Speaker 1: You welcome to Wager Talk Today, the gold standard of
sports betting shows, where we talked the talk and walk
the walk home day Wednesday, you got a massive college
basketball slate, big time NBA matchups. Got to stay ahead
of the markets and find the best betting edges. Dan,
there's winning a play and then there's winning in miracle fashion,
and I would rather just be a comfortable wire to
wire with. Yeah, but sometimes you just say a win
is a win and we get out of dodge. So
you cash yesterday's WTFLFG of four percent client play in
a complete blowout on a meaningless goal with eighteen seconds
left or was it ten seconds left?
Speaker 2: It was It was a mirror.
Speaker 3: Meaningless to some andy. Yeah, we end up getting a
penalty that goes our way with fourteen seconds left for
a team that's losing by eleven goals. That team that's
losing by eleven goals scores and will take it by
hooker by crook, We'll take it. That was our fiftieth
play for free here to start the show. We call
it WTFLFG, and we asked the folks that you follow
in are fading well if you followed us our fiftieth play. Andy,
we have gone thirty and twenty with these plays, so
it's building up a decent sample size. We've stayed above
that Mendoza line outside of when we started, and you
remember it was a joke segment. We started zero to
four on this segment, and then since then we've mustered
the thirty and twenty. So happy to cash for you guys.
We saw those comments. We appreciate it people reaching out
on Twitter. That's all we do here, folks. And we
got another three terrific guests here on the program. Drew
Martin's gonna kick things off Texas and Arkansas. We might
as well just throw. Drew usually comes on with the
Auburn hat. We need to get him an Arkansas hat
because every single time he would refuse to wear it.
But every time he's on here, we talked some Arkansas
basketball with our guy, and he's usually cashing for us.
We'll talk Baylor and Houston as well. In that one,
Teddy covers a rare Wednesday appearance from our friend Teddy.
He's gonna talk Thunder and Nicks, Hornets and Celtics, and
if Teddy's here, we're playing sell me. I got a
good game for you guys that you'll have to sell
me and the audience on. And then the return Baby Ross.
The Boss Benjamin is in the house. He's got a
CBB game for you that's Colorado State and the Lobos
of New Mexico. And he's also got Hawks and Bucks
in NBA action. Andy's gonna go all around the world
even though Andy wants to go to bed because this
sickness just won't get kicked, buddy, But you're still here
grinding for the folks. We're happy to have you, man,
and let's get it rolling.
Speaker 2: There's no way we talk Drew Martin into wearing an
Arkansas hat.
Speaker 3: There's no way in hell.
Speaker 1: We don't do locks on this show. We don't do guarantees,
but let's bring that. That's a little I'm pretty much
guaranteeing that we ain't getting Drew Martin to way.
Speaker 3: Wait, go get you in a razorbags gear and Drew,
is that against your religion? Man? I mean you're cashing
on him for us every week for free.
Speaker 4: It seemed like, buddy, yeah, Dan, Andy, Hey, respect you
coming on when you're sick.
Speaker 5: Andy. There's a lot to that.
Speaker 4: But with the Arkansas thing, I've never had a problem
with an Arkansas fan, to tell you the truth, I've
had some good nights with some Arkansas fans. So if
you got some razorbackskier, actually I would be one that
might might rock something because they've been making.
Speaker 5: Us money right here on Wait you talk today? So yeah,
I have nothing against it.
Speaker 3: Boys they have, man they have Indeed, well, let's kick
it right off air, Drew, Well, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 5: Know what do you have going?
Speaker 3: I know you're in bounce back mode, and bounce back
mode served you well here on our Wednesday segment. So
let's keep it rolling here and talk. Yeah, aforementioned Arkansas
Razorbacks as they're taking on the Texas Longhorns and another
over the touchdown. We always love referencing that, Drew and
this one around one sixty five and a half total
actually split kind of here in the marketplace. So how
are you looking about this one? We got another home
favorite here with some familiar foes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be a great atmosphere in bud Walton Arena.
And I'll tell you Dan, Arkansas is fourteen and one
at home. I'm not looking to go against them. We've
been cashing on them. They are off of a big
loss against the Florida Gators in Gainesville, giving up over
one hundred points. But I think they do bounce back.
They've covered seven of the last eight against Texas, covered
four of the last five. Is a favorite, So laying
this number doesn't really scare me. With a team that's
going up tempo. Talked about it last week. Their point
guard Darius from Detroit, Michigan. He's averaging almost thirty points
a game over the last ten games. And they're up
against the Texas team. A good team the Longhorns are,
but the fact is they just played Texas A and M.
We know that Texas Texas A and M rivalry. Kind
of seems like a little bit of a letdown spot
having to go on the road here nationally televised game
ESPN two. But in Fayetteville, I think Arkansas in front
of the home fans, Dan, I think they cash this ticket.
Speaker 5: Gonna lay the wood here with the Razorbacks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it ain't broke, and we've we bet on them,
we bet against them in here. We're saying let's lay
it here, says Drew Martin. Baylor Houston is another great
game that's going tonight. But Drew, first, let folks know
what you have, Rock and we have some great promos
if people want to save, you know, a little cash
over at the pages WT Dot buzz Backslash d M
And like we were talking for talking with Drew before
we came on here. It's bounced back mode. But dude,
that's that's the nature of the industry we're in, right,
This is this is what we do if we if
we want one hundred percent of the time, trust us,
the books wouldn't be taking the action anymore. So, Drew,
how are you looking tonight in bounce back mode? Got
anything loaded? Or are you trying to finalize the card?
Speaker 4: I'm actually finalizing the card right now, Dan, And yeah,
you know, off of a loss yesterday, but hey, it's
college basketball. March has been great in the past and
MLB right around the corner. Man, we're gonna be talking
to opening Day here in a couple of weeks. So
great day to you know, a great time to jump
on board, good time to be a sports better. But yeah,
am and bounce back mode unfortunately off the loss.
Speaker 3: All right, all good there, Drew, And if you need
some more, Drew Martin Drew's Daily Diamond on the weekends.
This is something that may be returning with a little
more regularity as we see the pitchers and catchers reporting
rather soon. But Drew, it's all about the hardwood right now.
Brother Baylor and Houston, and I threw in a double
r there for you. No Steve Merrill on the show,
but the Baylor Bear Rubers Houston laying a big time number. Drew,
how are you looking to bet this one?
Speaker 4: I'm actually looking to go on the over. You know,
you bring up the side there in Houston. The Cougars
do interest me, but this is a big number. Two
touchdowns is kind of a different range for a top
ten team. Baylor hasn't been bad this season, Dan, you
know they are over five hundred and a tough Big
twelve conference. They're also off of a good win at UCF,
another team that's kind of right there on the bubble
for the NCAA tournament. The thing is, I like this
over in the markets pushed it down one forty four
and a half last night. Now we're seeing I'm gonna
put that extra, that extra bucket in our pocket.
Speaker 5: It's a Houston team that can score.
Speaker 4: They really can yes, they play good defense, but their
their last game they went over by twenty four points.
And sure enough, Baylor, they've struggled a little bit on defense,
but offensively they've been putting the ball in the basket.
Speaker 5: They've hit the over in two straight.
Speaker 4: Games by almost fifty points combined. What have you done
for me recently? These two teams have been hitting over.
So as we head to the Farida Center in Houston, Texas,
I like this over nine pm ESPN two. Both games
on ESPN two, so you don't have to change the
channel there. We're gonna go the over in this lone
star state battle Baylor in Houston over the total of
one forty.
Speaker 3: Two dam set it and forget it on ESPN two
and ride with our man, Drew Martin over in game
two of the double header. Drew always a pleasure man.
We love chatting with you here on Wednesday. Best of
luck tonight once you nail down that card and again
wt dof Buzz Backslash DM is where you can find
him and Drew let him know what they should look
forward to on the wager Talk YouTube channel each and
every weekend. Triple d No not Diners, Drives and Dies
it's Drew Martin's Daily Diamond. Tell the folks about it.
Speaker 4: Drew absolutely three college college basketball bets right now.
Speaker 5: We're gonna be transitioning to MLB as well.
Speaker 4: So it's on Saturdays, guys, right here on the Wager
Talk YouTube channel. Catch me on Wednesdays right here with
the boys, Andy and Dan and Hey. Always good to
talk to TC before we started. So enjoy Teddy covers.
Speaker 3: Guys, love it Drew, and Yes, the madness is impending.
So we're gonna need some some more check ins from
Drew here as we head on forward. Drew always a pleasure, buddy.
We'll see you next time. Then cash them boys. Gotta
get the Razorbacks hat for him.
Speaker 5: We'll see if he actually will wear it.
Speaker 3: Andy, that'll that'll.
Speaker 5: That'll be that'll. That'll be a good test for our friend.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: It's it's primary season and politics. Well, he could run
for off.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 2: I would be happy to wear Razorbacks.
Speaker 3: That was well done. That was well done. I would
vote for Drew more choice than many would be voting
for Drew Martin.
Speaker 2: No, we can't start Drew over. You can go back
and watch Rob.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we time stamp the episode it's there for those
tuning in. Two really good plays and breakdown succinct from
our man Drew Martin. But we got Teddy coming up Andy.
But we got a bunch of comments to get to
the comments section. We appreciate you guys, whether you're watching
live or on the rewatch. Comment below if you're on
the rewatch. But a lot of good stuff here, man
we got we got to play from our man Garth.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah. So Garth posts Australian rules football. It's available on.
Speaker 1: Half of the sports books that you guys probably have
access to. He posts them in Discord and he does
very very well in Australian rules football. So Garth appreciate that.

Speaker 5: You as well. It's always a good day.
Speaker 3: And I also loved it that we had people checking
in here before the show even started. Beast and Brian
was happy with the cash. Not quite the King, but
I'll take the Moniker regardless. So yeah, good stuff. The
keep the comments coming, guys, we love them.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: There was a Freudian slip in there somewhere to RS
and bears and then and then Drew likes the over. Yeah,
so we're over on the score and the RS and
the amount of ours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just something going on there.
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on before the show happens. Man,
we should just be glad that I get the colors
right at least eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what it's telling us,
but it's telling us something. So yeah, seth, we have
a banger for UFC weekend. Yeah, we absolutely do. We're
waiting for some props to come out and then we
will have multiple four percent plays that go up tonight
when those props come out. So this is a big,
big UFC card, So excited about that. We've got a
two pack of NBA plays that are up. We have
a huge golf tournament, and we have actually actually a
huge golf week. I don't know if you saw what
happened to the live with eight of the live players,
did you see?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 1: Well, apparently it wasn't a great week to be practicing
over the weekend in the Middle East, so they were
now that makes sense. They were stuck on there Andy
and they had to high tail it out of there.
There were multiple buses walking across the desert with their clubs,
was the story. And trying to get on a jet
to get to Honk Kong where they play. So wild
week of golf. We have the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Jan
and I broke down that entire tournament yesterday.
Speaker 2: I believe that video is up.
Speaker 1: So we'll do a free play a little bit later
here for the tournament, but you want a full breakdown.
Speaker 2: We go over everything on the on the Golf Show.
Speaker 1: So a lot of good stuff. So two pack in NBA.
That's up right now. Again, we always recommend get a
long term package. Ten seven days, three days. We've got
a lot of big stuff coming up. So speaking of
big stuff, Teddy covers.
Speaker 5: Teddy, look that for a segue.
Speaker 1: See that's the look of a man who gets to
who gets to go out in public now and go
to shows. This was an awesome story, Teddy, Teddy to
share the story.
Speaker 2: This is awesome for you.
Speaker 7: Sure, So I'm not I'm not someone that initially does
a whole lot other than watch sports, you know, I mean,
and as you get older that gets worse. So just
so you guys, it's coming for you too. You know,
they're mostly your favorite thing to do is sit around
the house and turn.
Speaker 5: The TV out. But ahead of exactly it doesn't take long.
Speaker 7: But my kid, all you know, my kids in high
school now, and he's he's playing in all these bands.
He's playing in three different bands. You know. He plays drums,
he plays bass, he plays guitar, he plays some keyboard.
So now I have an excuse to actually go do something,
go watch his kids, you know. So it's been a
lot of fun. He's been gigging all. You know, every
week or two I get to go watch and play
with one of these bands. And it's a it's been
a lot of fun. You get to go out and
and and and being in bars and stuff. You know,
it's just odd because it's not you know, I haven't
hung out, you know, I got I got into this business.
I used to man, I you know, I was in
the restaurant bar business and a sports bar. That's how
he first got into betting. But the last thirty years
or so and then it hasn't been my hasn't my home.
So it's been fun to get back out and then
and live a little bit with the kid who's who's
playing a bunch of instruments, and then just getting involved
in the rock and roll scene.
Speaker 1: That's so much fun. Man, that's awesome. So let's talk
a little NBA here. We got some great games tonight.
We're gonna start with the Thunder and Knicks and then
go into Hornets and Celtics, but start off with this Thunder.
Knicks Sja probable tonight. Looks like he's gonna play here.
We got Okac minus four and a half over under
two twenty two and a half. What's your take on
this game? I've got the over on Karl Anthony Anthony
Town's dumb fouls not.
Speaker 7: A fatination, and that's been one of the I mean
not that Anthony Karl Anthony Towns has been the only
reason why the Knicks have had all these problems against Oka.
See but this has not been a good matchup for
New York. The last time the Knicks beat the Thunder
at home twenty seventeen. It's not like Okac has been
a dominant team throughout this entire stretch. They've been a
dominant team in the last couple of years, but the
Knicks have had problems with the Thunder. They had problems
with the Thunder both meetings last year, when the Knicks
were good and the Thunder were good. Both meetings decided
to okay See winning by double digit margins, both teams
on the second of back to backs. Here, neither team
was really tested last night. Both teams with relatively comfortable victories.
That being said, ok se set Shay Gilgas Alexander and
Hartenstein's set as well, and both of those guys likely
to suit up for the thunder tonight. They're going to
be relatively you know, not at full strength because Okasee
still has all the injuries that they've been dealing with
for the better part of the last couple of months,
but they'll be at better strength than they were last night.
You know, obviously, you know, with Williams and Mitchell Malike
who haven't played in a while for okay See, but Gilgist,
Alexander Hartenstein, the markets expect them to play. I do
as well. I think they sat last night against the
Air a lesser opponent for the late season back to
back purposes, not because either one is dealing with any
significant injury concerns. So OKC has certainly played the Knicks well.
They're going to get a couple of key bodies back tonight.
They are the better of these two teams. All these
factors point towards the Thunder one factor doesn't though. Okay,
so he's not playing great Paul right now. And again,
when you have all of these guys coming in and
out of the lineup weekend, week out, day in, day out,
you expect that there's going to be some issues. And okay,
see they've won their last three games all his favorites.
They failed to cover any of them Chicago, Dallas, Denver.
And that's not been unique for the Thunder this year.
They when you have have had as many injuries as
a Thunder have had and you continue to shuttle guys
in and out of the lineup. From a point spread
stan standpoint, it can be difficult. And certainly this is
the game that the Knicks have triple circled on their schedule.
If New York you know, thinks that they are a
championship tender, which they do, think this is the game
they're supposed to prove it. So side standpoint, I love
this game. Total standpoint of things is a bet here
we look at what OKC is. This is a defensive
first basketball team. I know the cast a handful of
overs lately, but didn't go over last night in Chicago,
didn't go over in Dallas, Dallas eighty seven before that,
and the game in Denver before that was under in regulation.
What do we know about Okace. We know their defensive intensity,
we know that it comes. And obviously on a night
where both Shay and Harkins center are back in the lineup,
I'm not expecting the Knicks to light up the scoreboard here.
Nicks last year and the two meeting against OKAYC scored
one oh one and one oh seven. That said, Oklahoma
City right now is not clicking on all tilders offensively
with a guy showing in and out of lineup. And
we look at what the Knicks are doing defensively right now.
Since the All Star break, they've been absolutely dominant ninety five,
eighty nine, ninety eight, one nine, ninety nine, one oh
six and six games since the break. They had that
one no show against Detroit coming right out of the
All Star break, and since then five of those six
have gone under and their defense has been dominant. So
we have two teams trying to hang their hat on
the defensive side of the court right now. I don't
expect this game to be played with a ton of pace.
You put it all together, let's look for the Knicks
and Thunder under two twenty two and a half, the
prevailing current number right here on my Odds Logic Live
odd screen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Knicks are an interesting team. You know, on paper, stacked,
light up, they should be good, but boy do they
have a Detroit Pistons problem going into the playoffs. Do
you buy into this regular seas? You don't buy into this.
Speaker 7: It's just a regular season. Is regular season. Playoffs is playoffs,
And how healthy you are in February or how wealthy
you are in December has nothing to do with how
healthy a you're going to be in May when these
two teams are going to meet. If the with Detroit
at home, they have home court advantage over the Knicks
in with a game seven, I still wouldn't make that series.
I probably priced that series pretty close to pick them,
because when we think about the NBA in general, you
gotta have some postseason success forere you have a bunch
of post Sedons success. Detroit still trying to climb that ladder.
The Knicks have climbed the some Postseedons success clatter. So
I think the Nicks would be live in a series
against the Pistons. I think they give him a battle,
and I would not be surprised the Knicks beat him.
Speaker 2: They just keep falling off the ladder.
Speaker 1: They get hurt and climbing up the ladder and then
they kind of fall off the ladder.
Speaker 2: But could be a new Knicks team coming into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So we have new team Hornets. My gosh, what a
turnaround for this Hornets team. Conkadipple continues to be one
of the most amazing stories here and now they're going
up against this Boston team. Another surprise story for this
year unless unless you saw this coming, Teddy, But looks
like we're getting Tatum close to coming back.
Speaker 2: Doesn't look like it's going to be tonight.
Speaker 1: So we break down this game with no Tatum here,
Boston still right a six and a half over under
two thirteen and a half. This Boston Celtics team really
been playing good defense. Not a ton of pace here.
Interesting your take on this Hornets team versus the Celtics.
Speaker 7: So Charlotte's a one way team for me? All right,
let me make that very very clear when you talk
about I call it the point spread story of the year.
They're the best points spread team this year and they
didn't start out great. You know, the last three months
you've played on Charlotte every game, all you've done is
make money. And it continues post All Star break. Look
at Charlotte right now, just let me get the numbers
real quick. But I think they've covered every game since
the All Star Break, if not, pretty darn close to it. Yeah,
and I've got them now even going into the All
Star Break. They cover their last one going in. So
I've got eight straight covers for Charlotte, twelve and one
in their last thirteen games. This team has been a
consistently undervag commodity. We look at Charlotte as an underdog well,
five and one the last six tries, twelve and four,
seventy five percent the last sixteen tries. They've been very
very good catching points sorry the twelve and fours as
a road dog for what it's worth, So seventy percent
is a road dog. Five and won their last six
in any try as an underdog. Charlotte on the second
of back to back, so they played last night. Oh
they're ten and two full season on the second of
back to back. They've been destroying teams. So all the
trends here point towards Charlotte. Charlotte certainly not a team
I have any interest in stepping in front of that.
Being said, not he's stepping in front of Boston right now.
I mean Boston has been you know, I talk about
Charlotte as being the points spread story of the season.
Boston's probably been the win total story of the season.
You know, I mean, this was a team you don't
see many teams casting their win total one way or
the other. By the beginning of March, Celtic's already got
over their toll. They're supposed to be a five hundred team,
and they are legit championship contenders right now, obviously Tatum
coming back. And you know, all they've done is annihilate everyone.
You know, three straight games Milwaukee, Philly, Brooklyn, all winning
by fifteen points or more, covering all those spreads, and
they are seven to one ats their last eight overall.
That said, full season, Celtics twelve and twelve ATS is
home chalk. This hasn't necessarily been their role. They're a
little bit fat and happy, and I'm interested to see
how seriously they take Charlotte. If they take this game like, oh,
Charlotte's a contender, If they take this game like, ah,
this is still Charlotte. But for me, I can only
look at this game one way. It's hornets or pass
for this better, and it's not a pass. I'll leave
it at dead. It's a bet that I made. It's
bet that I've advised my clients to make for tonight.
You get it here for free for watching Way to
Talk TV. Thanks for watching.
Speaker 1: Awesome stuff from Teddy. Do you worry about some of
these street We've talked about this on some of these shows,
when some of these teams go on streets that you
know are probably not sustainable. I mean, this one for
Charlotte is just incredible. But you haven't really seen the
books adjust too much to this, so you're going to
keep writing it. But you know, at what point do
we go, Ah, Man, this team they're just covering too many.
Eventually this is gonna this is going to regress back
to the mean.
Speaker 7: Well, let's wait for it to regress back to the
mean before we jump off the train. Charlotte has been
literally printing money for their backers for the better part
of the last two months, and I have no intention
of jumping off that train until the market show. They've
caught it. And you read the quotes coming out of Charlotte,
you know, not every night. I read these quotes where
you know, after the game, they're like, yeah, we're really deep, Wow,
we're really confident. Wow we're really good. Wow, this guy's
the limit. I mean, these are not the kind of
quotes that make you say, let's have the breaks. So
the type of quotes and say this is one of
this is just like okay, see last year was the
team of the year from appoints, re reflect them. It
didn't matter. You just bet the thunder, and you bet
the thunder and you bet them again. You know, young, athletic, talented, healthy,
Charlotte's all of.
Speaker 6: Those right now.
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Teddy covers.
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for the segment, and everyone waits
for not to hear it.
Speaker 2: Me and Teddy talk, but we give away three day pass.
Speaker 1: Dan, we're doing sell me here, explain how the segment works,
how we can give away three day pass and then
give us the game.
Speaker 3: And Andy, I'll tell you what I think. It's a
little bit of column ay, a little bit of column B.
I think people do look forward to hearing you guys
have to squirm when I tell you, hey, you have
to break down a side that you don't want to have.
So essentially, guys, I pick an NBA game and I
let these guys know you're taking one side, you're taking another.
We grated it a spread, and you comment with who
sold you on their handicap that they have to make
up on the spot here. After the show goes live,
you comment below and you let us know who you
agree with, share your wager talk user name, and then
when your guy covers guess what you're entered in to
win a free three day flex pass that you can
use on.
Speaker 5: Any cap or that you want.
Speaker 3: I suggest you use it on these guys, but nevertheless,
it's a flex pass you can use anywhere. Guys, what
I have for you today. Of course, the Indiana Pacers
are on the docket here, so I had to get
that one. Let's call this one. It's on the move.
Actually I just saw thirteen and.
Speaker 5: A half pop up. We're gonna call it twelve.
Speaker 3: We're calling this twelve as we're recording here at at
you know, twelve thirty ish, so we're calling it twelve
and Teddy, of course, I'm gonna give Andy his home
side and tell us why this team that is basically
openly tanking can still cover this spread because it's gone
so well for teams over you know, a dozen points,
as we learned last week. You're telling me this LA
Clippers team, who was in cell mode there laying twelve points.
Here is what we're gonna call it, Teddy sell me
on the big home favorite, the Los Angeles Clipper.
Speaker 7: There's nothing I had to say about the Clippers, all right,
This is this handicap has nothing to do with the
LA Clippers, although the Clippers is certainly capable. And by
the way, the Clippers, with Matherin and Garland in the lineup,
they're gonna be interested in Indiana tonight Matthews his first try
against his opponent, his former team, and they've got a
backcourt now you know, their back court in the future
is all of a sudden healthy and playing. But if
I'm making a case for the Clips, it's just let's
bet against Indiana, you know. I mean, the Pacers have
fought the good fight this year. I'll give them credit,
but it doesn't And as of now, this last market
move towards the Clippers just talked about, now they're thirteen's
that just popped up for La. That's the market's telling us.
They don't think Siakam's gonna play tonight. They don't think
it's going to play tonight. They don't think them Heart's
going to play tonight. And without that trio, Indiana is
as bad as any you know, they make Brooklyn look good,
you know, I mean they do. The Pacers have had
a rough time without any of their veterans in recent games,
and I don't think that changes tonight. So if you're
making a case for the clips, just bet against the
Pacers team that doesn't want wins and doesn't have healthy stars.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a hard case that you must try. But
one thing we can say, Andy, Ben Shepherd, are we going?
Ben Shepherd Over's baby? Hey, let's go here, Andy? All right, Andy,
you got to break down and sell the folks on
why Indiana can cover twelve points on the road here
with no one.
Speaker 2: Well, the Pacers are playing like I feel.
Speaker 3: Not inspiring confidence out the gate.
Speaker 5: Andy.
Speaker 1: Also thanks a lot, Dan for not even giving me
an extra point and a half point.
Speaker 2: No, we'll just go back minus.
Speaker 5: We're not even gon.
Speaker 1: Acknowledge the line move. I okay, Honestly, something stinks about
this spread. Why is this not seventeen eighteen nineteen. They
just lost by nineteen to Memphis, who's a team that's
pretty much tanking. Before that, they lost by twenty four
to Charlotte, and oh, by the way, those are at home.
So you go back to the last time that they
played on the road. Well, at least they covered this
twelve point spread in one of their last couple of
road games. In fact, they actually are two and two
on the road. Granted those wins are against Brooklyn, but
they did beat the New York Nets. And this is
a the Clippers are gonna put Garland in the starting lineup,
take him for a test drive, but they don't need to.
They don't need to. They don't need to embarrass a
team like this. So I expect the big first half
from the Clippers. Then they pull off the dogs and
they put in their backups and we get a very lethargic,
low scoring second half where the score looks a lot
closer than what it really is. So I don't I
don't see a big Mathren like revenge thing.
Speaker 2: He didn't. It's not like he left on bad terms
or anything.
Speaker 1: It's not like the Pacers didn't like him or that
there was internal strife. So I think this is kind
of a Clippers take you easy on the Pacers tonight.
Speaker 2: And the Pacers keep doing what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They're doing what they're supposed to do, lose, don't, don't
even get close to winning.
Speaker 2: So I think they lose and cover this twelve points.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the line move certainly suggests that nem Hart
and Ney Smith and Siakam are gonna play, are gonna
not play? And if they don't, yes, I will be
looking at Ben Sheppard in his mustache to go over
seven and a half eight and a half points if
he's in the starting lineup.
Speaker 3: Well, I will say when when Teddy's smirk happened when
I said we'll call it twelve and Teddy you have
to lay it. That may have told his story there.
But folks, let us know who you think is going
to be covering this. LA Clippers and Teddy comment bat
below with your wage to talk user name. Indiana Clippers
and Andy comment that below with your wage to talk
us name, And that's how to be entered in for
your free three day flex pass. And ye I didn't
do that awful of job because one of the best
sports books in the world Circa is hanging twelve right now.
So I didn't do that awful of a job for you.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, I didn't give you a little bit of cooking.
Speaker 7: In fact, looking at the Odds Logic live on screen
right now, you can get an eleven and a half.
Oh is gone, literally just popped.
Speaker 3: Until Teddy's damn good breakdown.
Speaker 7: And then eleven and a half and then then it
just it literally moved as I was talking. I'm like, oh,
there it goes. That's the beauty of the O Logic
live oz screen is you can see the lines that
you want to bet disappear in front of your eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at it right now myself, Teddy. And
speaking of Odds Logic, you have an Odds Logic code,
But what else do you have over at wt dot,
buzz backslash TC for the clients rocking tonight.
Speaker 7: Single best bet in the NBA for tonight, single best
bet in college hoops as well. Don't buy a play,
get on board with the package we got the three
by three days, get three free. That's a very reasonably
priced opportunity to get on board through this weekend. In
the next week, buy three, get three uh sixty nine bucks.
That's a better package than buying a play for today.
We'll sign up with one of the longer term deals.
That would be my recommendation, obviously. If you want to
hang out with me and make some money together, let's
partner up. Check the homepage wt dot Buzz, Backslash TC
and check out the new show Teddy's Tips each and
every day. Right here, I'm with your Talk TV.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: Try to get in and out of the NBA card
in ten minutes, so lots of NBA info in a
relatively short time.
Speaker 2: And it's gone.
Speaker 3: It's gone. Yeah, literally, like yeah, he points out, you
did this South Park meme. Teddy was literally, there's a
lat and it's gone. He didn't even get the words
out of his mouth. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Teddy, always great talking. Absolutely ridiculous. You won't
give me the this is the line move, Dan? Absolutely yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm sorry, but like I again, if I'm on,
if i'm if I'm posting the same line as Jeffrey Benson,
I'll live with it.
Speaker 5: I'll live with it, you.
Speaker 1: Know, all good, all good, So guys, your your commenting
in the in the live chat, you gotta do in
the comments.
Speaker 3: Coming after the show. So once the show is done,
Andy and I always say let's go off, and then
there's that awkward three seconds where stream Yard shuts it
down and Andy and I just stay staring there at
the screen. After that awkward three seconds, comment below with
who you think is going to cover l A Clippers
or Indiana. Make sure you include your way to talk
user name. If you don't comment below. If you don't
include your way to talk user name, tough tuckas you're
not in you're not included.
Speaker 5: Andy, There you go.
Speaker 2: It says a lot that they're not even giving us.
Speaker 1: Benton Shepherd points props. Otherwise, I was going to suggest that.
Speaker 3: For Stared that was one of my favorite. Cash is
a favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's bring on Ross the ball,
Benjamin the Boss.
Speaker 2: Ross Ross.
Speaker 5: It's all good.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 6: You remind me of a bookie I had back in
the eighties. I called in when you still have to
call in on the phone illegally, and I took I
told him I want Green Bay minus six. He goes, oops,
Ross the line just moved to seven and a half.
Speaker 3: You still want him, you still want it? Yeah? Oh man,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 6: My recreation brought back of memory.
Speaker 3: You know that at least not at least I hit
him with a half point. I didn't move him a
full point. That's that's I get over a team number,
you know. Yeah, because you called too, because he's like,
all right, I'm sick of this guy killing me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how you guys doing?
Speaker 2: Man, I I'm battling it. Ross.
Speaker 1: I can't lie to you, I can't lie to everybody
I have. There is a sickness in my house, my wife,
and I've never seen my wife this sick for this
long not I'm.
Speaker 5: Sorry to hear that years.
Speaker 6: And I hope you both feel better, very very soon.
And the folks out there ought to appreciate the fact
that Andy, you know, stepping up even though he's not
one hundred percent well.
Speaker 3: Ross I had to fill in and I hosted the
show on Monday for Andy, and then Andy saw the comments.
He was like, don't worry, guys, I'll be back the
rest of the week. Don't don't.
Speaker 6: Many men you do. If there's ever going to be
a one A, you're certainly it.
Speaker 3: I'll take it now, Andy, Andy and I balance each other.
Speaker 5: Out well, man.
Speaker 3: So so I'm glad. I'm glad that I'll take Andy
at fifty percent over many people at one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: So we'll we'll and I could u it, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, Ross, you have an NBA game and a
college basketball game since you're finally back, Buddy, we missed
you the last few weeks. The listeners missed you, the
viewers missed you. I'll let you pick first. You want
to go NBA or college basketball?
Speaker 6: Ross, we can go ahead and be hey, you know,
I missed two guys as well, so and I missed
the viewers out there. The Hawks and the Bucks nine
to forty Eastern Time game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Right now, the Bucks are a one and a half
point favorite. This game opened as a pick them. Milwaukee
has moved to one and a half. Total is two
thirty two. But I'm going to concentrate on the side.
And this is a think like an odds maker special
here for me, and you know, me and Andy used
to do a segment during football season we called this
line makes no sense. And when you look at this
line on the surface and recent results, this certainly doesn't
make any sense if you don't do a deep dive.
I mean, the Hawks have gone four and oh straight
up in ats in their last four games, not only
winning those games but winning by twenty four points per contest.
The Bucks, conversely, are zero and three straight up in
eight yes and the last three losing by an average
of twenty six point three points per game. Yet, the
Milwaukee Bucks are a favorite right now. Uh, but let's
look a little deeper into this. It's worth noting that
Atlanta four game win streak that I just alluded to.
All fourtos wins came at home and against inferior opposition.
They beat the Washington Wizards twice in this four game
win streak. They also beat the Brooklyn Nuts and Portland Trailblazers. Folks,
those four teams have a combined record of sixty to
one twenty four. That's a three to twenty six win percentage.
You look at Milwaukee and where they are in the
standings right now, there are four games behind Atlanta, the
team they're playing tonight for the final wildcard spot with
they have twenty one games left. Atlanta has twenty games
left if they have any aspiration of getting into the postseason.
I'm not talking about making a deep run, but just
getting into the postseason. This is a must win, and
I think the urgency and desperation in this matchup certainly
will lie with the Bucks. I'm also gonna think like
an odds maker and Andy, this line makes no sense,
and that's why I'm going with Milwaukee here. I'm gonna
use the money line here. I can get a price
of minus one p fifteen. I would go up to
minus one twenty five on the Bucks on the money line.
If you have to lay the point spread, I have
no problem with that either. But I'm on the Milwaukee
Bucks here minus one fifteen over the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, smart man, take the points spread out of the equation.
But if you need to, folks to save on some juice,
He's not fully opposed, but we'll call it the money
line with the Bucks taking on the Hawks. And this
is from a man who since what it would be
five years of action. This man is up seventy six
units on NBA side. So when he talks money lines,
when he talks spreads, damn it, you better listen because
Ross knows what he's talking about, and you know, you
know things on the hardwood as well. Ross, real quick
before we talk this game that we have for the folks,
let folks know what you have up and also just
talk about, you know, the strength that you have been
to the wage you talk, roster man. It can't be
understated or overstated. You know you've been running hot in
college basketball. You do great on the video, So just
talk a little bit about you know, how you found
this success, what you've been running hot and what clients
when they hop on over at WT dot Buzz, Backslash RB,
what they can expect.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for.
Speaker 6: The kind word, stand and I am very proud to
be part of the wage you talk staff. It's the
best thing that ever happened to me in my long
career in this industry. So, having said that, since May
thirteenth last year, all sports premium picks up over one
hundred and eighty seven units in that profit and that's
number one talk during that course of time. Also was
number one in all sports during the twenty twenty five
calendar gear at Wager talk. So I've been rolling good
for quite a while. Not college basketball. I'm twenty five
and twelve in fifty nine and thirty nine runs that's
sixty seven percent, sixty percent, And like Dan just alluded to,
MBA sides up seventy six point three ZHO units since
March to sixteen. Folks, you know, it's all about making
money long term in this industry. I get it that
some of you just like to play once in a while,
and that's what the daily packages are for or the
weekly packages. But if you're somebody who aspires to make
money over the long haul when it comes to sports
betting and be in the minority of sports betters that
does so, then you know, invest in me in the
three hundred and sixty five day All Access Pass, which
cost you fourteen hundred and fifty nine dollars right now.
It's a limited time offer. It's five hundred and forty
dollars below our normal pricing. Not only will you get
my all my premium picks in all sports, including five
percent best bets over the next three hundred and sixty
five days, you're also going to get a twenty five
percent off bonus coupon that you could use on any
other handicapper for unlimited use throughout the entirety of that
three hundred and sixty five day period. So a lot
of good stuff on my end right here, and you
know a lot of good stuff on the wager talk
dot com and uh, you know great handicappers at wager
Talk TV. And I'm flattered to be part of this
great site and be the peers of some of my
fellow handicappers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and right back at you, brother, All right, let's
talk some of this college basketball action. You have been
tasked here, Ross with the Lobos taking on the Rams,
and they're laying a price here man. So total in
this one right around minus a total around one point fifty.
Speaker 5: How are you looking at bet this one?
Speaker 2: Ross?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going to concentrate on the total as you are.
Look up to Dan again. This for those of you
who like to watch and bet well. This is on
CBS Sports Network at ten pm Eastern tonight. New Mexico
has gone over the total in their last three at home,
with a combined average of one hundred and sixty five
point six points scored per game. Colorado State has gone
three and zero to the over in the last three
on the road, with a combined one hundred and sixty
six point seven points scored per game. Colorado State currently
on a seven game win streak, and a lot of
that has been prompted by their offense, which has averaged
eighty one point eight points per game, shot just under
fifty two percent from the field, thirty nine percent from
beyond the three point strike, and just to shade under
eighty percent from the free throw line. And boy, oh boy,
it had some pretty hot shooting and pretty some pretty
dynamic offense during the seven game win streak. Also keep
in mind, Colorado State attempts the most three point shots
in Mountain West Conference play, as forty seven point seven
percent of their field goal attempts come from beyond the
three point line, and they hit a very respectable thirty
five point nine percent from three point land and it
ranks number four in the Mountain West Conference. So and
on defense, not so special, number ten in defensive efficiency
in the Mountain West. So New Mexico, on the other hand,
number three, offensive efficiency, number one, in offensive tempo number two,
and three point shooting in Mountain West Conference play as
a matter of fact, thirty eight point five percent from
beyond the three point stripe for New Mexico during conference play.
I'm gonna go over to total here, guys, Colorado State,
New Mexico over one fifty. And don't forget folks, I
do solo videos Monday through Friday every weekday right here
on wager Talk TV and my personal link under videos
wt Dot Buzz Forward Slash Ross Steve Eat. It's wt
Dot Buzz Forward slash Ross TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, check him out, one of the more popular guys
that we have dropping videos. He gives you the free
plays and he wins enough for you so you can
buy the client plays as well. So there you go. Ross.
Always appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: Best of luck tonight and great having you back.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 5: We'll see you next.
Speaker 6: Thank you standing man, Dandy. I hope you feel better,
my friend.
Speaker 2: I wis thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you will eventually, Andy, hopefully sooner rather than later.
But eventually. I mean, it cannot persist. This aggression cannot stand.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: I told my wife this morning. I was like, am
I just lazy?
Speaker 1: I think when you sleep eighteen hours a day over
three days, I don't think that's lazy.
Speaker 2: I think you.
Speaker 3: Any live streams of events? I would, I would. People
can call you many things. Lazy is not an adjective
to describe when it won Andy.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, All right, well let's do all around the world.
While Ross was talking, I scoured my books and I.
Speaker 2: Cannot find a Ben Shephard line on point.
Speaker 5: So, uh, they're scared Andy.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, we'll pass on WTF LFG, but
let's go to some preplace here today. Jackson lacombe over
zero point five points, so will you have a point?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: This guy's been a point machine.
Speaker 1: Point in all four games since the All Star Game,
pointing sixteen at the last nineteen games. Had a point
against the Islanders earlier this season, Islanders giving up ten
goals in three games since the All Star Game. I'm
gonna buy into Colin Morikawa at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
It's always about putting with this guy, and if he's
not putting well, this guy's capable of missing the cut.
Speaker 2: If he's putting.
Speaker 1: Decent, he's capable of winning the tournament and last couple
of weeks first and seventh in his last two tournaments.
Speaker 2: His putting is in the plus strokes game, and.
Speaker 1: I think this minus won twenty two is a good
price at top twenty. It's a ball striker's paradise here
and he's one of the best on tour, if not
the best outside of Shuffler. So I'll take a take
a roll of the dice that calm Murri Kawa gets
his putter going today, and then I am going to
go to this Clippers Pacers game. There's a guy I
do like, Chris Dunn over seven and a half points.
Garland played last game. Now Garland's coming off the bench.
But Donn had sixteen points against Golden State and he's
playing depleted Indiana. They give up twenty two points to
shooting guards per game. This guy is going to get
so many open looks like there are all the Clippers
are going to get the open looks. I think this
is a Kawhi doesn't have to do a whole lot
in this game type of situation where some of the
role players can get their points and get their stats.
So Chris done over seven and a half points. He's
getting plenty of shot attempts against a bad defense. So
those are gonna be your three at free plays for
the day.
Speaker 3: Boom, Well done, Andy, and I will say no WTF
or LFG for today, but.
Speaker 5: We will be back.
Speaker 3: The champ series in PLL continues tomorrow, so we'll have
some plays in that college lacrosse is back as well.
Speaker 5: So we'll continue.
Speaker 3: We'll stay on fifty for now with our thirty and
twenty record, but there will be ones coming in Andy.
Speaker 5: Don't forget.
Speaker 3: One of the ones that we gave that we scoffed
at was that future where we had the California Redwoods
to win it all. They were plus two to eighty.
They're now minus one twenty. So knock on wood, maybe
we'll even be getting that future home that we can
that we can tout here.
Speaker 5: In a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, futures, Our futures are tough for WTFLFG.
Speaker 3: It doesn't count, but it still counts, you know. So
technically we've had fifty one plays, Andy, but only fifty
of them have been graded.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if it wins, we'll count it. If it loses, we'll.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I never met a future. Now we're kidding.
Speaker 5: We keep things above.
Speaker 2: Here, folks, getting kidding now. Thirteen twenty is really really good.
Speaker 1: So we also got darts tomorrow, so we'll have a
We got a lot to look forward to for this weekend.
So please hit the like button and leave us comment
below to win a three day pass if you if
you somehow agree with me that the pacers are going
to cover this.
Speaker 3: Commenting Andy just out of principle. I'm commenting Andy with
my wager talk user name out of principle. But if
you agree with Teddy, I'm at Teddy in your wager
talk user name.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely so uh yeah, if you agree Teddy, put
your wage. We got to put your wager talk user
name down there, so you're not out. Sure you're make
sure you're you're getting those. Thanks very much for joining us, guys.

Speaker 2: Take care,
