Speaker 1: You are.
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 Wednesday, and we are diving into
MLB and CFO. We're gonna break down some angles match
up in sharp edges that you need to have a
profitable day. Let's get to work. We got Gianni is
gonna come on and talk to Steam Report. We'll see
if we got a busy day or not.
Speaker 3: Ross the Boss.
Speaker 2: Benjamin's gonna talk ools and guardians, and Andrew McGinnis is
going to join us, and we'll talk a little c
f L hidden gem in the betting markets CFL. Let's
get started. You guys know what to do. Hit that
like button really helps the algorithm out. Let's bring on
Gianni and let's talk Steam Report. Gianni, Happy Wednesday. Are
we busy or not busy?
Speaker 3: In the Steam Report today.
Speaker 4: I'm busy, busy, busy all Major League Baseball, very busy
because it starts early today, from really early in the morning.
I have a ton of stuff for you guys. Good morning,
my man Block, best of luck today, brother, that's luck
this weekend. So we want to go over somebody MLBU
there's a lot to get to, so I'll dive right in.
Speaker 5: Let's go over some of the sides and total so far.
Speaker 4: Some of the early stuff nine oh three San Diego,
the minus one forty and the under at eight up,
the one twenty five, nine ten, Cleveland minus one twenty five,
nine twenty six, Seattle minus one thirty nine oh one,
Washington plus the one twenty and the under nine up,
the minus one thirty nine oh five San Francisco plus
one forty five and one forty really strong total Detroit,
Philadelphia going over eight and a half, up, the minus
one thirty and over nine even at even money.
Speaker 5: That's opposite the public.
Speaker 4: They're really bent in that one under it stuck out
a little bit, and nine oh nine under eight and
a half Baltimore, Cleveland, and finally Colorado nine o eight
Colorado plus one sixty five, which is opposite Saint Louis,
which is one of those series bets I mentioned yesterday.
There were four series bets placed on Monday. That was
the Mets, the Cubs, Saint Louis, and the Yankees. The
Mets series already won. The Mets won the first two games.
That one's over that cash the next three Cubs, Saint Louis,
the Yankees. All three series are one and one with
the outcome pending on today's game. So we need the Cubs,
we need Saint Louis, and we need the Yankees to
cash those series bets. But like I said, Colorado got
some steam today, which is opposite that Saint Louis bet.
Speaker 5: But you could actually scalp it. So it's interesting.
Speaker 4: I'm going to see talk to somebody I know that
they wanted to do is really well, see if that's
just a buy back more like a scalp on that
series bet, and why.
Speaker 5: They're betting Colorado?
Speaker 4: That was because like minus one thirty five now they
could get plus one forty five. That's a free free
money right there by betting the dog, And why wouldn't
you do that?
Speaker 2: So walk us through this because this is kind of
a passion of mine. I think people screw up futures
all the time. I think you make futures to give
yourself a good chance to guarantee yourself money later on
down the line.
Speaker 3: And it breaks my heart when people.
Speaker 2: Are like, Nope, I'm riding that thirty to one when
you could have hedged out.
Speaker 3: And state tenits.
Speaker 2: So walk us through slowly these these series bets and
what are the hedging potentials and how can we guarantee
our selves profit?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a simple case is is this series
right now? We bet Saint Louis before the series began
a minus one thirty five. They split the first two games,
so going into this third game, this will determine the
outcome on that series bet. So right here, I got
a bet on Saint Louis minus one thirty five.
Speaker 5: For four units. Okay, okay, I could.
Speaker 4: Come over here now and bet Colorado plus one forty
five for four units. If Saint Louis wins, I break even.
I hit my series bet. I lose my dog my
dog bet on Colorado, no harm, no foul if Saint
Louis wins, though, I mean, if Colorado wins, I lose
my series bet at minus one thirty five for four units.
But I win my straight bet today for four units
at plus one forty five, So I'm actually making money.
I'm turning a profit at zero risk. So I'm either
breaking even or turning a profit. That's the best position
you could find yourself in as a trader. Nobody ever
went broke taking profits. I know a ton of people
that have gone broke in sports betting, in trading because
they didn't take profits, because they let it ride. You've
been to a craps table. I know you guys have
been to a craps table. How many times are guys pressing, pressing, pressing.
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden they got like three grand
out there?
Speaker 4: They were starting with like five hundred bucks and then
they got three thousand out there.
Speaker 5: On all these numbers and alls, it takes is one seven.
That's it.
Speaker 4: One seven role. Then it's going to wipe out everything.
And I see it time and time and time again.
Nobody has ever gone broke taking a profit. You know,
everybody says, right, things don't hedge hedges for gardeners.
Speaker 5: You know that's all that nonsense. Dude. Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 4: Every hour, every minute, things change, situations change, information changes.
You have to be quick in this industry, and if
you're a trader, you have to be quick. And you
can't let your ego dictate your decisions. You have to
use reason to dictate your decision. And as information trickles
in and changes, you gotta be willing to flip your
opinion like, you can't stay steadfast. That's how you get
yourself in trouble because with these kinds of decisions they
have to be instantaneous. That's why you train yourself through
years and years and years and years of doing this
where it all becomes automatic. Like to me, when I
saw that, it became automatic, Like the first thing my
instinck is Okay, they're hedging. That's a free bet. Why
wouldn't they take it? I'm not again, because as information
comes in, things change. What you were thinking Monday and
what you were thinking on Wednesday could be two different things.
I mean, they could have tired arms in the bullpen.
I haven't broken down that matchup individually yet, but again,
the matchup changes day by day. So if less you
are really sure that you're still getting the best of
it and your opinion hasn't changed at all, then to me, hedging, middling, scalping,
those things are automatic. Those our assets that you have
to take advantage like those are tools forgive me wrong word,
tools that in your arsenal as a better that you
need to use to your advantage. Anytime you could lock
up a profit, you do it. Nobody ever went to
grow doing that again. If you're sure you have the
best of it sometimes and you're still strong in that opinion,
don't do it.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Again, you're getting three to one on a coin flip
and even money proposition, and you like your position, still
let it ride. You know you're getting the best of it,
win or lose, you play, you have a great bet.
But if you're not there, if you don't think I'm
still that sure and locking your profit and move on
to the next trade, that's it. You don't don't don't
marry it, don't hate it, just trade it.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: I've never understood why hedging is is looked at as
a sign of weakness, because.
Speaker 1: It is that. That's that's what.
Speaker 5: You're afraid to let your bet ride. No, I like money.
Speaker 4: I live in the real world where money has more
value than the idea of money.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, put it in my hand.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know it's you know it's weak losing your bet, yeah,
not turning a profit on your ear.
Speaker 4: There's a reason the brokest people amongst us have the
best ideas, They have all the all the answers. They
just didn't get lucky. They just haven't gotten lucky. It
never fails in my family. My friends, the most broke
amongst us, have the best ideas. They're the ones we
should be listening to. They're the one they just haven't
gotten lucky yet. The rest of us that are working
our asses off to have any kind of success, we're
all fools, we're the dummies.
Speaker 5: But they're the ones.
Speaker 4: They just haven't had their time yet, haven't gotten lucky yet.
For some reason. They're they're broke, but they just haven't.
It just hasn't gotten it her turn yet. That's it.
Speaker 2: The guy says he would have been a professional athlete
if his high school coach hadn't held him back.
Speaker 5: You know, that was the next Michael Jordan. I was
the next Michael. All I needed was that coach.
Speaker 4: If that coach, if he didn't like, if he didn't
hate me because I'm Greek, then that would have been it.
He had a bad Euro one day, he got sick
on Greek food, and just because I was that Greek kid,
he didn't give me more minutes. I was the best
kid on that football team, but he didn't let me
play quarterback.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Come on, Yeah, everyone made
a mistake. All the way through, I.
Speaker 2: Was the best player on the JV benchman. I would
have made it, baby, I would have made.
Speaker 5: All I needed was an opportunity. Give me minutes, coach.
Speaker 2: Yep uh, let's let's get back into baseball real quick.
Before any of these moves really surprising to you, you
mentioned that you're can it maybe some of this money
coming in as possible some hedge.
Speaker 3: Was there a move that kind of took you off guard?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you right now. The most heavily bet.
Where was it?
Speaker 4: Where was it? San Diego, San Diego, San Diego, San
Diego over Miami.
Speaker 5: Here's why. For some reason, it's oh that just started.
Forget it. That's if you got live.
Speaker 4: There's more San Diego money for whatever reason against Miami
that i'd seen.
Speaker 5: In days like all one sided, and now it makes sense.
Speaker 4: See it's the early game, so they're trying to get
out ahead and make some money today. That got so
much straight bets, so much parlay money all over San Diego,
and I get it. I'm not excited to run out
and bet Miami either, But yeah, again, san Diego below five.
Speaker 5: Hundred on the road.
Speaker 4: I just don't see the advantages to lay this kind
of price, So that one really stuck out to me.
Speaker 5: And let me see for a later game for you guys,
real quickly Cleveland, but that got steamed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not really out of the ordinary. Not out of
the ordinary again, you know me. I keep it real
mountain sticking out its normal day. The favorites are getting
a little more of the money. The over is getting
a little more of the money. And that's about it.
Kansas City and the Cubs, that one's the most one
sided over. They're betting that over blindly. But if you
look at the line, I don't think it's getting any respect.
But that's one of them that sticks out later.
Speaker 4: That is like ninety nine percent on the over bets
slips money.
Speaker 5: They're all over, over, over over all.
Speaker 3: Right, all right, well, what do you have up for
clients on this Wednesday?
Speaker 5: All right? The MMA package is up and available.
Speaker 4: Three bets are in there, including a five percent big
move coming off a loser last week on those tell.
Speaker 5: You when I win, tell you when I lose. We
coming off a.
Speaker 4: Loss in a five percent, but this one I fired
right away on Sunday, the day after three you have
CE three eighteen, So far, so good. The line is
moving in our favor like it's supposed to do. We
got out ahead of the market. So far, so good.
That package is avaiuable. The futures is a go as well.
It's combined NFL and college football. The nine or ten
bets in there right now, including a five percent with
the line still available, and gonna have a baseball package
up win in the next thirty to forty five minutes
at the latest. And yeah, just trying to do some
damage between now and the football season.
Speaker 3: Love it, Love it, Johnny the Greek.
Speaker 2: Interesting talk about the hedging and stuff, and there's gonna
be a lot of opportunities in football season, so we'll
keep talking about that. Johnny the Greek. Everyone, thank you
so much for joining us on this Wednesday. Myself, I've
got two plays up right now, and actually we got
a four percent MLB team total that goes off this afternoon.
Did really well yesterday on that Nationals over three and
a half pretty much never in doubt. I believe they
were at six runs in the sixth inning. So don't
wait on that one. This play goes off this afternoon.
It goes off in a few hours. Four percent MLB
team total and very first five percent golf play of
the year. So talk about rare. We do not fire
off five percent golf plays very often. Never had a
losing golf season, coming off a really nice two in
a week at the Open Championship. So excited about this
golf play and involves live and involves PGA. So you
get that play, you're gonna get all golf plays for
the entire Week's been one of our strongest sports. Sixty
three percent. We've hit on totals in the last three
hundred and sixty five days. So we're running hot totals,
running hot in golf. If you want that action, Premium
spot today and tomorrow, gro grab them, WT Dot Buzz
slash al. All right, let's go all around the world.
We got a couple of free plays here. Not a
lot of action here. Barry, you're Barry batter, You're actually
you're correct here. So let's take a look at this
free plays and yeah, well, Yankees and Blue Jays. Blue
Jay is over three and a half on the team total.
You said it, Freed not been great recently, giving up
three or more runs in three straight starts. That's fourteen
innings and eleven runs, so not great here. Bullpen is okay,
but this three and a half team total seems really low.
Blue Jays have gone over in all five games since
the All Star break. And then we'll take a look
at the Tigers and the Pirates.
Speaker 3: Nerfey.
Speaker 2: This is Ralph Michael's Special Tigers on a seven and
oh nurfy run last seven road games and they've only
scored a first inning run once in the last sixteen
road games. And the Pirates have failed to score a
run in sixteen straight games in the first inning.
Speaker 3: Yikes.
Speaker 2: So Tiger's and Pirates Nurfey and the Blue Jays over
the team total.
Speaker 3: So yeah, great catch there, Barry. That blister might be
affecting for it a little bit. So all right, let's
bring on ross the balls, Benjamin. We're gonna talk to
some Oriioles and guardians. Ross. Happy Wednesday. How are you today?
Speaker 1: Hey, fella?
Speaker 5: Is any better?
Speaker 7: I would think I was in heaven, and but you
know what, I still got a Paul Sandy, so I
had to stay grounded. You know, if I could piggyback
a little bit off that hedgiing conversation you and Gianni
just had. You asked me a couple of weeks ago
about a sleeper in college football, and I gave the
Arizona State to win the national title at odds of
plus ten thousand, and it seems like an absurd bet,
but my strategy was quite simple. I'm banking on them
just to get to the Big Twelve championship game, and
if they do so, I'm gonna hedge against them in
that game, and if they go all the way to
the National Championship game the ensuing four games after that,
still assuring myself of a profit. So you know, I
just thought that was a pertinent conversation as it applied
to my pick on Arizona State, which seems like it's
out of left field that plus ten ten thousand. But
there's a method behind my madness.
Speaker 3: No, I agree.
Speaker 2: I have said all along that I think are I
think people mess them up all the time, and I
think that people leave so much money on the table.
I want to be holding a ticket come playoffs or
come late in the season where I can hedge it.
It's one of the reason why I love the in
season win totals like in NFL and NBA. You can
do a lot of damage there, and you can just
those little units you add the one unit here or there. Man,
it really adds up. So yeah, absolutely, let's keep tabs
on that Arizona State. That'll be fun if they can.
Speaker 7: Get remember seventeen returning starters on a team that went
to the college football playoffs last year one to Big twelve. Yes,
they're missing Scatterborough, but experienced starting quarterback which is always key,
right Andy, And you know almost pulled an upset in
the playoffs last year, so we'll see. You know, it's
a calculated risk.
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk another calculated resk. Let's talk about the
Orioles and the Guardians. Here Baltimore one and fource. It's
the All Star break Cleveland four and one. So interesting
Cleveland run here you got Efflyn four Baltimore.
Speaker 3: Who do you like in this matchup today?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean you spoke of Eflyn. His last seven
starts a six sixty eight era, a one sixty nine
whip that qualifies his poor form. He's coming off a
horrible outing in his last time out. He's not doesn't
figure to get much help from a Baltimore bullpen. Over
the last five games since returning from the break, nine
eighty two era is a staff a two forty six
whip and this is really eye popping the Baltimore bullpen.
In those previous five games, they've struck out thirteen hitters,
but they've walked sixteen, which is unheard of or rare,
I should say, so that puts up a big red
flag for me. The Orioles also have lost six to seven.
They've allowed six runs or more in five of those
seven games. This current Cleveland Guardians roster is eight for
twenty six Efflin in their career, a three to zero
eighteen batting average, three fifty seven on base percentage. Not
a huge sample size, but also worth noting. U in
Baltimore one in ten on the road this year when
facing Al Central teams like Cleveland. Uh, the Indians are
of the Indians. I knew I was going to do
that one time this year, and Andy I picked you to.
Speaker 3: Do it with.
Speaker 1: All right, so.
Speaker 7: You should feel special. The Guardians ten and two over
their last twelve Thank.
Speaker 3: You, Ross. I am honored to be a part of
calling him runner.
Speaker 7: It's made special over my failure.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 7: Uh, the Cleveland Guardians are ten and two in their
last twelve games. They scored six runs or more than
five of their last six Slay Chaconi on the mountain today.
Look over the last three starts a one oh eight whip,
which is very good for him. And more importantly, he's
averaged seven point one innings pitch per start over his
last three and when you consider the fact that Cleveland's
bullpen has been a bit shaky since the break and
also a bit shaky for the better part of the season,
that's protecting your bullpen when you can give your team
that many innings. The big thing which is Chaconi is
he has to stay away from giving up the long ball,
which has been as enigma in recent starts. Cleveland, by
the way, twenty three and ten this year versus teams
like Baltimore who have been outscored by zero point five
or more runs per game, and that includes ten and
three at home. The Guardians are also fourteen and five
at home this year versus teams with a losing record
like Baltimore. Nice price here, I think, very attractive price,
and I'm going to take advantage of it by taking
the Cleveland Guardians. Minus one. Twenty five is a money
line favorite at home over the Baltimore Orioles.
Speaker 3: Nice play.
Speaker 2: I've asked a couple of people this, Any teams you
got your eye on for the second half of the season,
could be a team you're looking to fade, could be
a team you're looking to support.
Speaker 3: Any teams that you have your eye on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Atlanta if they have a if they
don't fall apart up until the trade deadline, I think
there's a good possibility that that's a team that you
want to keep an eye on because they've vastly underachieved.
They haven't won on the road, and you know that's
gonna change. There's no way they're going to continue with
that type of road record as long as they don't
dismantle their roster or they have a bad run up
until the trade deadline, which would force them to dismantle
the roster. For the most part, I'm going to keep
an eye on the Atlanta Braves, and you can get
some pretty good value on them, especially on the road
as an underdog, because with the road record right now,
they're gonna be undervalued on the road down a stretch. Again,
it all depends on them not tearing things down at
the trade deadline, and it all depends on how they
do up until the trade deadline. From this point on,
I love it.
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 2: Congratulations on your you continue to win, especially least free plays.
Johnny already beating to the punch and posted some of
your streaks in here. So tell us a couple of
streaks and tell us what you have up at wage

would also recommend New York, New York at three am.
Last time I stayed there. Wow, that was a lot
of fun at three am by the Craps table. All right,
let's bring on Andrew McInnis and let's talk a little
CFL guys.
Speaker 3: Hit the like button.
Speaker 2: Make sure you subscribe to the channel two hundred and
ten thousand subscribers on the Wager Talk Today channel Amazing
Andrew in It two hundred and ten thousand. I think
you and I were around when we were celebrating like
twenty thousand, two hundred thousand people ago. So yeah, what's
your take on CFL so far this season?
Speaker 1: Andy?
Speaker 8: Could you give me like ten seconds. I just had
a nosebleed and I have a bunch of blood all
over my nose. Can you just kill ten seconds for me?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely. There's a comment in the comment section about.
Speaker 1: The first three that's.
Speaker 9: A definite first But of course, of course, let's be
real Andy, of course, the hockey guy is the one
who's like, hey man, I got a bloody nose because
he was probably beating somebody's ass. He was getting ready
to go to get on here. He had he had
to beat up Benjamin to get a spot on the show.
Speaker 2: Well, so, so Dan and I had a bet going today.
So I moved offices and Dan said that the over
under would be half a person to notice that I
changed offices, and I was like, that's.
Speaker 1: An easy, sharp line, sharp line.
Speaker 3: The sharps came in on the over and we were
dead wrong.
Speaker 2: Nobody, nobody in the chat has mentioned that I moved offices.
Speaker 9: So I know we're missing like you had amazing like
photos that are always in the background.
Speaker 1: I thought somebody would notice it. I thought.
Speaker 9: I thought the half line was a bum line, and
then uh, Andy, I.
Speaker 1: Would have cashed. I would have cashed.
Speaker 3: I know it was an easy one.
Speaker 2: Now I will say the tough beat on under half
a nosebleed on the show The Tough Tough Beat.
Speaker 3: I had a five percent best bet on minus eighty
one thousand on.
Speaker 1: It's it's been on an insane streak.
Speaker 9: Andy, I think it's been on like a three hundred
and sixty eight and oh streak.
Speaker 1: And of course our man mckinnis, I had to break
this all right.
Speaker 8: The thing that makes me feel better is that it
would look like a bullshit excuse if I like said, hey, guys,
I'm gonna be late, so it's better to come on.
Speaker 1: Give you the yes.
Speaker 8: And also you guys from prop it up and know
that it's happened. Before I thought I cleaned it up.
I was like, holy shit, dude, like clean yourself up
a little bit. But good to be on here with you.
Speaker 1: Andy.
Speaker 8: Always love when the chat is just bumping the way
it is right now. Good to see that. But you
asked my take on the CFL. I just want to
add this, and Andy, I know you can appreciate this
because somehow I'm going to try and correlate this to props.
You know how, Andy, you would say, sometimes like when
a number like moves in a prop like over two
and a half shots so many times and they move
a guy to three and a half, then you kind
of want to stay off. Well, that's kind of what
you're seeing right now. In the CFL. There's a lot
of numbers where it's like, Okay, I was comfortable laying
this number with a certain team right now, and then
it's overreaction, like people call overreaction week week two. We're
now like a little over a third of the way
through the season in the CFL. This is where it's like, Okay,
the league, you know, the oddsmakers think this team is
this much better than they really are, or this team
is this much worse than they actually are. And what
I love is that this is you know, college football season,
NFL training camps beginning. Unfortunately, I'd love to be able
to tell you that my best CFL weeks are when
there's nothing else going on, because that probably helped sales
wise and tention wise. But this is the best time
to bet CFL in my opinion, Like, you have eight
seven weeks of data, you have a lot of information,
and also nobody, if anybody didn't care before, they certainly
don't care now that NFL training camps and college football
and everything's going on. So to me, this next six
week stretch is probably the best time to bet the CFL.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Andrew, the chat is just having a
great time saying you're too nice to fight. There's no
way you could have got a nosebleed from a bar
fight at this time in the morning. Uh B is
hockey back bumping, investing joints words.
Speaker 3: I love the chat. We got the best chat around.
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Uh Andrew had to fight an old lady for a
loaf of bread. Yes, all right, let's get serious here.
Let's break down a game. Here, let's do Montreal in Calgary.
What's your take on this game?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 8: Andy, So I mentioned that, you know, sometimes the numbers
start to move a little bit more than they probably
should have, and the second that a number looks a
little bit different, that's when you want to go against it.
And so today we're gonna go against the Calgary stamp Peters.
And this is a team that is five and o
ats as an underdog. And oh yeah, all of those
games where they covered the points spread as an underdog,
they won outright. And I'm here to say say that
they've beat a lot of teams by more than six points.
They have as that underdog role, but this is the
spot I believe it's important to step in front of it.
And I'll be fully transparent. Last week I faded them
against Winnipeg when it was just a couple points as favorites.
But Calgary went the whole entire season andy as three
and a half, four and a half, five and a
half point dogs. And now all this sudden. Calgary is
power rated number one in most people's ratings, and now
they're laying six and a half. This is where things change.
And don't get me wrong, guys, I know they have
defeated teams by seven plus points, but this is where
things change. I think this is where the overreaction comes.
We're in week eight. Everyone falls in love with Calgary
and oh yeah, if you haven't made money on Calgary yet,
it's probably too late, you know. And I think that
this Montreal team here getting six and a half points.
They've only lost by more than seven points six points
once this season so far. This team has a ton
of talent. Their run game is great, their defense is
one of the best in the league. In fact, they
lead the league in defensive scores. Which could help them
potentially in a game where they're getting six and a
half points. But more importantly, it's a backup quarterback situation
once again. And I've spoken a lot about how the
backups are a major drop off in the CFL compared
to the number one guy, and I'm not just a
small drop off, a big drop off. But this does
not merit a six and a half point underdog number
here for a team that I think is still a
top three team in the CFL. So if you haven't
made money on Calgary yet this year, then it's probably
too late to jump in it. I've been watching wager
Talk today every day. I've seen Nick Parsons doing some
great work coming on with you talking CFL. I believe
he's given out Calgary at least two or three times
to you as an underdog. He's cashed all of them.
But all of those they were getting a ton of points.
Speaker 1: Andy.
Speaker 8: Now they're being a to lay points. I just feel
like things are a little bit different now. This is
where the market's caught up on them. We're gonna take
Montreal here plus six and a half, but don't forget
to sprinkle that money line could be a great bet
here this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a great read.
Speaker 2: The books are making a very very massive swing here,
and uh yeah, they're probably sick of losing money on
this team as underdog, so they're going, no, what, you
got to pay a pretty pretty penny for that.
Speaker 3: So it's an excellent read.
Speaker 2: I agree, And yeah, what is the what is the
move with the power ra Is it just because of
the record or is something changed? Like what what's the
big change in the power rankings? Because I feel I
feel most of the time power rankings, it takes a
lot to move up and down.
Speaker 3: What's what's going on with the change here?
Speaker 1: Oh? Andy?
Speaker 8: I I could go on and on about this. The
people I talked CFL betting with we have some laughs
about the CFL Twitter account itself releasing their power rankings
and ratings and everybody else out there not understanding how
it works. We call it the power stand because they
pretty much just base it off the standings in the
league and not as much like the actual preseason ratings
that they had.
Speaker 2: But I got, what's the records of the team that's
just put him there, and then that's.
Speaker 3: Pretty much okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I gotta say I was you know again,
we you know, I know transparency is important to you
as it is to me, and and nobody likes losing
five percent plays, but I got a hell of a
run with five percent CFL plays. I was pissed last
weekend to lose the one with Winnipeg coming off their bye.
But to what you said there when I finished up
about how much of a drastic move this is where
they were getting points every single week, Now they're laying it.
I think Calgary probably does deserve that number one or
two spot now in the CFL. But at the end
of the day, now does this merit then to be
laying this many points? Will find out. But I'm also
gonna say this, this is going to be the time
of year where you're gonna see the overreactions. You're gonna
see the the double digit point spreads that nine and
a half, ten and a half, eleven and a half.
I mean, if you see a nine and a half
a lot of times, it's gonna go to ten and
a half and eleven and a half. And you know,
I know it's the CFL, but it's hard to beat
any team by twelve thirteen points in any league.
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, absolutely. I love that the power standings.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great way to lose a lot of
money is just rank the teams based on their record.
And then yeah, with that, So Steven asks Andy and Andrew,
are you going to be doing.
Speaker 3: A football prop? Hell, yeah, we're doing.
Speaker 1: Course.
Speaker 2: That Monday night football show that we do every Monday
is a banger, man, it's a lot of fun. So yeah,
mondays we do Monday Night Football. We'll talk about what
happened on the weekend, we'll talk about looking forward. So
absolutely we're doing prop show, Steven, no doubt about that.
Speaker 8: So our favorite party that show, Andy, was the fact
that we were like looking at people to use next
week or go against next week. And the cool thing
is is like we don't necessarily want to be like, hey,
this guy put up one hundred and twenty five yards,
let's back and moving forward. We can most of them
say hey, this guy had an off week, but next
week could be a good week to go at them.
So that Monday show did really really well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's like everyone wants to watch Money Night
Football show to see the free plays and everything. But
you're right, the most important thing is, hey, what do
guys do this last weekend? And who are we looking
to fade and who are we looking to support? So
absolutely buckle up. It's going to be an incredible, incredible
year of Monday night football show.
Speaker 3: So all right, tell everyone what you have up for clients, Andrew.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just we had a five percent play going this weekend.
But I love this card overall, guys, So don't buy
the just one play. Get the rest of the CFL season.
We're thrown in first thirty days of NFL for free,
no extra cost, preseason, regular season, get involved, guys. Just
set it and forget it. You don't want to watch
the CFL, I'll watch for you. I think it's a
really really good time year to make money betting the CFL,
and we're pretty much dead even right now as far
as my results year to date CFL. But I love
the card this weekend. It's bounced back weekend five percent
percent play, locked and loaded. That play gave out Montreal
plus six and a half. That's a client play as well.
Ready to rock here, guys, by the season, get first
thirty days NFL at no extra cost.
Speaker 3: Love it.
Speaker 2: Andrew McGinnis, CFL expert, Make sure you take advantage of
the special and thanks for joining us, Andrew. So, Dan, Dan,

make sure you send me all your food photos.
Speaker 1: So, so I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Johnny's on day three Danny. Johnny started his a little
bit ago. Johnny in chat, how do you feel on
day three? Because if you've done a three day fast,
the first twelve hours are fine. When you get to
twenty four hours, that's when you start to notice it.
You just got to push through that twenty fod to
like thirty six.
Speaker 3: Hour and then you're great. And then you're good, didn't you?
Speaker 9: You sound like you sound like people who are about
to die from hypothermia, and they're like, you.
Speaker 1: Get really warm before the end, warm and euphoric.
Speaker 9: You're like, you just gotta get to the part where
your body's like I'm gonna die, and then the warm
euphoria sets in.
Speaker 3: It's darkest before the dawn, Dan, That's what they say.
Speaker 2: So yeah, look, Johnny, best thing you can do do
in every quarter now, that is legit life changing. I agree, Man,
day one sucks. Once you get to the twenty four
hour mark.
Speaker 3: It's brutal.
Speaker 2: Break through that wall and you're gonna feel great, Dan,
I'm serious. My knee joints feel better. Your body's just starting.
Speaker 1: No, I believe.
Speaker 9: I believe it when I I mean, I've gotten back in.
I've gotten back into intermittent fasting. And people are probably wondering, like,
why isn't Dan going on camera. Well, I had a
red eye flight with my dog, so I look like
absolute ass right now, Andy, So I'll be back on
camera tomorrow. But yeah, I started doing the intermittent fasting
again when you brought up Hey, I'm doing a three
day fast and already you know, you feel better.
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of mental fog goes away.
Speaker 9: It actually helps you eat cleaner because you want to
be eating foods that are you know, more sating than
you know snacking on chips or or whatever.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, so you inspired me to at least
go back.
Speaker 9: But I'm breaking the fast tonight and probably gonna house
about half a pie.
Speaker 2: Andy, Yeah, there's there's a time and a place for
fasting when you go back out east.
Speaker 3: That's nothing.
Speaker 1: It ain't the time cheese, steaks and pizza time. Baby,
let's go.
