Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the best betting show ever. I'm Lawrence Presman.
Let's make some money. How did the books do? We're
gonna find out where are the sharps betting today? Well
we know where, but what we're gonna find that out
to our predictive market segment, the parlay of the day,
Today's best bet So much to do on the show,
Joe and Airy Art this Caesar with US Canada already
losing two to one against Check as we tape this show,
I'm nervous about this game. I got a bad feeling
with that, said Art, Let's start with you. How did
the books do last night?
Speaker 2: It was a good night for us. You know, I
made a little bit of money.
Speaker 3: You know, as I talked about yesterday, it's tough when
you're not booking as many events as you'd like to be.
We're all about content and having content is good for books.
The more we can put out there usually the more
we can win. But obviously that will change here in
the next couple of days. NBA's back tomorrow, so that
should help our bottom line. But it was a solid
knight for the books.
Speaker 4: Yep, Joe, Why I mean you had it ended?
Speaker 5: With a one of the biggest upsets of the night
right Arizona State somehow.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know with Texas Tech, Jesus, but
they were a big fair.
Speaker 5: There were a couple of games where some outright upsets. Michigan, however,
was not Did you have a lot of liability on
Michigan last night as the favorite?
Speaker 2: Not really?
Speaker 3: You know, that was actually pretty good split action, to
be honest with you. That was one of those games
that saw action on both sides. You're either going to
lay the short number with Michigan take a shot with
Purdue on the money line, so not as bad. But
you're right, Joe, when you end the night in Arizona State.
I mean, there were a lot of things that were,
you know, tied to Texas Tech on parlays, so you know,
you get to knock all those out at the end
of the night, and Texas Tech obviously comes off the
huge win and then they go on the road and
lose to Arizona State. I mean, that's just college basketball, though. Yeah,
That's what happens in this sport, day in and day out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so trying, I think that happens in a lot
of sports where you know, I find it happens in
hockey a lot art, where a team will beat a
really really good team, say the Avalanche, and then lose
to the worst team in the league on the very
next night. Those are those letdown spots that we look
for that we try to take advantage of. Did not
see it last night, but it happened again, Art. What's
the position on these hockey games today? We got three
must win games? Do you have any liability on them?
Speaker 3: Not really as far as the games go, but I mean, listen,
obviously Canada getting knocked out, if that were to happen,
would be good for the future book. Obviously we lose
on Canada to win the Golden Men's, Now would it
be good overall? Because obviously I think if we could
get Canada and USA to play for a gold medal,
I think that's better for business because I think obviously
you attract more eyes on a game like that. You
could put up like a lot of props, you could do,
alter goal lines, altered the totals. You know, you could
put more content out. You know, if it's not Canada
and USA in the final, that probably hurts business because
even though you lose on Canada in a future book,
you can work with that. Once you get to a final,
you can kind of get your position of where you
need it. So I think overall we'd be rooting for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure it does.
Speaker 5: And listen, you've got you got another round of college
hoops here tonight. Obviously spring training games around the corner
here Aret, that's that's back and alive. And well, so
what are we what are we seeing action wise here today?
Who's coming in, who's making the bets, what are they pushing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Joe, we talked about the gest raight.
Speaker 3: It's great when you can go to your baseball screen,
on your odds screen and see games.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you love it. I love it.
Speaker 3: Pres probably not so much. But once you get to
college basketball tonight, there are a bunch of sharp things
that did come in. They took VMI plus fourteen and
a half. That's at Watford. They're now thirteen. They took
six with Richmond at Davidson that's now five.
Speaker 2: Jmu. You see this a lot with these teams.
Speaker 3: Overnight they're getting one point and then by you know,
by the time you snap your fingers Jmu. Lang one
and a half at Coastal Carolina. That happened on a
couple of games last night too, and I think both
those teams who got the early money and closed as
a favorite ended up winning and covering. They took plus
ten with Old Miss at A and M. That's now
eight and a half. They laid eight and a half
with Saint John's at Marquette, who's obviously not a great team,
and then the one total BYU Arizona took over one
sixty three. It's now one sixty five in that game.
They should be getting up and down. And obviously Arizona,
you know, they've lost a few here, so they're probably
gonna look to make a little bit of a statement tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah go ahead.
Speaker 5: Sorry no, And BYU lost its second best scorer to
the season with an acl tair, so I would imagine that.
I mean, they beat them pretty good at BYU. What
a couple of weeks ago, feels like ten days ago
or two weeks ago. And now they're gonna go to Arizona.
It's a little pissed after losing two games in a row.
This could be a very long night for BYU.
Speaker 4: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I don't know those And you know
those kids at b YU. They're world famous for their
very long nights.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh yes, yeah, that says their wives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, their wives, their wives who aren't getting any pleasure exactly.
Oh wait, are you allowed now with your wife? Are
you still aving bullshit? No?
Speaker 4: Swear to God, Press.
Speaker 6: If you're a part of the athlete and you're married,
if you go to b YU and you're married, correct,
you're still not allowed to have kuitus.
Speaker 5: None of that, Press, There'll be none of that. Absolutely not, yes.
Speaker 4: None of that.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you that that that cannot be true.
Speaker 4: I swear to God. You can't you get kicked out
of school with that if they find out, not if.
Speaker 1: You're married, Nope. What about the professors?
Speaker 4: Oh who cares?
Speaker 5: I mean, they're they're probably I mean no, not the athletes,
although I guess it's frowned upon just being a student altogether.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't think they're kicking you out though.
If they find out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I remember it happened a few years ago
BYU had the one of the at I think it
was their one shot it at a natty correct, and
they and they got rid of their best guy because
well he liked pleasure.
Speaker 4: That's a problem.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't like don't like pleasure, guys, I don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, don't go to BYU. That's the other thing saying.
Speaker 1: Okay, so sharp bets today, art, did you cover that already?
Too busy?
Speaker 2: I just ran down a bunch.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I thought. Yeah, I was too busy
focused on BYU.
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, let's.
Speaker 1: Get to the predictive market section of our show, Joe
and Arey. The microphone is yours, all.
Speaker 5: Right, So press interesting one that popped up earlier on
the feed Winter Olympics Men's Hockey MVP.
Speaker 4: You want to guess who the favorite is?
Speaker 5: Connor McDavid Ooh but at forty eight cents it for
the yes.
Speaker 4: It feels like we.
Speaker 5: Got a better chance of cashing on the know with
him than the actual yes, because you only have a
choice that they have in the markets here. Well, they
got a couple, but Austin, Matthews, Celebrini and Cross are
your other guys.
Speaker 1: Well, let's put it this way. Joe, Canada is down
two one to check, right. I promise you that none
of the three Canadians win MVP if they lose this game.
Speaker 4: So short them all basically.
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't necessarily short them all, but man, Austin
Matthews is a nice pathway, don't you think. Firstly, I
agree he's likely going to win if Canada loses this round. Secondly,
they could still beat Canada in the finals and he wins. Thirdly,
put up another five six goals, they lose and he
still wins.
Speaker 4: Good point. So he's the only guy you would back
one way or the other.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, yes right now, and he
is having a good a good playoff. But I'll tell
you something, man mattlan celebrating with another goal today. This
guy's got five goals. I don't I don't know, just
on a brand perspective, if he would win the MVP
over Connor and Connor does have ten points, and he's
the one that is setting up all these goals, right,
but that would be a hell of a story for
this nineteen year old kid.
Speaker 4: That would be huge. What do you think you think
it's all content? These guys don't know?
Speaker 5: I mean, Sidney Crosby is also a pretty interesting spot here.
What about the GOALIESZ? Don't we usually always get the goal?
Speaker 4: Now? I mean, I.
Speaker 5: Is Halliebuck not a good bet art at at seven cents?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you know, obviously,
if you're taking a shot, you know you wouldn't want
him over Matthews. But no, right, yeah, I don't I
don't know, you know, is this likely because you know
you see obviously the con Smite go to goalies often.
Speaker 2: You know, you even see a losing guy. I mean,
David just got it when they lost. I don't know
why is he?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is the Olympic way different with the way they vote
on it, like do you have to win the gold?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know, you know the history of that type of voting,
you would think though you would have to.
Speaker 2: I'm with present. I think Celebrini is real interesting. You
just think I mean six.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, and he'll be in the next Olympics,
so the next you know, so one hundred dollars get
you five to eighty one if he hits it, and
why not?
Speaker 4: PRIs the way he's scoring is I mean not a
bad look.
Speaker 1: But I will look no, I will tell you this
about scoring and Macklin Celebrini, right, Uh, the Olympic village
have gone through ten thousand condoms, ten thousand condoms. They
don't know what to do. They're bringing them in on boats.
I gotta believe he's leading the way, Joe. I mean, handsomest,
shit killer hair, nineteen years old and without question going
to be richer than every athlete at the Games. So
I say he is leading the way. But man, I
want to be young. Man, I want to be an
Olympic athlete, and man I want to be at that village.
Oh my god, how much fun are they having.
Speaker 4: Save the saran wrap. You never know when you might
need it. There? Press bitcoin today, pres two and one.
Speaker 5: I believe on the middling job for yesterday's five pm
Bitcoin call.
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, well we didn't middle. We just went for
the outright triple win, and I did go two out
of three. Right now it is sixty seven three twelve.
We have again the exact same scenario that went down yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: It was at sixty eight then we had a quick plummet.
We have seen it down to sixty six seven already
this morning.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: So where we going, Joe.
Speaker 4: Well, that's all thing here.
Speaker 5: Press So we have options here sixty six five or
above sixty seven five or above or sixty eight or above?
Speaker 4: So does this.
Speaker 5: Go lower than where we're at? Because currently, Prez, where
what sixty seven two forty five? So is it current
above sixty seven, above sixty seven five or above sixty eight?
Speaker 1: How much does above sixty seven pay?
Speaker 4: Sixty four cents? Sixty four cents?
Speaker 1: Okay, so I believe it will be above sixty seven.
I'm not going to be greedy today.
Speaker 5: Above sixty seven, all right, So one hundred dolls get
you fifty two by uh, we'll get you fifty two
dollars by five o'clock today. You don't think sixties, how
about lower?
Speaker 4: Prez. You can go the other way too.
Speaker 1: No, I feel like we've had our drop. I'm just
gonna stick to the charts, stick to the exact formula
that's got us to where we are in the last
two weeks.
Speaker 5: Absolutely all right, over sixty seven right now you can
get or sixty Yes, sixty five cents. Hundred bucks will
get you a buck fifty and change back. So there
you go, pres, nice job.
Speaker 1: Okay, boom, okay, that's it. Predicative market's done done, okay,
Jo sith you start with our parlay of the day.
Speaker 5: Ooh, well, pres, I am going to go to out
West actually for the late game here, because I don't
understand USC here.
Speaker 4: They are not a great offensive team at home, but
they are at home.
Speaker 5: But they're welcoming in Illinois, who's an absolute scoring machine.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 5: They're getting nine points, and I don't know, this feels
like the kind of spot where a muscleman will get
his guys to show up and make this a game.
So I'm gonna go with the dog here tonight, USC
at home catching what nine I think right now somewhere
in that ballpark Art that we got, So I'll take
USC getting the points is the big home dog even
against Illinois tonight.
Speaker 1: Okay, Art, what do you got for us?
Speaker 3: I'm taking a short home favorite in the Atlantic ten.
Give me George Mason.
Speaker 2: At home? Why what happened?
Speaker 4: I was giving you.
Speaker 1: I was giving out George Mason on the money line.
Speaker 4: That was going to be you guys to get together.
Speaker 2: I was literally overnight hockey game. Come on, I was.
Speaker 4: I was, what's the total team USA? Come on? Give
us that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, But just for the record, everybody, I was going
to give out George Mason on the money line. I
swear to god. You heard me say, oh my god
in the middle of that segment. Yes, you like the
So I was going to stay away from the Sweden
USA game because the game go soon. So that's no
fair to anybody. We'll go with Sweden minus one and
a half against Switzerland tomorrow and the women's semi.
Speaker 4: Is the three o'clock game or no, isn't it the
three o'clock.
Speaker 1: But most of our listeners watched the show on the drive.
Sweden minus won seventy five money line bet, that's the
bet women's lackey tomorrow women's Yeah, the bronze game, Sweden
minus won seventy five against Switzerland. There all right, I
don't think that's ever happened ever art where it was
like you literally just took my game right anyway to
go anyway? What do you got to promote, Arthur?
Speaker 2: Listen, Yes, we both like it now Listen.
Speaker 3: Obviously tomorrow you know we'll get some NBA backs and
we'll have some NBA action to talk about some more
Olympic stuff, you know, keep rolling with the college basketball
and you know, on Friday, as I mentioned, and I'll
tease it a little bit, try to have as much
UFC action and information as I can on the Friday Show.
Speaker 5: Oh that's why I wanted to ask you, what do
you think the action on the Ronda Rousey fight is
going to be for you?
Speaker 4: What do you think.
Speaker 2: She is back?
Speaker 4: And people won't pay to see that train wreck?
Speaker 2: And it's not obviously it's not this weekend.
Speaker 4: No, no, no.
Speaker 5: No, It's gonna be one of those Netflix you know, like, yeah,
same thing with Jake Paul Crash, same thing there where.
Speaker 4: That's what they're gonna be.
Speaker 5: But these two should have fought ten years ago when
they were actually relevant in the in the UFC.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I think it will get a little bit of interest.
I don't think it will be a lot, but there
will be some interest.
Speaker 5: Everybody loves a good train wreck, right, I mean, come on, yeah.
Speaker 1: Who is she fighting? I don't know anything about this fight.
Who's she fighting?
Speaker 4: G that's Corkarana Dan. Give me that ten years ago.
I don't need that now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, yeah, I understand, But I will say this,
two excellent looking women, so uh well I'm getting older too, sho.
Speaker 5: So no, press, no, no, you don't know. Look at
that Dancing with the Stars is calling man, look at that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Maybe, yes, Okay, get out of here.
Speaker 4: I can't. I love it.
Speaker 1: Arthur to Caesar everyone. He'll be on the show again tomorrow.
Steve Merrill will be hosting tomorrow. I'm missing tomorrow's show, Joe.
We got our best bet section coming up, college basketball
run down and our mailbag section or any of that.
Let's get to some business, Joe. It's time for some business.
I had a four percent play up in college basketball
yesterday Nebraska.
Speaker 4: It lost.
Speaker 1: Feel terrible. I hate losing for my clients, bothers the
crap out of me. But we're back at it today.
I got one college basketball play going. I'm hoping to
start a run. My college basketball season's still been good,
but I am in a little bit of a slup
right now, so I'm hoping to turn it around tonight.
I got one college basketball play. I can't wait for
NBA and NHL to get back. I just can't wait.
What do you got going, bro?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And I'm well to be here tomorrow, pres or
though hockey what another week? When does that come back?
Speaker 1: Five more days, bro, five.
Speaker 4: More than all right? So we get the association back tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I am yeah, I'm locked in, invested in one of
the college basketball games here tonight. A bit of a
barking dog as well. So that is up and available
over at wager talk dot com. So looking forward to
getting the NBA back actually as well.
Speaker 1: Prez, there you go, Joe, let's get our best bet
section of the show. I'm gonna give you look. I
love George Mason today. I like them on the money line.
They are minus one and a half. This is a
baffling line to me. This George Mason team is twenty
one and five. They've lost one game at home all year,
one game. They're fifteen and one on their home court,
and they're playing a Dayton team that is, you know,
three and five on the road. I also like that
George Mason is coming off of two losses, including a
disaster performance against GW. Dayton's coming in off of a win.
I just don't understand why this line is so short
minus one thirty five. We're gonna take George Mason. And
as with the hockey for tomorrow, Joe, both the women's
medals games. I told you, I like Sweden on the
money line minus one seventy five and I like Canada
plus two and a half minus won thirty five. I
got a lot of abuse for people yesterday. They who
were like, oh, pres, you know two different teams here.
The American women's team is so much better than the
Canada team. They shouldn't even be sharing the same ice.
One is skating at a ten out of ten, the
other at a two out of ten. And I'm like, guys, relax,
These teams have played each other like a hundred times. No,
but very rarely do any of these teams win two
in a row. This is the same Canada US team
that played last year or six months ago. Jesus man,
there was one bad game by Canada and everyone's losing
their crap. Do I think America wins the game? Yes?
I do do. I think it's gonna be a one
goal game, maybe two at the most. Take Canada plus
two and a half Joe when he got to the
college basketball rundown.
Speaker 4: I like that, all right, Prez.
Speaker 5: Well, we'll start with a couple of games here tonight,
including Murray State at Illinois State the Missouri. While that
pretty much ended on Sunday, the chases over there Belmont
with that unbelievable comfort behind win ended up getting it
done against Murray State, pretty much wrapping up that conference
rather and that top spot there. But Illinois State and
Murray State have not been great, just to combine nine
and eleven in their last twenty games, so they're basically
playing for second and third place right now. But there's
no way I think Illinois State should be laying a
number in this one. Yes, they're at home, but something
tells me I still believe in Murray State and their
ability to be able to come back from that dreaded
second half where they just absolutely gave the game away
up more than what twenty points in that game at
one time and could not get it done. The other
one is in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where Oklahoma State now is
going to try to get it done against Kansas. Now.
As usual with Kansas games, it's whether or not Darren
Peterson is playing, and if he is playing, what is
his interest level in the game. He's likely gonna play
a half in this one. I do think we've seen
some Kansas money come in early on this game here,
but it's my last shot Oklahoma State. This will be
the last time. They are much better Obviously at home
than they have been on the road. I don't think
they win, because Kansas always wins, even at Galaga Iba.
But I do think Oklahoma State can make a bit
of a run for it in this game. And of
course you have the other big game that's coming up
here at tonight late night. How about Saint Mary's at
Seattle nine o'clock Eastern time? Here, man, Saint Mary's can
pour it in Seattle. Not very good. Decent defensively, especially
in home Seattle, but not good offensively. Something tells me
that's got under written all over it here tonight, press.
Speaker 1: Joe, the mailback section. We're getting a lot of love.
I appreciate everybody, John Nebo. This has become my favorite
all round betting show. Thank you. My brother George Barnes.
We love him. He likes to take the piss out
of you, which is great. I totally uh, I expect that.
And I did screw up yesterday Joe. I mentioned we
had won two of the three legs in the parlay,
and that wasn't true. We had lost that Houston bet
on the money line. My mistake. I misspoke.
Speaker 4: We did two of the three yester night, though we
did Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well two out of the three eight Any good either,
David Takarski, great show, Thanks so much, guys, really appreciate
you commenting, all of you. So much love to all
the people who watched the show. Joe, you and Steve
have got tomorrow. I'll be back Friday. Lots of love everybody.
Let's call it today.
Speaker 4: Boom
