle
Chicago White Sox line to like minus two ninety five.
So knock yourself out if you want to lay minus
three hundred on a baseball game. That is insanity to me.
So all right, let's talk some college football. Nick Parson's
best jacket in the business, hands down, Nick, How are
you today?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Andy, Yeah, looking forward to getting into it.
I mean a great time of year. College football NFL,
I mean week one of the preseason starts tonight.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, man, Let's talk a little college football.
You gave us three teams to look out for last week.
Let's do it again. Let's talk about some teams that
you see some surprise value in that may be a
little bit off the beaten path for people. What do
you like?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, So just a reminder, last week I gave
out three dark horse picks to make the College Football Championship.
That was Boise State, Navy, and James Maddison. And so yeah,
here's some a look at three other teams. And maybe
the people in the can agree or disagree with me
in the comments here focusing on programs that are outside
the top tier favorites like Texas and Ohio State, but
still have a legitimate shot at winning the national championship.
And so my first one, andy is on Clemson and
that's available at plus one thousand at fan Duel, and
so I mean they have an elite level talent. They
have quarterback Cape club Nick, and so he's a Heisman
dark horse. He threw for thirty six hundred yards and
thirty six touchdowns last season. He has a dynamic receiving corps.
Eighty one percent of their production is returning from last year,
and so that's the most in the entire FBS. Davo Sweeney,
he of course has a winning pedigree, and so I
think that the Tigers are poised for a deep playoff run.
That's team number one. And the second team that I
like is Penn State at plus eight hundred at DraftKings,
and so they have an excellent quarterback and Drew Aller.
Of course, he has twenty three wins as a starter.
He has many strong running backs returning in their defense
was among the nation's best last year. They had their
first college football playoff appearance, and so that sort of
signals a breakthrough here under James Franklin, so I think
that they're a serious contender to pull off an upset
as well. And then finally, I like LSU. This is
at plus eighteen hundred. They have Garrett Neusemeyer. He threw
for over four thousand yards last season, and they have
a top ranked transfer portal class coming into this year.
So they have a tough SEC schedule, but their offensive
firepower and their quarterbacks experience it also makes them a
legitimate shot I think at possibly winning the national championship.
Speaker 2: I love what you said about Clemson returning. Can you
say that number again about how many how many guys
they're returning in like that was a really really important
thing that we need to take note of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eighty one percent of their production is returning. So
that's the most in the FBS.
Speaker 2: That's that's man in the age of nil and everything,
continuity could reign supreme.
Speaker 1: I love that. Look, Yeah, absolutely love that.
Speaker 2: Look let's talk CFL here real quick. You got Lions
and the tiger cat. It just felins galor in this one.
You got lions, you got tigers cats. To get lions
tiger cats? What's your breakdown on this game here in CFL.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure if you were to look at the
line there, you'd probably guess who I'm on in this one, Andy,
But yeah, Hamilton here. It's now six and two after
six straight victories. It most recently won twenty eight to
twenty four at Edmonton last weekend, and so they've won
three straight on the road, both straight up and against
the spread. One of those games was was a thirty
seven thirty three win at BC two weeks ago. The
last time that Tycats played at home was a month ago.
They won twenty three twenty over Ottawa and they weren't
able to cover the five and a half points spread
in that one. For BC, it's three and five and
it's been off that lost to Hamilton, so it had
a bye week last week. The Lions they've dropped two
straight at home, both straight up and against the spread.
But now here in this revenge spot on the road.
I think at the very least they're going to keep
this one close enough to cover with the points. Of course,
I'm not ruling out the outright victory for the For
the ty Cats, they have a high profile game at
six and one. Saskatchewan off after this, so it sort
of sets up classically as a letdown spot. They had
the three straight up and against the spread wins, all
on the road. Now they return home, but they have
a look ahead game to the best in the West,
the six and one at Saskatchewan. And so when you
add the letdown spot and the look ahead spot, that
usually in my world sets up as a trap game.
And so I do think this is kind of a trap.
So conversely, it's a pivotal moment for the Lions. They're
off the two straight losses, they're three and five, they're
playing with revenge, they're off the bye week. I mean,
it's it's, you know, I hate to say a do
or die, but it's almost like a do or dive
for BC here. So for me, betting, betting for the
most part, is about betting great situations, and so I
just think that this one sets up really well for BC.
Speaker 2: I mean, your middle name is take the points exactly.
I love it, man. Yeah, and I had to tee
you up, but yeah, we know when Nick Parsons comes on,
you're getting You're getting of us, You're getting a team
with the points as always. So love the continuity, and
I love that you stick to it. When you have
something that works, you stick to it. We always try
and find these trends and try and find these streaks
and just keep writing it. So I love that you
come on and you're always taking a team with the points.
Your record speaks for itself. It's doing really well. So
tell us about that and tell us what you got
going on over at sports Memo.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm the number one handicapper over at Sports
Memo guys, since the beginning of November twenty twenty four
in all sports. I've been playing with house money in
seven different sports since last summer. This year, i'm playing
at house or it's in the CFL, So make sure
to go check out my CFL packages that I have
up for this weekend. And yeah, if you want to
know a little bit about Sports Memo guys, they have
lots of different specials going on over there this summer
as well. Andy talked about I'm not sure if he's
talked about it yet, but they have a flexpix option
which is very similar to wager Talk. There's also five
Dollars Wednesday, where every Wednesdays there's five dollars packages, and
then also fifty percent off Fridays where every handicapper releases
one package as well.
Speaker 2: Great stuff from Nick Parsons always brings you a team
with the points, good college football and the best jacket
in the game.
Speaker 1: Nick.
Speaker 2: Awesome stuff, great segment. I appreciate you. Go check him
out over at Sports Memo. Thanks a lot, Nick for
coming on every Thursday. Nick Parsons. Everybody go check him
out over at Sports Memo. Let's do all around the world.
Let's get some free plays for the people. We got
a couple of plays here that are going to be
in some sports. I bet you didn't see coming. So
let's start with and we talked about riding streaks and
trends and dang it, we just keep coming back to
these old and Laida braves. We're gonna fade them with
the Marlins. Today Carrosco was sharp first time pitching for Atlanta.
He's thirty eight years old. That was his first start
in a long time. He's still got a five point
six aer a one point five to seven whip, and
pez for Miami has been really good. Two point seven ERA,
zero point nine to four whip. That is from Ben
Burns on the Wager Talk Free picks page at wager
talk dot com. If you want even more free picks,
go to the free picks page. A lot of really
good stuff up there. All right, we're gonna go to
the Dream and the Sky. I mentioned this game earlier.
I like this Sky team over seventy four and a half.
Atkins's back for the Sky. They still don't have Angel Reese,
so they're keeping this number low. They scored seventy eight
points on Tuesday going over their team total. We talked
about how many injuries the Sky team has. When they
start getting these players back, look for them to go over.
The Dream have given up over this total two opponents
in six out of their last seven games. Sneaky, sneaky
total here that the books have not a with Atkins
back in the lineup. Chicago Sky over seventy four and
a half. Going to NASCAR Shane van Gisbergen. I know
none of you know who is unless you watch NASCAR.
Here's what you need to know about him. He is
a road course specialist. This man knows how to drive
road courses better than any driver in NASCAR. He has
won the last three road courses. That's insane. That is
like almost impossible to do. And that's how good he is.
They're racing at Watkins Glenn Road Course this week and
he screwed up this race last year and he's already
been quoted saying he is still mad about it. He
wants his revenge. Look for him to get the win again.
You're getting him at plus one thirty five. Trust me,
if this man qualifies on the front row, minus one
fifty for him to win, so you can lock in
Shane van Gisbergen to win Watkins Glenn. Nick Parsons mentioned it.
We have a killer deal for flex picks. Three day
Flex pass only forty eight dollars, saving you over thirty percent.
All about flexibility. You choose the handicapper that you want
each day, every single play. They were least. You want
to plan ahead, you can schedule picks in a week
in advance. You want to switch experts, great, you want
to go with Nick, Fine, you want to go with
somebody else, Fine, it's up to you. This is why
the flex picks work so good that you get the
power to choose which handicapper you want. Three day Flex
passes Live, do not miss it. Only forty eight bucks
saves you over thirty percent. For example, I have a
five percent best bet that is up in UFC, So
you want to use me for the next couple of days,
you can. You want to use Kyle Anthony, who we're
bringing on right now, absolutely get those flex picks that way,
you can use that one on Kyle. Kyle, Welcome, Welcome.
I think you and I had really good weeks in
UFC last week. Correct. I think you nailed yours right,
Your big play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, almost almost was the nice, you know, four
to zero night for us. The only miss was the
Ribavic's decision. That was a absolute wild decision there. But
I mean wild fight and say, wow, wow fight, but
awesome hit the four percent, and uh, we're coming off
nice back to back weeks and you know, we got
a good card this weekend, a great card next weekend.
So uh pumped about what's gonna be going on the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Justin says, white shirt Kyle, laundry day. No, I like
the white shirt, no laundry day. If he comes on
in pajamas, then it's then it's laundry day or no shirt.
Then we're really looking at So yeah, yeah, you mentioned
it is a such a weird card, Kyle, Like, the
matchmakers had to have been drunk when they made this card.
Some of these.
Speaker 4: Normally it's just before, just before these pay per views,
they just you know, mash a couple guys together.
Speaker 5: Hey, this one's got three losses or two losses. This
one got to right.
Speaker 4: One of these guys we're gonna We're just gonna get
rid of at the end of this fight. Like, it's
pretty much kind of what happens.
Speaker 2: It is cutting season. I like the Juice Man versus
Rafael Cerkeric. Come on, be a break. Well, let's go
to the main event. Let's talk Anthony Hernandez and Leeds.
And just because it's a weird guard, there's a lot
of really good betting opportunities on this one. So let's
break down this main event, Kyle, Hernandez leads, who you got?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So in the main event, here we've got Anthony Hernandez,
he's minus three thirty. On the comeback, here we've got
Roman told say, he's plus two seventy. Now we all
know obviously you look at you know Hernandez here he
is a cardio machine. He is the definition of what
weaponizing cardio is. He comes forward, he's relentless. He'll push
you up against the fence, hold you there, you know,
keep you there, look to take you down a little bit,
rinse and repeat. And what he really looks to do is,
you know, his skills are not that high when you're
talking about just on the feet, but what he can
do is he could just be relentless and really just
drain and melt his opponent. He's been very good at
doing that overall. It's worked out very well for him,
and that's really what he does. That's his path here.
Speaker 5: Now you look at Roman on the other side here,
he is an elite level grappler.
Speaker 4: The guy has you know, he's a world champion grappler overall,
and you know he has the thirty three percent takedown
defense rate. It's not the greatest, but it's more because
he's just comfortable off of his back when anyone's looking
to shoot, he's kind of like, okay, this is all right,
this is home for me. And even when he's on
his back, we've seen it, even against Jack Hermanson.
Speaker 5: You know, when he's down he.
Speaker 4: Has these slick reversals, these flick sweeps, these you know,
his transitions are just tricky. He just does a lot
of great things on the ground, and we're also kind
of seeing him come in and really like career best
shape over the last couple of fights. Although he's the
older guy, I think he has really looked good. But
what I'm looking at here, and you know, you look
at Fluffy, Fluffy is a you know, a great fighter
and all those things, but at this particular price tag,
he does have some holes in his game, and I
think one of the biggest holes in his game is
that he can be hurt. You know, this guy has
been hurt and probably all of his fights he does
come back and win, you know, credit to him and
pushing through adversity. You know, we saw him against Perera.
Parrera lands a beautiful bodykick early, almost old of him,
but again he was able to push through all of
a sudden, implement his game plan, melt Perera and get
the victory. And even we saw it against you, Edmund Schabbazian.
You know, Shavazia was a guy that you know, I
don't really rate that high, but even there, you know,
you got Hernandez diving in looking for takedowns and all
of a sudden, you know, Shabazian has this you know
front choke on him and brings Fluffy to the ground.
You know, there are these things that he has to
get through, and I think that's a little bit dangerous here,
especially at this price tag.
Speaker 5: But you got Roman who has big power in his hands.
Speaker 4: The guy has a very big upside finishing ability, and
he's elite on the ground. So that's really where I
think this gets interesting is because Buffy's gonna shoot. He's
not gonna look this hand, he's not gonna look.
Speaker 5: To be at range.
Speaker 4: He's just gonna shoot and shoot, and that is going
to provide opportunities I think for Roman here. You know,
Roman's a guy that does have that that grappling, he
does have that elite level you know ability on the ground,
and if Fluffy's looking to continually push there and maybe
stick his head on the wrong spot, it's gonna offer
opportunities for Roman here.
Speaker 5: I think this line is why here.
Speaker 4: I do think that you do have you know, a
path here Forernandez to really kind of work that cardio.
But I think that the upside here the damaging shots
on the feet that Roman can land, that he can
possibly hurt him on the feet plus on the ground.
I think this line is too wide to me. This
is a dogg or pass spot. I think the plus.
Speaker 5: Two seventy is very generous here in this spot. So
I do like Roman to get the job done.
Speaker 2: All right, Wager Talk TV says Kyle and a onesie
for laundry day would be epic. Kyle, do you even
own do you own a onesie?
Speaker 1: I might pull one on.
Speaker 5: I might if I have a good winning day, maybe
i'll I'll put on next week.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, so here, so here's what I'll do. If
you end up with a onesie, you and I will
pick a fight. We'll go head to head on because
I do have a onesie. My buddy used to My
buddy used to work for Fireball and they made one
hundred Fireball Christmas onesies and I got one of them.
This thing is the epic onesie I have ever seen.
So if you get a onesie, you and I will
go head to head and the loser.
Speaker 5: Can't on it. That's a win. That's a win.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Alright, let's go to another fight here that
you want to talk about, and then, of course Kyle
and I are gonna do sell me. We're going to
talk about Edwards and Priscilla Kashawea. I know where you're
going with this one. It's sneaky and I love it.
Talk this one out.
Speaker 4: So here we've got Jocelyn Edwards here, she's minus three
fifty on the comeback. Here on Cashuetta, she is plus
two fifty five. Now, you know, you did see Edwards
come in at the UFC twenty five years old, you know,
and not really looking that great. And I think over
the last four years or so, she's really started to
just elevate her skill set. She started to round out
her skill set look a little bit better overall and really.
Speaker 5: Just well rounded.
Speaker 4: Now on the other side, here you've got Kashuwetta here,
who is the zombie girl, and they call her that
for all the right reasons.
Speaker 5: She's gonna come forward, she's gonna eat punches.
Speaker 4: They must be brain flavored, the way that she just
absolutely just absorbs damage, lackluster with striking defense, does not
care if she gets it, but she's gonna push out
volume if she can. And you look at it, she's
got a negative striking differential, a very large one. She
lands four significant strikes per minute. And absorbs seven. Not
that good, very hittable in the pocket. And you know,
one of the things that I think is even even
adds to this is that this is short notice for her.
You know, this is even on top of that she's
short noticed, she's hittable, and you also add in the
fact that.
Speaker 5: She's thirty six years old.
Speaker 4: So there's a lot that doesn't really add up for
her in this spot. Especially obviously we're looking at the
price tag. But the largest advantage for her here, I
think is the grappling. You know, I think she can
piece up catch aweight on the feet. I think she
can get the takedowns. Anyone who's looked to take Cashaway
down is able to Priscilla just does not have get
up ability, doesn't have scrambling ability, doesn't have submission game,
and she can get stuck on her back. And that's
where I think you could really see Edwards finding success.
Over her last four fights, she landed ten takedowns. So
I think it's a spot where it's a clear vulnerability.
It's in the Apex cage. I think she can cut
that distance, get these takedowns. And you look at Priscilla,
out of her six career losses. Four of them are
by submission. I do think that you're gonna see Edwards
get top control and kind of have a choice between
you know, you know, ground and pound finish or submission,
And that's really where I'm going with this year. I
do think that she's gonna find that top control, She's
gonna find the ability to really just kind of wear
on her again short notice or Priscilla here, I do
like Jocelyn Edwards inside the distance getting off the minus
three fifty number and you get inside the distance at
plus one eighty five, and I really think she puts
a stamp on this fight, and I think very low
of Priscilla.
Speaker 5: So I do think Edwards gets to finish.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that breakdown. Johncell Edwards and
finishes do not go together in the same sentence very often,
But that's, I know, right, absolutely fantastic. Look, So all right,
let's bring on Dan and let's do sell me. This
is here's the concept. Dan picks a fight from off
the card. Me and Kyle do not know what it is,
and then Dan assigns each of us to fight her,
and we have to make the case for it. You
let us know in the comments section who you like
the best? All right, Dan, what's the fight? Who do
we get assigned? Here?
Speaker 6: One of my favorite segments every week, not only because
of my MS paint graphic that we have here, But guys,
I think this one is an interesting one. I don't
think in all of our week's doing sell me have
we had a situation where a fighter was scheduled to
fight somebody else, fight gets canceled, and now we have
a new fight here. So I'm looking at ode Osbourne
taking on Steve Erseg.
Speaker 1: That's the fight for me, and I get it.
Speaker 6: This price is, for lack of a better term, gentlemen,
dogshit you have almost like I mean, shop around.
Speaker 2: This is like a five.
Speaker 6: It's almost six to one. Favorite the haven er Seg.
He was originally scheduled and correct me if I'm wrong, guys,
I might be reading this wrong. Jungsung Park was the
original fight that Ersig was supposed to have. I'm not
sure when it was canceled. That's why I defer to you, guys.
But huge favorite now as Odai Osbourne is the dog
that you're getting around like plus four point thirty on
the take back. So Kyle is the way that I'm
reading this correct is huge favorite in Ersegh. Does this
dog have it even a semblance of a chance. You
better hope they do, because your job is to sell
me on ode Osbourne.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Kyle?
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, so you look at Steve rsek Here.
Now this guy, you know he's he's fought. You know,
he's on a three fight losing streak.
Speaker 5: Not good.
Speaker 4: Yes, he has lost to some high level guys, but really,
you know, the way he even got to the title
was knocking out Mat Chanel and Matt Chanell.
Speaker 5: That's what he does best is get knocked out.
Speaker 4: Anyone who fights him gets that free T shirt that
said I knocked out Matt Chanel.
Speaker 5: Since then, I haven't been that impressed.
Speaker 4: Really, Wither you have a scrappy title fight with Pantosia.
Speaker 5: But you know, I do think that this is a spot.
Speaker 4: Where you can really have oday who can go out there.
He's gonna have the five entre each advantage. He's going
to be more explosive. We see be a little chenny
there in the pocket. I think he can be hit.
He is really primarily a wrestler, but he has really
just kind of fell in love with the striking and
I think that can help.
Speaker 5: O Day here. I know it's short notice, but it's
going to be really interesting in that first round.
Speaker 4: After the first round it could get a little bit
more on the side, but I think that O Day
can come forward utilize some of that range, have the
more power land, the more damaging shots. So I'm going
O Day Osbourne to get the job done.
Speaker 2: Well, Poor poor Kyle.
Speaker 7: Kyle, you had, you had a brutal job to do.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 5: Wait, me and Dan both wearing white shirts three day.
Speaker 1: I literally went, you can't do me like that.
Speaker 4: You can't do me on laundry day like that, you
can't do on.
Speaker 1: The white shirts. I was like, oh shit, the chat
already hates me. I'm gonna bat.
Speaker 6: I'm about to get even more hate for the white
shirt on laundree Day.
Speaker 1: One thing I will.
Speaker 6: Say, Andy, Sure, it was a tough spot for Kyle
on the hand cap, but you also have to explain
to me why a guy who's lost three straight fights
is worth laying six dollars on. So maybe it's not
so easy.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, he's lost to either the current champion or
champion Contenders. So let's take a look at Odi Osbourne.
Odie Osbourne won his last fight. Congratulations. He knocked out
a guy who won a split decision on Contender series.
And by the way, Odie lost the first round in
that one. Odie's thirteen and eight. He's terrible. He makes
dumb mistakes every single fight. He just doesn't have that
dog in him. And they want Steve ver seg to
get back on the winning way. S Steve ver Sa
was a darling. He saved a couple of fights for them.
He got elevated way too high. This is for him
to get back on track. Striking is going to be better.
Cardio is going to be better, even if he gets
it on the ground. I think he's going to be
better than Odi. This is a no brainer here on
ersag And by the way, Dan Park, the reason Park
didn't fight was because they moved him to get his
ass kicked on Saturday and Kyle and I both cashed
the fading Park, so that's why Park didn't fight. So
it's all day And Kyle, shout out to you for
taking the Odie Osbourne side. That was that was very
very nice of you, Kyle.
Speaker 6: I think for the first time I have screwed you
and sell me. I mean you, I like the reach advantage. However,
get back to.
Speaker 5: The five in reach advantage. So he's got always focus
on the reach.
Speaker 6: So if we're only on the reach, Kyle wins that one,
I think the I think the decision may go to
Anny on that one. Comment below, we already got Kylie
Reynolds saying all day, let us know And if you
have any other questions for fights, ask these guys and
the comments below. They'll be hopping in the comments up
to fight time. But great stuff. As always, gentlemen onesie
out white.
Speaker 1: Shirts are right.
Speaker 2: So Kyle, in all seriousness, that fight is not on
our official plays. Let's get serious for a second. Let's
talk about real plays that we do have for clients.
Kyle tever everyone, what you have up for this UFC card?
Speaker 4: Yes, so, like you said, coming off another profitable evening
last week, really like this spot here. And again, like
we say, sometimes it's not about these high level cards.
People love betting the high level cards. They're the sexy
ones or the you know, maybe more recognizable names. But
what makes this for profitable is the fact that you
can bet it year round. You know, there's six seven
whatever it is weeks off, So this is another spot here.
Not the highest level card, but there are some good
betting opportunities here. So I do have a four percent
play up right now. Do have two other plays with
it that are at plus money. So really like the
spots that I have right now. Gonna be adding to
it as you were closer to fight night. Probably about
five plays overall.
Speaker 5: Can check it out wager talk dot com.
Speaker 2: Kyle Anthony one of the best, coming off another properable weekend. Kyle,
let's do this again. Let's see and I profit. Next
this Saturday we come back and talk about how well
we did. So thanks very much everybody in the chat. Kylie.
Kylie didn't know the athletics game already started. Yeah, those
day games, they get you. They get you all all
the time. So all right, Dan, come on in here.
We're gonna talk the Bengals and the Eagles here. Actually, Dan,
can you can you put yourself on screen real quick?
I have to say something here. Oh god, no, no,
I really mean this. So one of the reasons why
I agreed to host the show is I get to
work with great people. Tuesday morning, I logged in, told Dan,
we're gonna have to say goodbye to our dog. I
didn't even really ask for anything. I just said, hey,
we may need to have a host on standby and
with them a short period of time. You had that
day covered, you had Wednesday covered, you had Thursday covered.
I didn't. I didn't ask for it. You you guys
just did it. And that the world to me. Thank you, Kelly,
thank you, Chris, thank you Johnny, thank you Dan. It's
those little gestures. And wise man once told me, don't
chase money, chase people. Always work with the best people.
And I just want to say thank you because you
guys are the best people. Dan, thank you, brother. Yeah,
really really want me that?
Speaker 1: And Andy, I mean I've been with Wager Talk.
Speaker 6: I think I joined around twenty twenty, so I've been
here with the company for five years. You know, started
just doing a little bit of production here and there.
And you know I can echo those same sentiments. You
know what what keeps you with the company for more
than a couple of years in in uh, you know,
today's world is loving the people that you work with,
loving what you do. And you know I don't just
say this, Uh, you know because because you know we're
on air here together.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: I I love working with the team that we have.
I mean, you know, it really does end up becoming
like a little mini family. We have a very small
but mighty team, so a thousand percent, dude, we've all
been through it. I mean, Johnny Detroit said I like
animals more than people, so so that's probably a surprise
to no one. But but yeah, that's absolute no brainer man.
You know that, you know, we all got your back
and uh and you know, props to you for rebound
into doing a hell of a job. Man, when when
we even had to put down our cat this last year,
there was no way in hell I would have been
hosting a show twenty four hours after. So he dropped
some drop some love here Andy in the live comments,
hit that like button and below drop some good words.
But yeah, no brainer, man. I love the team that
we work with, and you got our back. We got
your back, brother.
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you this. I didn't even
know we were gonna get the diagnosis on Monday night,
but Monday during the day, I was like, I'm gonna
do it. I'm gonna do a video with Guinness and
we decided to do Rangers over three and a half
team total, and it won. Guinness went out on top
one to no Baby.
Speaker 6: Well, not surprising, not surprising at all, all right, not
surprising at all.
Speaker 2: All Right, let's do this. Let's talk Bengals. Let's talk
your Philadelphia Eagles huge line. This thing was like minus one.
Now it's Bengals minus six and a half over under
thirty five and a half. I love your comment right
before the show, what'd you say?
Speaker 6: Yeah, So for me, what we got six and a
half now that we're seeing for Cincinnati and this thing
opened at a pick them. So I'm just saying, that's
a hell of a line move. And that's what happens
in preseason, right. I was talking with one of the
people in the chat. Preseed is one of the very
few times that a coach actually tells you what their
game plan is. And under Nick Sirianni, the Eagles, they
really haven't cared about the preseason. It's just not what
they do in their championship season last year they played
twenty one games, so they try and make sure that
they have their starters for the long haul. Cincinnati, I
think is seeing how horribly they started last year, including
Joe Burrow's injury into that, and they're saying we don't
want to stumble out of the gate. I think you're
gonna see that across the NFL. You talked about with
the Colts, what they're doing. Anthony richardson playing. I think
you're not going to see starters playing whole games, but
you're going to see starters more often here in the
preseason simply because of how awful offense is started last season.
And fantasy players know that. Well, now this game specifically, Andy,
and we'll talk, you know, with Dave Mason about these
line moves that we've been seeing. But starting at around
a pick a minus one is shooting up to six
and a half, all because of the announcement that Joe
Burrow is going to play a couple series. We had
this thing move up a touchdown because Joe Burrow is
going to play a couple series.
Speaker 1: I don't get.
Speaker 6: That, because outside of Joe Burrow, you know who's going
to see Is he gonna play majority of the game, Andy, No,
he's going to play a couple of series.
Speaker 1: Does that mean one? Does that mean two? Do they
go down?
Speaker 6: They get a scoring drive and they pull them out.
That's what you're not positive on. Who's behind Jake Joe Burrow.
You have Jake Brown, Desmond riddery four in So these
are the quarterbacks that you're going to be seeing for
majority of the game. If you want to play a
Bengals first quarter, be my guest. Do you want to
play a Bengals first half, be my guest, but a
whole game. The Eagles quarterbacks who were going to be
seeing action Tanner McKee, who was a major trade target
for a lot of people, one of the better backups
in the league. You have Dorian Thompson Robinson, who certainly
isn't any worse than Desmond Ridder And then you also
might be seeing hometown kid and Kyle McCord, who led
the nation last year in passing yards, top ten in
Heisman voting. So if we're just talking quarterbacks forcing line moves,
I don't get Joe Burrow playing a couple series meaning
that the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Should be six and a half point favorites.
Speaker 6: So send the Hayden the comments, Danz a Homer, Yeah,
we know it. Give me that six and a half
with the Eagles, because just because Joe Burrow's playing a
series or two. Forget it, man, give me the points
with the Birds at home. Do the Eagles care about preseason?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Has this line move gotten out of whack? If it's
minus four minus.
Speaker 6: Three, okay, I'm all in on the Bengals, But six
and a half crazy to me because a quarterback who
may not be one hundred percent still is playing a
couple series.
Speaker 1: Give me the six and a half.
Speaker 2: Andy, Wow, you are passionate about this. You already brought
it up. Bengals first half minus three and a half.
I'm not sure you guys even score in the first half.
I don't think you guys care. And let's face it,
you're better than this, Dan, Your team is better than preseason.
You guys don't care.
Speaker 6: I have a little more aspirations than a preseason Yes, so.
Speaker 2: It's I mean, seriously, Dan, look at these two teams
and it doesn't it tell you about the ownership in
the direction. The Bengals are playing their starters in a
preseason game. That's their goal. And then the Eagles are like, no,
we don't care about this because we need our guys
for postseason. I have Bengals minus three and a half
in the first half. I do think Burrow is gonna
at least put up one touchdown, and if he does,
I don't know if you guys even And the other thing,
the Bengals defense is terrible. They actually need the reps.
They need the reps.
Speaker 1: Starters are bad, I mean is terrible. The Bengals starters
on defense are bad.
Speaker 6: What is the third or four string playing against the
Heisman top ten guy?
Speaker 2: Look like that.
Speaker 6: That's just for me where it got a little bit
out of whack. If you wanted to bet Cincy before
the line move, more power to you. And again in
the first half, love that play Andy a full game
asking him to win by a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Plus that's a little head scratch into me.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. Yeah. By the way, I would like
to go back and add a little bit more to
the Browns under five and a half wins. Dan, They
just lost the corner back for the season and Nickett
has already hurt. It's like, how are you already hurt?
The bad franchises are just always going to be bad franchises.
Many they cannot get out of their own way. So amazing,
amazing stuff, Dan, Do we have Dave Mason or I haven't.
We do have Dave Mason. Okay, raid to rock with
Dave Mason here, Dave, We've talked onesies, We've talked NFL preseason,
We've talked UFC.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: So, uh, do you have experience in any of the
any of the above.
Speaker 7: Experience I haven't played in any of the above, but
I've marketed in.
Speaker 10: All the above, So I hope that the experience you're
looking for.
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, it's NFL here, right, it's you know, it's
pre season. And I always get a kick out of
every year you see on Twitter people saying only a
degenerate with that preseason and that's about as opposite from
being through, you know, or as it should be. I
mean this this is the time, that easiest time to
make money on NFL during the regular season. Man, those
odds are so so solid, but now.
Speaker 10: They're all over. I mean, I heard you did, heard
you guys talking, and you know what I'm gonna.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna follow you on that. Eagles plus six and
a half.
Speaker 7: By the way, why not you guys got me able
to the winner to the to the to the to
the winner circle.
Speaker 10: Last week with Neil Magne. I appreciate that, No, but
I mean these odds moved.
Speaker 7: I mean they're violent, They're absolutely violent, these odds moved that.
I mean just just tonight's game. Colts Ravens open to
Indie minus one. That's six and a half now total
one from thirty four to thirty six and a half, Bengals, Eagles,
Birds minus two and thirty five now minus six and
a half, thirty seven, Greater Seahawks minus one and a
half and thirty four and a half. That's Vegas minus
five and thirty seven. Now, I mean, sharps are I
mean I looked at our sharp action and it's just
all over the freaking place.
Speaker 10: We're in middles out there.
Speaker 11: I mean, trust me, people start is I mean, it's
if you're.
Speaker 10: Doing going degenerates bet on NFL preseason, that's the opposite
of being true.
Speaker 2: So Dave, all right, pull back the curtain here a
little bit, open up. Be honest. When you move lines,
is it because of sharp action or is it because
of news? Like do you move the line when it's like, oh,
Anthony Richardson is going to be playing a lot like?
Is that when the line move comes for you? Or
is it when you take the sharp action.
Speaker 11: Well, that's an extremely correlated thing, right, I mean, especially
in preseason, it's all about information. It's just a race
for information a lot and so many of the sharp bets,
you know, it is stuff like that, especially on the preseason,
and you know, I don't I don't want to get
the little violin now and anybody shed a tear for us.
Speaker 10: But there's so many there's so many.
Speaker 9: Markets up that That's why some of these sharp bets
betters are so good because they can just concentrate on
one league or one team and they know everything about
the Bengals or or even or even more like like
college basketball friends, like these small teams like more head
stage or something.
Speaker 7: There's guys who know those teams way better than we
do and have more information. So that's what sharp the
Chruse sharps do. They get that information. It's a race
for information, especially with Twitter now it's not like the
old days where you're buying the newspaper of some town
out in the east. Bit so, so yeah, I mean
it's a very correlated to joy question. You know, it's both, right,
but yeah, yeah, there the sharps are definitely moving the
odds more than the public, and the sharps are usually betting,
are very often betting due to news, especially in pre seasons.
Speaker 10: Who's playing, who's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, while we got you any interesting line movements just
over the weekend, I know, we get the Lions and Falcons,
Browns and Panthers, Commanders and Patriots tomorrow, we got games
on Saturday, We got some things on Sunday. Anything that
you guys have made some pretty aggressive I.
Speaker 7: Mean, and I think they all have some kind of
line moves.
Speaker 10: Let me check real quick.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like Detroit open minus one and a half, they're
minus four.
Speaker 11: Now, what's the other one that's getting a lot of
sharp action Packers? What did they open minus one?
Speaker 7: There? Minus three now, so.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's all over the place.
Speaker 7: There's this Patriots that's the other one here was what
was that?
Speaker 10: Sorry? Uh yeah, Patriots minus two. That's minus six and
a half now, like I had by a.
Speaker 7: Lot of sharp So every every damn game has sharp
money on it. Like every side has sharp money on
it just about and every seems like every line moved
somewhat significantly. So yeah, NFL pos in here. We can't
wait for the regular season to start.
Speaker 2: This is great. You're squirming, Dave.
Speaker 10: I'm squirming. Well, had a long week, had a long week,
man at a long wee. I couldn't even really I
couldn't even really.
Speaker 7: Pay attention to NFL this week because there's some story
broke last week.
Speaker 10: I don't know if you guys are talking about or not.
I'm not going to bring it up unless you do.
Speaker 7: But that crazy story took ninety percent of my week
doing interviews and all that stuff.
Speaker 10: So I haven't even.
Speaker 7: Really paid attention to NFL preseason week one or anything.
Speaker 10: So yeah, I'm extras wormy this morning.
Speaker 2: I apologize any any any sharp action on Major League
Baseball today. I know we don't have too many games,
but yeah.
Speaker 10: Not three games.
Speaker 7: I got three four Marlins minus one ten or better,
Aids minus one thirty eight, Reds under seven minus one
oh five. That's what we got now. A little bit
will come on, probably a little bit more as the
afternoon progresses.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, good stuff, good stuff. So Dave,
what's your favorite pick for this weekend? Is it UFC? NFL?
What is Dave Mason like?
Speaker 7: Honestly, I'm on the sidelines this week, like I said,
I was swamped on some other stuff this week.
Speaker 10: I really didn't get to put my nose into anything.
Speaker 7: But I am going to tell you guy on Sincy
or Philly plus six and a half, go birds.
Speaker 10: That's my team. So let's go.
Speaker 2: Fly Eagles Fly Dave. Tell everyone about the survivor pool
in any NFL contest that you guys have it out,
because Dan and I.
Speaker 7: Yep, absolutely appreciate that. What billion dollars survivor pool. It's
only thirty dollars dollars to enter. You can enter numerous
times for discount. Right now, there's the early bird special
buy three, get one free again. That's one million dollars
guaranteed cash. I think there's gonna be an overlay, looking
like there's gonna be an overlay, so that that's always
important for the for the public and everybody is playing it.
Also Spread Survivor, we're starting out one hundred thousand dollars
for Spread Survivors, the first.
Speaker 10: Time we've ever done it.
Speaker 7: But there's gonna be no rake and I I'm pretty
I'm ninety percent sure we're gonna fly over that one
hundred thousand dollars. So every dollar we collect on top
of one hundred thousand dollars we added to the pool.
That's twenty dollars to enter. I believe's a little bit
cheaper since it's the first time we're doing it and
we don't really know what's gonna happen, but the early
numbers are good there.
Speaker 10: So oh, then we're gonna have a two hundred.
Speaker 7: Thousand dollars handicapping Happy contest too, that's free to enter.
Speaker 10: That's not live on the site yet, but that's coming soon.
Speaker 7: So yeah, man, we got NFL contests covered here at
that online dot AJ.
Speaker 2: All right, and final question, Dave. I went to college
for got my degree in production. I run my own
production company, and yet here I am sitting here live
and I'm getting ready to ask you about a dildo.
This is this, This is what it's come down to. Yeah,
exact mom, Mom, if you're watching, I'm sorry, but it's
part of the job, all right, talk to us about dildo.
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, NBA.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's you know, last week and like
you know, I saw break that that dildo number one
got thrown out on the floor, and I told my
props guys, Hey, I'm in a props chat with like
some marketing guys and props are always toss around ideas like.
Speaker 10: This is gonna become a thing. I know it just
because the WNBA. There's so much you know.
Speaker 7: Uh, controversy, and people hate it, people love it, and
people are always arguing.
Speaker 10: And I knew some knuckleheads were gonna throw some more billdos.
I just knew it. Now, what I didn't know was
one group.
Speaker 8: So I was like, we need odds on this next color,
next dildo.
Speaker 7: So we put up you know, we put up black, brown, white, Caucasian, pink, rainbow,
all sorts of stuff, and we had green at like
seven to one.
Speaker 10: Man because we didn't know, we didn't know this is
a group. So it's some kind of syndicate, some kind
of green dildo syndicate out there. So so we put
it up seven to one.
Speaker 7: These this green dildo syndicate, they signed up and they
bet that to Friday night. Dildo number two gets thrown
out there and we got bet up.
Speaker 10: But it was a huge story.
Speaker 7: My prost managers mad. He said, we're not offering dildos anymore.
We got feet.
Speaker 10: I'm my dude, we're offering dildos. We're offering more dildos
than other man. This Saturday morning, we created some.
Speaker 7: More markets and it just went virals all hell and
uh yeah, I mean, you know there's some people upset
that we're offering those odds and you know, you know
you shouldn't do that, and it's like, you know what,
we offered dildo. This is in the first time we
offered dildo odds. We offered bildo odds a few years
ago when Bill Maffy was trying to pelp Tom Brady.
Speaker 10: So don't tell me we're sexist. We're equal opportunity.
Speaker 7: Dildo odds providers here bet online dot ag. Those dildo's
getting thrown, we're gonna have odds for it.
Speaker 6: It might be my favorite quote of all time and
wager talk today history. If there's dildos to be thrown,
we will have odds on it. That's that's the that's
the best testament to why you should have bet online
dot ag isn't out and I've ever heard well.
Speaker 2: Done is the best in the business for a reason, folks.
Dave Mason bet online dot Ag Dave again, thank you
so much, brother, And I use bet online dot ag
I have for years. Uh this is just me as
a customer, not because we work with Dave, just because
you need to have a book like bet online dot ag.
So Dave tell everyone where we can find you.
Speaker 10: At at Dave Mason bol on Twitter.
Speaker 8: Uh you know, I I tweet out all the action reports,
who we need, who we don't need, and unfortunately over
the last week, way too much dildo stuff. But until
the story dies, I'm happy to keep doing this.
Speaker 7: And yet I have a college degree too, and I
have no idea what what what point in my life
I just took the wrong turn and and had the
resorted to do.
Speaker 10: On this dildo stuff. But whatever that still pays the bill,
all right.
Speaker 2: Adam asked real quick, does it mean we can only
bet the yes dildo and we can't fade it? You
just go to just go to go to bettle Lie
dot ag and.
Speaker 10: Figure out we have all sorts. We're gonna pick the
dildo up? Is it a ret? Is it a players?
Are they going to kick it off with their feet
or with their hands?
Speaker 2: Next?
Speaker 10: Color? But it's not green, then it's going to be green?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 7: No, And the dildo may an appearance at an MLB game.
This group I would sit in behind plate Marlin so
now we have next appearance MLB game or w MB
NBA game.
Speaker 10: So a nice little head to head match up there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, amazing, amazing, Dave Mason, one of the best
segments of the week. There, Hey, Dan, jump on here
real quick. So these dildos are being these days, These
these dildos are being thrown at Indiana Fever and Sophie Cunningham.
Their their home games are twenty minutes away from my house.
I'm just so, I'm just saying, anybody confer. I didn't
say anybody can take that for what it's worth. I'm
just saying what And also, I've got a good army.
Speaker 6: They had led off by saying, how ridiculous it is
that people say, you know, only degenerates bet the preseason. Andy,
we could, we could beat degenerates that are betting dildo props.
I mean that beats bet in the preseason.
Speaker 2: Hey, It's it's been long enough that I can say
it now. I think I actually bet this on bet
online dot AG. When the Super Bowl was here in
uh Indianapolis, there was a prop will there be a flyover?
And I was like, why would there be a flyover?
They're in a dome. And it's the middle of winter.
And so I actually got into one of the committee
meetings for something else I was doing business wise, and
I was able to ask is there going to be
a flyover? And the lady was like, no, why would
there be a flyover? So I nailed be a flyover? No,
just because they knew there wasn't going to be a flyover.
Speaker 1: Soiful.
Speaker 2: You make your own information, own luck information, and you
make your own luck. So uh, all right, great show everyone.
Thank you to Dave, Thank you to Kyle, Thank you
