Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Wager Talk today, the gold standard of sports
betting shows, where we talked to talk and walked the walk.
It's Friday. We got you locked in, loaded for the weekend.
We got free plays, we got all around the world,
and we're starting a new streak today. We got we
got the taste out of our mouth of Colin Morning
Kawa yesterday. But we're gonna start our latter challenge or
let it ride mission with a play today. I'll tell
you about that.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 2: We got a just amazing show and no more led
class courts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the the the glass courts that were I
you sent the story where they're not playing on They're
going back to hardwood folks, so the first half unders
no longer a thing. Maybe now that they're they're back,
we maybe looked towards the overs with some of these
adjusted numbers. However, Andy, when you said the story, I said, yeah,
dumb idea was decided. It was a dumb idea. That's
how they could have rewritten the headline. But we'll see
if Marco's playing his tiny violin, because he's going to
be joining us fresh off of five percent cash last night.
He's got a best bet for you in Clemson and
Duke and Kansas versus Houston, two huge games. Marco's got
best bets for both of them in that we're gonna
kick it off with Yanni the Greek, give you the
Steam Report, talk a little UFC as well, and then
Teddy covers the man on a four and oh run
in NBA Action. He's got two NBA breakdowns for you here, folks, Calves, Mavericks, Timberwolves,
and the Warriors, and Andy and Teddy are going to
be forced to sell me and you on maybe the
most disgusting game on the board, of which there were
many to pick up in NBA Actions, So Andy plenty
to get to before we get to Yannie. You have
a play that's time sensitive. So let's get the folks
and winners right out of the gate here. Let's go
all around the world, my friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to get this golf play out so
anybody watching live can get in there. But we'll do
a couple of NBA props here. Daniel Gafford over nine
and a half points for the Mavericks. He's gone over
in five straight. He's getting a lot of shot attempts
and they're very high percentage shot attempts because he's a
center right at the rim. He's getting six or seven
made shots per game. He's adding a couple of free throws.
And Jared Allen is still out for the cap. So
Daniel Gafford over his points going to the Grizzlies and Pistons.
Jalen Wells over one and a half made threes. This
is all about the volume. He's gone over in nine
straight games, and he's getting six attempts per game while
shooting forty three percent. So the math makes all the
sense in the world. If you're shooting six of them
and you're making forty three percent of them, you should
make two in that one. But for the play that
starts here in about an hour and a half, Victor
Hovelin under seventy one and a half on his round
two score. Victor Hoblin could be a frustrating guy to
bet on, but I like this consistency. Yesterday he had
no bogies. He shot sixty nine and I've been watching
all morning and whether it's not too bad, not too windy,
conditions are pretty good. There's there's some low scores out there.
As long as your accurate off the tea, which Hoblin was,
and he was great around the green. That's been his
big achilles heel throughout his career is scrambling sand saves, chipping.
But he was really really good yesterday, so we'll take
Victor Hoblin have another good round two score at the players.
So those are your freakings all around the world.
Speaker 3: Well done, Andy, Lang wt dot buzz Backslash. Hey l folks,
if you're joining us here, I see some new names
as well. Hit that like button and subscribe because we
got some gold coming your way with the man who
has a free steam room on YouTube coming your way
this week.
Speaker 1: It is Yanni, the Greek Yanni. How are we doing
on a Friday?
Speaker 4: Brother God bless America? Never better, Brother, never better, very
very busy, A lot to get to. Let me just
before we dive into action, let me share what I
have up for free for you guys real fast. I
think there's four or five soccer premium bets that are
for free up over at wagertalk dot com on the
free picks every pretty much Soccer. I think I released
my subscribers. Over the last couple of days I have
been putting up for free. I know what you're asking,
why soccer? Why soccer? It's everybody's It's March madness, all basketball. Well,
over the last seven days, we've hit sixty five percent
of our soccer bets with an eighteen percent ROI. That's
all I'm interested in is turning a profit. So there's
a couple soccer bets over there, and there's even a
college baseball for this afternoon, so we have a college
baseball up as well, and of course there's steamsheet college
basketball stuff that we could get. To be very cautious
if your following line moves, be very cautious. I said
it yesterday. I'm going to say it again. Perfect example.
Look at George Washington Saint Louis. Look at what the
total hit the odds logic screen, or at least the
way you talk screen, and try to determine whether the
sharp side was the over or the under in that game.
It's going to be very difficult. Regardless of the outcome.
I can promise you with certainty that the over was
the right side. As far as the sharp side, it
was being manipulated. I was watching it in real time
getting hit off screen at over one fifty eight. Some
books went to even one fifty seven when it was
being dummied up on the screen. Like right now, it's
happening in front of our eyes while I'm speaking Wisconsin Illinois.
That exact same thing's happening the Wisconsin lines being manipulated
so that they could blast Illinois at a better number
than what it was. They had trouble getting it down
this morning. They tried bringing it down, that was impossible.
Now as more betters are getting to the window and
more books are opening limits, they're finding it easier to do.
So be very careful if you're just trading off of
line moves alone, have some conviction. And finally, we've been
low volume in the last couple of days because I
expected this. We shot out so hot in college basketball,
we need time to consolidate. That's why over the last
three days have been great. Six and eight. We're down
two positions. But when in doubt, zoom out. Over the
last seven days up ten units in college basketball, last
thirty days, up forty seven units in college basketball, and
for the sevens in up seventy nine units in college basketball.
So whether it's last seven days, thirty days, or for
the season, we're up money. But over the last two
or three days. You're gonna get some variants in between.
Speaker 5: If you're with me for.
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty six, just stick to the program. We're way
ahead of schedule. With that said, we could dive into
college basketball, UFC, whatever you want to talk about. Brother,
I got a lot of information.
Speaker 2: Let's piggyback off the line moves, the call it the robodobe,
the all line moves and being tripped up. This is
a it's a tough time a year to follow the
line moves because we don't know who's playing each other.
So when the books come out, talk about how the
lines get manipulated from the books and the syndicates and
the sharps, and why we need to be so cautious
about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because immediately what I'm seeing is the line that's
being created is like, like we talked about yesterday, ninety
plus percent based on a power rating alone, because they
have that number available instantly with a slight adjustment, possibly
for recency bias or any kind of injury or like
you know what I mean, a player played too many minutes,
got banged up, something like that. Otherwise it's all power
rating related. And then you start seeing the handicap come
into effect. That's why those early first moves. Pay attention
to them, but be cautious because a lot of time
it's not based on information and like that particular matchup.
As work gets put in, that's when you start seeing
And of course that's also when the limits start to
open up and bigger bets are placed. So a lot
of the early stuff be very cautious. That's why the
steam sheet early, I'm not putting fifteen plays in there.
I've been very selective in putting them in as I
confirm this is legit, win or lose. I can be
confident these are legit. Otherwise I'd be putting in both
sides on like probably eight, nine, ten, eleven plays, where
lately I've been only having to do it maybe two
or three times max. Where you know I read it
wrong early and they came back late and did something.
But there's just so much of that going on because
you got to remember, there's calshet, there's poly market. They're
using these markets to manipulate, using these markets to take
advantage of, you know, lesser traders. Like there's a lot
going on and right now with college basketball and just
so much opportunities and so many, so much limits, Like
the limits are huge even on team totals, first halves,
second halfs. You can get down a lot more money
right now than you could have just two weeks ago,
you know what I mean in regular season. So that's
why it's very advantageous. But it's a minefield, so just
just caution navigating it, that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's move to UFC. Kyle couldn't make it for
a segment ahead Internet issues yesterday, so let's get the
UFC fix.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting card. I'm continuing to tread very lately. The
craziness with UFC continues to uh to cause me a
lot of heartache. Johanni. But I mean, we got a
main event where Kevin Viejos is minus five thirty five.
It's the crazy number. I gotta tell you. I love
the over three and a half two low volume guys,
I love the over in this one. What do you
think about the main main event?
Speaker 4: Agree on the over? That that's actually the bet that
I'm looking at. And I kind of was hoping that
maybe once the weigh in and the betters get their
window of the recreational betters because it's Josh Ammitt and
because of you know, one punch knock out power finishing
at least the narrative, I'm hoping we get an even
better price to go over. I agree with you one Also,
you're right, like, look at these big favorites, but even
though the favorites are well out ahead in twenty twenty six,
like close to eighty percent, and historically that's very high,
in the main event, we've seen dogs get the money.
I don't know if you mentioned it or whether it
was one of the shows I did, but I'm o
host mentioning it.
Speaker 1: Beat these main events.
Speaker 4: We've seen a lot of dogs come in like Strickland
and I think just last week with the Holloway fight
in Olavera, the main event. We've seen some chalk, but
we've seen some dogs get the money. Not saying the
bet Emmett, but at the lay hosts, you just can't
bet them for Shay hosts. Call them what you will
because at this price, like you got to conclude he
wins this fight nine out of ten times, just to
have a little bit of an edge, and you can't
do that in NMA, especially even against a aging Josh.
So I agree with you I like the over there.
You know what stuck out at me, and I'll just
share it now. Piera Rodriguez in the opening fight, because
I'm seeing a lot of recreational betters on Sam Hughes,
because she's coming in having one three straight, four of
her last five. But dig a little deeper on what
you're going to find is two of those three wins
were by split decision right In the one, Luciano way
outstruck her, but she was able to get the takedowns
and in the other fight, due to COVID, was able
to secure the takedowns and controller, but Hughes landed more.
What I'm trying to stay is, had one judge just
seen it differently, she'd be coming in with one win
in her last four fights. This would be a much
different line we're looking at with Piera Rodriguez. We'd be
looking at Rodriguez well over a two to one favor
even at the opener. So I thought this line came
out a little bit short, and I did release Piera Rodriguez.
I gave her to my subscribers as well for four
percent play, and I think anything less than two hundred,
I really do think you're getting the best of it
with Rodriguez, because again Hughes is coming in. Huh. But
I I think she got a little bit lucky, and
I don't think she sustains that.
Speaker 2: I agree. I love Piero Rodriguez, Uh, Sam, Sam Hughes,
Sam Paige. She's basically an underdog in every fight, which
the books are just like, we don't buy Sam Hughes.
I saw an interview with her and she was like, Oh,
You're gonna see a new version of me, and I'm like, okay, okay, yeah,
I hate hearing that stuff. Yeah, okay, all right, whatever,
we know exactly what you're gonna do.
Speaker 4: As bad as this has been my best training camp, I'm.
Speaker 2: In the best shape of my life.
Speaker 4: My life never been healthier.
Speaker 2: I'm in a great space. Yeah questions, Yeah, yeah, I'm
with you and Piero Rodriguez. Never forget she got disqualified
for headbutting her opponent multiple times.
Speaker 1: I love the Oh can I ask you this one?
Speaker 4: Sorry, this matchup, and yet again, if you don't have
an opinion, it's okay. Vtor Patrino and Steven Asplong. Here's
why I like the Patrino side. A guest I had
on my UFC podcast, like the Asplin side. Without even
knowing that I like Patrino, he was just sharing stuff
that he liked and he thought that was a live dog.
Speaker 2: In the heavyweights, there's rumors that Vtor Patrino has a
hand injury. I cannot confirm, but I've seen a twenty
five cent line move on aspland so Asplin's striking is
nice and Patrino with this weird move up to he
was light heavyweight. Now he's yeah heavyweight apparently, so his
wrestling is going to be much better than Aspalin. But
both these guys are hit able. It's dog or passed
for me on this one. But once I heard rumors
of the hand injury, yeah, dog or nothing. But again
live bet. But we don't need to put anything on
this fight before it starts, Like if Petrino's scared to
throw the right, you know his hand is messed up.
Speaker 1: So rebaiting, what's it called?
Speaker 4: Are we going with Tavaris?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's a retirement fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Eric Anders has come out and said this is my
retirement fight, and yet money's come in on him, and
I don't get it. There's been two guys, two fighters
that have announced their retirement fight in one. In the
entire history of UFC, two two guys have done it.
One was like twenty years ago. So yeah, this is
just an auto bet. If it loses, that's fine. I'll
do it again next time. So yeah, I'll be on
tavares H for sure. For sure. One more dog. Yes,
you could talk me into amandolamos Yo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like to lay motion to Comaine. It's dogger
Pass for me, for sure, for sure, for sure. Gillian
Robertson just reminds me of that a fighter that will
get right there and just not be able to get
that next step to like the title, Like she was
right there when she beat Pierre Rodriguez, but couldn't get
past Tabitha Ricci. Now she's one four more in a row,
but I think like she's gonna fall against a veteran
like lame Osh who has alternated wins and losses. But
when you look at strength of the schedule, when you
look at how dangerous she is, she's the kind that
could definitely spoil some moneyline parlays on Saturday night. Doggar
pass all day.
Speaker 2: For me, agreed completely. Julian Robertson apparently she has a
cult following.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, dudes.
Speaker 2: Let's let's just say guys that like redheads, I'll just
leave it at that.
Speaker 6: Dan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you like redheads, just do a little
research and you will find any college basketball you want
to leave us with before we let you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me share some college basketball that that are
right off this thing sheet for you, guys. I saw
Michigan State and UCLA get both hit. I saw Michigan
State mindspot and a half. I saw UCLA plus six
and six and a half. Here's some one sided place
eight twenty eight, Arkansale minus six and a half, e
twenty three, Tennessee plus one and a half, eight thirty
three seat and Houle plus eight and a half, eight
forty nine, North Reach plus five and a half, eight
oh one, Ducaine plus nine eight thirteen, Missouri State plus one.
And then in the extra board Howard minus fifteen.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it, great stuff, Yannie, appreciate it. Let's
have a big weekend, brother. What do you have up
for everyone?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, steam sheet is up for today. The UFC
card is up as well, with a couple of premiums.
There if I confirm four percents. A few more might
have two four percent two three percents already in college basketball,
I'll put a package up Otherwise, I don't like really
putting up much daily stuff unless I do have like
a five percent and rest a shot. With the Saturday
action coming in finals, we're gonna find like a big,
big bet. It always happens in conference tournaments, So rest
a short look out for Saturday free steam room, jump
on board. Ask her questions because we'll be talking about
March Madness, the tournament going over year to date results. Uh,
kicking ans so far and just keep doing it. Say
hello to Jackpop, newest member of my family, and Jackpots
by the lead to just flash that dog and then.
Speaker 1: Leave is an elite name.
Speaker 4: Dude, Jackpots the man. Dude, say hi, Bud, say hi.
He just came in two nights ago. Bro, he is
the best.
Speaker 2: I wish he was.
Speaker 3: That's an awesome coat man.
Speaker 1: That's a cool writing dog. Bro.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, big two point one pounds, Bro, these two
point one pounds now born on New Year's Eve, New
Year's Eve.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: He buried the lead with Jackpot, which for Yanni the
Greek Jackpot. Insane dog name that's well done.
Speaker 4: Boy, right here, I need It's been a while, bro,
it's been a while. I love dogs, and my ex
wife took my dog, and I just been looking at
dogs for the last two years. And now I finally wait,
I'm doing just because I don't want to alter it,
because what's happens. You get lonely and then you end
up finding a girl and that's worse, Like the dog's
gonna cost me so much less.
Speaker 3: So much more in the long run.
Speaker 1: Side.
Speaker 4: Last time, dude, last time I got lonely, I moved
a girl from Oklahoma up here. What are you talking about?
Because I was living in the same high rise and
for three four months, and you just get dude, you
get bored by yourself and then you walk downside stairs
and it's nothing but like hookers and pros and hustlers
and scrippers. It's like if you see a normal human being,
you're like, yay. But anyway, this time around, I said
we're doing.
Speaker 1: You made the right call.
Speaker 3: And also, long run, you know your dog weighing just
over two pounds gonna cost you a hell of a
lot less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, before you go, roy, uh, what is
the steam sheet? So break it down.
Speaker 4: What is steam shit, It's what I put in there
is all the information that I'm betting, meaning all the
accounts that we're betting into, all the stuff that i'm
betting I'm putting in there, and all stuff that I
share with other runners like myself, movers like myself, And
that's for you to determine whether you agree disagree like
that is what I do. How I have my sheet
plays come in, I release the ones that I agree with.
I release the ones that I think are still winners.
There's still value, and I urge betters to use the
Steam sheet the same exact way. If you're a handicapper,
you want to know what winning betters are on. You
want to know what the line moves mean. So it's
a it's a real good if you're if you're handicapping,
definitely good piece of information. And there's also a premium
play each and every day added to it, so it
definitely worth the worth, worth the price of admission for sure.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it, Thank you, Yanni, thank you.
Speaker 1: This week.
Speaker 4: Got a little pat on the head, baby, let's go.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have never I've never seen a burying the
lead worst case.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He was just like, all right, guys, have a
good weekend.
Speaker 2: And we were like, whoa, I'm out.
Speaker 1: We need to talk you about the dog.
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, let's see. Uh We're gonna bring on
Teddy here in just a bit.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: But thank you to everybody that joined us on the
five dollars Tuesday play, the darts play. It won yesterday.
I I don't I don't know who thinks I'm more
of a lunatic, my wife or my neighbors. So we
do our live show with darts, and I'm yelling and
screaming about darts. And Yan joined us, and we have
nicknames like Michael van Growin we call him because he
lost he lost a bunch of weight. So I'm screaming
about ozempic And we had a huge, huge day betting
darts on the live show. So for those of you
that joined us live, I really appreciate it. But Dan,
our darts player, and by the way, Pres came up
with this, why don't they call them dartists? Which is
one of PRES's best line. The darks Place. So we
bet on our guy, Johnny Clayton, and he comes out
and he's limping bad like he's basically dragging one of
his legs around, and myself and Yon are like, oh
my god, we bet on an injured darts player, like
our play is toast. And not only does he win
his first match, he wins his second match, and then
he wins the entire night. He can barely walk, and
he does an interview after and he's like, I have gout,
had it my whole life. I used to have it
at my elbow, but now it's down in my ankle.
So thank god because now I can just my arm
works and I can kick everyone's ass. Now that my
arm works in my ankle hurts. So it was a
wild wild day in dart leats is pretty good. Blocked,
that's pretty good dart leats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, darniss is strong though dart its start paints
a picture, so to speak. But that was but nothing
is better when you sent me your whole right up
of how we cash the play and the dude comes
out and he's like, yeah, I got gout, but luckily
it moved from my elbow to my ankle.
Speaker 1: Only in darts. Only in darts, we get the gout andicap.
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan did the premium lacrosse play.
Speaker 3: Win Dan, Yes, yes, so are we had the over
twenty three and a half. We had twenty eight, like
in a late third quarter, so easy rocking chair.
Speaker 1: And in our group.
Speaker 3: Chat, we always when we get the win, we send
the bang, and I was I was unfortunately indisposed. I
wasn't able to send it. So I always get the
mess for and he said, Dan, let us hear it.
So yeah, it's been nice man. Since we put up
that that thirty day special that people can grab it
for sixty nine bucks. We've been continuing what we have
done the whole time that we've been releasing lacross place
here at Wader Talk, So knock on wood. Hopefully that
continue as we're putting in the hours. So happy to
cash again for the folks there.
Speaker 2: You know, Andy, some days, some days I like my job,
some days I don't. But I mean yesterday, when you're
cashing on darts and lacrosse, it's just like one of
those like this is a this is a standard Thursday.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing you want the offbeat sports
on the days when when you just need a little
bit of you know, action and you want to keep
cashing and you want people who do it, you know,
as their job for sure. That's where you get head
on over to Andy, you know for the sports like
NBA for college basketball. We got two great guys coming up,
and let's bring in Teddy now because the.
Speaker 1: Man clients this week.
Speaker 3: And on the hardwood, Teddy, it's been going well. Again,
I'm not gonna jase you or anything. I'm knocking on
the wood here before and oh, run man eleven and
six run these last six days. So I'll ask you
how you're doing. But it's been a good seeing it well, Teddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're fine.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: We're making money. I mean that's the goal. Uh, I'm
doing my job, and that's what it comes.
Speaker 6: Down to is if I'm not if I'm not winning,
I'm not doing my job right, you know, And people
get to yell at me.
Speaker 1: And I hate being yelled at and I hate being man,
and I hate when people.
Speaker 6: Are like this guy sucks. So it's a lot better
when you're winning. And look, i mean, Johnny talk.
Speaker 1: About all the time. We're grinders.
Speaker 6: All right, we'll do this every day long term. And
when you're a grinder, there's gonna be good stretches. They're
gonna be bad stretches. The goal is maximize your good stretches,
minimize your bad stretches. So what a time like now
where we're seeing things clearly, the college hoops has been good,
the NBA has been good. You get a little bit
more aggressive. So we're a little bit more aggressive right now.
You know, for what it's worth.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to the games that we're gonna break down,
and then of course we're gonna do sell me. But
I've been in this business for a while and I
can recommend. Hey, this is what I'm good at, this
is what Dan's good at. I will tell you once
February and March rolls around, it's Teddy Covers in NBA.
I put my own money on that, Like I will
tell you guys what wins and and you know, when
we're running good, But once it comes down after the
All Star break, it is Teddy Covers in the NBA.
So it's just rinse and repeat with you. You don't need
to be that humble Teddy.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
Speaker 6: So you know what, Once football is in the rear
view mirror, the focus level changes a little bit.
Speaker 1: Towards bats team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and obviously over the years it has been very
very good for the clients and I in a recent season,
but that's really long term, you know. And the other
thing that happens after if the All Star break is
you know very clearly who the tanking teams are and
you can bet against them over and or one another
one last night, let's bet against the.
Speaker 1: Pacers, you know.
Speaker 6: And it's it's easy, you know, relatively easy when you know,
when you find teams that don't want to win games,
and the markets don't adjust enough for that. So I
love that. But two things real quick. First, I feel
like I'm in the best shape of my life right now.
I don't know about you, guys.
Speaker 3: Don't be all teddy.
Speaker 1: And second, Jackpot is a great name for a dog.
My dog is black.
Speaker 6: So when we got our dog, like, what's the right
name for a Vegas dog who's black? And I call
my buddies like Blackjack, So my dog.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, a Vegas dog dog names that's that's that's
well done, out of you.
Speaker 2: That's well done, God, strong strong dog names. Dan's got.
Speaker 1: Mine mine is not nearly as cool.
Speaker 3: But you look at this damn dog, Teddy, It's a
freaking Winny, you know you can.
Speaker 2: Just that's great, That's great. Yeah, Teddy, you're dead on
about these tanking teams. I've been doing the same game parlays,
fading the tanking teams, taking some alt lines. So let's
talk about a couple of games here, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Warriors.
I guess we could kind of say the Mavericks are
taking team the Warriors sadly, uh our taking team with
with this situation, but I want to talk Cleveland and Dallas, so, uh,
you disagree, disagree with the Warriors.
Speaker 6: The Warriors can't lose enough to meet to fall out
of the playing game, so they can't tank to get
you know, they're they're they're they're not getting the lottery pick.
There's no benefit for Golden State losing these games.
Speaker 1: They just suck.
Speaker 2: And that's your breakdown, and asked, Yeah, well, let's tuck
this Cavaliers and Mavericks team. Jared Allen is still hurt
for Cleveland, but they're still going to be massive favorites
here thirteen and a half over under two thirty six
and a half. How do you break this game down?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we've seen over money come in for the
Cavs and the MAVs.
Speaker 1: I'll believe it at this that's not my money.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 6: And so the first half of a home and home,
with these home and home series where these two teams
play back to back, a lot of times, I'll sit
out the first meeting and then play the second meeting
based on what we saw the first time. This isn't
necessarily one of those spots. And I do think there's
a play to be made tonight. But you've got Cleveland
coming and off a loss. They got beat by Orlando
on Wednesday night, a poor defensive showing, and they're playing
mediocre basketball right now. You talk to the Jared Allen injury,
sim Merrill may not play tonight. They've you know, they've
been banged up team for quite some time right now,
but just three and four straight up in their last seven.
The quotes coming out of the loss against Orlando on
Wednesday were all about defense, you know, James Harden. Obviously
Orlando's a really good team, but that's the game you
should have won. It comes down to getting stops and
relying on our defense to win us games. We score
enough points offensively. We can score with the best of them.
Nights like this are very tough, obviously, giving up a
buck twenty eight. Now the Cavs are a sub five
hundred team against the spread coming off a loss. That said,
their last eight tries seven and one straight up, six
to one and one ats. They've been good at bouncing
back lately, even though the full season numbers don't show that.
And you talked about Jared Allen being out and this
allendery is not serious, you know, Kenny Atkins has made
that clear. But they're trying to keep their best players
as many as they can.
Speaker 1: Healthy, obviously for the postseason.
Speaker 6: Dallas coming off a win, Cleveland off of lost, Dallas
off a win, Dallas off a win. Full season, they've
been money losers in this role. They went four straight
in January. They were nineteen to twenty six at the time,
three and eighteen straight up since then eight and thirteen.
Ats a significant losing team for their backers. They were
turning home off a long, grueling six game road trip,
four double digit losses during that trip, and then they
beat the Griz. You know, obviously this is not a
team that I'm excited about. The underdog Dallas is not
a team I'm looking a back right now. I don't
want the dog. The Cavs doubled Caves covered as double
digit chalk against the Nets and the Wizards last game
before the All Star Break and the first game back.
But other than those two covers, here's an under the
radar stat for you. And I had to go through
this twice to make sure I would admit the Cavs
other than those two again, the last game before the
All Star Break and the first game after they the
Nets and the Wizards. Other than those two covers, the
Cavs at minus seven and a half are higher since
November two and eighteen against the spread. So I don't
want the MAVs. I don't want the Cavs, but I
do want the Cavs defense tonight. I also wore worth
noting the Caves number twenty eight in pace over the
last ten games. The MAVs full season numbers were fast.
At one point there were number one in pace. Now
they're down to six in pace. They're now to number
twelve in pace over the last ten games. They're playing snower, slower.
The Cavs are playing slow, and the Caves are interested
in defense tonight. What does all that tell us this
total steamed up. I'll fade it. Give me under two
thirty seven. You can find two to thirty seven and
a half for Cleveland and Dallas on Friday night.
Speaker 3: You're mute at Andy, my friend, and I'm sure you're
making the best point.
Speaker 1: You've ever made.
Speaker 2: James Harden talking about we need to play better defense
is right, so world so all right. So I'm trying
to think of other comparisons. Justin Field's talking about we
need to throw the ball more accurate to we need
to stay healthy. I'm trying to think of other really
great quotes from athletes. If you guys can come up
with it, we go go.
Speaker 3: Outside of actors, John Candy saying we need to eat
a little bit better. You know, it's it's, it's it
all all comes full circle.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit home runs this year, you know. Yeah,
good one.
Speaker 2: James Harden, we need to play defense, okay, James, alrighty uh,
that's it.
Speaker 6: Well, it's worth knowing any when James Harden is giving
us a quote like that, we're playing the caves under
okay right now in Cleveland, and that puts a lot
of a lot of time, effort and thought into defensive mentality,
so perhaps he's buying it in that regard.
Speaker 2: I want to get to this other game, but I
have to get your thoughts on Bam out of Bio
in the eighty three points we were talking. I was
talking to one of my buddies. What was the more
insane number from that game? Was it the forty three
free thrower attempts or the twenty two to three point attempts?
I voted for twenty two three point attempts from Bam
out of BYO. What do you think?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 1: You know me, I was watching. It's what It's what
I do. We watched the association.
Speaker 6: And I found the l I found the fourth quarter
to be pretty ridiculous, you know, from a certainly from
a referee standpoint, all right, and when Miami's intentionally fouling
up whatever they were up to get Bam more tries
and sposs explanation I thought was appropriate. You know, hey man,
we got a guys, guys having a once in a
lifetime experience.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna do everything we.
Speaker 6: Can to defeat him, and I get that, but intentionally fouling,
you know, the other team they have more possessions for
your team, and then the fouls forty feet from the
basket and the forty three free throw attempts.
Speaker 4: Dam On A.
Speaker 6: Bio did not deserve to be on any lists with
wil Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 2: I know the the NBA record for most three point attempts.
I was surprised it's only twenty four. I thought that
would be way higher. I thought, like, man, multiple overtime,
surely somebody would have got to thirty. But it's actually
Klay Thompson took twenty four threes. I was pretty surprised
that bat out of Bio is third with most three
point It's Clay Steph and then Bam out of Bio
the center.
Speaker 3: You know, those three sharp shooters. That's that's the mount
Rushmore of shooting right there.
Speaker 2: Who knew? Who do?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the timberwe and the Warriors here. Yeah,
the Warriors, the season really got away from them. Minnesota Timberwolves.
I like your take on the Timberwolves because to me,
they're a team that on paper, they got aunt, they
got kind of all the pieces. Yet I just don't
quite see them in the tier of you know, the
OKAC Thunder and maybe maybe Denver when they're completely healthy.
So i'd love your take on the Timberwolves and what
you see from them. They're minus six and a half
over Unders two twenty four and a half. So take
on the Timberwolves and what do you think about this game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, when it comes to this postseason, I'm not particularly
high on Minnesota, and you talked about three teams that
I definitely think have a better chance. Okay, see I
would be surprised if not, Okay, see versus San Antonio
when it comes to the Western Conference Finals. That being said,
Denver's live to do something and Minnesota's you know, I mean,
they haven't impressed me at all.
Speaker 1: With the exception of Antony Edwards.
Speaker 6: That being said, from a spot standpoint, Boy, you have
to like the spot here for Minnesota. They slipped now
in the sixth place in the West. They've lost three
in a row, they had one five in row to
open the month, and they're coming off a particularly bad loss,
giving up a buck fifty three to the Clips.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday night.
Speaker 6: Clips shot sixty three percent from the floor, they shot
fifty one percent from three point range, and Chris Finch,
Minnesota's head coach not amused after the game. Quote, Obviously
it's not acceptable. They didn't have a single quarter under
thirty five points. Not an acceptable defensive performance at all.
And of course that came on the second of back
to backs after they lost to the Lakers the previous night.
More Finch quote, we got to regroup. We got to
play both sides of the floor on Tuesday with our offense.
Wednesday was their defense. So we we got to put
a complete game together, come back together. We know we're
a good team. Feels like we're a million miles away
from where we were a week ago, but we're not.
Clearly there's urgency tonight for Minnesota, for Golden State. I
mean they're losing the Utah now. You know, they're losing
to the Bulls in overtime at home. Know, Steve Kerry,
they're both three winnable games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you've got l J.
Speaker 6: Cryer and Guist Santos and Pat Spencer as your double
digit scorers. You know, now, the chance that could get
to Anthony Meltain back tonight, see if Quinton Post's gonna
be able to go. He missed the last time out.
But you know they're five and ten and fifteen games,
and Steph Curry got hurt. And because of the way
the Western Conference is Golden State, you know, have Memphis
nine games behind them.
Speaker 1: You know they're they're gonna be in the playing games.
Speaker 6: But the Warrior is right now looking a lot more
like a lottery team than a playoff team. If I'm playing,
I'm laying Minnesota or pass for this better?
Speaker 1: You think down there?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Andy, do you think can you can you see?
Speaker 1: UH?
Speaker 2: Can you see a world in which Lebron plays with
Steph Curry next year for the Warriors in the UH
in the the final seasons? Because I'm going down the
list of teams that could sign with, could play with.
Do we potentially see Lebron and Steph playing together? Would
that be fun?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 1: Is the sports better?
Speaker 6: I always get two questions when I meet regular casual
people out in the world. The first question everyone asks, oh,
who's gonna win the Super Bowl this year? I'm like,
I don't know, I don't give a crap, you know,
just tell me who's playing and I'll do my best
I break it down.
Speaker 1: But if you that's the first ques, you are a
sports better. Okay, Who's winning?
Speaker 3: Suer?
Speaker 7: Bowl.
Speaker 6: The second question that people ask me, and I say
I'm a sports better, is oh, where's this player gonna sign?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Where does this go? I don't freaking know.
Speaker 6: Give me the team that he's on, and I'll handicap
the team, and I'll handicap, you know, and I'll give
me a game they're playing.
Speaker 1: I'll handy aff the game.
Speaker 6: But where, like, what's in Lebron's mind as to what
I want to do this offseason?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Andy, do you know? Does Daniel? Does
Lebron know? None of us know.
Speaker 6: So to me, it's a you know, that's the kind
that's not a question I expect from you, Andy, That's
a question I expect from a casual guy.
Speaker 1: Oh oh actual, Now all right, whoa.
Speaker 2: I like you guys are already oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well this casual mopped up in darts yesterday. Teddy lived
lives the darts life. No bulls eye finished. Those who
know you know, uh, Ski prophet is in the is
in the house. He settled down on the LJ crier
slander shout out enough.
Speaker 6: But nonetheless, if you're a Warriors fan, you think we're
gonna win playoff series?
Speaker 1: LJ Cryer is not the guy you want on the floor.
Speaker 2: Nope, nope, nope, Dodgers. All right, all right, Dana from here,
I'm ready.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: I liked I liked Teddy talking a little smack there
heading into the sell me segment because I think maybe
he's easter trying to get Andy off his game there
a little bit. Yeah, he already, he already said Dodgers
for you. Dodgers is the answer, John, uh So, So
let's do sell me, guys. I got a great one
for you here today. How about a sixteen point favorite
here as the Grizzlies are taking on the Piston's Pistons
laying sixteen and a half. The other day we talked
about Pistons laying big numbers. Hasn't quite really worked out
for him. Well, unfortunately, Teddy, you're gonna tell me why
this Pistons team because I want you to ingratiate yourself
to the Detroit office. Tell me why they should be
laying sixteen. And Andy, you get to tell me who
the hell is even playing for the Grizzlies and why
you should take sixteen. And we'll let you know how
you can win a free three day pass depending on
who you agree with, but Teddy sell me.
Speaker 1: On the Detroit Pistons laying sixteen.
Speaker 6: Oh, making a case for the Pistons is not hard
right now? All right, Detroit had that it was short,
but it was ugly. They had that four game skid.
They lost to the Cavs, the Spurs, then the Heat
and the Nets. And since that four game skid, what
have they done? A the game against the Brooklyn where
they lost. I forget whether they lived by twenty something
in that game and let it slip away, and they're like,
we gotta focus. We're gonna play forty eight minutes. We're
gonna play and not care about what the score is.
Was the quote that I saw yesterday. We're not going
to care about what the score is. We just want
to keep playing our brand of basketball. And what have
they done since that four games get ended? They beat
Brooklyn by thirty eight, and last night they beat Philly
by twenty two, and they did not stop with the execution.
So they're facing a Grizzlies team that has nobody taller
than six seven right now, getting minutes, you know, the
Troyal will win.
Speaker 1: The toyll get every.
Speaker 6: Rebound in this game and there's the sharp money, by
the way, is flooding on the Pistons. Nothing but Pistons money.
Pistons are focused, motivated, and vastly superior. If I'm playing,
I'm laying, mister Lange.
Speaker 3: The second I said tell me sixteen and a half,
I knew I was going to get a play in
or lay and playing.
Speaker 1: I'm laying out of Teddy Covers.
Speaker 3: Well, Andy, Grizzlies, I don't know any of these players,
but you're gonna tell me why we're taking sixteen with
them here, brother.
Speaker 2: All that sharp money is doa dead on arrival.
Speaker 1: Look for this.
Speaker 2: Look for this Grizzlies team to cover for the Grizzlies.
It it's not been their their offense that's been the problem.
It's been the defense. Look at some of these numbers
their offensive scoring. One hundred and twelve against Dallas, won
twenty nine against Philly, one fifteen against Brooklyn, won twenty
against La. This is a team that constantly puts up
one hundred and ten plus points. And yeah, the Pistons
they put up one thirty one and one thirty eight
in their last couple of games. But before that is
a team that doesn't have a true number two score
before that one ten against Miami, one O five against Brooklyn, win,
O six against San Antonio, one O nine against Cleveland.
It's Cad Cunningham or bust. And if Duncan Robinson is
not shooting lights out from three, you really don't have
a big time score. This is a classic case where
the Pistons are probably gonna win. They're on a back
to back. What a lazy spot. You come off of
beating Brooklyn and then this depleted Philly team, You get Memphis,
and now you gotta go on the road for Toronto,
Washington Way, Washington, Golden State. This is gonna be a
lazy spot where you mind your minutes as a coach.
You just get the win and you get out of town.
Detroit the easy money line winner. But this Grizzlies team
is going to put up one hundred and ten points.
They're gonna lose by about ten. All that sharp money, Nah,
give me the Grizzlies plus sixteen.
Speaker 3: M All right, well, let us know who you agree with.
Comment below, Teddy, if you think you should be laying,
if you think you should be taking comment below, Andy.
Make sure you include your way you talk user name
and that's your chance, folks, to win a free three
day flex press whichever side covers. If you were on
that right side, boom, you're entered in to win a
free three.
Speaker 1: Day flex pass. Yes, stop stopping, good, I'll done. That's
a good one, good one, well done.
Speaker 3: All about his bills, indeed, well, Teddy's been all about
the bills for the clients as of late, Teddy, what

on that one.
Speaker 2: Don't you hate it when the guest? You hate it
when the host is muted?
Speaker 3: Oh, it was such a good promo for Teddy's Tips too,
God damn it. Well, Teddy, Well done, my friend.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.
Speaker 3: Best of luck, and I'm glad that the microphone is
finally working here. Yeah, I was just mentioning that, Yeah,
he goes live with this. He's been working hard, super easy, folks.
If you hit that subscribe button, boom, you're gonna know
when Teddy's Tips go live. When Marco's Deli goes live,
which is one of the hottest shows here in football
season and college basketball season. Speaking of which, let's bring
in Marco, who's fresh off that five percent cash last night.
He's not feeling fat and sassy.
Speaker 1: He's feeling like, Hey, I'm ready to just do it again, Marco.
How are we doing? Brother?
Speaker 5: Well, guys, the reason I have no hair.
Speaker 8: Okay, we had Clemson last night there eight with a
minute fifteen left in the game, never sweating that game,
and then all of a sudden we got to have
a sweat at the and that's why we love this game.
Speaker 7: But yeah, the Clemson held on for the victory for us.
For the five percent, We've been running good with both
the five percent and the four percent forty three and
twenty three, going back two plus years on the five
percent and those four percent players are on a twenty
three and ten run the last thirty three. We will
have a four percent up later today. We'll be posting
it shortly after we're done with today's show. So running good,
knock on wood, keep it going. It's been fun into
keeping the dog name theory of today. Well, you know,
I'm a sport's better obviously, but my second well one
of my second hobbies is playing poker.
Speaker 5: So my dog is Chip, as in poker, Chip.
Speaker 1: All in on Chip. I like it. I like it, Marco.
Speaker 3: Let us know, folks, any other Vegas themed dog names.
Speaker 1: Comment below.
Speaker 3: We'll be bringing putting on some of the best on
Monday's show, but three strong ones already crossed off the
list from Marco, from Teddy and of course VR's new
entrant with Jack Pott who joined us live on the program.
All right, Marco, well, I'm gonna give you a little
PTSD because you said we were sweating on that Clemson game.
That's the game I want you to break down first
because it's fresh in your mind, then your clients' minds.
As we cashed in last night, let's do it again
here free breakdown on the Clemson Tigers is now going
up against the toughest foe yet top rank here with
the Duke Blue Devils. It's a big number here, Marco,
How are you looking to bet this one?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Guys, And you know what, And I'm gonna talk about
a couple angles. You guys always want to say things
that you want to look at when you're doing you're
handicapping in the tournaments, and we've got one of them
in each of these games. And what I'm gonna talk
about in this one is, obviously I was on Clemson yesterday.
The reason I was on Clemson, Yes, they already had
a game under their belt and they were playing a
North Carolina team that hadn't played yet a lot of
times people automatically think that those teams with the bye
is a huge advantage. I don't think so. I like
to look at live teams that played the night before
because they got the butterflies out, they got to play
on the floor, they got to experience. You know, they're
playing in a different building. You know, maybe the sight
lines are different.
Speaker 1: And we talked last.
Speaker 7: Week about sightlines and things being different in the Big twelve.
And yeah, that experiment lasted a long time, as you
guys talked about at the top of the show. So
I liked Clemson in that spot last night. Well you
had dupe. They were one of those teams that had
to buy what happened. They come in all fat and
sassy yesterday and almost lost to Florida State. Now here's
the second part of one of those angles. I love
when a good team gets that scare. Why because it
is the wake up call. It's like staying at the hotel.
You get that call, good morning, mister Dangel, this is
your wake up call. Well, Duke got it yesterday. You'll
see their best effort today in Clemson. Now, this is
three games in three days for them. The advantage switches
to Duke. I'm gonna go ahead and lay it with
Duke in this one. Clemson had to hold on for
dear life, as we said at the end of yesterday's game.
But I'm gonna go with Duke and I'll lay the
number with them. I'll steal Teddy's line. If I'm playing,
I'm laying and I'm laying it with Duke.
Speaker 3: Marco, you cashed in last night, another five percent winner.
You said at the top. It's been a great run,
especially on those top rated plays, but even all plays
thirty and fifteen. So as we head into this weekend,
and we're gonna break down this Houston game in just
a second. But I mean, there's March Maddeness special. This
is a no brainer. You've already you know you're missing
out that you haven't bought it all ready because you're
all access and starts the second that you buy. But still, Marco,
we're heading into March Maddness. Obviously still some conference tournament action.
So one forty nine hop in right now, right.
Speaker 7: That's the way to go, because you know, if you're
gonna do it daily, you're gonna spend at least twenty
five dollars a day.
Speaker 5: Why do that.
Speaker 7: When you can go all the way through the championship game.
Get every college basketball play that I release, guys, And
we've been on a run with all of our plays.
It hasn't been just those big plays. We're up forty
seven to forty eight units now over the last thirty
five days, actually forty eight units with a fifty one
and thirty two record. So jump on board. Ride it
in the most important part, especially in these tournament games,
where you see these lines move quickly. When you're an
all access customer, the minute we release you get the play. Okay,
we put it in a system. You're gonna get an
email sent to you right away. You know we've loaded,
you know who we're on. You can run and get
it before the market adjusts, because you know when we're
having success. We've seen these numbers start to move, So
be ahead of those numbers also, guys. One programming note.
Normally I would be telling you, guys, tune in for
the Deli. Unfortunately, no Delhi this week. And the reason
for that is I can't give you tomorrow's games. If
I get preview tomorrow's games for you right now, I
probably wouldn't be talking to you. I'd be on a
beach somewhere because we would know who won all the
games today. So no Delhi this week, but we're back
with Marco's Deli next week. We'll preview and if it's
going to work out perfectly, give you a double promo
here because we'll be back with bet on It next week.
We're gonna cover the Thursday and Friday games for you.
Speaker 3: When we do bet on It next week.
Speaker 5: But what about Saturday.
Speaker 7: Well that's great because the games that will be played
on Thursday, we'll come back and play on Saturday. Guess what,
I'll cover that for you in the deli on Friday
when we post it for the Saturday game. So no
Delhi this week. We'll say we're on a diet this week,
No big fat subs for you. We'll get you back
next week with the deli. And the deli's been rolling, guys,
so don't miss out.
Speaker 3: Well, it's Friday, Marco, you know, is a Pittsburgh and
we gotta eat fish on Fridays. There ain't no fish
in the deli that anybody wants to be eating, that's
for damn sure.
Speaker 2: So wait, wait, hold on, what was that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, you don't know so like the Catholic thing,
which you know, Pittsburgh, big time Irish Catholic spots, so
you're not allowed to eat meat on Fridays and lengthy,
so the whole entire thing. Andy, I don't want to
take up Marco's time, but I think the whole thing
is ridiculous because it was never in the Bible that
you can't eat meat on Fridays. It was when the
fishing industry was going south and they were like, hey,
we need to sell some more fish, and they were like,
all these Catholics will buy in. So I could blow
be eight for for for hours on on how ridiculous
that whole thing is. But yeah, the Deliah. Nobody want
the file of fish sandwiches from Marco's Delhi.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much, Marco.
Speaker 5: But here's the power move.
Speaker 7: If you don't want to go fish on Friday and
you can't have meat and you're from Pittsburgh, you can
go pogis.
Speaker 8: Okay, Oh you know, so okay, that's the power move.
Speaker 3: I got, I got, I got parogis in the freezer,
and I know exactly what I'm doing after this, Marco,
for sure. But before we get to that, we still
have you know your wdflfg Andy and I want to
let you know about our let It Ride special, But
Marco is going to tell you about this Kansas and
Houston game.
Speaker 1: Two great games you had to break down, man, because
that's the part of the year that we're in. These
were all going to be great games moving forward.
Speaker 3: Here the Jayhawks getting five and a half, this total
right around one thirty four and a half.
Speaker 1: How are you looking to bet this one, Marco another favorite?
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you've got two teams here, obviously, two elite teams.
Houston has been, you know, one of the most consistent
teams over the last three four years. The deep run
last year. But here's another thing to look at with
the conference tournaments.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: It doesn't apply so much in the Big Dance next week,
but in the conference tournaments because it does. This is
the only time during the year where teams are gonna
play two, three, four days in a row.
Speaker 3: You've got to look at depth.
Speaker 7: And this is a problem for Kansas.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 7: Kansas really only plays six deep. Okay, and that six
deep is including Peterson, which you never know what you're
gonna get from Peterson. If you're gonna get a full
game from them last night. They are two studs. Peterson
in council had to play thirty seven and forty minutes
to get the job done last night. I think that's
gonna be a problem in this game late against Houston
and Houston goes deeper and deeper bench. But I'm also
going to look at the revenge angle here.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: I know we talk about revenge, and I say it
all the time. It's one of the most overused phrases
in sports betting. But you've got to look at situations. Okay,
when these teams played during the regular season, that's another
angle that I use in conference tournament. Was there something
different about that game? Was there an outlier in that game?
Did one team go to the line a gazillion times
or something like that, or was there something in the scheduling. Well,
there definitely was something in the scheduling. In the first meeting,
when Houston played Kansas at Kansas, that was the third
game in an eight day period. In that eight day period,
they played on the road at Iowa State on Big Monday.
That game, if you remember, it, low scoring, physical game,
back and forth. Houston had the lead most the way
Iowa State rallied at the end, got the seventy sixty
seven win. Okay, that was a tough game. What do
they follow that up with? Oh, Arizona comes to town
number two, Arizona, they play tough game against Arizona. They
lose that game on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: What do they gotta do.
Speaker 7: They're gonna turn around and go right back out on
the road and go to Kansas for another big Monday tilt.
And we've talked about these games where they're the Friday games,
the Monday games, those standalone TV games. How the home crowd,
it's a big deal. That was a tough three game
stretch and Kansas took advantage of them. I don't see
that happening here. And I'll also look at that game
yesterday with Kansas. As I talked about how they had
to use all their players and stay in that game
for all those minutes, there was an outlier in that
game that helped Kansas advance. They had an edge of
thirty seven to eighteen at the file line. You go
to the with an edge like that, you're supposed to
win that game. I look for Houston to get the
job done.
Speaker 5: I like them.
Speaker 7: They're a strong, physical defensive team. They're gonna make Kansas
work for every possession in this game, and I think
that's gonna take its toll in the second half. Give
me Houston lay the points with them. I'll go ahead
and take them to get the revenge tonight in for
Houston to move on to Saturday.
Speaker 2: Marco D'Angelo, Marco, I have something to share with you.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: There is in a small town called Whiting, Indiana, it
is parogy Fest every year. Oh man, and this picture
is accurate. I've been many times, my buddies. It's it's
two miles long of tents with parogis and and and
uh now what now if you look kind of in
the background here, uh in the background is Gary, Indiana,
not the best part of the country, but the progis
are fantastic. And Whiting, Indiana is known for people drive
around on their lawnmowers.
Speaker 3: Ah, this is this is If they didn't have ain't
nobody would be living in Whiting, Indiana, is what it
sounds like to me.
Speaker 2: They have a progy parade where everybody in the town
drives their riding lawnmower right.
Speaker 3: Down the middle of pArg warms your heart, doesn't it, Marco, the.
Speaker 1: Real thing that happens.
Speaker 2: So Marco, we need to get you, uh to Parogi Fest.
And the best part about parogy Fest is on this
block there is one liquor store and uh they sell
single cans of beer in in brown paper back so
everybody is just walking around with beer in brown paper bags.
That liquor store probably makes ninety eight percent of its
money on this three days.
Speaker 7: Like Mike Colluns of town. And definitely a festival. I've
been to ribbed festivals, a wing fest. I have not
gone to a parogi festival yet. That would be a first.
And you know, I got to see if I can
squeeze that in some touch, So it's definitely got.
Speaker 5: To do that.
Speaker 3: Block doesn't know what a parogy is, your sheltered block, Marco,
what's a parogi?
Speaker 2: Explain it?
Speaker 7: It's basically the best thing to categorize it to is
think of a ravioli. Okay, it's Doe Yer Okay, you know,
and you can get him with you know, potato, cheese,
meat person. I love the sauer Kraft parogis. You know,
I know a lot of people don't like, right, Yeah,
you know, I get the end. You gotta put it.
Some people boil them, some people pan uh sautee. I
go for the pan saute with onions. You've got to
get the you know, cook them in butter. Just get
get them cook with the onions.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 5: Oh that's it now I gotta get progies today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously, Marco.
Speaker 2: Even have dessert. You can stuff them with like berries
and like it's blocked. You are missing out if you
have not had a legit parogi. They are just incredible.
Speaker 3: And and here's what I'll say to bring it all
full circle. You know you want to dive into some parogi's. Yeah,
that that college basketball bonanza that we have going on
with March Madness. Check out Marco WT dot buzz slash
m D. He continues this thirty and fifteen run in
All Sports, and he's on. You can buy a hell
of a lot of parogis, folks, so check them out
WT buzz backslash m D.
Speaker 1: Marco, thanks for waiting on. We are preciate you man,
and the best of luck this weekend. Brother.
Speaker 5: All right, guys, see you next week. Have let's catch
some tickets and eat some parogis.
Speaker 1: Parogi's on Marco. Here we go Parogi's on Marco.
Speaker 3: Indeed, baby, And yeah, as he said, no Deli this week, Andy,
but you get an addition to bet on It. They're
doing a March Maddness bet on It edition, so you'll
get best bets Thursday and Friday from Marco, from Kelly
and Vegas, from Yanni to Greek. So we got to
a bet on It special coming your way next week.
So you're gonna miss out on the deli, but bet
on its back, baby, at least for a little bit
of March Madness.
Speaker 2: So love it, love it all right. We're starting a
new let It Ride mission. Let's talk about that. So yesterday,
great day for clients, Dan, thank you very much. Catch
the four percent lacrosse play. We catched our four percent
uh darts play. And this is what we do. Like
we want to bet on college basketball, go for it.
We're going to be your go to shop for betting
on these sports that you're probably not aware of. And Seth,
uh Seth.
Speaker 1: But by the.
Speaker 2: Way, Seth makes the best beef jerky on the on
the face of the planet, no joke. Seth did the
let It Ride mission with us, and he got refunded
from Colin Morikawa, and he rolled it all over into
the play today.
Speaker 3: So Seth is that's what I'm going to be doing
as well. So like you're at as the well because
I got it refunded, Andy, So it's like the ladder
still continues for me. But for all intents and purposes,
if you didn't get your bet refunded, then you've been
rolling with our let it ride challenge. It would be
disingenuous if we were.
Speaker 1: Like, well, we go to our bit voided.
Speaker 3: So for all intents and purposes, we'll start at the
bottom ladder. We'll start again with one hundred. But for me, Andy,
I'm putting what we were at three eighteen something like that.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm rolling on over to it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that bet is up at wager Talk, but
because it's the first one, I put it up at
a sports Memo for only seven dollars. So if you
want to join in mission seven dollars, it gets you
the play. It starts late tonight. It is a parla,
So it's basically the latter challenge. We bet one. When
we hit this one, we ride the profits and we
roll it over into the next one. So we're not
gonna do every day, because I think that's silly and
I don't think we can hit ten days in a row.
But we are going to do is just hit this
one tonight, So go grab that that's up there. We've
got UFC, we got Formula one. It's a Formula one
in NASCAR weekend. So really excited about all that. We'll
probably have an NBA prop for tonight. And we gave
you some some free stuff at the beginning of the show.
So Dan, how's the cross looking for this weekend?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a I mean it's a huge board, Andy,
so there's a lot that we have to perse into.
I'll give you one for free here on the way
out because there's only there's only one. So this will
be our WTFLFG over at Draftings is where you can
get this and lay three with Merrill and this weekend,
and that's something I'm going to be betting myself. But
the fact that you know it's only at one book,
I would feel bad if we're putting that to clients
and not everyone can get down because it's three and
a half elsewhere, folks, this is probably going to close
more like four to four.
Speaker 2: And a half.
Speaker 3: That's the correct number. So the fact that we're getting
three or laying three. They're playing Virginia this weekend. Virginia
just is not your grandfather's Virginia team.
Speaker 1: They were.
Speaker 3: It was Maryland and Uva. Those were the two premier programs,
and it's just not that anymore. Uva hasn't beat a
ranked opponent in nearly three full seasons. Now they're playing
a Maryland team who's kind of sputtering out of the gate.
They're two and three, but the games that they've lost
have been to games like Princeton and Notre Dame. These
are teams that likely you're going to be talking about
come Final four. And when you look at the games
that Maryland wins, and this is one that I think
Maryland money line sure, that's a fine parlay piece because
I think they win this game And the reason why
I like laying three with them is when they win,
they win big. The two wins that they have on
the year, it was a nine point win and a
five point win, and that was.
Speaker 1: Against pretty good competition.
Speaker 3: This is also a rivalry game, and typically, oh you
want to respect your rival. No, these two teams, whenever
they have the chance to blow each other out they
do it, and I think that's what you're getting. Maryland
has to go on a two game road trip. This
is all hands on deck. Let's blow out uva, let's
get the bad taste out of our mouth. You can
lay three with Maryland. It's a hell of a great
moneyline parlay piece if you're looking for something like that.
But three three and a half I'm fine with. But
lay the three with Maryland. That's our WTF or LFG.
We will have client plays locked and loaded.
Speaker 2: Love it. Grab that by three days, get three days free.
It's over WT dot buzz slash al having a really
really nice week yesterday was really really good for us,
so looking to continue that. So thanks for much for
joining us. Guys. We have a big, big weekend of plays.
We're gonna be back, same time, same place on Monday.
Get you ready for next week, So don't forget to
go to wager Talk dot com or Sportsmemo dot com
every day seven dollars plays over there and again seven
dollars get you the very first leg of our ladder Channes.
Or if you're like Dan and Seth, you have the
utmost faith in us. We ride, We ride together. We
die together, bad boys for life.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: Thanks very much, guys, and again, put your wager Talk
user name in the comments section. If you agree with Andy,
if you agree with Teddy on tonight's game between the
Pistons and the Grizzlies, and somebody will get a three
day pass, it might as well be you. Thanks very
much for joining us, guys. Good luck on your bets.
We'll see you Monday. Take care,
