00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,679
standard of sports betting shows, where we talk the talk

3
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:13,039
and walk the walk. It's Thursday, it's the end of

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,160
the NBA season, but we do have three games to

5
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:17,160
look at. We're gonna look at college hoops and we're

6
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:21,399
gonna look at Olympic hockey. You guys have asked, we deliver.

7
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:24,079
So Lawrence is gonna join us, and we're gonna talk

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,879
some Olympic hockey. Joyanry's gonna join us. We're gonna break

9
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,719
down a college basketball game, and we're gonna talk a

10
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:31,679
couple of NBA games. And of course we're gonna start

11
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,280
off with Yanni doing the Steam Report and Dan is

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,920
at a doctor's appointment. So we always start off with

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,840
wtf LFG. So you guys are getting a special treat.

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,119
We're bringing on Yannie. Yanni, it's your first time doing WTFLFG.

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,359
All right, here's how it goes. So I'm gonna give

16
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,479
you a play tonight and you tell me WTF if

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,000
you think it's bad, if it's if it's gonna lose LFG,

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,560
if you think it's gonna win, Here's where I'm going.

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920
I'm going Portland eight and a half against the Utah Jazz.

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,680
So Yanni, the Jazz make these trades and then they

21
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:08,000
attempt to go into full tank mode, except they accidentally

22
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:11,439
win two games in a row, which is a disaster

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,319
for their draft status. My guess is the owner and

24
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,319
the GM getting the ear of the coach is like,

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,400
you better not play these damn starters tonight. Uh, Portland,

26
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:24,840
they're in the play in, They're they're the they're the

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,359
last playing team. They are not tanking. They are playing

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,560
for something. This would be a really nice, easy win

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,680
for them in Utah after blowing out the Kings last

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,120
night on the back leg of a back to back,

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,920
has every you know quote reason to sit these guys

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,000
that have been playing well, like Lois Markin and such.

33
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:45,640
I think this is Portland in a blowout. What do

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,280
you say, WTF or LFG.

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're asking me this question, and I'm

36
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,159
going to answer it while addressing a comment the last

37
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,640
time I was on here on Monday, because I saw

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,519
it on the way out and uh that wait, So

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,159
I get back to address it because it rubbed me

40
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:08,840
the wrong way because it was the just the way

41
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:12,960
it was told that when the guy went in and commented,

42
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:19,199
I hate how Yanni doesn't know anything about players and

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400
doesn't watch the stuff and just cut some pastes.

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: Brother, nothing could be further from the truth.

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: I just don't sit there and follow the stuff like

46
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:33,280
a fan like probably you do.

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: Like I don't sit.

48
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,159
Speaker 2: There and own fantasy teams where I actually believe I'm

49
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:42,080
the owner of anything like I don't do that shit.

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,159
But I bet I actually do move these numbers that

51
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,840
you're betting into. In fact, as of nine oh three

52
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:54,039
am Pacific time, I bet exactly one hundred and thirty

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,879
six thousand dollars in these.

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: College basketball moves.

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: And I don't need to watch these games because, as

56
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:05,199
I'm betting, are inefficient numbers. The only thing I care

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,960
about is the betting line compared to my data.

58
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: That's it.

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: The rest of the narrative, the sports centers to all

60
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,000
that nonsense, to me doesn't matter. I've done this long

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,159
enough to know what matters, and that's how we're going

62
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,639
to break down this game that you're talking about. The

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,639
Only thing that matters to me is what's the number?

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,199
What's the power rating? Here's what I have. I know

65
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,319
that on my power ratings. Portland's the twenty first best

66
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:33,159
team in the NBA. You tolls the twenty seventh best

67
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,120
team in the NBA. So on paper, we know Portland's better.

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Portland's had the second toughest strength of schedule, so they've

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
played the second toughest schedule in all of the NBA.

70
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: Utalls played the seventh toughest. So two teams with.

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,439
Speaker 2: Very respectable strength of schedule. Now let's look at how

72
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:55,960
they match up offensively and defensively. Portland fourteenth inefficiency going

73
00:03:56,039 --> 00:04:01,680
up against the thirtieth defense in Utah. You toss fourth

74
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,000
in offense dis efficiency going up against the twenty third

75
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,879
defense in Portland. Now, again, both these defenses look very weak.

76
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:18,240
Both these offenses look very strong against very respectable strength

77
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,439
of schedules. What sticks out to me right there that

78
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,800
the bias will definitely be on the over, on the over,

79
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,519
And what did we see the overnight get bet over

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,959
two thirty six got bet all the way.

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,079
Speaker 3: To two thirty nine and a half, even some two

82
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,680
forties out there this morning.

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: And then what happened this morning early early while my

84
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,480
man who commented was probably watching Sports Center, I was

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,920
steaming the under too forty the under two thirty nine

86
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,199
and a half's and moving a lot of money.

87
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: On those unders.

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: For one of the groups that I bet NBA for

89
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:01,680
that currently has me up over fifty units in twenty

90
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,000
twenty five twenty twenty six season, without knowing any player's names,

91
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,279
let's throw that out there, up over fifty units. So

92
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,639
definitely the Sharps are on the under, and I one

93
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,040
hundred percent agree with that because it matches up with

94
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:20,920
my power ratings, where the narrative is the offenses are good,

95
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:23,920
the defenses suck. We talked about it during football with

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,879
bet on it how we usually have the perfect storm

97
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,360
for an under in those cases because the total is

98
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:35,800
going to be bumped up those biases, and so I

99
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,600
like the total.

100
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,079
Speaker 3: Now you like the Portland side. Power rating wise, I.

101
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,879
Speaker 2: Have Portland as a four percent favorite on a neutral court,

102
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,199
So if they were playing on a neutral court, based

103
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:49,480
on my power ratings, Portland should be about a four

104
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:49,879
to four.

105
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: And a half point favorite.

106
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,399
Speaker 2: Now we have to add home field advantage for Utahl,

107
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,879
and I make Utall's home field advantage home court advantage

108
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,399
about two and a half at the most, let's say two.

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,160
We'll just round it off at two. So with that,

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,319
Portland should only be about a two to two and

111
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,079
a half point favorite in this game. On the road,

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,600
they're way higher than that. They're eight and a half. Usually,

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:21,120
usually that tells me something's wrong, that there's players missing there.

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,439
Speaker 3: It's usually never going to be.

115
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: The narrative that forces the line to be that way

116
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,319
off from what my power ratings are. Like, if this

117
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,319
was two and a half points off, I'd be firing

118
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:33,920
on Utah.

119
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: There was three points off, I'd be firing on you all.

120
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:40,199
Speaker 2: But when I see that it's upwards of five six

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,720
point seven points off, then I have to pay attention

122
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,639
and realize I'm missing something. Something's not factored into my

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,839
power ratings. They're missing something. So what if I have

124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,879
to pay attention, it's probably players are out for Utah,

125
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,360
or players are back in.

126
00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: For Portland, or like you said, you Halls tanking.

127
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,439
Speaker 2: They don't even want to play, they actually want to lose,

128
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,439
while Portland's still playing for something. All of that makes

129
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,639
sense on why this line's higher than what the power

130
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,199
ratings reflect, and that's why I agree with you.

131
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: When it's that different from my power ratings.

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,439
Speaker 2: More times than not, it's the right side, meaning the

133
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,680
adjustments warranted. So if I had to bet this game,

134
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,000
I'd be a long way of saying, I'd be on Portland.

135
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,519
I'd be looking to lay eight, even if I had

136
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:30,279
to pay a little juice. If I could get eight

137
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,319
minus one point fifteen, which is currently availuable at bet online,

138
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,000
that's the bet I'd be making instead of the minus

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,079
eight and a half. So yeah, I left their Portland.

140
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
I like it at minus eight. I like the under

141
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:47,480
as well, So hopefully Dan is able to conclude a

142
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,920
little quicker for the viewers. But that's my roundabout way

143
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:54,240
of saying, I like Portland, so I agree with you there,

144
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,480
and I like the under as well.

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely the most in depth breakdown. Normally

146
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,279
it's Dan's saying what do you think? And I either

147
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,920
go yeah sure or I don't know. Yeah, no, I

148
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:07,519
don't like it. So but no, that's what you do.

149
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,279
That's uh, that's why you're the best in the business here.

150
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:14,519
So all right, we got Portland. Uh last night before

151
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,040
the All Star break minus eight and a half. Agree

152
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,600
with you, Yatti? That the power and that's the thing

153
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:20,600
you toss.

154
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 4: Been pretty good.

155
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: It's what the team doesn't want my Pacers. They won

156
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:26,839
the other night. I don't know if you saw this clip.

157
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000
They won the other night in overtime, and the head

158
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,120
coach was so mad.

159
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, dude, that's why NBA is almost

160
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,639
unbetable until the playoffs.

161
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,919
Speaker 1: It's so funny. It's it's so funny. Yeah.

162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: So City is still so much better than everyone else,

163
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:50,120
just because we're talking NB. I'll just throw that out

164
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,519
there real quick, because I got the updated NBA Power

165
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,840
ratings on Monday, and he has Oklahoma City four points

166
00:08:57,039 --> 00:09:01,960
better than the next best team, Detroit. And behind Detroit

167
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,559
is right there is Boston, Detroit, New York. Those three

168
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,639
are all within like a point of each other.

169
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here we'll just piggyback off this. We don't

170
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,759
have a ton of to talk to, so any questions

171
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,759
you guys have, this is the perfect thing. Yeah, Gary,

172
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:21,039
is Jared Jackson injured? No he's not. He's not injured,

173
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,639
but he's he's healthy. But this team doesn't want to win,

174
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,720
so they will come up with he tweaked his hankle.

175
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,399
Shoulder soreness like fatigue, knee soreness. The Pacers are getting

176
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,200
ready to do the exact same thing. The Kings already

177
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,039
did it last night. They threw out a G League

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,159
line up against Utah, And so you're you're gonna see

179
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:44,519
these these quote injuries pop up for these teams that

180
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,000
are taking taking has never been worse. It's it's got

181
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,440
to be addressed because it's bad to look bad, bad

182
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,320
look for the league. But it's just nature of the beast.

183
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: Schedule means everything right now because I'm looking at it.

184
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:02,000
Oklahoma City, Boston, Detroit, New York, Cleveland their strength of

185
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,720
schedule twenty eighth, twenty ninth, twenty seventh, thirtieth, and twenty fifth.

186
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,279
So those five teams have the twenty fifth, twenty ninth, thirtieth,

187
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,279
twenty eighth, twenty ninth, the toughest schedules. Like, they all

188
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,360
have the easiest schedules in all the NBA.

189
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:18,759
Speaker 4: So no.

190
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: Surprise that they're crushing it. Sacramento, Brooklyn, Utah, New Orleans.

191
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:29,399
All those teams in the basement that won around fifteen

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,639
games that are you know, less than thirty percent win rate,

193
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,080
they all have a top five strength of schedule. The

194
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,799
most impressive is Miami. Miami, believe it or not, because

195
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,240
they they're above five hundred, and they have like a

196
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,919
top five strength of schedule. Everyone else up there, the Denvers,

197
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
the Houston's, the even the Minnesota's.

198
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 3: They all have easy, easy schedules. It'll be hot where

199
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,360
the playoffs come.

200
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: YACHTI breaking news. I'm not making this up. Jaron Jackson

201
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,639
out for rest of season. There you go, Hey, you

202
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,000
need a little touch up surgery. Yep, season ending surgery.

203
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,320
That's how they run it perfect. Is that amazing what

204
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:13,240
he played last night? And he had Yeah, he had

205
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:15,960
an amazing games or like twenty plus points when you

206
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,240
know what he's out for the year. All right, great,

207
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240
we got some questions coming in here about NCAA basketball.

208
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,759
JK Yanni in West, who are the best two teams

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,799
after Oklahoma City? I I want your power rankings. I'll

210
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,639
go with my gut feeling. My gut feeling eye test

211
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,960
is at San Antonio and Denver. I think they've bypassed Houston.

212
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,720
I think Houston their chemistry looks off. They still have

213
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,639
problems at the point guard position. When all teams are healthy.

214
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:47,120
I have San Antonio and Denver. What's your power rankings?

215
00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: San Antono in the West, San Antonio other than after

216
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:54,679
Oklahoma City. After that, it's it's you know, Detroit, like

217
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,720
I said, in New York, Boston, Cleveland, and then it's

218
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080
San Antonio. The next best team in the West is

219
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,240
San Antonio, followed by Minnesota. Then like you said, Denver, Houston,

220
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,480
they're all right there next.

221
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:08,879
Speaker 3: To each other.

222
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: So you have Minnesota up there.

223
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they've actually dropped. He actually dropped them

224
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:16,519
this week on Minnesota. I mean, has had an easy

225
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,519
strength of schedule at top five offense, barely top fifteen defense.

226
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,759
But yeah, he's got them right now in the top

227
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,480
eight in all.

228
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:26,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

229
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,519
Speaker 1: I like what they did. They traded for a point

230
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,240
guard that I think is really really going to help

231
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:35,360
them out. So I think that's pretty good. So any

232
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,200
NCAA basketball steam, any line moves. I know it's early

233
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,320
in the day. I don't know if you've got anything forced.

234
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: Tony, Yes, sir, I have a ton So I'm only

235
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
going to read off a handful because I think there's

236
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
like I said, I've been bet really early today.

237
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:48,879
Speaker 3: Here's what's been happening.

238
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: So I'm going to share something with the viewers that

239
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,720
for them to pay attention that we bet the overnights.

240
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: I don't really mess with them.

241
00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: Again, not Brad higher up in the food chain where

242
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,279
I don't like use my accounts.

243
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: For that stuff.

244
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: But the overnights a lot of times they're used to

245
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,759
dummy up numbers the next morning, So pay attention to

246
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,919
see if there's followed through in the morning. But then

247
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,399
here's what happens. We bet a bunch of stuff early

248
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,000
in the morning. Like I said, I just bet about

249
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,120
twenty plays college basketball sides totals extra board games, and

250
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,480
then around one o'clock our time four o'clock Eastern. Between

251
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,799
one o'clock my time and three o'clock those two hours,

252
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,679
a bunch of more stuff comes in. That's where I

253
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,720
get all those NBA player props, That's where I get

254
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,240
all that late college basketball action and even some NBA

255
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,559
So pay attention to those line moves after four pm

256
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,200
Eastern because a lot of the off screen books, like

257
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,879
the ones I use to move this stuff in, they

258
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,840
don't even offer a lot of the player props till

259
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,879
later in the afternoon, Like they'll offer the first game

260
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,279
or the second game that go off at seven o'clock,

261
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,279
but they won't offer the later games in the NBA slate.

262
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,039
So what these groups have been doing. They've been waiting

263
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,080
till those open up have then been firing. So those

264
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,360
player props that start coming in at four pm Eastern,

265
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,039
those are usually like legit, and they've been waiting hours

266
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,279
to get down on them. So pay attention now. College basketball,

267
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,159
let's jump right in. Start off seven forty nine VALTPOW

268
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,000
plus the nine uh seven forty seven Robert Morris minus

269
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,879
the three seven to fifty nine Georgia State plus six

270
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:34,519
and a half seven seventy Florida International minus the eight

271
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:38,759
seven eighty four Nebraska Omaha plus the four eight oh

272
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:42,759
three Utah Valley minus the eight eight twenty Bakersfield plus

273
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,000
the thirteen added game three zero six five to nine

274
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,679
to three Winthrop minus the twenty five seven to four

275
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:53,679
Main plus the four and five seven two Binghamton plus

276
00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:55,679
the twelve and a half. Like I said, if anyone

277
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:58,399
that got the subscribers that and anyone that bought today's

278
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,120
seam sheet, there's already.

279
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: Four we're added games in there, twenty plus.

280
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:06,639
Speaker 2: College basketball, three or four NBA We got really busy early.

281
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,480
More stuff will be added in there as well as

282
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:10,279
the buybacks.

283
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: I always come back and let them.

284
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,159
Speaker 2: Know this group's middling this game, or this is a

285
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720
different group that's now taking the other.

286
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:19,039
Speaker 3: Side at this number.

287
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:21,559
Speaker 2: So I'll always go back and let them know if

288
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,240
there's resistance coming in later, because again, a lot of

289
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240
this stuff, as you can see, is bet really early,

290
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,960
and as the day goes on, information changes, positions change,

291
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:33,799
so we update that constantly.

292
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's see who are your power ratings in

293
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,919
college basketball here at this point?

294
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 6: All right, Duke Duke, Duke, Duke number one, Houston. Houston

295
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:53,600
is now my number two team, surpassing Arizona who's right

296
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:59,320
behind them, followed by Michigan, and Florida is my fifth

297
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,440
best team in college basketball. That's the one that is uh,

298
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,600
probably people scratching their heads.

299
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: So like, wait, the.

300
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: AP has Florida at fourteen, and if I'm not mistaken,

301
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600
let me see where Ken Palm has them, real fast,

302
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,399
Ken Pom's got Florida.

303
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: Okay, he's got him fit, see, so he knows, he knows,

304
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:18,960
he knows.

305
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,519
Speaker 2: Florida is the top five team that's an undervalue team

306
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,519
right now in the betting market because the AP where

307
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,000
the AP has them. So yeah, Florida is a team

308
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,039
that's sticking out in my top five. So yeah, Duke's

309
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,440
still at the top, Still at the top, followed by

310
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,759
what's it called, Arizona, Houston, Michigan, and Florida.

311
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Detroit is not happy with you in the live

312
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:51,440
chat about Michigan, your lack of respect for Michigan. Hey, listen, Johnny,

313
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,000
he's just he's just reading the markets.

314
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,519
Speaker 3: Michigan's good, dude, they haven't.

315
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: They have a very respectable schedule, tenth toughest strength of

316
00:16:58,759 --> 00:16:59,840
schedule and.

317
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:02,159
Speaker 3: Only have one loss. That's very very good.

318
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,319
Speaker 2: Duke's nineteenth, Houston's thirty six, Arizona's thirteenth. Only Florida has

319
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,559
had a toughest length to schedule the number three. So yeah,

320
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:14,039
Michigan's legit bro fourth best offense as well, most efficient,

321
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,880
but barely top twenty defense. That's where they're gonna have

322
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,839
to shore it up. They got to improve on the

323
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,480
defensive side of the ball if they want to cut

324
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,400
down the nuts in April.

325
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,599
Speaker 1: All right, So, Yanni, not a whole lot going on,

326
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,079
unless you're you and me, there's always stuff going on.

327
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,680
So what do you have about for everyone of Thursday?

328
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: The steamsheet's already up there, with an NBA best bet.

329
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,559
I think we've won every steam Sheet best bet this week,

330
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,279
so hopefully that continues. I also the strongest NBA bet

331
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:44,720
of the day. I put that up in Sports Memo

332
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:46,799
because they have that seven dollars. So I'm like, let

333
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,480
me put the strongest bet out there for seven bucks.

334
00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:51,519
I don't know, not everybody's bank roll, you know, warrant

335
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,559
a twenty nine to thirty nine dollars package, because again

336
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:57,759
you're paying for the information.

337
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: Your ROI gets affected.

338
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: So we got to throw some gold out there for

339
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:06,799
those five dollars Tuesdays and seven dollars over Sports Memos.

340
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: So I got the NBA best bet there.

341
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: And just like yesterday, if I could piece together a

342
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,519
strong college basketball package, I'll do that. Yesterday's went to

343
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,480
and one. The day before that I think went too

344
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,000
and oh a day before that three and oh. Package

345
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:21,039
will only be put together if I could confirm a

346
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:23,839
couple of plays, otherwise they'll all be in the steam

347
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:25,119
Sheet and nab at it.

348
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,039
Speaker 1: All right, Joanni, thank you very much. I can't wait

349
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:31,720
for you to return. Next week, we're gonna talk about that.

350
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:34,480
Fluffy Hernandez doing an interview where he talks about a

351
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:38,200
potential injury. Rutt Roll will dive into that next week.

352
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,440
So thanks very much, Jeannie. We'll see you tomorrow. Brother,

353
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,799
have a great Thursday. Let's see good question from Mark here,

354
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:46,359
is there anyway we can get a promo package that

355
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,480
comes with Carmine and Andrew throughout the Olympics when by

356
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,039
a package, can't decide on on who I want? Yeah,

357
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Johnny already answered this in the chat. Just email customer service.

358
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,880
They'll put you together. They can do anything you guys want,

359
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,799
Like if you're interested in Joe Vernier, he's college basketball

360
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,920
plays and my rugby plays. They'll they'll they'll make something

361
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,880
for you. It's a nice thing about being a being

362
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,000
a part of wager talk. So do it asap. That

363
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:18,000
way you get the plays. I mean, we're we're already

364
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,960
you know, started into the hockey in Olympics. So email

365
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,559
asap and they'll get you settled. Settled up. There a

366
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:25,799
lot of good specials. We're still running the Valentine's Day

367
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,519
special six days for the price of three for only

368
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,000
sixty nine dollars. That gets you all sports, So just

369
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:36,480
pick a handicapper. It's the same price as a three

370
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,079
day pass just because there's no NBA or other sports.

371
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,119
I'll just use myself as an example. We have a

372
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,759
darts play that's up today, two four percent rugby plays,

373
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,200
a four percent boxing play. On Sunday, we have a

374
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,400
three percent soccer play. So there are a lot of

375
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,480
handi caappers with a lot of sports that are have

376
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,200
a lot of ways to profit. So there's golf going

377
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,599
on this weekend several leagues. So just because we don't

378
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960
have any doesn't mean there's not plenty of opportunity to profit.

379
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,519
And somebody that's always finding ways to profit. Sure, Neeri

380
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,359
coming in, Joe, I just made that up. But yeah,

381
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,920
down for college basketball rugby promo? Why not?

382
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: No brainer, man, exactly it if you can think of it,

383
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,440
trust me, we can figure out how to put it

384
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,279
together for you. It's not yeah, yeah, absolutely, whatever your

385
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:28,640
imagination goes, we can figure it out for you without

386
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,000
a doubt.

387
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: It's what we do here.

388
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,799
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. You got three games to break down, so

389
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:39,279
we're gonna waste no time here. Perdue Fort Wayne. So

390
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:41,440
Purdue is in West Lafayette. Fort Wayne is on the

391
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,319
other side of the state versus Green Bay. I love

392
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,440
these geographical these colleges named after two different parts of

393
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,759
the state. So I know nothing about these teams. I

394
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:55,319
do know Perdue Fort, Wayne, I know that the campus,

395
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,559
it's actually a nice campus. What do you know about

396
00:20:57,599 --> 00:20:59,240
these teams? Tell us about it? What are we gonna

397
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,519
do with this game? Looks like it's a pretty close

398
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:02,160
spread here.

399
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna have to have a word with Chris

400
00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:08,559
picking up this game of the card that we have

401
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,079
here today, and he's throwing out the Masta Dons versus

402
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,200
Green Bay Phoenix here for the viewing audience. But listen,

403
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:20,319
the reality is you got two different styles going at

404
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,799
one another.

405
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 7: Right.

406
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 5: You got Purdue for it, Wayne, who wants to do

407
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:26,799
it defensively. You got green Bay that wants to do

408
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,920
it offensively. I think the spread tells you everything in

409
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,119
this game, right. It's basically a pickham price and PFW

410
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:39,480
is gonna wanna pressure as much as they possibly can't

411
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:43,200
double team, and that is what's gonna separate who wins

412
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,720
this game. Are they gonna be able to get enough turnovers?

413
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:51,000
Both teams give or take average around seventy six points

414
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:56,039
a game, so the tempo isn't gonna be overly fast.

415
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:01,079
Neither is overly efficient offensively. But this is one of

416
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:03,000
those spots where you got to give credit to the

417
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:06,599
home team, right, That's the whole point in this, yere is.

418
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:10,839
I do believe the offensive efficiency for green Bay at

419
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,160
home is ultimately what's gonna get it done here. If

420
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,599
I was gonna go anywhere here, it would be with

421
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,240
the home team to get it done against the Mastodons.

422
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: Let's let's make one thing clear. Joe, he Chris clearly

423
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,319
looked at the mascots and was like, Ooh, Mastadons Phoenix

424
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,519
Phoenix like action movie.

425
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 7: No.

426
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:38,039
Speaker 5: I mean, we could have went Belmont Northern Iowa for

427
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,559
the Mountain. Nope, We're doing Purdue Fort Wayne versus Green Bay.

428
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,559
Speaker 4: Baby, I love it.

429
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: The Master Dons versus the Phoenix. That is a pretty

430
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,960
good title for a movie, you get it. I might

431
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,759
be in, like ye throw.

432
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:52,839
Speaker 4: A couple of monstars.

433
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get to Let's get the team

434
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:03,599
with some players that I've heard of. We're gonna do

435
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,119
the NBA Prime here. We got Bucks versus Thunder, we

436
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,920
got MAVs versus Lakers here. Bucks are probably done with

437
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,799
Giannis for the season, maybe forever. Thunder though, nice it's

438
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:18,839
just a pretty easy chance to steal it in going

439
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,839
into the All Star break here. So it's a big,

440
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,799
big t it's a big, big spread. I get it.

441
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:25,799
And that's what we're here to talk about. So you're

442
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:28,079
looking at the over under, you're looking at the spread here,

443
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:29,240
what do you see in this game tonight?

444
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,079
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go.

445
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, these last couple of days in the

446
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,559
NBA has been absolutely hilarious because there is a clear

447
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,960
line in the sand where you have teams that honestly

448
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,359
are willing to do whatever they can to rack up

449
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,920
as many wins as they can prior to this vacation.

450
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:51,960
And then you've got teams, oh, I don't know, like

451
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:54,799
Phoenix last night in front of their home crowd, or

452
00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:58,079
Philadelphia in front of their home crowd, who wanted nothing

453
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,359
to do with winning a bass ball game or trying

454
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,160
in any way, shape or form. In fact, they all

455
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,960
should have just left to go on vacation yesterday instead

456
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,839
of actually playing those games. Dan, you could have played

457
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,640
for Philadelphia last night and the score wouldn't have changed

458
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,480
at all.

459
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,759
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

460
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:20,599
Speaker 5: So now you've got a Milwaukee Bucks team that did

461
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,640
win last night against Orlando, but now second of a

462
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,160
back to back, to Thunder handled their business against Phoenix.

463
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,880
But it's clear that even without you know, Shay gilgis there,

464
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960
that they are trying to win as many games they figured. Listen,

465
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,960
we've already lost what thirteen games on the season. We

466
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:43,400
have no intention of losing many more than that. Because

467
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,240
they came out fireing last night. Phoenix had another one

468
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:50,920
of those scheduled losses. No Booker, no Green, no Allen.

469
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,680
They weren't taking any chances last night. They won the

470
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:57,359
night before and that was good enough for them. The

471
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,599
Thunder don't care. It is a big number, but I

472
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160
would not shock me in front of their home crowd

473
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,839
that they absolutely.

474
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 4: Win this game going away.

475
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: But I listen, can we trust the Bucks to score

476
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:12,680
enough to get this thing up and over? We've already

477
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,680
seen a little bit of movement in the total in

478
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,960
this game, Andy, and you'd be hard pressed here. I

479
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:21,640
keep seeing the number go up for Okay, see, I

480
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,319
agree with it, it's up to thirteen, but we're also

481
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:27,920
starting to see the total drop, and I think I

482
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,400
agree with that move.

483
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: More than anything else.

484
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 5: There's only so much Cam Thomas is going to be

485
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,279
able to do for the Milwaukee Bucks, although he did

486
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,920
drop thirty four against Orlando last night.

487
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cam Thomas, Yeah, it looks like Ryan Rollins

488
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:48,279
is probably questionable here, so shocker. Yeah. Yeah, we do

489
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,440
have a Seth has a really really in depth question here.

490
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Can Joe give us the sound of a master to don?

491
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: I will come off with that Seth for you. We'll

492
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:01,720
have that before it is all said.

493
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,279
Speaker 1: Yes, is it? Is it a growl? Is it a scream?

494
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,480
I don't. I don't really know what a mastadon is?

495
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,200
Mastadon water? That's a good question. Is that is I

496
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,279
think a madon can.

497
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: Work, That's a good question. I'm not sure what the

498
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,440
hell it is. I'm gonna look at how do you

499
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,880
dressed up as a mascot like that? That's interesting, Andy.

500
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:27,559
Speaker 1: I'll look up the mascot of a Macedon here real quick,

501
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:30,680
but I'll do it while you're breaking down this Mavericks Lakers.

502
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Cooper flag has been incredible. Sadly, he's not going to

503
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:38,079
play tonight. Donci remains out as of now. Austin Reeves

504
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,839
and Lebron are gonna play. Makes sense they sat in

505
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,680
the last one. So what do we have here for

506
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,519
Mavericks and Lakers night. What do you see in this game?

507
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

508
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: You mean Lebron and Reeves and Marcus Smart took what

509
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,880
just took the night off against the Spurs. But they're

510
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,640
willing to come back against the lowly Mavericks and now

511
00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,440
lost Cooper flag. What a shock here? Yeah, let's Lebron

512
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,720
made a big deal after the last game in which

513
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:06,920
he didn't participate in, which is hilarious about his team

514
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,720
not playing a full forty eight minutes.

515
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Andy that we.

516
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,079
Speaker 5: Can't be serious if we don't give maximum effort for

517
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,400
four quarters, says the guy that sat out against the

518
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,240
Spurs here. But they are going to play, no doubt

519
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,720
against the MAVs here. But no Cooper flag, no offense

520
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,200
for Dallas here, And I don't mind laying the seven

521
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:29,559
and a half.

522
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 4: Listen, donchag and Odonci. The Lakers have been great against

523
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,160
teams under five hundred. It's where they rack up most

524
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,839
of the wins.

525
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 5: Don't trust them against teams like the Spurs or Okay

526
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,680
See or others, But no, against these sub five hundred

527
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,000
teams like the Dallas Mavericks, they can be trusted to

528
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:49,440
go out at least with a win, and if Lebron,

529
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:51,440
he was the first one I think that was cleared

530
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,559
to play tonight. Andy, So if Lebron is good enough

531
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:58,200
to go, then I believe Reeves will go. The rest

532
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,880
of them will go, and they will uh they will

533
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,319
win this game, likely by double digits, as the MAVs

534
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,319
just don't want to lose any more players.

535
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:11,599
Speaker 1: At this particular point, it makes sense. Listen, it was

536
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,960
a back to back, Lebron. Lebron has earned the right

537
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:17,079
to not play in back to backs and has earned

538
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:21,079
the right to not play against women. Yes, would you

539
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,400
want to play against women? Yama?

540
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point.

541
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 5: And don't be shocked when all of a sudden they

542
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,160
missed the play in tournament too, because Lebron earned the

543
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,599
right to take games off.

544
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,759
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

545
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Okay, we have all right, here's a mastdon and I

546
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:43,599
have found I found the mastdon. So it's an elephant.

547
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: Oh, I would not have come up with that at all.

548
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: Here, I believe I can pull up here. Uh so yeah,

549
00:28:54,160 --> 00:29:01,920
this this is the let's see. Yeah, So it's it's

550
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,519
I can't I can't pull it up. It's it's just

551
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:07,640
an elephant. It's an old elephant, and the mascot is

552
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,440
pretty easy. It's just a big elephant.

553
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 5: Oh, I think I found it, Andy, I think I

554
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680
found it. Yeah, yeah, here's what it is.

555
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: There it is. Yes, yeah, that's what it sounds like.

556
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,599
Speaker 1: Yeah it yes, all the elephants, all the elephants. I

557
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:29,000
seen you just like that.

558
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:35,599
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yes, that's exactly what it sounds like.

559
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: All right, I'll be the first one to do. All right,

560
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:46,519
I'll be the first one here. All right, ready, all

561
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,079
the good news is you have a mastodon coming up here,

562
00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:50,000
I think after me.

563
00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: So you're good to go. You're gonna have him through

564
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:53,440
the sound. It'll be great.

565
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: I think that was more of like a elephant mixed

566
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,319
with a donkey. I think there was a there's some

567
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,160
donkey DNA.

568
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:04,359
Speaker 4: That's what when you mix a phoenix and a mastadon together.

569
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: That's exactly the sound that you get, exactly unreal.

570
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,839
Speaker 1: Oh well, Joe, it is the NBA All Star break here.

571
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,000
But I know you still got college basketball and other things.

572
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,519
So tell everyone what we can expect from this break

573
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:19,480
and what do you have up by wage you're talking about.

574
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:22,039
Speaker 5: Well, you can expect me not watching the All Star Game,

575
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:24,359
because I don't even know what the hell they're doing.

576
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:27,000
They should just stop playing it and give these guys

577
00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:30,400
a week off. And if we're being honest here, I mean,

578
00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:34,279
unless you get the players to be interested at all

579
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:37,440
and competing against one another for this event, it's going

580
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,680
to be a coin flip kind of situation. You don't

581
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,640
know what you're going to get here, but you won't

582
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,359
have Cooper Flag, but you will have Conkin Nipple, who

583
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,079
I think might be worth a bet for the Rookie

584
00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:51,880
of the Year award in those markets there. But listen,

585
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,400
if there's clearly a line that has been drawn in

586
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,079
this sand with those teams that are looking to tank

587
00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:01,119
this year, and there's a lot of and I think

588
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,640
the big reason why is that if you've watched college

589
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,559
hoops this year, there are a bunch and I mean

590
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:11,759
a bunch of players coming out that are game changers

591
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:14,200
for franchises. So there are going to be a lot

592
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,559
of teams vying for those ping pong balls and trying

593
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,240
to better themselves in this draft because there's a lot

594
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:25,160
of guys that can change the trajectory of franchises coming

595
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,000
out of College's one of the best freshman classes I

596
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,079
can remember in a very very long time. So having

597
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,559
said that, be very careful when you see teams like, oh,

598
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:38,200
by the way, Utah just now shut down Triple J. Shocker,

599
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920
because who thought Utah is trying to tank? Just about

600
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,559
anybody who's actually watched Utah pull their starters in the

601
00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:48,720
fourth quarter of every game. But Triple J is now

602
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:52,160
on the shelf. I'm assuming marketing will be close behind,

603
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:55,799
So tread carefully. And what we learned over the last

604
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:58,920
couple of days, teams like the Knicks and okay, seeing

605
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:02,400
San Antono, you know there are teams out there that

606
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,599
don't care what your goal is. They are going to

607
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,599
stick it to you as best they can. So be

608
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,880
careful take advantage of those spots when they come back

609
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,720
after this All Star break. And it's pretty clear and

610
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:19,319
those that don't want to win versus those that want

611
00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:21,359
to keep rolling right into the postseason.

612
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: And Joe, real quick, we got we got some time.

613
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:28,319
I'm with you, either scrap the All Star game. I

614
00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:30,279
brought this. I brought this up to Steve merriland he

615
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:32,359
actually kind of liked it, like, why can't you just

616
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000
do some kids games like knockout. Who wouldn't want to

617
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:38,200
see all the NBA All Stars playing knockout? Yes, they're

618
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,359
just like or twenty one or like pig or Like

619
00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:44,039
why can't we do some of those where because these

620
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,559
guys don't want to compete hard against each other. Who

621
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,400
could blame him? It's a long season. They do this

622
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,960
All Star Game in the middle of it, Like, why

623
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,160
can't we just do something like that where we get

624
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,640
to see the guys all together on the court. But

625
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,720
it's not in something that's quote competitive to them. It's

626
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:01,240
really bit a ball dropping.

627
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 5: Dodgeball, Like I hear you. I mean, look at the

628
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:08,240
NFL and flank football. Who didn't love that? In a

629
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:12,079
you know, looked like a catering hall they were having

630
00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:13,839
a bar Mitz fan like I don't even know what

631
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640
that was either, But I will say this, I think

632
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,359
it's very simple. Here's what you do is you take

633
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,279
five million dollars from the salary of every All Star

634
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,240
and put it into a pot and let them play

635
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,240
for their own money and watch how much they care

636
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:34,480
andy about who wins the All Star Game. You watch

637
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,160
just take five million from each All Star. Here you

638
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,480
go throwing the pot, winning team wins. All watch how

639
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,559
fast they they go ahead and care about the All

640
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:44,920
Star Game weekend.

641
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,799
Speaker 1: I heard I was jealous of this one. So Nick

642
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:51,039
Wright had a good one on a podcast. He was like,

643
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:56,440
put Luka Jokic, Austin Reeves, kan Ka Nipple to white

644
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,920
guys versus black guys.

645
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: They'll play hard, they'll play yeah, right, exactly, They'll just

646
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,799
shoot him. It's ridiculous. It's it's I mean, Kobe rest

647
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,400
is soul man. Goby's got to be just watching this

648
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,440
every year, going, you gotta be kidding me here, man,

649
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,880
A guy that would rather cut off a limb than

650
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,239
lose to anybody in any game anywhere. And this is

651
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,119
what we've got with this generation of NBA players.

652
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:21,639
Speaker 4: Unreal.

653
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:24,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta be honest. I know, blame teams for tanking.

654
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:27,639
It's the system that's set up. Like it's it's not

655
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,000
the team's fault. Nope, it's just the way it is. Like,

656
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:33,119
I mean, I'm one year removed from my Pacers being

657
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,719
in the NBA Finals and now I'm just rooting them

658
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,079
to sit sack him for the rest of the correct.

659
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,119
Speaker 4: You know, like anybody else get hurt, don't anybody else

660
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:41,599
get hurt.

661
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:46,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, exactly. Well, okay, Joe, you're number one.

662
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,920
We brought up somebody brought up top five hairdos at

663
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,440
wager Talk. So he has me and Jesse tied Teddy.

664
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:56,559
I gotta be honest, I had Teddy in the top three. Uh,

665
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,480
John says Teddy. Silver Fox covers three Uh with the

666
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:05,760
flowing locks ross the Boss, Benjamin and Joe Ranieri coming

667
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,599
in at number one.

668
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,199
Speaker 5: I think I just saw a mast it on. Oh

669
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,280
my god, what are you gonna do there? Oh?

670
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:23,559
Speaker 1: No, oh boy? All right, well Joe, great breakdowns, continued success,

671
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,920
all of his plays are over at wager Talk. Let's

672
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,000
have a big weekend, Joe, and I'll see you next week. Brother,

673
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:36,719
Thank you so much. Oh well, we know who's coming

674
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,320
up next, So let's talk to Lawrence and then we'll

675
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,079
talk about talk all around the world.

676
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,519
Speaker 7: So what I'm hearing is I wear a hat too often,

677
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:55,039
because if I didn't wear a hat too often, I would.

678
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: Be number one, clearly.

679
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 4: Club.

680
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:04,519
Speaker 7: I'm fifty six years old, bro, fifty six years old. Like,

681
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,599
I don't understand how it gets better than this.

682
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: It's it's good, You're right though we can't see it

683
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,760
hardly ever, that's the best the thing it's ever on

684
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:15,519
the play.

685
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 7: Next time I come on, I am going to do

686
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:26,960
I'm going to the hairdresser. I'm gonna get it straightened, highlighted, colored, styled, stepped,

687
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,159
flock of seagulls, the works.

688
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna look fabulous, absolutely fabulous. So we're gonna talk

689
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,360
Olympic hockey here, and I want your overall thoughts here.

690
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,960
I'm guessing the books have done quite well on Olympic

691
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,159
hockey so far into this. So walk us through what

692
00:36:47,199 --> 00:36:51,039
you've seen in Olympic hockey. What's the surprises, what are

693
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:53,159
the things that you expected? Just give us an overall

694
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,320
view of what's going on there, and then we'll talk

695
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,760
a couple of specific games.

696
00:36:57,039 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 7: Well, listen, right up the bat, nothing has majorly surprised me.

697
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,119
We obviously had an update with Finland losing the Slovakia,

698
00:37:03,159 --> 00:37:07,800
but Slovakia is a much better team than most people anticipated,

699
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400
and that we're on a down moment for Finland, so

700
00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:13,199
I don't even really look at that as some major upset.

701
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,880
Other than that Canada's up three nothing against the Czech Republic.

702
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,960
No one saw that coming. And yeah, I mean the

703
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:27,159
Canadians got throttled by the women American women team. That's okay,

704
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,239
round robin game, but yeah, the American women team look really,

705
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,400
really good. I think they should win the gold medal.

706
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:39,599
Plus Canada's missing their number one female hockey player, so yeah,

707
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:43,519
no major surprises. But I'm excited it's here and it's

708
00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:47,639
great to see the professionals playing at the Olympics this year.

709
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk a couple of specifics here. We'll get

710
00:37:51,679 --> 00:37:54,840
to Sweden and Finland, but let's start off with USA

711
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,039
versus Latvia. This is today, I believe, so yeah, yeah,

712
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,360
so what do you expect from today's game? Usa Lavia?

713
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 7: You know, I expect the under in this game, and honestly, Andy,

714
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:08,719
I think ultimately you bet the under all the way

715
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,320
through from now to the finals, you're going to win

716
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,159
more than you're going to lose. These are playoff games, man,

717
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,480
These are games that these teams are trying their best for.

718
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,960
And what we have here is a lopsided game. America

719
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:26,199
has got loaded with talent. There are not many NHL

720
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:31,239
players on the Latvian team, and the only way to

721
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400
beat a team that is a lot better than you,

722
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,039
especially in hockey, is to close ranks, play five back,

723
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,440
play a very very defensive style, keep America on the outside.

724
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,280
I don't think Latvia is coming out saying how are

725
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,960
we going to score goals? They're coming out saying how

726
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,840
are we going to limit America to three or two

727
00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:55,079
and hope we could get lucky. They've played each other

728
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:58,880
nineteen times, it's gone. The average is five point two

729
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,679
goals a game. We got five and a half in

730
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,280
this game, a six and a half in this game.

731
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:07,440
So we already know that these two teams when they

732
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,519
play each other, play to the under. And I understand

733
00:39:09,559 --> 00:39:11,519
everyone's going to sit there and say, well, look, I

734
00:39:11,519 --> 00:39:15,800
mean these were completely different rosters, especially nineteen games ago.

735
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,199
That's not the point. The point is every time they

736
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,840
played each other, America was light years better than the

737
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,440
Latvian team. So we know the style of play that

738
00:39:27,559 --> 00:39:30,599
America is going to come in playing it's minus three

739
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:34,320
and a half, Andy, I would have no issue taking

740
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,679
America here. I think we will see a five nothing,

741
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,760
five to one game and both of those get US

742
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,159
America minus three and a half and both of those

743
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,079
cash the under. My favorite play on this game is

744
00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:51,400
the under. I have no issue in America minus three

745
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,039
and a half. But if I was only to make

746
00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:55,039
one bet, it would be on the under.

747
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:58,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I'm looking at some of these scores here,

748
00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:00,519
you know, four to one with Slovakia, Finland, in five

749
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:03,519
to two Sweden Italy, but then four zero Switzerland, France,

750
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:07,119
Canada checking three zero, and we saw the under barely

751
00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:10,039
hit on the US you know, Canadian women's game.

752
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Andy, I'll tell you something. It is

753
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,760
super hard for a team like say Denmark to score

754
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:25,480
a goal. It's super one goal, like Latvia could go

755
00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:28,880
the whole way with with with zero goals in this

756
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:34,039
entire tournament. It is these are I mean Connor Hullenbuch

757
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:38,079
is in that, Bro. This guy shuts out NHL players

758
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,159
on a nightly basis, and now he's playing a bunch

759
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:46,039
of players that are you know, slightly better than me. Ah,

760
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,639
it's gonna be very hard for Latvia to score.

761
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 4: Bro.

762
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 7: Hey, you've never seen me play hockey.

763
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: I like slightly. I love the pat on the back

764
00:40:54,679 --> 00:40:55,760
slightly better than.

765
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 7: I'll tell you they don't have better hair than me.

766
00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:03,119
Speaker 1: No, only only five people do. They just happen to

767
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:05,360
be a wager talk. No, they don't.

768
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,559
Speaker 7: And Joe, we don't even know if that's Joe's real

769
00:41:09,639 --> 00:41:13,679
hair or if he just has this gelled shag sitting

770
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,039
next to him that he plops on his damn head.

771
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:19,119
There hasn't been one strand has never moved out of

772
00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:23,639
place on Joe's hair, not ever in history. So it

773
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,920
could be fake. It could be fake.

774
00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, I were gonna go over Sweden, Finland, then

775
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,440
I want to get some overall overall thoughts on just

776
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,559
the Olympics in general inclusion, what could you and I

777
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:41,199
partner up in? So let's talk. Yeah, let's talk about baby.

778
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,639
I want to be on the bottom. That's where I

779
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,599
was going was the two.

780
00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:49,079
Speaker 7: I want you lying on top of me while we

781
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,960
practice for four years, six hours a day, You on

782
00:41:54,039 --> 00:41:56,559
top of me for no reason.

783
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:01,639
Speaker 1: On a flimsy sled wearing a razor thin one piece.

784
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,079
Speaker 7: My question is why stop at two? Next year Manaja

785
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:11,920
ta luge a triple? Why not have sixteen people lying

786
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,159
on top of each.

787
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: Other just like the duct tape them all?

788
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. The DUC taping is part of the event,

789
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,119
so you can risk. You could do a light duct

790
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,599
tape and hope they hold together or you can spend

791
00:42:27,639 --> 00:42:31,960
an extra thirty seconds doing a power duct tape so

792
00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:33,559
we know they get to the end.

793
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: This is great, Yeah, this is great. I also thought

794
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:42,760
lot about figure skating, one of us throwing the other

795
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,840
in air while they while they try and turn four

796
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,599
times and the other has to catch. Surely there would

797
00:42:48,599 --> 00:42:51,239
be at least one where the other would drop the

798
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,920
other on purpose, as just as.

799
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 7: I would never drop you on purpose. Andy, Look, I

800
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,239
actually like the figure skating strange.

801
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: I love it.

802
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 7: I was like edibled up last night and I was

803
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,159
like watching the ice dancing I was in Man plus

804
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,360
that frenchwoman A moment fight a moment.

805
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just can't wrap my head around

806
00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:18,360
skating around in a costume and then jumping and spinning

807
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,320
four times and lading on one foot like and going

808
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,440
out a sport.

809
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

810
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I dropped the glass of water the other day,

811
00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:27,920
Like I couldn't walk through my own kitchen without having

812
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,440
an accident.

813
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 7: Yet, Dude, it's shocking to me that ice dancing is

814
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:37,679
a thing and ballroom dancing is not. At the Olympics, okay,

815
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,400
but hey, yeah dancing. They did have a break dancing

816
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,880
at the Olympics. Anyway, Look, I love the freking Olympics.

817
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:45,880
Let's get back to that.

818
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: Let me give you my skate.

819
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 7: My Swedeen Finland pick. But before we get into that,

820
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,239
my favorite play today is Germany minus one and a half.

821
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,320
I gave that out on the Best betting show ever.

822
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,880
That is my single bet for the day. Germany minus

823
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,039
one and a half, Sweden and Finland. I like Sweden

824
00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:05,039
and regulation here. Look, they had a scare against Italy.

825
00:44:05,079 --> 00:44:06,960
They got it done, they won the game, but they

826
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,119
did not play well. And the bottom line here Andy

827
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,119
is there are three teams that are gonna be vying

828
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:19,800
for the gold medal, three Canada, America and Sweden. One

829
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,440
of those two of those teams are gonna play have

830
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:26,440
to play each other in the semifinals. The key right

831
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,239
now is to avoid that. And the way the system

832
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:35,239
is set up, regulation wins get you more points than

833
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,960
overtime wins. Sweden, America, Canada, these guys need to sweep.

834
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:44,199
They need to sweep in regulation. I think Sweden gets

835
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,239
it done. I am not high on this Finland team

836
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,679
at all, and we saw how bad they played. I

837
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,360
think they're gonna play better, but I think Sweden gets

838
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,480
it done and likely by two goals. So yeah, I

839
00:44:56,559 --> 00:45:00,360
like Sweden tonight minus one and a half US one

840
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,760
twenty four, but I do prefer them in regulation.

841
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,119
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, what other any other Olympic

842
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:10,480
sports you I like the snowboard racing, that's pretty yeah.

843
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 7: I mean, look, I'm a skier, right, so I do.

844
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:16,639
I do like that. The problem I have with the snowboard,

845
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,880
like the Big Air, is every jump looks the same

846
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,840
to me. It's like there's a ten twenty six eighty

847
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,840
four thirty twelve fifteen. Who's up next? Oh my god,

848
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:33,079
he did a twelve twenty three eighty four fifty six twelve. No,

849
00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:34,920
I mean, I mean you and I would just be

850
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:36,239
like they all look the same.

851
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: No, I mean the race they put five of them

852
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:40,639
together and they go down a.

853
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:44,519
Speaker 7: Truck snow cross. That's including snowcross. I like the skir

854
00:45:44,679 --> 00:45:47,199
to call it for all you people who are my age,

855
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,280
and remember the beautiful movie Hot Dog, where I had

856
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,119
sunny side up, sunny side down, and sunn east side

857
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,639
is way around. Uh, we prefer to call that the

858
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,880
Chinese downhill.

859
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:07,199
Speaker 1: Really, the the Red Bull does the they're on skates, which.

860
00:46:07,039 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 7: Is yea, oh that I want to do that so bad, dude.

861
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:12,159
Speaker 1: If they set one of.

862
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 7: Those up in Toronto, I would enter the over fifty

863
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,639
five year old decrepid.

864
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Section.

865
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 7: I wanted badees so bad, bro. But the snow cross

866
00:46:25,559 --> 00:46:29,320
is so fun. But it's tough to watch downhill skiing

867
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,639
or slollom skiing. Even as a skier. Everybody just looks

868
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:36,000
the same dude, and cross country skiing, I mean, how

869
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:38,840
boring is that? Just give the award to the Norwegians

870
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,400
and move on.

871
00:46:41,039 --> 00:46:43,599
Speaker 1: I hit my wall with skiing this year. I thought

872
00:46:43,639 --> 00:46:46,320
the exact same thing. I was like, they all kind

873
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,519
of look the same. I don't see a polarizing story.

874
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:51,840
I started watching the Moguls and I was like, hey,

875
00:46:53,559 --> 00:46:54,320
it's not grabbing my.

876
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 7: Well, at least the Moguls. At least with the Moguls,

877
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,480
it's not all exactly say but yeah, dude has a skier.

878
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:04,840
I mean I say this, you know all the time, Like,

879
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:08,039
as a person who's had sex once, I don't like

880
00:47:08,119 --> 00:47:10,159
to watch other people doing and I prefer to do

881
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,239
it myself. So I feel exactly the same way about skiing.

882
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,199
And I've had sex twice, I've I got two jords.

883
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,599
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, maybe like obstacles or like boulders.

884
00:47:24,199 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, grow shit at it. Everyone may just throw shit

885
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,440
at it, well, like dodge skiing.

886
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,679
Speaker 1: Snowballs kind of in the same realm. It's winter, so

887
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:37,719
you know, something like that. So what do you have

888
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,079
up at wager talk for today?

889
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,159
Speaker 7: I will have I haven't put it up yet, but

890
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:45,079
I will have won college basketball and one in NBA play.

891
00:47:46,119 --> 00:47:49,840
You know, Andy, I hit the skids slightly in college basketball,

892
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:54,559
and yet I'm on an eighteen and nine run. I

893
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,800
was on an eighteen and five runs, so I've lost

894
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,079
four in a row and I'm opening it change that tonight.

895
00:48:01,119 --> 00:48:03,320
I mean, these things happen still on an eighteen and

896
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,800
nine run. I'm a profit college back in the college

897
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,079
basketball season, and my NBA is doing great. Bro, I

898
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:14,119
went one on one last night. But yeah, I'm excited

899
00:48:14,159 --> 00:48:20,280
about both the basketball leagues right now. I'm really seeing basketball. Well.

900
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,320
So that's that, and other than that, we're taping the

901
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,039
best betting show ever late today Steve Merrill, myself and Joe.

902
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:31,320
The show should be up by two point thirty pm Easter.

903
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,079
And really appreciate you having me on, Andy. I got

904
00:48:34,519 --> 00:48:37,639
one more week. I think I'm leaving well West on

905
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:40,039
February twenty eighth, so hopefully Chris will get me in

906
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:42,199
the next week because I love doing the show with you.

907
00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:45,159
Speaker 1: Love it, man, I love it. I appreciate you. Thanks

908
00:48:45,199 --> 00:48:48,199
for coming on breaking down a lip hockey Lawrence the Press.

909
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,639
Thank you very much, brother, appreciate you. Have a good one.

910
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,519
Take care of all right. Yeah, we're gonna get to

911
00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:56,199
all around the world do some free picks. Free picks.

912
00:48:56,199 --> 00:48:58,599
Haven't been good that doing that well this week, so

913
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,119
tread lightly. Okay, lacrosse, here's what Dan and I are

914
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:04,519
gonna do with lacrosse moving forward. So what we do

915
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:07,199
is we put we put a client play in and

916
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,440
then Dan tries to give out a free play that

917
00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:11,920
is a different play. So we're only gonna give out

918
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,880
client plays for lacrosse moving forward, like we're rowing to

919
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,079
the last two days and free plays two to one

920
00:49:18,119 --> 00:49:20,920
on four percent plays for clients. So we're not gonna

921
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,159
talk about lacrosse unless it's a four percent play that's

922
00:49:24,199 --> 00:49:27,320
on this show. So that's how we'll address that moving forward. Okay,

923
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,880
today's free plays, we're gonna do the MAVs and the Lakers.

924
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,760
I'm gonna do a same game parlay. I'm gonna take

925
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,360
Lebron twenty plus points and Austin Reeves eighteen plus points.

926
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,559
You heard Joe talk about it. The MAVs have given

927
00:49:39,639 --> 00:49:41,159
up one hundred and twenty one hundred and thirty eight,

928
00:49:41,199 --> 00:49:43,320
one hundred and thirty five the last three games. Cooper

929
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,519
Flag is already out. Great chance for the Lakers to

930
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,840
get a win going into this game, and I think

931
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:51,280
with rest coming up for both guys they didn't play

932
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,159
the last game, I like both of them to have

933
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,199
good games tonight. College basketball that comes off the wager

934
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,119
Talk Free picks page. This is from Ben Burns. San

935
00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:02,800
Francisco mins eight and a half over Oregon State. The

936
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,079
Beavers are three and five on the road. They did

937
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:07,920
beat San Francisco at Oregon State earlier this season, but

938
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,159
San Francisco coming off their worst loss in the season.

939
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,920
This is a revenge and anger spot for San Francisco.

940
00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:17,320
And then I do need to give out a Darts

941
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,960
Premier League. This play starts in like fifteen minutes, so

942
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,800
if you want to get it live, I have a

943
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,920
client play that is up right now. I love the

944
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,079
client play. This one Littler and Humphries over nine and

945
00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:35,079
a half legs. These guys are so razor thin close

946
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,079
with talent and this is a great rivalry. And they

947
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,079
just played this exact style of format on February first

948
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:43,719
and they went eleven legs, So it's a slight lean.

949
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,039
This is not a huge play, but it's a little

950
00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:48,840
bit of sprinkle speak of darts. Myself and Yan we

951
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,840
will be on the winning in the Shadows YouTube channel

952
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:56,920

953
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,960
and Yon talk about darts and he doesn't even watch darts,

954
00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:01,760
