Speaker 1: Welcome to Wage to Talk today, the gold standard of
sports betting shows where he talked the talk and walk
the walk. It's Tuesday, massive, massive night of college basketball.
We're gonna also take a look at possibly some NBA
second half betting angles. We're gonna do wtf LFG and
we'll do a couple of free plays, including a big
dog I like in UFC. But Dan wtf LFG continues
to roll yesterday, so we're gonna get to that. But
give us the rundown, man. We are college basketball heavy today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the nature of the beast right now.
You know, NBA is still on the All Star break,
NHL and the Olympic break, which means college basketball wall
to wall for you guys. And we have three of
the best kappers to give it to you. Brian Power,
the star of the morning wager over on picks and parlays.
He's joining us to talk Michigan versus Perdue and UCLA
taking on Michigan State and Jesse Schulz coming on. He's
gonna of course tell you who are we fading in
some college basketball action. He's also got a great future
for you to place right now in NBA action you
like eight and a half to one, Well, you're gonna
want to stay tuned, because how can you cash in
on that? Jesse He's gonna let you know, and then
we're gonna shut things down with the pen himself. That's right.
Ralph Michael's coming on unc NC State and Georgia Kentucky.
Two plays coming for you in that one as well.
And as Andy said, we got free plays all along
the way. We're gonna get into some things that we
talked about yesterday, and we're gonna be taking your comments
all show long, so keep them coming Andy, before we
do WTFLFG. I got a lacrosse play for you here, Andy.
We have a new graphic that we'll be rolling out
here for you folks here on the show. Andy, your
tennis plays are in Absolute Wagon territory. That's right. Get
the vodka, Light it on fire, Absolute Vodka. If you
would like to sponsor the segment Absolute Wagon Andy Lang
plays right now? Why are we seeing in tennis so well?
Right now? Man and crush?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the doubles continue to hit two and one yesterday.
We've got a couple more up today. One of them
is the five dollars Tuesday play, but yes, it's it
is all about the doubles. It's at the beginn of
the year. I said, I think this is a gettable market,
and yeah, we are on an absolute wagon. I mean,
this is one of a twelve and five run now
in tennis, and what we have. What we have is
we're figuring out Mondays, Tuesdays and maybe late Wednesday nights.
That's when you pounce because that's when you're getting these
huge mismatches and that's what we're looking for. So moving
forward every week, we're gonna be heavy on tennis on Monday,
Tuesday and the Wednesday overnight and then probably done. I
don't really care about the championships when you got these
really good games moving you know, going forward. So let's
continue it. Dan, we got five dollars play that is up.
Speaker 2: In tennis.
Speaker 1: We got a five dollars UFC play that is up.
So we got two plays for ten bucks and it
is five dollars Tuesday, all cappers have a five dollars
play up and we're gonna Brian Jesse's ralphs by. I mean,
it's a fantastic day here, but let's make it to
and oh on WTFLFG this is a client play. We
told you when we give out lacrosse plays on here,
we're only going to do it unless they are client
plays and d and you like this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like this one quite a bit. It's
an ugly dog special for you here on Tuesday. You know,
that's how we love doing it. We're twenty four and
seventeen on the free plays here for you, But like
Andy said, this is for his clients as well. We're
taking a look at v M I getting the nine
and a half against Navy. A little service action that
we have there for you guys. This is just an
absolutely horrible spot for Navy. Navy. There's one on one
on the season. They just lost a tows and a
team who we've capped pretty decently this year. But the
spot for him here is on Saturday already, because this
is a midweek game. They're facing off against Penn State,
and Penn State is a team who just recently upset Princeton.
All eyes for the Navy midshipman will be on that
weekend game, not against the VMI team that they're eight
and zero against. Lifetime, they haven't played since twenty twenty three,
so it's been a little bit and vmi's program has
increasingly gotten better. They're oh and two this year, but
last year they were ten and four on the season. Also,
Navy in look ahead games against Penn State oh and
two against the spread the game that they play before
Penn State, So it's been a tough look ahead spot
for him. I think you know Navy, you saw them
let up seven goals to a team like Iona. Well,
Navy in the last two season to Andy has only
had two games that they have won by ten or
more goals. Both of those games were against that awful
Iona team. This is probably a just win and get
out of dodge game. Get ready for Penn State. Getting
nine and a half is great spot. I think this
is more like a four maybe five goal win tops
for Navy. Take the nine and a half with vm
I the dog might not be fully barking Andy, but
that back door is surely swinging in the win there
in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't need it to bark, just no, yeah, yeah,
we'll take a growl. Yeah, absolutely, all right, that's your
WTFLFG looking to move to twenty five and seventeen. Let's
get things rocking with college basketball with Brian Power, we
get the Peacock doubleheader. I didn't do this on purpose, Brian.
I happened to just put on the Produce sweatshirt and
I didn't even see that you're breaking down. But you
know what, let's embrace it. Uh screw Michigan. Yeah, I
said it. Detroit office, go go boiler Makers. So Brian,
how are you on Tuesday?
Speaker 2: I'm doing okay.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I see we have a
very uh we have a big ten theme here on
the scram The only one I didn't get the memo
that I was supposed to be I should have worn.
How fun would it have been if I would have
worn my Michigan attired then we all could.
Speaker 2: Kind of rocking like TCU colors today. You're giving me
TCU vibes.
Speaker 3: Maybe some case Lumberjack shirt. Of course I would never
I don't even know anything. I wouldn't know that if
you handed me an axe, I wouldn't know what to do.
But I would at least look good holding it, I suppose.
Speaker 2: So there we is true.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, some things are going good. I said it
would be. Look glad I wasn't on the show yesterday
because things were.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I had a very upsetting five percent loss on Sunday,
but I said it was gonna be a bounced back Monday.
It was a bounced back Monday. We hit the under
in Norfolk State in Maryland Eastern Shore. I hate when
sometimes I bet on games that aren't on TV and
the ESPN apps to zero zero zero, but I get
really worried why it's not saying final. The reason I
was worried is because I understayed up under by one
and a half points, so I was hoping there was
no garbage time score there at the end. But we
got it. Bounced back twelve and three last fifteen in
college basketball, number one All Basketball, NBA and college in
the month of February. So I guess I'm feeling pretty good.
To answer your question, how did that get there?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: What how did that happen? You wish I was that Jack.
I don't know how that got up there. BP, that's
my bet. I was trying put up the Michigan and
Wolverine graphic. Oh there, that was what I was trying,
but this one just kept coming up. I'm sorry, this
is this is the one that I wanted up there.
Michigan and Perdue. What do we think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Dan, you mentioned at the outset, it's all
about college basketball right now, and you know, look, how
good has this college basketball season been. I think it's
We talked a little bit about this on the morning
Wager Zeno and I rude. I think this has been
the best college basketball season and many many years. Second
straight night, heere, We've got a top ten matchup, this
one featuring the new number one team in the country, Michigan.
Who if you caught my appearance on the show last week, Andy,
I know you said screw Michigan a moment ago. I'll
butter up to the Detroit office here a little bit.
Last week on the show, I said Michigan was the
number one team in the country. I said I would
have him favored on a neutral against Arizona. And by god,
look what's happened over the last seven days. Arizona lost
two games at Michigan is the new number one. But
it's not an easy spot tonight for the Wolverines.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: They're at number seven. Perdue, They're coming boiler Makers coming
off a very impressive beatdown of Iowa at Iowa, boiler
Makers held the Hawk Gys to thirty seven and a
half percent shooting in the seventy eight fifty seven win
and cover as one and a half point road favorites
prior to that win and cover. If you recall Perdue
one at Nebraska, that game did end up going to overtime,
but remember Perdue led by as many as twenty two
points early in the second half of that one. Now, Michigan, look,
the superlatives are long, okay. They have twenty double digit wins,
thirteen wins by twenty or more, ten wins by thirty
or more. I think it would be a real shocker
if they added any of those totals tonight though in
West Lafayette.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: The Wolverine straight up record on the road is a
perfect eight. No, they're one of only four teams not
to lose a true road game this season, Saint Louis,
Saint John's, Miami, Ohio or the others. But what we
care about against the spread Michigan is two and six
ats in those eight true road games. Yes, it's a
short number here, but something to remembers. Last two games.
What have we seen from Michigan. They were down at
the half at Northwestern, then Saturday at home versus Ucla,
only up to going into the break before a monster
second half. More on Ucla, by the way, my second
breakdown here on the show coming up in just a minute.
But I think you guys my sense where I'm going,
least I hope you do. Earlier I mentioned Perdue had
the great start against Nebraska before having a hold on
for an overtime win. They've trailed at the half Perdue
just once in their last eight games. In fact, three
of the last four they've had a double digit lead
going to the break. With Michigan off a couple shaky starts,
I like Purdue in the first half here. You can
get plus one and a half at one pretty popular
sports book. Let me just make sure that's still available
here now that I'm telling people that it was available
during my notes when I did it, And yeah, it's
still there. So plus one and a half Purdue. We'll
take them first half here. I don't want to betting
it's Michigan full game, but I think Purdue keeps it
close for at least twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: So you saw and sweater and you just said, okay,
first half, Boiler Makers. That's that's the way to go.
Speaker 3: That's yes, yes, wet. I changed my whole as soon
as I saw them come on the screen and said
what we're gonna change. It's just based off I'd look
man Purdue, Like I said, Michigan, Look, it's hard to
win every true road game. They've had the shaky starts.
Not only were they trailing Northwestern guys, they weren't down
in that game by what as many sixteen seventeen early
in the second half before roaring back. Look, Michigan, can
you know, knock you out with a run with the
best of them? Obviously, Like I said, Michigan, they're my
number one team in the country. I don't want to
fade them full game, but at home I would expect
a strong start from the boiler Makers tonight.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, BP, you're all Michigan up here. You
feeling the same type of sentiment as far as the
Michigan State Spartans as they're taking on UCLA tonight. Much
bigger of a number here. You see the total there
as well. What are you thinking in this one, Ucla,
Michigan State? Is this also a first half player going
full game for this one?
Speaker 3: Mister p it is a first half play that's gonna
be the things show, so very good for team the update,
and I didn't even let you know. I was like, wait,
did I met? Did I slack you that? Anyway, I
just said with that Michigan Ucla game this past Saturday,
Ucla was only down by two going at a halftime
in ann Arbor.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for Bruins fans, their team ended up losing that
game by thirty outscored forty six to eighteen in the
second half. Of course, that led to a little Mick
Cronin ripping on his team, which he always does after
a bad performance. Quote, we were awful in the second half.
We were god awful. We miss eight unguarded threes. If
you're going to come in here, you gotta score. We
have some guys who won't pass the ball. That is frustrating.
The worst second half defensive field goal percentage of my
career in twenty three years, they referring to Michigan were
eighteen for twenty three shot seventy eight point three percent
worst of my career, and I don't have to look
it up. And then, of course Mick was sure to add,
I could promise you that It's not like I forgot
how to coach defense. So as much as I don't
really care for chron, I do think he's gonna have
this UCLA team ready to go tonight in East Lansing,
where Michigan State is also looking to recover from a
bad loss on Friday. If you guys recall Sparty got
beat ninety two to seventy one at Wisconsin. Tom Izzo
coach teams usually very good defensively. I shouldn't have to
tell you that this one is no exception. However, you know,
and then their number seven at Ken Palm and defensive
ratings s party is. But they just let Wisconsin shoot
forty three percent from three point range on Friday. Michigan
State just shoots thirty percent themselves from behind the ark.
You're not gonna win many games with that kind of
three point disparity, obviously. So you got both teams coming
off losses. What are we gonna do? Yeah, we're gonna
go to the first half UCLA plus four and a half,
Shoperaud he might be able to find a plus five.
Michigan State guys has been a pretty awful first half
team as of late, not just against Wisconsin. But they've
actually been behind at the break each of their last
five games. Three of those five games they trailed by
double digits after twenty minutes. Overall, Sparti just two and
three straight up. It's last five games, and they needed
overtime for both wins, one of them at Sorry Rutgers,
who they trailed by nine at the break. So this
is a team Michigan State that has been digging themselves
some early holes. And the last time Michigan State you
have to go back to January twenty fourth to find
the last time Michigan State won a game in regulation.
That's nearly a month ago. Meanwhile, yeah, they get killed
by Michigan on Saturday, but prior to that, UCLA won
seven of nine. One of those losses was an overtime.
Sky Clark is back. He's an excellent defender for the Bruins.
And one final point. Guys, both of these teams play slow.
Michigan State two hundred and sixty fifth in justin tempo,
UCLA three hundred and tenth, So I think points are
likely to be a premium early. Let's take the points
with UCLA in the first half.
Speaker 2: Brian first half power, I'm dropping some knowledge. Therefore you BP,
we have some questions here in the chat regarding some
Chatampions League action. Circle back to that. We heard what
you like on the hardwood, find out what you like
on the pitch here for the folks here in the
live chat. But first, five dollars Tuesday? Brother, what do
you got rocking? What other specials do you have going?
And also remind people about the show that everyone needs
to be watching every morning or afternoon depending on when
you guys want to post it. But the Morning Wager?
What does the star of the Morning Wager have rocket
and why should people check it out? BP?
Speaker 3: Shots fired for production there. Okay, you threw a lot
of me, Dana. The first thing up is what do
I have going for five dollars Tuesday? Well, it's actually
a Champions League play as a matter of fact, and
the play is for Wednesdays, so you guys have all
day to get this, but at midnight Pacific time, the
deal's gonna go away. Five dollars you can get my
top Champions League play this week. With all the success
I've been happening in basketball this month, I mentioned when
I first came on twenty one and six run combined
NBA in college twelve and three last fifteen in college,
number one in soccer the last twenty two months net
units here at Wager Talk. So you're gonna want to
get this four percent Champions League play. Yes, it is
a four percent Champions League play. Just five dollars. I
have a free play.
Speaker 2: I'll give you.
Speaker 3: Guys it a minute for today on the pitch. I
also have two college basketball plays tonight. You can get
them for just twenty nine dollars. So we're seeing it
well in college. Bounced back last night. So WT Dot Buzz,
Slash VP, and Yes, the Morning Wager available every Monday
through Friday on both the Wager Talk and Picks and
Parlays YouTube channels. Today's show is quite good, I thought, Dan,
I don't know if you would agree. We got it
over to you. We got it over to you early enough,
I guess. But we covered a litany of issues. Mark
Zeno and I not only give three free plays, but
we give our take on skiing as well.
Speaker 2: I just came back and I also a great hot
take on Floyd Mayweather taking on Mike Tyson. The fight
that nobody asked yet is happening. So yes, there are
more reasons than ever to check out the morning wagering guys,
A big way to say thanks to them obviously. If
you haven't liked to subscribe to wager Talk here, we'd
love you to do that. But also check out the
sister channel Picks and Parlays to hit them with the
like and a little subscribe over there trying to grow
over there as well. So big thanks to everyone who's
tuning in BP real Quick Champions League is this is
a actually we enjoy when people are giving some soccer plays.
I've done the same here on the show. So usually
your cohort Mark Zeno would be ripping you saying nobody cares,
why are you giving a soccer play? It is encouraged
here in wager Talk today, especially during quiet time. What
do you got in Champs League action? Some good games
here today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the number actually has moved against me here
since I gave this out. It's a free plays on
my page again WT dot bus. I like Real Madrid.
It's a huge revenge spot obviously against Benfica. It was
a wild finish that got Benfica into the knockout stage
in bobs back look. Real Madrid guys closed minus one
forty their last trip here, and now we're getting a
plus money. I think for me it's all about price.
It's more about price than it is the revenge. You
you don't know why. It's blindly better revenge angle, but
it was a crazy finish the last time these teams
took these last time these teams met on the pitch,
So I like Real Madrid to take this first leg
on the three way line. I would bet him at
plus money.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, if you want a little extra even plus money,
you could maybe take them and add in that over
two and a half. I expect there to be goals
in that match as well, I mean.
Speaker 3: The last time yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a little bit square as there was
six last time. But but yeah, it feels like if
it ain't broke, don't fix it. That over might be
worth a look as well. There's a little Champions League
action for you. BP. Always a pleasure chatting with you.
While you and I were talking and he was doing
some research for the chat here because folks had some consternation.
What is a boiler? What is a maker? Andy? You
did the research for the folks. What did we learn?
Speaker 1: So I knew this but this is the actual definition, Brian.
A boiler maker is a simple beer cocktail consisting of
a shot of whiskey and a glass of beer, traditionally
served as a shot and a beer, where the shot
is taken first, followed by sipping the beer as a chaser.
It can also be made by dropping the shot glass
into the beer, though this is less common and requires care.
Thank you, AI, so I ask you, Brian, I love it. It
requires care. Yeah, like you don't throw it across the
room together. So, Brian, are you a shot then the
beer chaser? Or are you a whiskey into the beer
kind of guy? It says a lot.
Speaker 3: I want to discriminate which kind of order I go.
I'f be honest with you. Whichever order you added to me,
I'm gonna do it. I don't smoke crack, though some
allegations being made in the chat that's going on there. Yeah,
I guess that was in response to wanting to face Michigan. Look,
maybe maybe that's what it takes to fade Michigan. I
don't know. Put it on a napkin, let it cool off,
I guess, but look, no, in all seriousness, guys, shot
beer I'll do whatever and whatever you give me.
Speaker 2: The dropping, the dropping into the liquid, that's like I
don't know, like that was like old like I haven't
I'll be honest, I haven't done a bomb of any
kind of point sometime like a like a ya.
Speaker 1: Bomb while a little little.
Speaker 2: Anymore? Yeah, shot a yeager is there's there's an incredible
like like october Fest. That's that's here in my my
my hometown that I moved back to, and actually it
was rated USA today best Octoberfest celebration outside of Germany,
like like ten years running something like that. They have
yeager people that walk around with like syringes that they'll spray.
So that's that's when I get my jaeger intake for
for the decade is during october Fest the.
Speaker 3: Old Irish car bomb reference.
Speaker 2: Yeah you can't sign anyone. Oh you can't say it anymore? Man.
Speaker 3: What happens if I went so if I went to
the bartender and said I'd like, they would like beat
me or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, they might. Okay, you gotta be careful.
Speaker 3: Good thing to jump down there?
Speaker 2: All right, you got your back BP BP always a pleasure,
my man. Thank you all right, good luck, Brian Brian
Power wt Dot buzz Backslash BP. Kevin Clancy on Twitter.
Not a fan of the lacrosse place. That's okay, Kevin,
that's okay. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Four and two for clients? Last week? My bank rolls up. So,
uh listen, Kevin, if you figured out a fade wagon,
by all means, go right now, keep them coming, keep
them coming. Yeah yeah, so shout out to Kevin. Uh,
let's see yeah, I uh oh, yeah, Andrew, don't don't
put the word Irish before it if you're an a
round of unless if you're around Irish people, do not
refer to it as an Irish car bomb. I learned
that from my Irish friends a long time ago. That
is a great way to get into a fight. Yeah yeah, yeah,
So uh listen, Ty, you can.
Speaker 2: No one, Kevin Dolan.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's just gonna be repercussions if you say the
wrong person. So yeah, you do whatever you what? So
all right, well, let's speaking of fades. Yeah, let's bring
in Jesse and Jesse just always fading. So we got
to start Jesse with boiler maker. Are you a shot?
And then beer or shot? In the beer. Definitely in
the beer. But I guess that's Jagermeister. That's a Yagger bomb.
I'm Jaeger bomb, sack bomb, vegas bomb. Yeah, yeah, all
those bombs. So I get yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2: See, Ellie, they got the they got the city wide
special where they'll basically give you a PBR and a
shot and it would be shot and then yet you
have the beer. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so suggest you get you get just
a fade trained here. You have teams lining up to
fade here, so just yeah, cher chow, let's go, man.
Speaker 5: Before we get started, Andy, before we get started, Yes,
ask me how I've been doing on this segment recently?
Speaker 1: Well, Jesse, how have you been doing on this segment recently?
Speaker 2: Recently?
Speaker 5: Well? I was late for work today, Andy, because I
had to go back and look at all the episodes
for the past month. And it turns out we're eleven
and oh on the weekly Wager Talk fade segment the
last four weeks, and is pretty freaking good.
Speaker 1: Wagon alert, absolutely, wagon alert.
Speaker 5: And let me remind you. Let me remind you that
one of those was Kenneth Walker to win the MVP,
and I had a people calling me, you know, say,
suggesting that I was smoking baths, salts and such things.
I was happy to see them saying that about Brian Power.
I thought I was the only one.
Speaker 2: At least they don't discriminate Jesse equal opportunity.
Speaker 5: I consider that great good luck when they say that
about me.
Speaker 1: Well, let's what is it with the chat and the
hardcore drug use?
Speaker 2: My god?
Speaker 1: Yeah, salts and crack?
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Jesse, let's start with Baylor.
Speaker 1: Why are we fading this team?
Speaker 5: Well, an interesting situation here. We're fading Baylor despite the
fact that Baylor is probably the better team. They come
in as a favorite, they were a four point favorite.
But money is coming in on Kansas State. Why might
you ask? This Kansas State team is sitting tied for
dead last in the Big twelve, but they just fired
their head coach, Jerome Tang and in kind of controversial circumstances,
he called out his team. He said, I'm embarrassed. These
guys aren't fit to wear the uniform and most of
them won't be back next year, and shortly thereafter he
was fired. So do we expect a bounce of positive
energy after firing a coach like we see so often
betting on sports. I'm not here to tell you that
it was Jerome Tang's fault. I think there was clearly
a disconnect between the players and the coach, and if
you ask me whose side I'm on, I'm on Jerome
Tang's side. I think it was probably more a problem
with the players than the coach. That said, this is
an opportunity for those players, who I still believe are
talented players to show what they've got to their new
bench boss, Matthew Driscoll, a guy that I'm not that
familiar with, but I look at his resume sixteen years
with North Florida, the winningest coach in the ASUN Conference,
and I can tell you that I didn't watch a
single one of those games, but with four decades of
coaching experience, expect him to be all fired up for
this opportunity. I expect the players to want to make
a big impression. This is their opportunity to prove that
it wasn't them that was the problem, and if they
failed to do so, everybody's going to be looking at
them saying it was you guys that were the problem. Baylor.
They've got their own issues They're just two and five
on the road. They've had a disappointing season. They've had
some big games, some bad games. They've been rather inconsistent.
But I think the motivation angle here after firing the coach,
I gotta go with the home dog and let's do
it for the first half plus one and a half.
Kansas State in the first half.
Speaker 1: When I heard when I heard him say that quote,
I was like, he's not talking about his team, Like,
you don't say that about your team, do you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Apparently you do.
Speaker 1: That was wild. And then Kansas State wanting to fire
him and not pay him was a nice wrinkle here.
So another first half, bet on that and you got
two more teams we're gonna fade. So the floor is yours.
Who's two more teams to be on the lookout for.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna fade two teams that are playing each other, Andy,
and you're probably thinking to yourself, how the hell are
you gonna do that? Well, we're gonna look at the
total because Iowa is playing Nebraska. They're hosting Nebraska, and
the total is one thirty nine and a half. I
think that is way too high for a game between
the number one and number two ranked scoring defenses in
the Big Ten Iowa. Did you know, Andy that Iowa
ranked dead last in the conference allowing almost eighty points
per game last year, and now they're first in the
conference allowing just sixty four point nine points per game
this year. Nebraska, they ranked eleventh in the Big Ten
last year, giving up seventy three points per game, and
they're allowing just sixty six points per game this year,
And that might explain why this number sits at one
thirty nine and a half. I think expecting the top
two defensive teams in the conference to combine for one
hundred and forty points is a little unrealistic. I'd be
surprised if either of these teams gets to seventy points.
And just a little bit more information on this game.
Iowa obviously playing a different style of basketball under new
head coach Ben McCollum. They rank three hundred and sixty
second in the nation in pace of play, averaging just
sixty five possessions per game. There's only three hundred and
sixty five Division One teams. Only three of those teams
play slower than the Iowa Hawkeys. Playing a slow pace
like that with a willing participant in Nebraska that is
content to play that style. Like I said, this total
is too high. We're going under one thirty nine and
a half.
Speaker 1: Andy, I was wondering how you were going to lame
the plane on that one fading two teams that were
But that makes makes perfect sense, absolutely, So I love
your future here in NBA. We're gonna get to that
in a second. But it is five dollars Tuesday. Tell
over what you have up at wager talk.
Speaker 5: Well, Andy, it would probably not surprise you too much
to learn that I'm hitting seventy seven percent with my
money line sides in twenty twenty six. I am number
one at wager Talk with money line side Since twenty
twenty two, I'm up one hundred and seventy four units
with all my sides on the money line in all sports.
And I have a money line play in college basketball today.
Some people say that that's a silly thing to do,
but take a look at my numbers you might think otherwise.
So you can get that for just five bucks. I
also have a couple more plays. You can get the
entire three pack for twenty nine bucks. That's probably even
a better deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jesse, that's also a money line. I feel like
if this was like twenty years ago, Jesse, you'd have
to give yourself like a horribly corny nick nickname with
money line involved in it.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, there are there's your there's your assignment. Chat
it give us. If this was twenty years ago, what
would Jesse's nickname be for specializing in money lines? So
give me a good one. Uh, talk to me about
this future here it's plus eight fifty and I I
agree with you on the price. It seems a little
bit wide. So who are we looking at here?
Speaker 5: We're gonna look at the San Antonio Spurs plus eight
point fifty to win the Western Conference. Of course, the
Oklahoma City Thunder are the favorite, and they sit in
first place, three games up on the Spurs. And you
know me, Andy, I just love fading teams. So why
do we want to fade Oklahoma City? Well, they're banged up.
SGA's got that abdominal issue. They've got a few other
starters that are banged up up. Sure they'll all be back.
I'm sure that it's gonna be just fine. But this
team just doesn't quite look as dominant as it did
last year and even last year. I know that there's
this air of an invincibility with the Oklahoma City Thunder,
but I'm a little bit skeptical, you know. I look
at this team. Two years ago, they lost in six
games to a Dallas Mavericks team that they were heavily
favored against. And then last year. I don't know if
you guys remember Game four of the NBA Finals, Scott
Foster a little bit of controversy. They were so close
to going down three to one in the finals. No
team ever coming back or sorry, I think Lebron did that,
even though I'd try to forget about that anyways. I
don't think that Oklahoma City is invincible. I think the
Spurs are younger, I think they've got the depth. I
was very impressed with their record ten and four without
Wemben Yama this season. I just don't see any reason
why the Spurs can't catch Oklahoma City and win the
Western Conference.
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
Speaker 1: The Spurs just they're not intimidated by this Thunder team
even when at full strength. And Wemby is just to
I mean, he's a nightmare for anybody, but he just
he causes a lot of problems. To that front court.
So I'm with you at plus eight fifty there, So
thank you for joining us Moneyline Master. No, in all serious,
this congratulations on that percentage on money Line is very
very impressive, and Jesse's got five dollars. Play up, Jesse.
Good luck to you, man, and let's keep hitting those fades.
Speaker 5: See you guys next week.
Speaker 2: Thanks Jesse, appreciate it. Yeah, eleven and Zer run on
the free play fades for you here, folks. I mean,
if that's not worth the like and if you haven't
subscribed already, I don't know what is Jesse coming on
here every week and taking the abuse you give him
in the chat and still providing you with winners. Come on, guys,
hit that like button.
Speaker 1: So Dan, I was watching curling this morning, that's my
morning routine. I have curling on, and the US women's
team like made a shot that apparently was really good,
and like the announcers were like, oh, what a shot,
and I was like wow, And then I was like,
why am I reacting that way? I have no idea
if that was a good shot or not, but.
Speaker 2: It looked everyone else is sharing. You just get caught
up in the moment. Andy you've been You've been dialed
in Like every Winter Olympics, I get pumped up. I
genuinely enjoy watching curling. So you've been dialed in like
I have watching this. So I'm sure you saw the
controversy with the Canadian team when they were playing against
Sweden and the women's team had the same issue. Where
as they're on their throw which you can only you know,
have your hand on the handle and once you released,
you saw the little push forward. Uh do you have
a take here on the curling controversy, because my big
takeaway is more just like it seems like it didn't matter, like, yeah, okay,
they got caught red handed, and you know, it wasn't
like any crazy infractions came through. It wasn't like there
was a slap on the wrist. Even so, any of
your thoughts on this Canadian contra All Canadians were always
supposed to be nice, well mannered. The dude was dropping
f bombs at the suites. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Uh, well, I here's my take. I don't know
the rules, and this is what I love about the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Look, right, though.
Speaker 1: Every four years we are experts in figure skating, in
curling in in bob sledding like, oh, that wasn't a
good start, uh, and then on the flip on the
flip side every four years. I am a master at
judging floor routines in gymnastics. I can automatically tell what
the score should be.
Speaker 2: So I I I.
Speaker 1: Defer to the governing body what was it an infraction?
Was it not? Because if it wasn't infraction, then pedalize them,
dq them, take away points whatever the make them. I
don't know, like put grease on the stones. I don't
know what the I don't know what the what's the penalty?
Speaker 2: First it was it was I will say it was.
It was smart by the opponent because they were the
ones who basically entrapped them, like they knew that this
was something the Canadians had been doing, and they said,
you know what, the reason why they get away with
it is because of the camera angles. So the Swede said,
for our camera angle, we're gonna make sure that somebody
is set up perfectly that we can catch them doing it.
And I guess that's probably how they were able to
get away with it, because it wasn't an official angle.
It wasn't something that they're typically grading on. It wasn't
typically something that they're typically scoring on. So andy, it
seems to me that it is more a you can't
do it in good faith, then then you know you're
you're gonna be dqued for it is what is what
it seemed from my vast understanding of curling.
Speaker 1: I I I I don't know, Like I know the
rules of a lot of sports. That is one that
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know, if you weren't guilty, you don't get that
heated for the Canadian being like fu, I didn't do
it f and once you know SMD all that good stuff,
I will.
Speaker 1: I will, I will say this, if another team has
gone out of their way to set up a special
camera to catch.
Speaker 2: You doing it, it's probably documented.
Speaker 1: It's not a first time offense. They've probably been doing
it for quite a while. And I guess the other
thing is, I don't know. The reaction was was pretty
like pretty violent. Yeah, So an extreme reaction like that
kind of like tells me that there's some bad blood there,
which is great. And I think they d I think
they dropped the ball or dropped the stone there by
not going more into it, you know, and why why
why isn't there a one on one grudge match plan?
And maybe maybe this could be Netflix's Miss Stone Off. Yeah,
sne we got, we got Floyd Weather, Floyd Mayweather versus Tyson.
I don't know if you saw this, did you see
Gina Carano is now going to fight Ronda Rowsy on
a network.
Speaker 2: Having having the chick from Mandalorian that got canceled and
now she's fighting against Rowsey. And and Jake Paul is
the one promoting it. Like I saw it come across
my ESPN ticker and I was like, that can't be real,
can it? And Andy believe it or not? Corono versus
or Serrano excuse me going up against Rowsey. It's it's
gonna be a thing. And guess what, Andy, you and
I are probably gonna.
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna watch it. Yes, I'm probably gonna watch it.
So Dan disappear and I don't know if his internet
just went out. So let's bring on Ralph here, Ralph, Hey,
it's the pen.
Speaker 4: It's Irish car bombs crow just car battling under Jake Paul.
So you know, it's so funny. Story. My son went
to Westlake High School between Jake and his brother. So
he was the year between the two, so he he
knew him both. And I said, well, why couldn't you
get hired by one.
Speaker 2: Of them to help him do some shit?
Speaker 1: So no sense luck, honest question, Ralph. Were they What
were they like back then? Because I'm amazed at how
good of athlete eats they are, Like the one that's
in WWE is incredible, Like he's a like.
Speaker 2: He's actually a really good at like wrestler. He's a
good show many like fifth heel roll. Were they like that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Jake became famous because of vines. He
would like skateboard off roofs and things like that, so
he was crazy. They were both football players, Yes they
worked out, but you know they weren't that like that
where they were like all state football players. But they've
always had the wild side and the vines is how
they started with. He was one of the top Vine moneymakers,
you know, doing absolute crazy things and where it's gotten them.
Speaker 1: So I remember I remember the vines because when Vine
went away, it was like, oh, that's the end of
the Paul brothers, and no, that was the beginning of
the Ball brothers actually, so wow, that's uh, that's really interesting.
I the the Jake, the Jacob Logan, Paul thing is
really amazed. I never had a million years would he
guessed they would they would have become this big. But
kudos to them, man, kudos to them. So all right, Ralph,
we got some college basketball games here. You got the
ESPN doubleheader between North Carolina and NC State. Let's got
Georgia versus Kentucky. We're gonna start with North Carolina and
see State here six and a half points spread over
under one fifty eight and a half. What's your take
on this game?
Speaker 4: You know, I want to make a complaint first to
both of you guys. I thought I had the patent
on first half plays here on Way to Talk today.
Now everyone's oh, Ralph's having another first half play. So
for us allow all these people to start using first halves,
I would like to call a meeting and see if
we can if if we can maybe.
Speaker 2: Grease their stones as well. They'll send you to send
you a nickel every time. We'll have a nickel tax
if someone's given a first half play, and we'll make
sure it's sent and we'll put it into a slush
fund for pens that we can buy for viewers. How
does that sound, Ralph? That is awesome.
Speaker 4: I appreciate very much. Well, let's look at uh let's
look at North Carolina and NC State. You know, as
I always do, I always want to start this show
breaking down their season to date work both overall and
in the conference, just to get an idea if we
think this line is right or wrong based on current performance. Well,
North Carolina State eighteen and eight versus the number forty schedule,
and in the ACC they're nine and four versus the
sixteenth schedule, so they've played a week conference schedule. North
Carolina a little weaker schedule, but they're twenty and five
straight up, and they're eight and four versus the number
fourteen schedule in ACC action in conference play, North Carolina
the number two offense, number ten defense. NC State ranks
number five and number seven. The important thing to note,
and this is pretty impressive. North Carolina beat Pittsburgh seventy
nine to sixty five. Is a eleve and a half
point home favorite. They were without Khalip Wilson and Henry
Vsar and listen to these two players. They've combined for
thirty six point two points per game, eighteen point four
rebounds per game, and four point seven assists per game.
So you're without your most productive two players, yet you
still cover as a double digit favorite. That's to be remembered.
The problem now is Khalib Wilson, number one score, number
one rebounder, and number two on assists. He is out
now for a period of time. I'm not sure if
they ruled him out for the whole season or just that.
And Henry may show up back today, so they may
only be without one player. When we look at North Carolina,
they're ten and five ats at home, but only three
and six against the spread away from Chapel Hill. As
a dog, they've been a dog six times. They're three
and ozho is a one and a half point dog.
They're ozero and three as a bigger dog, which they
fall into this category. NC State is coming off back
to back losses. They got mauled by Louisville one hundred
and eighteen to seventy seven, and then they lost to
Miami of Florida by one. I had NC State in
a money line parlay. They led that game by seven
points with one minute and seven seconds to go, and
they allowed Miami of Florida to score eight straight points
to finish that game and a win by one. But
at least with NC State. Now you know this is
a rivalry where they rarely have the better acc record,
they really can make a statement in this game. NC
State has failed to cover four straight and they're one
in five awful loss again their awful loss at Miami
with the only cover as an away dog. The matchup
that sticks out to me in this game is NC
State is very good against a poor rebounding team, but
when they are facing a team that averages, that is
a good rebounding team, meaning they average more than four
rebounds more than they allow their plus four difth on
the season, They're only one and eleven against the spread,
so I don't want to back NC State. I think
North Carolinas go through a bit of transition here against
NC State. Then they have Syracuse on deck without their
best player. So I'm going to look at the total
and I am going to use full game total on this.
You know, I look at kem Palm and I love
looking at their pace rankings. We have two teams here
that do like to press the pace. NC State and
North Carolina are number forty six and number sixty six
in tempo, but on defense they really slow their opponents down.
Their defensive tempo ranks number three point fifteen and number
two seventy six. NC State is a top fifty team
in a number of assists they have per game based
on their number of shots. They don't turn the ball
over their number twelve, and they don't force defensive turnovers
their number three hundred and fourteen. NC State also a
very good team, not turning the ball over their number
thirteen in the country, and when they face a team
that averages over sixteen assists per game, they're zero to
five over under. When I look at North Carolina now,
in their last few games, they've really slowed the tempo down.
Their average temple grade from December through last week was
about seventy two per game. Their last couple games against
Duke and then the last game without their best player,
their temple grade was number sixty five, a significant slowdown.
I expect this game to go under, yes, and in
state rivalry, yes, It's the only meeting this season between
these two.
Speaker 2: Give me under one.
Speaker 4: Fifty eight and a half between the tar Heels and Wolfpack.
Speaker 2: Under says our man, Ralph the Penn Michaels and Ralph.
After all that, him and Han, you give out a
full game play, so you better in this Georgia and
Kentucky game have a first half play or else I'm
gonna make you pay us a nickel here, Ralph, But
before we talk that game, brother, five dollars. Tuesday a
great time for folks to try out some handicappers. What
do you have locked and loaded over at your pagewt
dot buzzbackslash RM.
Speaker 4: Well again, full disclosure, I did lose a five percent
college basketball play last night, lost it by a hoop.
I was seven and one on five percents this season. Now,
of course seven and two still seventy seven percent, but
number one at wager talking college basketball. The last thirty
days my current running college hoops thirty six and eighteen,
they had a four sixty seven percent, and my college
basketball best spets those are four percent five percent top
rated plays. Even with the loss last night, twenty nine
and thirteen sixty nine percent. Hey, and congratulations to Lonnie Smith.
He bought it down to three and a half, so
he got a winner. I'm happy to hear that for him.
Speaker 2: Love to see it. And also, folks, one thing I
saw I comment over on the best betting show ever,
The Daily Show there with Prez that was just regarding
you know, folks, if you know when you're you're losing
a five percent play or anything like that. One thing
that I would just like to say is when we're
talking about the rating system on these ways you talk plays, Ralph,
and you can obviously correct me if I'm wrong anywhere
from one to five percent. So, guys, when you're thinking
about these five percent plays, yes they're the strongest rated
plays for our cappers, but it's only one percent more
of your bank role than what you would consider your
four percent play. So you know, a lot of times
we see people who get the the flex passes who
will just bounce from five percent to five percenter, And
that's your prerogative to do so, folks, but I would
always recommend that more so than what the play is rated,
read the description, Read what the handicapper is breaking down
how they arrived at the play, and if it's something
that you strongly agree with, then maybe it becomes a
five percent play for you as well. But Ralph, real
quick before we do, you know, this Georgia and Kentucky game.
Just talk a little bit about the rating system and
reminding people, hey, five percent doesn't mean pull off the
rubber band and go crazy with your bankroll. The number
one thing that we have to remind folks is bankroll management.
Talent them out to anything that we're doing here on
the show.
Speaker 4: Listen, there's people that have done five percent runs and
have gone great. But you know, I think that wager
Talk wager Talk's customers are an elite level of customer.
They realize that if a guy is a five percent,
he's doing well. The odds are the five percent's going
to be better. If a guy's on a horrible losing
streak and throws up a five percent, you know, it's
for you to decide if you want to buy that
play or not. But basically, Dan, I've always said this.
You know, I rate my plays three, four and fives.
There are occasions if I have a prop or something,
it may be a one percent, or if it's a
standalone game and I'm right in between, I use it
as a two percent. But my general rule is this,
if I have three plays that are rated three percent,
four percent, and five percent, and go two and one,
you should one hundred percent make money. Even if you
win two three percent your plus six units and you
lose a five percent and your minus five and a half,
you may only be winning a half a unit. But
the key is this your bankroll management. If you're betting
traditional plays and you go two and one, make sure
you're showing yourself a profit because to hit sixty seven
percent not make money, that's an issue that you have
and should be corrected.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to Rouse's point there, this is why you
know things that any and I do. We're kind of
flat unit betters as opposed to different sports. You know,
maybe you'll rise up here and there, but that's the
way that's always worked for me for my bank role
is being a flat unit and maybe raising a half
or a full percentage point depending on you know, how
strongly I feel about that play, but always staying around
that same around two two and a half unit betting size.
That's how I do it, guys. That's that's just you know,
how it works for me and my bankroll. So great
stuff here. This is the kind of stuff we love
informing you guys on how to bet, not just what
to bet, but that being said Ralph. Big game Kentucky
taking on Georgia. Kentucky laying the seven and a half
at home here a much higher total than any of
these other games that we've talked about thus far, Ralph,
So how are you looking to bet this one?
Speaker 4: Well, let's look at the team season to date. Georgia
seventeen and eight, Kentucky seventeen and eight. So let's look
at the schedules and see which one's played a tougher schedule. Well,
George's played the number sixty six schedule. That's damn week.
Speaker 2: They played the.
Speaker 4: Number three hundred and thirty six non conference schedule. Kentucky
has played that number seven toughest schedule in the country.
So right there, that has to be leaning with Kentucky.
If you have the exact same record and one team's
played the number six versus the sixty six, and you're
at home with a two and a half or three
point home edge, I think that team should.
Speaker 2: Likely be a little big of a favorite.
Speaker 4: In acc action, excuse me sec action, Georgia five and
seven versus the number six schedule, Kentucky eight and four,
three wins better, and they played the number two toughest
schedule that actually thinking Kentucky should be even a little
bigger favorite. But when we look at Georgia, three of
their losses again, they're seventeen and eight. Three of their
losses in overtime, so they easily could be twenty and
five or at least, you know, nineteen and six if
they would have won couple of those overtime games. Offense
and defense in conference action, Georgia number eleven and number twelve,
Kentucky number eight and number seven. Kentucky has been healthy.
They're missing two guys that made nine starts, but those
were early in the year. Their recent performance, you know,
since they lost to Alabama and Missouri early in January.
You know, they've only lost two games that was ad
Vanderbilt and at Florida. So they're playing well at home
though when they've laid the big numbers, they're only eight
and seven against the spread, but they have covered four
straight overall. Georgia has back to back losses to Florida,
which they lost by twenty at home. They go to Oklahoma,
they lose by sixteen on the road. Well, how can
you look at a team that's playing that poorly. Well,
they're top player Jermaine Wilkinson missed both the Florida and
Oklahoma game. He started every game up to that point,
and he will be playing tonight, So we expect Georgia
to have an uptick over their last few days. Georgia
is only five and ten since mid December against the spread,
but they have gone three and three on the road.
This total is one sixty one and a half, and
Georgia has a pretty clean split when you're looking at this. Yes,
when Georgia has a total under one sixty one, they've
gone six and three against the spread. When they're playing
a very good offensive team and we have a total
higher than one sixty one, they are only five and
eleven ats. So while my numbers say Kentucky, while Georgia
has struggled again without their best player for the last
two games, what am I going to do for a
best bet? Well, I don't want Dan yelling at me again,
so I will go first half. Now, I am not
gonna go first half Kentucky. Listen to somebody splits guys.
Kentucky is a horrible team starting off the first half.
Georgia has been very good full game versus first half.
Georgia ats as a dog full game two and five
first half, six and one against the spread, Georgia as
an away dog two and three ats full game five
and oh first half. The same not only holds true
even stronger for Kentucky Kentucky twelve and thirteen against the spread,
but only five and twenty in the first half as
a home favorite Kentucky seven and seven against the spread,
but four and ten in the first half, and versus
good shooting teams Kentucky ten and eight against the spread
three and fifteen against the spread first half. I like
Kentucky full game best bet for the show the Georgia
Bulldogs to cover the first twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: I like it. Ralph Michaels wt dot buzz backslash r
M and Ralph. As you were waiting in the wings,
you did hear our discussion over the boiler Makers shot
versus beer or dropping it in. I know you're a
miller lite man. When you're pairing that with a shot,
you ever do any bombs, Ralph or you are shot
and then sip.
Speaker 4: Oh, Andy, I can't remember I've done shots, but a
boiler Maker we used to do them, and you know
I grew up in Cleveland, traditional German, so a lot
of beer, a lot of whiskey.
Speaker 2: We would drop them in and do it.
Speaker 4: And then then we changed from caw from the bombs
to uh, what's the one that you like? The shot
on fire and drop it in?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, blaming doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: So we got out of stage for a couple of
years there where we were doing flaming Doctor Peppers and
then one of our friends burned his mouth, so we
stopped doing that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, take once to realize why Yeah, yeah one time. Yeah,
the flaming shot I never quite got. Ralph always a
pleasure man. Best of luck, keep that college basketball run going.
We'll see you next time. Man. Thank thanks, guys, appreciate it. Yeah,
that's a hell of a run. Rauhe it's on. You
can check him out WT do buzz backslash r m Andy.
We still have plenty to go. We're nearing an hour
here on the show. So what do you want to do?
You want to talk about our Olympic games yesterday? You
want to give some folks some free plays real quick?
Speaker 1: Uh, let's pull up the let's pull up from the
from the comment section. Some Olympic events while we're doing that.
Real quick Auto racing, Formula one did some testing. It
looks like I can't tell too much from from testing.
I will say Max at plus two twenty five to
win the championship is not too bad. They still have
George Russell as a as a favorite. But the Ferrari
has looked good, Mercedes has looked good. I think Max
has looked pretty good. McLaren's ahead of schedule, so Formula
One shaping up to be good. We got another pack
racing NASCAR race. I'd be careful with the Chevys. They
have the new they have the new front ends, and
they they did not push very well. They the Chevy
struggled and a bunch of them got knocked out in
a big wreck. So we'll see. But those are some
notes I had for for you auto racing guys. All right, Dan,
what so we went over? If you didn't watch yesterday,
go back and watch it because we we. Dan and
I did things that should be a Olympic events. I
Dan and I went in completely different directions here. So
what did What did the comment section say?
Speaker 2: Well? And I pulled two of them. One of them
will be a three free day Flex pass winner. Because
they included their their their wager Talk username. There were
some great ones. There was hide and seek. That was
one of the suggestions.
Speaker 1: I thought of hide and Seek, that would be amazing
in the Olympic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have to add parameters, you know what
I mean, Like there has to be a boundary and
everything like that. But yeah, hide and seek, You're you're
hunting the most dangerous game known to mankind, which is
of course man But in true wager talk comment or fashion, Andy, uh,
they were suggesting things that probably could never be included.
Mark Valdez saying, event where you take the longest blank
rips only can get gold medal. Obviously if you pass out,
you're disqualified. These were my two entrants on who I
would probably put up for our our our inaugural team.
Good for that event, but one that ties in with
our conversation here today. And who's going to be winning
a free three day flex pass? Guys, that's all it takes.
Sometimes watch the show comment below and we you know,
give you some free three day passes. Ed Olsen is
going to be our winner. Beer chucking. This is the
second I saw that comment, Andy, I wanted to pull
up one of the more underrated comedies of the last
twenty some years, and that is beer Fest. I mean
the the Olympic beer drinking team. They go there, they
take on the Germans. They missed their popo with the
secret recipe so instantly when a comment makes me think
of one of my favorite forgotten comedies and beer Fest
Finns for life. Don't worry, We're going to be getting
you in the free three day flex pass. Andy. This
would be a great one.
Speaker 1: This is not out of the realm of potential because
it's not necessarily beer. It's how eating. Yeah, Like the
Fourth of July is basically built around the dog eating competition.
So yeah, I'm amazed at they the people that can
just pour it down their throats. They don't like swallow
it at all, Like they just open up the open
up their throats and just down it goes that That
blows my mind.
Speaker 2: So that was loss boo.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Can do.
Speaker 1: Who's the first to pee?
Speaker 2: This is all time back to your days at the
college bar. Andy, This is all time back. Yeah, rats
there too, to ed Olson. Big thanks to everyone. Guys.
After the show's go live, whether you're letting us know
if you're following a play, you're fade in the play,
what you're betting the night? Keep those comments coming, guys,
it's a big way to say thanks for everyone who's
on the show. Here. While you're down there, hit that
like button subscribe.
Speaker 1: Uh So, where do you stand on the boiler Maker?
Speaker 5: See?
Speaker 2: Andy, I had a This is probably six seven years ago.
I can count on one hand, Andy, and I can
count on one finger the amount of times I have
blacked out in my life. It was only one time.
And the one time was when my buddy Dud's was
bartending down at Flanningen's Irish pub and it was on
It was on the the eve obviously of Saint Patrick's Day,
and the car bombs Andy, whether they were Irish or not,
were flowing with absolute regularity. And from that point forward, Andy,
after I woke up in my bathroom upstairs covered in water,
I said, you know, I'm probably gonna be a shot
before the beer kind of got no more dropping into
the beers for me. So I at one time, Ander, Andy,
I was a boiler maker type gentleman. At this point
in my life, Andy, I'm gonna take the shot. I'm
more of a hey how about I sip a little
bit of whiskey after a couple of beers go down,
we have the whiskey for the nightcap, not really pairing
the sidecar as much anymore.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think we're four and one on the show.
In agreement, Jesse the only lunatic that puts his shot
now you.
Speaker 2: If you would go and pull Delta five, they're probably
all dropping their their shots into the bar, into the
beer at that point in their careers. You know what
I mean?
Speaker 1: Andy, Yeah, I I I had I had a great aunt.
I just remember this as a kid. At all family gathering,
she would sit right next to the kitchen in this chair,
and whenever somebody would walk by, she would just go,
I'll have a shooter. And a shooter was a beer
with a shot of vodka in it. So by the
by the end she would just have all of these
glasses and just sit there and get smashed. Move beer
in vodka, yeah, move anybody to walk my kids tall
up a shooter in the kitchen, Dad, she needs a shooter,
another one.
Speaker 2: After my own heart. Lovely matriarch. Lovely matriarch there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's do some free plays. I
only got two for all around the world real quick.
Though it is five dollars Tuesday, We're gonna do a
free play here. This one didn't make the card. It
just missed the card, but we'll go over it. That's yesterday, Dan.
Speaker 2: Come on. This always happens to me, and that's all right.
Speaker 1: I'll do my very professional promo. I have a five
dollars best bet up in UFC. The last time we
put one up, we hit it. Therefore, we are riding
momentum and you should go get this five dollars UFC play.
I have a five dollars tennis play as seen with
the Absolute Wagon. Tennis plays are hitting again. We are
riding momentum and you should go get that play. It's
only ten bucks for two plays. UFC is this Saturday.
Tennis starts today. Free play Okay center to win two
zero versus Popperin.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: Popperin won his last match. Channel your Interferris Bueller. How
many matches did he lose in a row before that?
Interfer Spueller? How many times.
Speaker 2: It's it's been it's been sometimes since I've.
Speaker 1: Wow Spueller nine times, nine times, nine nine times in
a row. Cinder beat the brakes off of him earlier
when they played, so I have him to win to
zero and then Meddie versus seats of Seats of Pots.
Is dealing with this back injury. He said he almost
retired last year. Medev has swept him the last three
times they've played Seats of Pots. Is really just trying
to get back to good form and get his health back.
But his back is a real problem. Medvedev playing really well,
So I like Medvedev. You parlay those together, it's minus
one sixty nine. It's a little juicy, doing my best
to try and get you guys a free tennis play.
This just missed the card. I have not played this yet,
so take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: I like the dog here. I think this dog is
gonna bark here. Dan Josiah Harrald plus two forty against
Kobe Smith. Jacoby Smith. His dad was a US was
a professional fighter. Jacoby Smith is really good. There's one
thing he's not really managed yet, and that's how to
how to manage his cardio. He Dan, You've been out
to the bar with a guy that goes too hard
too early, and you're like an hour in and you
got to take him home. That's the way Jacoby Smith
fights like. He goes balls to the wall in the
first round and it's it's worked so far. Josiah Harrol,
he pulled this off in his last fight. The guy
kicked his ass in the first round. Harrol has has
great cardio and he reversed it. I think Harrol's gonna
kind of get beat up in the first round and
then he's gonna pull ahead. Don't be surprised if he
pulls the upset in round three when Jacoby Smith gets tired.
This is an awesome live back because I think Smith
is going to look good in the first round. You
might be able to live bet Harrold and get him
in like five to one, six to one. So Jasia
Harrol coming in a little bit of short notice. I
think he pulls the upset.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: That's a great show.
Speaker 2: Dan, who's not no sports, no freaking problem for you?
And I I mean, guys, come on, can we get
a little bit of love here? We're keeping we're keeping
plays coming up plenty here. Nine indeed, we almost had
nine damn free plays here on the show. When there's
no NBA, there's no NHL. Come on, this is this
is the new wager talk today for you folks.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely absolutely so. All right, throw Longhorns baseball on
the tennis parlay and bet the number down, all right,
RJ keep us posted on your college baseball plays for sure.
All right, guys, five dollars Tuesday again, take advantage of these.
Try out a handicapper that you haven't tried before. It's
a good time to read their analysis see if it's
a good fit for you and your portfolio. Also, don't
forget seven dollars plays over at sports Memo. You can
check out those guys. We have that every single day.
So it's a great time to try some sports you
may not have been interested in. And I'm telling you
tennis is this is the new, big hidden gym for
myself and for clients. We've been cashing that at a high,
high rate, and I don't expect that to slow down
anytime soon. Dan's got his lacrosse plays.
Speaker 2: That's going.
Speaker 1: That's at the beginning of the show. Thank you so
much for watching, like leave a comment, good luck on
your plays, and we'll see everyone tomorrow. Take care
