Speaker 1: Welcome to Way Did You Talk Today, the gold standard
of sports betting shows where he talked the talk and
walk the Walk. It's Thursday. Great mix, great mix of
guests and sports. We got some current action in NFL,
we got college football, we got NBA excited about today's show.
Being joined as always by my good friend Dan Dan,
who we got on Who's Who's on the show today?
Who's gonna bring it home on this Thursday?
Speaker 2: Well, we know that Yanni who usually does his Steam
Report right at the top, He's at a wedding in Philadelphia.
I'm sorry, folks. Awesome Johnny also has a life and
has has things to do, but he will be back
for Steam Reports. But guess what, we didn't lose anything
because we got Steve Merrill filling in for him. He's
gonna go over some new features on the Odds Logic
site that you can maybe start doing your own Steam reports, folks.
So we're gonna talk about that with Steve at the top.
He's also got to play for you in some college
football action tomorrow. We'll talk Bill's jaggeduars as well, and
a little NBA play Cavaliers timber Wolves coming from Steve
and then the great Joe Rinary joining us. He'll talk
the other game, the one that is going tonight, that's
Miami taking on Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl. Rams
panthers his thoughts on the biggest favorite on the NFL
Wildcard slate. And then he gave us that nice winner
on the Heat last week. He's gonna talk heat and bowls.
The Heat actually a favorite this time, so he lay points?
Does he take points? We'll find out with Joe Rnari
and then Andy, you and I him a little deep dive,
a little look back, if you will. We were gonna
do this on on New Year's where we were gonna
take stock in what happened in twenty twenty five, look
forward to what's coming in twenty twenty six. But with
two guests today, it's a great way to do it today.
So join us in the comments with that. It's gonna
be a hell of a show. Andy and Brentford three
to zero win. Oh what a sweat? Oh eleven on
the free plays here, baby, let's keep it rolling.
Speaker 1: Absolutely crushed him.
Speaker 3: Lot.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I forgot the game was in the afternoon
when cha.
Speaker 2: You logged on and saw the score and you were like, man, yeah,
I guess you could have even laid the handicap, could
have laid the Asian handicap the goal in three quarters
if you if you will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why is it called an Asian handicap?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: If it feels it feels icky, you could just call
it a socks soccer. I think it's because that's how
that's how all of their lines typically go in, like
Asian sports betting, as you can bet quarter lines.
Speaker 5: But regardless, you know, I.
Speaker 2: Don't like it. It makes me feel weird.
Speaker 1: When I say it. It is weird. So all right,
you know who's not weird? Steve Merrill?
Speaker 5: No, yeah, I'm so glad that you didn't bring me
in thirty seconds sooner because I'd so many.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no that we know better than that.
Speaker 5: Don't call it an Oriental handicap. That's not appropriate. That's
what it was called thirty years ago. And there's so
many things we could do here though, But it's so
funny when Dan said Asian handicap and sat weird with
me too. I was like, what the hell is Dan doing? Like,
what the hell are you talking?
Speaker 6: What are we doing?
Speaker 5: Why is he picking on half the world? Right, now
quarter lines. I still I've been doing this thirty years.
I'm not a big soccer better in the other sports,
and I probably should know this, and I've learned it
three or four times, but the whole quarter life still
confuses the hell out of me.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, there for Carmine, I would still not He's had
to explain it to me like four times. I think
I finally get this vaguely. At least you're splitting your
bet between two different bets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will never forget when live on air I
had to explain to Teddy what the same game parlay
was really that was. Yeah, he's in Vegas. He's in Vegas.
He doesn't get so they had no idea what He
was like, what's the same game parlay.
Speaker 2: Well, that's.
Speaker 5: The same game Asian parlay. Don't even start me on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then you're screwed on that one. No, But I
remember that show because Teddy, of course, he's more traditional
better you know, he's a sides and totals kind of guy,
dabbles a little bit in player props here and there.
But I remember he was like, Andy, you won't be
able to put those those options together. But in the
same game, and Andy was like, old, let me break
something down for you. There's something that these people tell
us to bet our entire bank roll on, and that
is same game parlay draft gings. And Andela's like, please
bet these same game parlays. And Andy cracked the code
on betting them SGP.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he doesn't play for the thunder, but it's an SGP.
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, we got some huge games. And thank
you for jumping in. Last second. Yanni is celebrating the
institution of marriage today. Not he's not getting married, but
he celebrated people. Now, all right, Oregon in Indiana. Remember
I went to IU, be very very careful with how
you break this game down. My Hoosiers are three and
a half favorite over under forty eight. I'm just kidding.
Tell us your real opinion. How do you break this
big game down?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 5: I've got a standalone video for this game went up
a couple of days ago, nice and early, so people
want to deep dive, full ten minute deep dive into
this one. Check out the video here on Wait You
Talk TV. I've also got a video for tonight's Thursday
night matchup between Ole Miss and Miami, So that one
is also available deep dive in that Joe's going to
go over that game in a moment. As I said
in the video, I've had Indiana as my number one
team now for several months. I had them as ranked
higher than Ohio State when they played. People that watched
that video will called it. I like the Hoosiers. In fact,
I use them as a best bet for my clients
as a live dog. They won that game outright, So
I am a believer in Indiana. And you know, obviously
Oregon is a very good team too. In fact, I
think this is basically the national championship game. Whoever wins
this game will be favored over the Miami Ole Miss
winner next week. So this is these are the two
best teams remaining, and Oregon is a very solid opponent.
But Indiana is the best team in the country. I
rate them as the stronger offensive and defensive team in
this game. I rate them as the best offense and
defensive team, or many of anybody in the final four.
Line is a little pricey, though. My ten thousand game
simulation has Indiana by about two so at three and
a half you are paying a premium. I would have
liked it more at minus three or less, very key number.
But we even see a four floating around in one
of the sharpest global books, Three and a Half's Juice,
So I don't think we're getting down of that key
number of three. In fact, if you like Indiana, you
probably should play three and a half, because there are
some fours showing. If you like Oregon, maybe shop around
and wait, get that plus four might be available by
kickoff tomorrow night on Friday. I will point out this
is a rematch, of course, from the regular season, and
another thing historically that actually doesn't favor Indiana here is
that the rematch teams normally they lose the second time out.
We saw Old Mis get Georgia last week. If I'm
not mistaken, I think there's been six rematches the last
couple of years in this playoff format, and the only
time that the team has swept was when Old Miss
beat Tulane in the first round this year, and of
course they were a two and a half touchdown favorite,
so it's not like that was something special. Otherwise, the
revenge teams are five and oh recently, including Old Miss
against Georgia last week. With that said, though, I'm not
gonna let that steer me towards Oregon because Indiana won
that game. Legit, they outplayed Oregon on the road. They
were actually a seven point dogen. So here again a
pretty big line adjustment. You take maybe, say what two
three points out for home field. That line was say
four and a half, it's now three and al we're
talking about about an eight point adjustment, a full touchdown
adjustment from just a few months ago. But it's warranted
because Indiana is the best team in the nation. And
the other thing I'll point out as well is that
we talk about how bad those teams with the BIB
have done the last two years. They're one in seven
straight up the last two years with this twelve team format,
the team that had the extended layoff has gone one
in seven. Well, the one team that didn't go oh
and seven was Indiana, and they won b over thirty points,
so they were in a terrible situation. Historically the other
teams were oh and seven and they still won by
over thirty. I think this is a really powerful team.
Signetti is an incredible coach. What he did at James
Madison he's carried right over to Indiana the last two
years and I'd rather have the better team on both
sides of the ball in a basic, straight up win situation,
if you're going to play it, I would lay it
with the Indiana Hoosiers. Andy langs Indiana Hoosiers at seven
thirty Eastern Friday night on the ESPN, Let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm going with all my Yeah, I'm going to hang
out with all my college buddies tomorrow to watch them.
We're still just on text threads, like I can't believe
we're getting together to watch you in the National Championship
semi final.
Speaker 5: This And did you see some of the numbers? I
saw this the other day. I forgot to mention this
in my video and I don't have them in front
of me. But since the history of Indiana football, which
is I make over one hundred years, maybe I think
they their long term win percentage in like over the
last centuries, like forty two percent or something. I've been
ranked as it was a top five I think for
like a combined seven weeks in one hundred years or something.
And they've been top five eleven weeks the last two
seasons or something. That's how much of a shocking change
this has been. And I know, it feels weird, but
then you look at what they did, you know, to
Ohio State, what they've done to some other good teams,
and what they did to Oregon in that game on
the road. They just continue to win. Oregon, by the way,
is one eighth straight and they've covered six or the
last say they're a really good team as well. So
nothing would surprise me here. But I do think that
this is the national championship game.
Speaker 1: I've told people this story so my senior year. I
don't know why we tried to do this. They made
their homecoming game against Ohio State when Ohio State was
number one, and they hyped. They hyped the campus and
the students up for a week come out support the team.
We got something special playing and I'll never forget. It
was like thirty five degrees, it was drizzling rain, and
Ohio State ran the opening gickoff like right down our
throats down to the twenty and I think everyone was
gone by halftime. That's my That is my memory of
what IU football is, and so to now just see
where we are is crazy. I wanted to ask you
about the line movement because I think there's a lot
of people that would say, well, you have to play
Oregon because just earlier in the season, IU was the
big underdog, right, you can't have this big of a
line swing, So you know you're getting the best of
the Oregon number. What do you like? What's your take
on looking at it from that perspective?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I talk a lot about the preseason numbers.
I do that in my NFL videos a lot because
we hadbedable lawns on air single NFL game back in
you know, June, July August, and people always say, you
know why you mentioned that, Seve, It's not worthwhile. Now
it's like, well, attention to see the perception of how
teams have overachieved or underachieved, and we get those in
college football, we get look ahead lines as well. One
thing I've noticed over the years, and I back tested this,
is that just blindly taking that difference of say two touchdowns,
like in a college football game in October versus what
it was in August, does not make you money because
the line was just wrong back then. And this is
a situation like that. Because that line was just wrong
back in October, Indiana was the better team. The better
teams should never be getting seven points on the road,
and they prove that it is a little bit of
an adjustment because it's not like Oregon has played worse since.
In fact, Oregon, as I mentioned, is one eight straight
since that loss, and they've gone six and two against
the spread. I will point out though, that Oregon was
a double digit favorite in every game but three the
games they weren't a double digit favorite. They only beat
Iowa on the road by two. They did beat Washington
on the road by double digits and cover. And of
course they beat Texas Tech last week, and we'll talk
about that real quick for one turnover edge and Texas
Tech was off that extended layoff. You know, we have
to be so careful to overreact to last week's games
because we've seen now for two years in a row,
the teams with the extra time off have gone one
and seven and it's not a fluke. College football is
so offensive oriented, passing, precision, explosive offense like Texas Tech
does not benefit from the layoff. And once again, who
was the one team that came out and bucked that trend.
It was Indiana and they did it with authoritie by
thirty five points. So yes, it's an extended line move,
and like I said, I make it a round two.
So I would have liked to have gotten that key
number of three instead of three and a half. But
I wouldn't read too much into it. They were the
better team a few months ago into the better team.
Speaker 1: Now we move on to the NFL. We've got a
massive game, Bill's Jags. There's a lot of We've talked
about this game a lot. Is this the two best teams?
Is this a game featuring the two best teams in
the AFC? I mean the line is one and a half.
I mean it's kind of based on in some spots. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
over unders fifty one and a half. This is at Jacksonville.
Interested in your take, I've heard a little bit of
everything on this game. What say you? What do you
like in this one?
Speaker 5: Well, I will say my first reaction when I saw,
you know, Jacksonville having such an incredible season, I was like,
they're a phony team. They have no playoff experience. I
don't think they're as good as their record. In fact,
they even had a chance of the one seed going
into the final week a week ago. With that said, though,
as I dug into this game more. I think you
got to be cautions with Buffalo. I mean I stick
back to Week one, you know, when they had a
one percent chance of winning with four and a half
minutes to go against Baltimore and that Sunday night opener
found a way to do it down what was it
twenty one to nothing against New England a few weeks ago,
found a way to come back. Buffalo's defense is still
very suspect, and this should be a high scoring game.
And you look at the total open fifty one and
a half, it's still hovering around fifty one and a
half fifty two. I point that out because fifty one
is a key number, about a three to four percent
chance this game lands exactly fifty one. A lot of
margins get us there. Obviously, thirty one to twenty forty
one to ten. I don't think we'll get that score,
but there's a lot of margins that gets you to
fifty one. Twenty seven to twenty four one way the
other is probably the most likely outcome in this game.
Also a little surprised that Buffalo is not more of
a public side in this game, a lone opened one.
As Dan pointed out, there are some pick coms out
there now and for some of the publican senses, I
look at as actually leaning towards Jacksonville a little bit.
So the public seems to be a believer in the
Jags here, which surprised me a little bit. But I
think it's hard to make a case of the under
in this game. Yes, playoff football, playoff basketball, whatever sport
has more defensive intensity, but I'm just not sure these
teams are that great on the defensive side of the ball.
You look at the Bills once again this season. They're
average at every twenty eight points a game. Jacksonville's averaging
that twenty eight points a game. Both teams can move
the football. Bills are a below average defense. They gave
up twenty one and a half points a game this
year against teams that's averaged about twenty one and a
half points. They gave up five point five yards per
play against teams that average just five point four. Jacksonville
is actually the better defensive team, give enough five point one.
They played a fairly week schedule as well, And the
real difference here is while Jacksonville is a decent defense statistically,
Buffalo stops the pass well, but they do not defend
the run. Well, they're giving up over five yards of carry,
and that's a problem. In the NFL playoffs, you've got
to be able to play smash mouth football dominate the
line of scrimmage. So I think this is a tight game.
And if you're going to play that total, since fifty
one and a half is such an ugly number, maybe
we start looking at a team total. Buffalo's priced at
about twenty six and a half Jacksonville twenty four and
a half, and that's kind of strange considering this game
is minus one. Even pick them in some spots. Now,
if you look around, there are some spots with less juice.
Jacksonville twenty six and a half. I like the Jags
team total up and over. I think they get to
twenty seven or more in this game. So twenty four
and a half juice or twenty six and a half
no juice not a big difference, because twenty five and
twenty six are definitely dead numbers. I think it'll be
a high scoring game. But if you're worried about Jacksonville
having a decent defense, just take them out of the
equation and play over that Bill's bad defense. Jacksonville at
home team total over twenty four and a half makes
some sense.
Speaker 1: I got a prop to run by you, Steve, because
you hit on it. This Bill's rush defense is just
truly one of the worst. Travis etn to have twenty
five plus rushing yards in each half plus one twenty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think another thing to point out is,
I know Trevor Lawrence is, you know, a college football
experience quarterback, but he's not an NFL playoff experience quarterback.
And at home, I think you're gonna probably maybe be
a little conservative. And that's another reason why the full
game over maybe makes you a little nervous. It could
be a slow start and that means they're going to
run the ball. So and it's a competitive game. Also,
you know the running back props is, you know, Andy,
when you're getting blown out, worry in the second half
because you have to throw the ball. But this should
be a competitive game throughout. It's a pick on price.
I'm with you on that one. I think that's an
interesting way to slice it up.
Speaker 1: It's a huge day. We're going to get the Cavaliers
and Tim Rowls with first Televione. What you have up
at wager Talk I know you got a bunch of
free plays. What do you have for clients? Give us
the rundown? What videos do you have your video machine
on the YouTube cha give us a rundown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've done both of the NFL the both the
college football playoff games for Thursday and Friday. Those free
play videos are up.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: I'm going to do some NFL video starting today. And
I held off because I'm going to combine the fade
the public concept with all the game breakdowns and wanted
to get the most up to date public information. So
we'll definitely have the two games for Saturday, the three
games for Sunday, and then the standalone Monday night football game.
And I'm excited about Saturday Saturday's video. As we know,
we went fourteen and three on the prime games this
year in the NFL on Thursday Night and Dan's Eagles
on Friday actually would have been fourteen and two otherwise.
But the point is, I thought we were done with
prime games until I saw the TV schedule this week.
Bears Packers Saturday Night is a prime game, so we
have a chance to improve that to fifteen and three
in that Saturday video. And it's also the first time
ever I can combine playoffs with Prime in one video.
I'm so excited. Check it out here on wager Talk TV.
Click subscribe click the bill for alerts every single NFL
playoff game, including the Super Bowl free here on wager
Talk TV. I'm the only guy watching when it's Prime
time for Steve well Dad. They released the schedule last
Sunday night, like at eleven thirty at night. I'm watching it,
and I'm the only person that gets excited because I
was looking at the matchups seeing which days they were,
and I just they happened to have, like you know,
in little small fonts the networks, and for some reason,
I look, just because I mentioned in the videos, and
I see Prime on the Saturday night game. I'm like, yes,
I was like, that'll get people excited, because yeah, it's
been an incredible run, and now we get a Saturday
Prime game. The thrown to the mix, damn Eagles fourteen
and two if you take out his damn Thanksgiving Friday game,
which I had to pick.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, we we we all got over.
Speaker 5: Maybe I think i'd yeah.
Speaker 2: We all got burned on that one. Steve, we got
Joe coming up next. And I had to remove myself
from on air because Joe might have a little treat
for for folks coming up here on the show. But
Steve's got a treat for you right now, tucking Cleveland
Calves and the Minnesota Timberwolves. How are you betting this one?
It looks like Minnesota is floating around two and a
half point favorite Steve two thirty nine and a half. Oh,
how are you betting this one?
Speaker 5: So Monday, I came on and did two games here
with Andy and Dan in the NBA and Wager Talk Today,
and right after I did the breakdown of the Nuggets sixers,
it went from nine it was nine to twelve. It
went from twelve to fifteen because they were sitting. Gordon
Ann Murray closed it like seventeen. I'd given out the over,
which I was still okay with, and then of course
the Nuggets win outright in overtime is like a seventeen
point dog. The other game I broke down Monday was
Clippers Golden State. I mentioned the Clippers, and then about
an hour after I did that show, it was announced
that Hardy was not going to play, and that line
goes from minus one to three. The Clippers went outright.
So it just shows once again the injury information of
the NBA is so insane. If you just play against
those teams that are shorthanded, you do well. And I
bring that up because now lo and behold tonight, Anthony Edwards.
Injury management. I didn't know that was an injury. It's
injury management is the injury is questionable to play to
night against Cleveland and as I checked the Odds logic
screen live here at twelve twenty eastern, the game is
off the board in almost every location and started to
jump around, so we'll see what happens here. But hey, look,
I'll keep this one short and simple. If you play
the short handed teams in the NBA, you keep making money.
It continues to work, and I handicap these games basically
the same based on situational analysis. Who might be in
the lineup, Yes, is important, but if you look at
the recent years that you just play that shorthanded team,
it's amazing how well they do. And it was a
perfect two and zero playing the ugly underdogs the other night.
By the way, Donovan Mitchell as the Cavs is listed
as questionable to play tonight because of rest. So we
have both guys questionable in this game. What I will say,
if it turns out neither one plays, the total will
probably drop several points. And I actually come in and
play the overs a lot of times because as we
saw the other night with Denver, I don't have the
box scourt in front of me, but there were names
you would never recognize that had fifteen twenty points for
the Nuggets. These guys can score in their sleep. They're
all the best players from college basketball, the best players
in the world, and they all offensively can score when
they get the chance. You know, a lot of people
look at points and everything. I think some guys score
better than others. There's only one basketball, and there's only
forty eight minutes in a game, and when other guys
get a chance to touch that basketball more take more shots,
they often step up. Uh. For example, right now, Cleveland's
on a five to one underrun in their last six games.
You look at Minnesota, They've gone under in three of
their last five. We'll see where things settle this evening
with the total, with the player situation, But if both
of those guys are out, we've seen a total around
two thirty eight two thirty nine today, it's right about
two thirty eight and a half now being relisted. Don't
fear that over. I think this will be a playground
style basketball game with no defense in a lot of offense.
Speaker 1: Steve Merrill with breaking down the game with tidbitchs and
information that there's only one basketball preseasons.
Speaker 5: I should have started off this Cleveland Minnesota game with
preseason on handicap NBA preseason Yes, oh he has a
handicap that.
Speaker 1: Game all right, Well, Steve, I'm pretty sure Donovan Mitchell
will play tonight. He rested the other night.
Speaker 5: He did that was from the six. You're right, so
I mean that's another.
Speaker 1: Reason you should play. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yes, That's what's interesting to me, though, Andy, is that
we're still seeing Minnesota is a two two and a
half point favorite, which makes you wonder if Edwards is
playing right. So it's just difficult to know this early
in the day. But and that totals to be a
lot lower if he doesn't play.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the fate of this Cleveland team.
They just they can't put it together. They've been one
of the biggest underachievers this year. It's been really disappointing.
So I kind of get it. It's a Cleveland team
that it's just underwhelmed. H for sure. So Steve, great job,
Thank you for jumping in. Check him out over at
wager talk dot com. All those free play videos. It
gives you a continued luck on that. Uh that that
big prime run man, Steve. That's that's really cool, really fun.
So I mean, so technically the super Bowl is a
prime game, right.
Speaker 5: I think it's MB it's it's NBC. I believe they've
been promoting that as Olympics and everything.
Speaker 2: That got Peacock game. What's the record on Peacocks Peacock?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Peacock was what game was that last week?
It was one of those games. Yeah, us there too.
So the problem last year was like over seventy percent
the Thursday night football game last year and I didn't
even keep track of that, and then it started so
incredible this year. People kind of were keeping track of
it for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I need to be a little more aggressive
making more of those client best bets. It's one of
those things you love going, you know, I know, you
feel like you go fifteen and three, but it's like
I maybe made three. I think I went like three
and oh one of the best bets actually, but hey,
it's great. Thousands of people are getting building their bank roll,
and then it's it's always a good thing when we
learn and earn and win together. Here Dan Alexander on.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know it, you know it. Rob's already
in there. Let's earn, learn and earn together, Big Banks,
Steve Merrill, WT dot buzz Slash s M, and Andy.
Before we bring Joe in here, I do want to
mention because it's active on your page, on Joe's page,
I mean, this is a hell of a deal that
people can get seven days of acts as basically you're
paying for three days and you're getting four free. Is
essentially what you're getting with this deal. Seven days of
all access sixty nine dollars and you can get it
at any of these guys pages. Andy, what do you
got locked and loaded? The night before? We get a
three game breakdown from our man job.
Speaker 1: Sure, I think the hottest thing that we're running in
it right now is boxing. A few months ago we
sput on a boxing place. Well, yaan our cricket department
who is now our boxing department. He thunk it. He
came to me and said we need to put up
boxing places, so seven and one to start the boxing run,
and we have a four percent best bet and this
one's plus money. So that just went up on the
best part is Johnny Detroit said I can put him
up for half price, try and get a little bit
of audience going here. So it's only twelve dollars and
fifty cents for a four percent best bet. If you
want something more long term, which we always recommend, Promo
code Andy one hundred is still live. We had a
horrible night in the NBA. Everything I picked was a loser.
Leans didn't go well. Official plays didn't go well. So well,
this is why you get thirty days. If you just
got last night's plays, you're really mad at me. You
get thirty you get thirty days again, we got twenty
nine days. We can show you what we can do,
such as boxing, such as our NFL plays and things
like that. So promo cod Andy one hundred. But if
you just went the box and play it is half price.
That's a WT do buzz Slash al shows the prop
Line Show. First week of doing that going really well.
We almost hit a twenty four to one same game
parlay last night. We were a couple of points away. Yeah,
it was a good one. But our Jay in the chat,
he he did hit his same game parlay. We used
the same we use the same kind of thinking and
he hit his. So that's going really good. Golf show
starts next week, Dan, we will be breaking down golf.
We got a new guest that's going to join me,
and our Fantasy Golf league starts next week. If you
are interested in joining Fantasy Golf, put your email in
the comment section. It's a one and done. You pick
one golf for a week. That's it. We run it
every year. We've been doing it for like twelve years,
So if you want to play Fantasy golf, just put
it in the comment section. So a lot of good
stuff going on. Let's bring in Joe. Joe.
Speaker 2: Ah, Joe, Joe's gonna talk today.
Speaker 6: You like that? You like that out fit?
Speaker 7: I look at that, look at I had no idea
that they were playing today, I really did.
Speaker 2: Oh, this thing just fell out of my closet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, fell out of.
Speaker 6: Steve my leg.
Speaker 2: Well, Steve and Andy were talking. I was seeing Joe
trying to see how do I lay this perfectly and
drape this so they can see what I have for
a Uh yeah, I mean big time game that night. Joe,
I bet you never thought you would be here on
wager Talk today breaking down Miami and Old miss at
at the start of the season, and you're the man
who helped coin the term we're going to get crystal
ball is getting crystal ball to have a new meaning now, Joe.
Speaker 6: It does.
Speaker 7: It means if you're ranked, you're screwed, and that's pretty
much what we've watched Miami do here. Actually, last game
of the season against Pittsburgh, nobody thought that krystal ball
or Miami could win in cold weather on the road.
These are the games they lose, and to everyone's credit,
they're right. I mean, that's why we had so many
nicknames for them, and we always tried to avoid getting
chryst bald.
Speaker 6: But something changed with this team this year and they
took that.
Speaker 7: They rolled it into going into Texas A and M,
one of the hardest places to play in all of
college football at College Station, and they rolled them there.
I mean, that's a damn good offense of Texas A
and M that they held to what three points.
Speaker 6: Then they took it into.
Speaker 7: Another neutral site game on the road to Ohio State,
and boy, oh boy, that didn't work out well. Offense
will be for Ohio State and now Old Men is
next up here. So if defense wins championships, you gotta
love where Miami's sitting right about now here?
Speaker 2: Andy, what and I'm wondering you got your own wardrobe
here going? Yeah, I got nothing. I got you got school.
Speaker 6: Take that off.
Speaker 2: Andy, You're muted, buddy, but but I need a wardrobe
change I got. I'm not gonna go throw my Penn
State ship on. I can tell you that much. Joe, dude,
you're wearing your Eagles song. Who are you kidding? You
know what you're wearing. We know what you got on you. Yeah,
nobody wants to see the banana hammock this or.
Speaker 1: Joe, I got something fun for you. Joe and Andy,
Joe and Andy parlay Miami and Indiana money lines parlay
plus one fifty.
Speaker 7: I I don't know, you know, I didn't get a
chance to look at the future, but you know, if
you get exact match up there, But it does feel
like Indiana and Miami, the storylines would right themselves. It
would just be tremendous to see both of that. Although
it's I gotta tell you the Oregon Miami final. You know,
let's not forget who replaced Crysta Ball at Oregon.
Speaker 6: His name is Dan Lanning.
Speaker 7: So that would also be a very interesting either way,
to have it in Miami's home stadium to play for
a national championship. I can't imagine what that sideline of
Miami will look like.
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 7: I can't imagine the amount of guys that you'll literally
have to keep Ray Lewis from running onto the field.
Michael argument, Michael, it would be the who's who of
former college football NFL greats that are going to show
up on that sideline.
Speaker 1: Not enough cocaine coming out of Venezuela for I.
Speaker 6: Don't know who.
Speaker 7: Ball players back, because I'm not sure who Indiana could
match in college football royalty on the sideline like Miami has.
Speaker 1: I think it's just Mendoza. That's all we need. He's
got enough energy for everybody.
Speaker 6: Exactly it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, if it's Indiana Miami, I might
have to make a trip down there. Joey too. So tomorrow, well,
let's move to NFL. Here we get the Rams, we
get the Panthers. That's by far the biggest spread of
the weekend here, Rams totally expected to roll. Strange game.
They're getting DeVante Adams back here. I guess it's it
feels like it's if you're taking the Panthers. It's almost
like money line or nothing in this one. But what's
your breakdown on this Rams being this big of a
favorite here with the over under forty six and a half.
Speaker 7: It's always been andy, I think since was it twenty eleven?
I think the number is that when you get to
the wild card, you know, double digit dogs are double
digit dogs. I think for a reason, right, I mean,
the numbers I think bear out where it has been
very not profitable to back double digit dogs in the.
Speaker 6: Wild card round.
Speaker 7: In fact, I think we've only had one loser over
the years since twenty eleven in which an out dog,
you know, a dog actually ended up winning straight up
a double digit dog, and that was Tennessee back in
twenty nineteen against the Baltimore Ravens, of all people. That's
when vrabel was still there and Derek Henry was still
a Titan. But that's it I mean so, especially these
two teams having actually played against one another, and if
it wasn't for a slight hurricane in the second half
there with a monsoon and the wind blow. I mean,
let's face it, Carolina needed a lot of things to
go well to beat them at home back there, and
what we evan League twelve whatever it was there. You know,
the chance of that happening again slim to none. Here.
You gotta love McVeigh, You gotta love Stafford in this spot.
It would only be lay the points or not at
all in this game for me again, ten and a half.
You're a ten and a half point dog for a reason.
Why you're even hosting a playoff game as an eight
win team That's a whole different discussion. But kudos to
making the postseason. But your trip ends here on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I yeah, I so want to be just make the
cute like ah Panthers though they're gonna shock them. They
lost the must win, Like, how did they lost their
must wine?
Speaker 3: You needed the Falcons who immediately fired their entire the
entire organization got canned after they ended up winning and
putting you in the You should go and hire him
right now.
Speaker 7: Is what you should do because you owe him Carolina
in a big, big way.
Speaker 2: Well, and I saw one thing after that Tampa Bay
game too, that there was the debate of like what
did we see out of Bryce Young? You know, he
threw a really bad interception in that game. Sure you
know he made up for it later in the game.
But you know one thing that I think you can
use maybe in a couple of these games, and not
every trend you like, you know, fully go in, but
quarterbacks making their first ever NFL playoffs start versus quarterbacks
with playoff experience. That's ones that have played you know,
one or more, not even factoring in guys who have
won Super Bowls twenty and forty straight up twenty thirty
nine and one against the spread since two thousand and two.
So that's Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, Drake May. They're all
guys who are playing their first playoff game against the
quarterback who was playing another one. So what history out
on their side either Joe and even recent history. I mean,
if if you want to give one positive, we have
to find one positive for the Panthers. It could be
raining this week. They when they beat the Rams earlier
this year is raining. That's the one positive you can find.
Speaker 6: You Yeah, and listen, by the way.
Speaker 8: Word of advice to Carolina Panther fans don't show off
to Falcons games and celebrates after the Falcons win a
game because they you couldn't win it on your own.
Speaker 6: To get dude, I would just be quiet.
Speaker 7: I'd walk celebrating the car, celebrating in the bathroom by yourself.
Do not celebrate and open as if you just won
something at an Atlanta Falcons game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but isn't that the most NFC South thing ever?
Last week on the show, I said, Tampa Bay's gonna win,
Carolina is gonna cover, and Falcons are gonna knock him
out of the playoffs like it was it was you
knew this is what happens in the NFC.
Speaker 6: I'd rather see.
Speaker 7: New Orleans and the rookie of the year there play
in the playoffs and anything else, even with his fewer
names as any of us even know on that team.
Speaker 6: Uh So, kudos Stylan shung way to go man.
Speaker 2: So they literally had Steve Merrill as they're running back
to end the year, and they still ended up as
the best team on paper in the in the NFC
South ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Joey gonna move to NBA. Your Miami Heat versus this
Chicago Bulls team. I mean this Bulls team that five
and oh start feels like it was eighty three years ago.
Like not only are they losing, they are losing by margin.
They got killed again last night to Detroit. Now your
Miami Heat is minus seven and a half. Waiting to
hear on Hotkaz. I'm not sure if he's gonna play tonight.
We got an over under a two thirty seven and
a half. This is a Bulls team. I'm not excited
to bet on. What about you?
Speaker 6: No, well you can at this point. I mean, the
injuries are just have stuck.
Speaker 7: You know, piled up here, and it feels like they've
kind of lost their way, and now they're welcoming in
a Miami team who it feels like that's what the
Bulls wanted to do. They wanted to go up Tampa.
They wanted volume of shots, they wanted to make some threes.
And to your point, Andy worked really great to start
the season. Yeah, then it didn't work very good at
all after there. It wasn't a great shooting night for Miami.
Last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. I mean, they struggled
a lot there, but I listen, they're not gonna get
any resistance from the Chicago Bulls here in any way,
shape or form. We are starting to see some under
money here too, which is interesting enough. Here is maybe
the market things both these teams have slowed down.
Speaker 6: I don't I would only.
Speaker 7: Look at the over here, but even at seven seven
and a half, it feels like the Bulls are going
to They're going to try to match tempo for tempo
with the heat, and I just don't think they're gonna
be able to keep up scoring wise in this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with you one hundred percent of
this Bulls team. I mean, they're not even getting to
one hundred points on their own team total. So it's
it's a brutal, brutal So nope, Well, Joe, I know
you're gonna be having a blast tonight. We'll be rooting
for you for sure. Pull over this Miami, Indiana. I'm serious.
I may have to high tail it down there. So
what do you have up for everyone to wager?
Speaker 6: Talk?
Speaker 5: Come on down.
Speaker 7: Might be a little call for a temperature in the
upper sixties low seventies, and I hope you have clothes
for that because it's I might have the light of
fire tonight. I'm just telling you it's getting a little chilly.
Here go get right now, locked and loaded. NFL Wildcard
weekend plays are up. I do have a play tonight
in college football as well as tomorrow night's game there
with Oregon and Indiana. And we've got a couple of
college basketball plays and one NBA and a light card
here tonight. Kind of a little disgusting card, but I
do think I have an angle, andy, and all of it,
like you said, available with that great offer right now,
I mean seven days for the price of three.
Speaker 6: That is what you got to take advantage of.
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Joe, good luck to have fun. I hope
you don't have anything planned early in the morning.
Speaker 2: Yes, no, rip rip that bottle of whistle pig that
you have to exactly all whistle pig enjoy.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe, Joe, uh Dan, I got a shout out
to Garth. Garth is incredible in our discord at picking volleyball,
and I'm not kidding. He knows, he knows all these
leagues follows it religiously. He's on a hllacious tear in
our discord in volleyball, So shout out to uh to Garth.
He knows his volleyball and he does. He does it
smart man. He follows the sport. He tells you when
he's laying off, he tells you when he's hammering something.
He does a really really good job. So uh, good
job to you Garth himself. Let's go Dan. We can
do all around the world free picks, and then we
will do our twenty twenty five recap in our twenty
twenty six akad. This is personal and professional. So my
guess is if you didn't like the Stranger Things segment,
you probably aren't gonna.
Speaker 2: Yeah you can just we can tune out. You can
be like f these two guys who'll give us free
plays and get deep dives for us. We don't care
what you have to say. Just make us a bicycle clown.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We do it every year and it gets serious.
But I think it's important to do some self reflection.
And David's nice enough to join me in doing this.
Today's all right, free plays, pacers and hornets. I love
these little totals with guys that are playing around twenty minutes.
Will take Ben Sheppard over five and a half points.
He's been productive off the bench since returning from injury.
He's gone over this number in all four games since
return eight of eleven from threes during that stretch. Coming
off of his last performance against Charlotte, he started, he
played thirty minutes, but he scored fifteen points. So Ben
Shephard over his points. Dawson Mercer over one and a
half shots on goal. This is the biggest streak in
props right now. He's gone over this number and ten
straight games, ten straight games. This is cashed. Each of
the last two against Pittsburgh he's gone over and the
Penguins allowed twenty one shots on goal per game to
forwards and centers. So see if you.
Speaker 5: Can make it eleven.
Speaker 1: It's the biggest streak right now. And this comes off
the wager Talk free picks page from Rob Vino. College Basketball.
Lamoyne and New Haven Lamoinn minus five. New Haven. This
is their seventh street road game. They've lost five or six,
four of them by six or more points. New Haven
tenth worst three point shooting team there at twenty seven percent.
Lamoyne first home game Since November, they're much better three
point shooting teams. On the free picks page, Rob Veno
likes lamoy and minus five Oh boom free plays.
Speaker 2: So Andy, real quick, before we get into it. I
have to keep it going. People always ask for it,
whether they're following or fading.
Speaker 1: Oh you do have one today?
Speaker 2: You have gee again? I grabbed one right as as
Joe was talking. I dived in on the game tonight
and actually found a player prop for the folks here
tonight that I think makes a good amount of sense.
Twelve and five on the WTF and LFG plays is sustainable.
Hell no, but we're gonna have fun for the time being.
The play for me, we're looking at the quarterback here
for Ole Miss who impressed last week and really all
season long, Trinidad Chambalisse, and we're taking him Andy over
twenty three and a half yards rushing. Now, last week
he only has fourteen against Georgia. I'm aware of that,
but he's gone over this number eight times this year,
including outlier games like one hundred and twelve yards that
he had against Tulane. Why are we betting this tonight
after he only had fourteen Georgia clearly challenged him. They said,
we're gonna shut down your legs, try and beat us
with your arm. He did just that. I mean, he
was making incredible plays. He was using his escapability to
extend plays, but was then throwing it downfield.
Speaker 5: Miami has a.
Speaker 2: Real chance of getting after this guy tonight, and I
think it's cautioning the win obviously. I think Trinidad Chamblisse
could be on some scramble drills early.
Speaker 6: Andy.
Speaker 2: I think twenty three and a half is just a
tick to I would play this thing up to twenty
eight and a half. As a matter of fact, I
think he gets around thirty or more Trinidad Chamblie over
twenty three and a half rushyards. W tf, LFG, I
I don't know much is rushing.
Speaker 1: I will I'll go with an LFG because you've been
really good at these. Yeah, we'll go go with LFG.
I have wellinion about this one, so.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 2: Comment below. Let me know you following or fading again
twelve and five on these plays. The regression is coming,
but let's have fun before it does.
Speaker 6: Baby.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's yeah, you're getting big time,
big time agreement here. Rob likes it. John Gang likes it,
so I can't argue with the hot hand there, Dan.
So all right, let's do twenty twenty five personal professional
recap and what we're looking to in two thousand and
twenty five. So I will go first here, twenty twenty
five biggest professional win. This one was tough because I
had two big ones, and so obviously launching my skincare
was a huge professional win for me, but then hosting
wager Talk today. I mean, those are the two biggest ones,
and I couldn't pick one. I really couldn't pick one.
I have a tie for my biggest professional win, so
that's fair, Yeah, yeah, I just I just couldn't say
this one's over the other. So what was your biggest
professional win?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a no brand and they're sitting alongside
you here, Andy. We joke about it all the time.
When I first started here, you know, producing behind the scenes.
One of my main goals, or one of my main
jobs here was producing a NASCAR show with Andy Lang.
We were recorded every single week together, and I never
thought in a million years we would be getting to
sit alongside I always loved working with Andy, but siting
alongside him being the second chair here on what I
personally think is one of the best daily sports betting
shows that is on there. This community that we've been
able to build, that you started and I've gotten to
be a part of as well, that we, you know,
get to piggyback off of what a Pres and Teddy
have done. Absolutely love this show. I'm looking forward to
it in twenty twenty six as well. But sitting alongside
you here in a hosting capacity, not just pushing the
buttons behind the scenes. Easy professional win. Took the cake
for me?
Speaker 1: Man, all right, biggest personal win? What was your biggest
personal win outside.
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, I mean I got married to the love
of my life this year. It's hard to note this
was the easiest one, easiest one to take the cake. There,
absolutely incredible wedding that we had, so yeah, hitting the jackpot, out,
kicking the coverage, all of those things. Easy biggest personal win.
With a little sidecar, this one is more twenty twenty
sixth than twenty twenty five. We purchased our first home together.
We'll be moving back back east here next week actually,
so I'll be missing a couple of shows because we'll
be traveling back east. But but yeah, marry and the
love of your life. Highly recommend marry your best friend, folks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, This is where it gets a
little dark. I do not have something that I can
pick as my biggest personal win, and that's been the
story of twenty twenty five for me. I did not
do anything great for my own life, and that has
to change in twenty twenty six. This is the most
depressing one is I look back on twenty twenty five
and I got so consumed with certain things that I
did not do anything for Andy. And that is a massive,
massive regret and something that I have to address. So
this is the depressing part. I do not have a
good personal win.
Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, also I have to, you know, think about
how that's correlated, you know, with what we do as
sports betters.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's been a frustrating year for you and our team,
and a lot of that is if your mental is
not proper like you like, take a step back sometimes, folks.
If you don't have it in between your ears, you're
gonna be chasing losses. You're not gonna be handicapping properly.
You're going to be second guessing yourself. So yeah, Andy,
I'm going to force you in twenty twenty six to
do some Andy wins. That that's gonna be mine.
Speaker 1: I have to Yeah, I really really do so, all right, Dad,
other professional wins losses, just some little ones.
Speaker 2: Do the Detroit trip with our video team, yes, Holy God.
Like so when we when we made a couple of
you know, transitions, whatever, we made the commitment. We were like,
Kelly Stewart was like, We're getting everyone to the Detroit office.
We're gonna hang out with the folks who do the
customer service. We're gonna get to hang out with Johnny Detroit.
The whole entire team absconded and made their way down
to Detroit and it was an absolute blast. Dinner in
Greek Town one of my absolute cherished memories. We got
closer as a team, so profession win. Who would have
thought one of the best trips of your life would
be going to Detroit. Yeah, that was an insane started
off an amazing trend upwards for this team with wager
talk and always we'll look back on that trip very fondly.
Hopefully we do it again soon.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was I had that down that Detroit trip
was amazing. That was so well done. So other professional
wins for me by far the best year for my
production company, so that's a huge, huge relief. We can
see the profitability on the horizon with my production company,
so that was good. But here's my biggest professional loss,
and this is just full disclosure. We had one of
our worst betting years January February March. We could not miss,
we could not miss, and then we just hit a
six month funk and we could not get rid of it.
Finally in late October. We righted the ship October November,
December much much better, but we ended up down seventy
units if you use the wager talk units, so flat
betting was a lot better, but we lost a lot
of big plays in that six month run. My job
is to be profitable at the end of the year,
and I did not do my job. It's been a
long time since we had a down year and said, oh,
you were due. You know, it's regression that happens, but
that's just not acceptable. When people pay for your services
and you don't, you don't provide what you consider good expectations.
It's a massive, massive loss on our part. So that
is something that's got to change. For twenty twenty six,
by far, my biggest professional loss personal when you had
a little little personal wins outside of work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, outside of what we do here and
the on air capacity. I made a joke, I'm wearing
my Mustang's lacrosse shirt. This was the first team that
I started as an assistant coach, nice for coaching lacrosse.
So I moved into my fifth year of coaching. I
started in twenty twenty one or in twenty twenty and
coach three different teams. One of the teams I coached
out here in LA was that Palisades lacrosse team who
they lost their entire school, so was able to help
some of those kids kind of work through that. But
five years of coaching Andy, A big personal win for
me was having my first ever job that I got
paid to coach. I was a defensive coordinator for Redondo Lacrosse.
And moving forward into twenty twenty six, I'm actually going
to get to move home. And we had somebody ask
a you going back to PA. Yes, moving back to
PA and I'm going to get to be the coach
for my nephews lacrosse team. So that's that's coming up
here in twenty twenty six is a little look forward.
But I love coaching, man, It's one of my absolute
joys in life. And getting five straight years of it
and having someone respect my opinion enough that they brought
me on to have an actual title and be able
to run an entire defense was definitely great.
Speaker 1: Damn glows when he talks about coaching.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: You may or may not know that, but when you
talk about coaching, you just have that Yeah, that's a
lot about you. So I'm so glad that you have
that passion in your life. Man. It's really really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And for what it's worth, if it weren't for
Wager Talk, I wouldn't have that life work balance that
allowed it, you know what I mean. Like I have
the opportunity to go and coach in the afternoon because
of what we do with this team with Wager Talk.
So that's that's it ties in with the professional and personal.
Speaker 1: Uh personal wins and losses. I did get healthier, worked
hard on my blood pressure, my blood sugar. Both of
those are much much better. A loss. Uh, you guys
all know we had to say goodbye to our dog,
fifteen year old dog. Yeah, this has affected me more
than I thought Dan, And now I know why. Outside
of my four years at college, where you know, you're
just surrounded by a million roommates and everything, this is
the first time in my life ever, I have not
had a pet. Since I was born. I've had a
pet in the house's ter patters.
Speaker 2: Man, it hits different, Yeah, because we lost our cat
this year too, and same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's hit home and I haven't totally
gotten over the lonelys. I am somebody that I don't
like being alone, Like if my wife is gone, I
have to have a TV on. I'm a lunatic. I
need energy around. So that's been a little bit tough
on that one. So but honestly, I don't We're not
going to get a pet. My wife and I have
places we want to travel, and you just can't do
that with no So.
Speaker 2: Everything gets planned around do I have a pet sitter
or how do I get home?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with yeah, yeah, all right, let's go to
twenty twenty six. Let's look ahead, let's uh, let's get
some get some positivity going here. All right, go back
real quick, did you have any sports wagering takeaways from
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I mean, and this has really been the three years
that I've lived here in LA and living in California
just completely blew up what I did as a sports
better because it's it's it isn't legal here and I'm
not going to drive the Vegas you know, every single
weekend so I can get my action down. So I
had to kind of adjust how I did things and
had to be playing on things like prize picks like
underdog sports, which just isn't my niche. So, you know,
I kind of took a full step back and was
just like, it's gonna be pizza money until I can
actually be in a sport that has regulated or a
state that has regulated sports betting. So to twenty twenty six,
that's something as we look forward, you know and turn
the page that will definitely be upping upping my action
and I think probably my ability to handicap these games
when I'm actually able to wager on them, you know,
with my own hard earned dollars with a regulated sports book.
And the other thing andy that I learned that the
sport that you have an edge in may not always
be there like lacrosse lines in college lacrosse have gotten sharper.
PLL lines have certainly gotten sharper. So that is where
you have to adjust. Is your sports better, you know
as being a niche sports better. I mean ten years ago,
player props weren't even something that was being focused on
by sports books. You could make an absolute killing an
NFL player props and it's just not the nature. So
always be an ameeba and be able to adjust what
you're doing as a sports better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my biggest takeaway I had a couple moments where
I wagered massive chunk of my bank roll on plays
that really really like we're no sweat, no brainers yep.
And that's been my biggest takeaway from my personal bank role.
I can't give him out as as client plays, but
just last week I had two plays that were both
minus a thousand. I played him individually and I won ten.
I got ten percent return on investment. Both of them
were over within forty five minutes. This was just a
no sweat we had. We had the cricket big play
on the ashes that was one of them that has
really opened my eyes. It's risky, but the return on
investment just cannot be ignored. I've done really well on
some of those, So that was my biggest takeaway from
twenty twenty five. All right, twenty twenty six, here we go.
I'll go first, professional goals. We have to have a
winning year betting we can't. We can't go through the
slump that we did for those six months. So that's
by far number one goal here at wager Talk. Skincare Company.
Really build that one, and I'm kind of putting this together.
I have to get this production company and skincare Company
close to profitable. The skincare is a startup. We're not
quite profitable, but we're close, and the production company is
about a year away from being profitable. But to be honest,
when you start these companies, yeah, yeah, you have to
go in debt, you have to work really hard. And
I've been nervous about money for a while with these companies,
and I need to improve that because I'm pretty sure
that's been a source of some of the health problems
that I've had. So this is my year to really
get these businesses very close to profitable and hopefully at
the end of the year both of them are profitable.
Hands down, my biggest professional goal outside of Wayger talk.
What about you.
Speaker 2: Congrats to our man Shan, of course nice. That's absolutely
love to hear it. Professional goals for me, we got

All right. Finishing up personal goals, I just got to
get back to being fun and outgoing. I kind of
lost that I need to be a little bit more
decisive on certain things. I kind of got into the
wishy washy part of it, and oh, you know, continue
working on my health. I'm actually going to my doctor
right after this, and I need to work on just
being a better huh husband. You know, I feel like
sometimes I don't know what it is. I just feel
like I need to work on that and I need
to be a little bit better. I'm not terrible, but
I just think there's some ways that I can improve that.
So it's going to be a focus for twenty twenty six.
Those are my personal goals. What about you?

Speaker 2: Being in a sports the state for three years that
didn't have regulated sports betting made a major hit on
my ability to you know, not just handicap games when
you don't have as much skin in the game, when
you're using different outs. You know, it just completely changed
my attack at handling my bankroll. So getting back to
doing what I do best, baby and having skin in
the game starting next week already is something that I'm
super pumped for. In twenty twenty six.
