Speaker 1: Welcome to the best betting show ever. I'm Lawrence President.
We got a great show lined up today. Joe Rniary, Art, Disease,
are a ton of betting information, and Steve Merrill joining
us halfway through art. How you doing brother? Okay, nobody
cares Joe?
Speaker 2: Wow, whoo that was art art.
Speaker 1: We found out today that Joe is over the age
of fifty. Did you would you have thought that I
had the under?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, so do I. I had the under as well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think his neck gives it away.
I'm in such a good mood today. Hey, Joe, whatever
could go up my ass. I'll take what I can get.
Speaker 2: There you go. You're in a good mode. Art.
Speaker 1: I love it now we know why before we get
into the show. Old Disclosure finally lost a five percent
NHL money line bet. It took two years, but I
had the maple leaves. They lost it over time. We
had some really bad puck luck, but it happens. I mean,
if I could win every one of these plays, I
wouldn't be doing this. I would just be rolling my
money through one after another until it doubles and quadruples
and quintuples. So my apologies to you guys. We won
the one on Tuesday, we lost the one last night.
It happens. Let's move on, all right, where's the money going?
Let's stick with NFL. Has there been any moves of
substance since I ell asleep?
Speaker 3: There have not been, but I will update Ticke accounts.
You know, we're about three to one New England to
Denver as far as tickets go, and we're about four
to one on Seattle to the Rams in total have
not moved since yesterday. Obviously we talked about the New
England Denver big move in the total from forty and
a half on the opener now all the way up
to forty two and a half Ramseyahawks pretty much two
and a half. I think we're gonna stay there unless
we get overwhelmed by someone we really respect. But you know,
obviously tomorrow we should see a lot more Saturday, we'll
see a ton of public action because once the weekend
comes around and get a lot of people in town.
So just start seeing a lot more public stuff on Saturday.
Speaker 4: But right now the lines aren't.
Speaker 1: Budget Yeah, Joe, really quick, I'm jumping in. We do
have four and a halfs though on New England, so
there is clearly money coming in on New England. You
guys haven't moved, but it feels like everybody has.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean listen present.
Speaker 3: We were as high as five and a half, like
I mentioned earlier in the week, so we did take
sharp money, but ever since we got to four and
a half off that Shart money, we have not budged.
Speaker 1: Right, Joe, any follow up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny because I keep looking at the weather
for this Denver New England game. It just seems to
be getting colder, but there's no forecast for any crazy
wind or snow or anything along nose line. So it
appears that at least the market early on and you
said the limits are opening up today, Art, but it
doesn't appear like that's scaring anybody off in this game.
Speaker 2: And I think it's ironic.
Speaker 5: But my question is you're laying five and a half
with New England and you keep betting the total up,
So where are the points coming from this game? So
I don't, I mean, Denver's got a score then at
some point in here. So I'm just confused with the
movement where the Patriots are such a big road favored
in this spot and the total of all things is
going up.
Speaker 2: I thought it would have been the other way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think you're right about the cold. It's
not necessarily wind or rain or snow. It's just going
to be really cold. And I think people still feel
that there could be some points in the game. We know, eventually,
like I said, when the public money comes in, they'll
bet both games over because that's just how they approach
betting these NFL playoff games.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be really interesting to you know,
I've mentioned a bunch that the New England money line
side is going to be the number one thing will
fight out of everything because when people start coming in
coming in tomorrow, Saturday, even Sunday, New England money Line
is going to be involved in everyone's parlays. So that
is just going to be, as I always say, the
free Bengos Square that people are going to say, ah,
let's throw New England in there. My three teamer, my
four teamer, mix it up with college, NBA, NHL, so you.
Speaker 4: Know we'll be riotten for Denver.
Speaker 3: But then, like I said, do we really want Dever
in the Super Bowl with a backup quarterback?
Speaker 2: Is that good?
Speaker 4: For business.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a weird spot to.
Speaker 1: Be in Yeah Art this season joining us from the
Westgate Super Book, uh Art, Let's stick with where the
money is going and move our attention to the NBA,
college basketball and NHL a huge well. Eight games in
the NHL tonight, have a pretty decent card. Any moves
in the NHL that we're seeing, any big bets, anybody,
anybody who respect make a wager.
Speaker 3: A little bit of money came in this morning on
Dallas Love just a little bit, Yeah, a little bit
of money there. That's really the only thing to mention
in the NHL. In the NBA, our sharpess NBA guy
laid one and a half with the Rockets at the sixers.
Now it's up to two and a half. They took
the under in the Magic to twenty nine and a half,
now to twenty eight. They took the under in the
Heat game that hit as high as two forty now
two thirty seven and a half. Just seeing a big
move there. A bunch of college basketball soff Sharps took
Weaber State plus six, It took nji t plus eight,
It took Campbell plus four, It took Main plus six.
They laid three and a half with James Madison, they
laid five and a half with Austin p they laid
eight and a half with app State, and they also
laid nine with Sacred Heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'd say what a barn burner.
Speaker 5: That is nothing with the biggest game of the night, though,
which is Wisconsin and Penn State, which is ironic because
it's the only it's the big ten game of the
night here. But I don't know why the number felt
a little light to me. I mean, Penn State does
not want a big ten game yet, and it just
feels like I either the books are setting us up
here art or there's gonna be an awful lot of
money coming in late here for this one, because five
and a half makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a very high total.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 3: I actually think the over is the play in that game.
I could see them getting up and down. I think
the total is like one sixty one sixty one.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: It feels like a game where there will be a
lot of points. Hence State can score a little bit,
but they don't play a lot of defense, and we
know the way Wisconsin likes to play now. But you're right,
Joe We I mean really haven't seen much on the
side as far as that game goes.
Speaker 4: Art.
Speaker 1: Do people ever bet college hockey? Is that like a thing?
Speaker 3: So for US college hockey, the only thing we have
until we get to the tournament is we just have
the future book.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Obviously, to win the championship, it's a small finite number
of people who come in, mostly Midwest and East Coast
people who want to bet their Midwest and East Coast
hockey teams, So we don't get a ton of action
on that. I will say this though, once we get
to the tournament, and especially once we get to the
Frozen four, you start to see some bets.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to follow that up with the Olympics
right around the corner art a couple of weeks away.
Are you guys thinking what happens in the Olympics. In
the Olympics, you're taking future bets? Now? Are there gonna
be bets on, you know, just the premier sports or
can we bet on loge?
Speaker 3: Well that's a great question. We try to give as
much of the premier sports as we can. Obviously, as
we get closer, I'll be able to just kind of
give you more of our menu. The number one sport
that attracts the most money, no doubt is hockey. You know,
we've had we've had the hockey up for a while,
so people like to come in and bet that. But
we try to offer as much as we can. You know,
it's tough because it's not like we have some sort
of Olympic expert, you know, for for us the most
most of the stuff outside of the hockey, we're gonna
be putting up his market stuff just to have for people.
But as we get closer to that, I'll be able
to kind of give out our full menu.
Speaker 5: Oh nothing like late night curling to put your right
to sleep outstanding, just outstanding.
Speaker 2: Stop the Olympics there.
Speaker 5: How about our We got our first I believe, first
couple of free I guess if you want to call
it right With Paramount and UFC fights coming up here
tomorrow one Friday there, you know they're gonna hit it in.
Speaker 2: The chat room.
Speaker 5: So you're gonna have to find out for us if
there's any sort of UFC money or push coming up.
Now that nobody has to pay ninety five dollars to
get a useless pay per view card that basically a
subscription to Paramount now will We'll save you an awful
lot of money to get those fights.
Speaker 4: No, it's great.
Speaker 3: We've actually been promoting in the book that we're offering
this now. Yeah, you know you can come in and
watch UFC. It's not something where we just have the
prelimbs and then everyone moans and groans because we don't
have the pay per view stuff. So I think that's
going to be really good for business. We do really
good UFC business, and I will try tomorrow to give
out a couple of fights that maybe have seen some money,
maybe have seen some line moving. I'm not the biggest
UFC guy myself, but I recognize how important it is
to the sportsbook. We do good business on it.
Speaker 1: And lastly, Art Love Island All Stars is coming out.
What are the lines on that?
Speaker 2: Good point? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, President, I set my Do people still have DVRs?
I set my DVR for.
Speaker 1: Yes, just is obsessed with that stupid show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. I don't know if it still works,
but Yes, was amazing.
Speaker 1: Really anyway, aren't the These are dorridary? Guys? Hit that
lif button. Subscribe to our channel, make sure to comment
over one hundred comments yesterday Andy and Wager Talk Today
had in the two hundreds, but they did Cheap Joe.
They had they had guys putting, like you know, comment
c So I don't know, but you know what, shout
out to all the people who commented on both shows yesterday.
We lost the comment off, but I'm happy about that
because we normally get one hundred comments a day and
they normally get seventeen. So shout out to the people
who commented, especially the ones who commented on both yes
shows are Lay of the Day. I'm gonna go first,
my brother Vegas Golden Knights on the road playing a
Boston Bruins team that is about to go on a
losing streak minus one thirty five.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 3: I said a couple of weeks ago. Boston is going
to be a fade moving forward. Yep, college basketball Southern
Miss on the road. They're catching one and a half
or two, but you know what, give me them on
the money line plus one fifteen. They'll win the game
out right.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: So Charlotte shit the bed for us yesterday because they
decided to always score twelve points in the second quarter. However,
they are absolute money on the second of a back
to back, no rest. They are seven and one. I
believe in that spot so far this year Orlando first
game back from Europe and it didn't work out. We
had Atlanta last night and didn't work out for Memphis
in their first game back from that European trip.
Speaker 2: Don't think it's gonna work out for Orlando laying six
and a half.
Speaker 5: So I'll take Charlotte plus the six and a half
here tonight for my leg.
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, Well.
Speaker 2: That'll do it.
Speaker 5: Then for parlay of the day. We will have a
fourth leg coming up when Steve Merrill joins us. But Art,
what else is going on over at the West Gate
for you here this weekend?
Speaker 3: Listen, it'll be a very busy weekend obviously with the
championship games, like you mentioned the UFC, so we'll have
a lot of fun. We'll be back tomorrow to kind
of put the icing on the cake for these NFL games.
And I'll see you boys tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Boo, you're the best, all right, guess stays are Joe
and Airy. Welcome Steve Merrill, everybody. Steve Merrill, glad to
have you, man.
Speaker 4: We're gonna do.
Speaker 1: This every Thursday and Friday. We're excited. We're right in
the middle of our parlay of the day. I gave
out Vegas, Joe gave out Charlotte, Art gave out Southern miss.
We're going with a four leggers for us.
Speaker 6: Let's just say three team parlays are hard enough to hit.
Now we're gonna make it a four legger. I'll go
to college hoops my neck of the woods. The CAA
used to be the Colonial annow it's the coastal still
the CAA. I'm gonna go with Hofstra minus the nine
and a half at North Carolina A and T the
best team against the worst team. I'll take Hofstra tonight,
lay in the nine and a half on the road.
I think that's a seven and eastern start in college.
Speaker 4: Oops.
Speaker 1: There you go. There's our first ever four team parlay.
Throw it in a round robin. With the round robin, Stephen,
Joe and I'll go to you first, Steve. Do we
suggest all combos, twos and threes. I'd like to stay
away from the twos. I'd like I prefer you go
with three. The threes in the four.
Speaker 4: I play them all single because I hate parlays. It's
a terrible dev I know. We don't do that, we know, Joe,
I gotta get them worked up. In my first appearance
with them, I gotta get them worked up. I will
say this.
Speaker 6: The one good thing about around robin two teamers is
if you have multiple outs, as you should, you can
shop around and get the best lines. The problem with
the four teamer, I mean, three teamers are tough. The
problem with the four teamer you got to dood at
the same sports books, so the odds are you're probably
not getting the optimal line on every single play. So yeah,
I would say, if you're gonna do it, I make
a bunch of two teamers just.
Speaker 4: For that reason.
Speaker 6: If you have multiple sports books, you'll probably giving yourself
a better better chance to win.
Speaker 4: And we can clip the two teamer that wins tomorrow
we can promote it. Yeah, it's a great marketing tool.
Speaker 1: Sure we're not doing that people, Joe, what do you think?
Speaker 5: I agree the two teams. The only way that I
would play them all is is, you know, in the
NFL season, sometimes you know you like all of these teams,
but you don't like of spreads. You put a five
team round robin and you just go five, four, three, two,
and then you're play it across the board and you
know your odds are pretty good of at least breaking
even if you can win three of those in that spots.
But we're not talking about minus four dollars favorites here.
I would only do it on the money line. I
wouldn't use spreads involved in any of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean for me, I listen, I hate two
team parlays flat they are. They're just it's supposed to
be in a minus one ten environment. You're supposed to
be getting four to one on your money. You're getting
two point six to one on your money. That is
way worse percentage wise than a three teamer where you're
getting six to one and you should be getting eight
to one one. So I just I just don't like
two team parlays. But you guys do what you want
to do. Let us know in the comments section how
you're going to attack our four team parlay real quick.
Speaker 6: I mean, since you guys are mixing in hockey too,
that's obviously a money line sport a lot. And I
mean Hofstra tonight is minus nine and a half. They're
like minus four to seventy five minus five hundred, So
you could treat Hofstra as a money line play as well.
If you're doing that, then I would do a three
or four teamers. So if you're going to do yeah,
if you're gonna do that, like maybe use money lines,
you know, if you're doing a four team er, if
you're doing point spreads puck lines, do a two team
around Robin.
Speaker 1: Yep, Well, Charlotte at plus six and a half seven
or Joe kind of messed that money line concept up,
but I guess hey, take it on an old line
at plus twelve.
Speaker 6: With the money line on the favorites, right, yeah, six
plus six and a half minus five hundred.
Speaker 1: There, Yeah, yep, there you go. This is the best
betting show ever. Guys, thank you for watching it. That
like button, subscribe to our channel, make sure to comment.

Speaker 6: Just a bit outside for making the best bet card
to get the bonus free play as well, and get
there quicker WT dot buzz slash sm.
Speaker 1: Steve Merrill, everyone, Joe, I got an eight pack for
my clients tonight. I have four NHL plays in one day.
I've only had four NHL plays on the same day
once this year. And while it was Tuesday, and I
went four and oh I love my card tonight. All
four NHL plays, I got two NBA and two college
basketball on an eight and three old sports run. Look,
I lost my five percent play yesterday. I get it.
But other than that, I'm pretty much winning. I'm gonna
lose a play here and there, obviously, but I love
my card tonight. And in NFL, I know Joe Ranieri
is a five percent play, which by the way, presidentially approved.
I love his play. I have a four percent play
on another game, so you could buy both, Joe, and
I know problem and myur percent NFL play is a
point spread play, which is what I do best. And
I'm also on a seven and zero run in four
percent bets. So yeah, check that out.
Speaker 4: Joe.
Speaker 1: What are you not going?
Speaker 5: Oh you said a five percent NFL play this weekend. Actually,
I'm playing both games there that are available. We've got
two college basketball too, NBA Best betch that package available
up at wager talk dot com. Let's get it rolling here.
Speaker 1: Prez Okay, brother bet spats, Steve, you want to go.
Speaker 4: First, I'm gonna keep it simple.
Speaker 6: I'm going back with Hofster, but I want to give
some reasoning behind what I just used in that parlay.
I'd like Hoster for a few reasons. First of all,
currently the best team in the CAAA. There's three really
good teams right now, Hostra Willem and Mary n C
Wilmington and by the way, will Mary plays NC Woman's
to night at home and then Hofster Saturday at home. Hofstra, though,
might be looking forward to that big game this Saturday
against WIM and Mary, but I don't think they're gonna
overlook tonight against North Carolina A and T because Hofster,
off back to back losses, still of them as the
highest rated team in the Colonial What the coastal CAA,
North Carolina A and T still is the weakest team,
by the way, I went to the game last week
Willy against A and T, saw them play in person,
and then I use Hampton in a free play video
Monday right here on wager Talk TV and recommended fading
A and T. They lost by twenty one. And now
they're facing the best team in a focused spot off
back to back losses and with host having a tough
game on deck Saturday, they will not overlook tonight's game.
There's no look ahead here played if you're gonna lay
it with Hofster minus nine and a half, like taking
good teams and focus spots, and that's what we've got tonight.
Speaker 1: There we go. That's a great breakdown, Joe. I'll give
out mine and it's the Dallas Stars. And just to
let you guys know, we bet the Dallas Stars on
Tuesday night against Boston. They probably played the best game
they played all season, and I do think it carries over.
We're going to be looking to bet on the Dallas
Stars moving forward. This is a really really really good
hockey team, maybe a top five, top three hockey team
in the Tire League. And they've really had a horrible
month of hockey. They've lost three of their last four.
This team has lost seven of their last ten. But
they're way too good for that. All that does is
give us opportunity to bet on them in your end perspective,
in the offensive end perspective. Every metric suggested that Boston
that Dallas played a hell of a game. I think
it transfers over here. I think this Dallas team is
galvanised and will get it together. But I also like
the spot to bet against Columbus. A Columbus team, any
team that is sort of bad or mediocre that goes
on a long winning streak. And when I say long,
four games is good enough. And Columbus beat Utah, Calgary, Vancouver,
and Pittsburgh, they won all or of them. Then they
lost to Ottawa. I think Columbus is a bet against
team over the next little while. So on one hand,
I love the Stars. On the other hand, I don't
like Columbus. It's a short number minus one twenty take Dallas.
Speaker 5: Joe Ooh all right, well, I'm gonna go I guess
we got one college game one Ahl, I'll go NBA
for a best bet here tonight. And I honestly do
not understand the unbelievable, undying love today for the Dallas
Mavericks at home catching five and a half points against
Golden State Warriors. Here, I'm showing sixty six percent of
the tickets, eighty nine percent of the money.
Speaker 2: Oh, they loved.
Speaker 5: The problem is this line is not moving. In fact,
it's only moved towards Golden State. And I agree, I
think it's a great by low spot for Golden State
here tonight. Anybody that has watched Dallas play basketball this year,
not very good. Kaminga comes in to replace Jimmy Butler,
even though the kid hasn't played in four months drops
twenty plus in that last game against Unfortunately Toronto didn't
work out all that way for the Golden State Warriors,
who had to play without Jimmy Butler that first game,
second of a back to back. But now they're rested,
Now they've had a chance to kind of breathe here
a little bit, and this is still a much better
team than the Dallas Mavericks. Not to mention, i'd expect
Steph Curry and others to go a bit nuclear here
tonight and the quiet all of the naysayers. Now the
Golden State is not gonna make the playoffs. Golden State's
no good stick of forging them.
Speaker 2: They're done.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they may be done, but they can still
be teams like Dallas by margin, and I think they
do just that tonight.
Speaker 2: Press.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listened. I just bent Golden State recently and
they won and covered for us. Joe, before we get
into our NBA NHL at college basketball Rundown, I have
a question to the audience, Joe, if you could put
up that image of Steve Merrill, you know the WT
dot buzz, that Steve Merrill's image. So I want you
guys to take a look, spend some time enjoying Steve's picture.
Now if you could put up mine.
Speaker 2: You want me to put up your picture? Okay, let
me see you there we go.
Speaker 1: The question I ask you all, is whose picture is older?
Like I'm guessing Steve Merrill that was from.
Speaker 6: Like it looks so different now, Joe, right, it's obviously
not me anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you going to ever redo that picture or
that night?
Speaker 5: I don't, I mean that looks exactly like him? What
what are we doing?
Speaker 1: I never said it doesn't look like him. I just
said it's old as shit.
Speaker 4: I'll say, I'll do the same.
Speaker 1: Old were you in that picture, Steve?
Speaker 4: Older than today? You didn't take it today?
Speaker 1: Go younger than today, genius. Anyway, it's time to redo
that picture. You are now an old man.
Speaker 6: President will say this, you look younger today than you're
doing that picture. So you're doing I know, Yes, I
totally congratulations. I think he's figured it out. He's done
the reverse aging thing.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of credit you're throwing his way, Steve.
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's figured anything out here, but
that's that's good.
Speaker 6: Though he does, Joe, I will make sure I take
a new headshot every day before the show. Yes, but
even then it's going to be older, even though it
won't be current.
Speaker 1: Shot was from twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I know, Steve.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they don't fix it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, yeah, I know his.
Speaker 5: Secret because he dropped this on us yesterday before the
show started, so I should share it with you in
the audience.
Speaker 1: Whatever could go up my ass. I'll take what I
can get.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 7: And that's pretty much what the photo that's photo, Yeah,
making sense, no photo that he's obviously stopped.
Speaker 4: He's obviously stopped because he looks younger.
Speaker 2: Now he doesn't take what that's the problem that you.
Speaker 4: Like that jumpsuit? What do you see the back?
Speaker 2: There is no back.
Speaker 1: That was the fact.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 6: I can't go wrong. There's no front, No, no front. Yeah,
intoxicated as you won't put that thing on correctly.
Speaker 2: That's correct.
Speaker 4: Check you pulled this up and hanging on some branches.
Just swing from that?
Speaker 2: Are we doing sex?
Speaker 1: Sexy?
Speaker 4: Who started this?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 4: Doesn't realize it's two against one.
Speaker 6: It's a two on one break, Joe, We're gonna have
the edge every episode.
Speaker 4: He just doesn't realize the numbers.
Speaker 2: No, I'm okay with it, dude.
Speaker 1: We're two on one against Brian Power every Monday.
Speaker 4: That's a good I was just gonna say, that's exactly
a present. This is different than when Brian's on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people have been making fun of me my
whole life.
Speaker 4: Fantastic jo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, putting macattack, this whole show has gone off the
rails and the guest everything, it's just a mess.
Speaker 1: Now, well, let's go to breakdown, dude, I can't.
Speaker 2: Are we ready for an NBA breakdown? Good God?
Speaker 4: Good luck?
Speaker 2: All right, Joe, all right, let me try to do
this here with a straight face. All right.
Speaker 5: So we do have a handful of games here tonight.
Denver and Washington is your first game. Listen, Denver can
be down everyone. They can play with three guys and
still likely cover this number of five and a half
against the Washington Wizards tonight.
Speaker 2: Charlotte.
Speaker 5: Now, some question marks about whether or not LaMelo ball
Wild be playing. We know Trey Man is not second
of a back to back, but I will say this
eight and one this season is what they are against
the number in these spots. They've been very good with
no rest, especially as an underdog this year, and that's
where they find himself in Orlando. By the way, no
Jalen Suggs here tonight. They thought they might get him
back for Orlando, but he is not back there. Houston
and Philly the game of the night overnight line. So
a Houston at three, we've seen nothing but Philly money
coming in. Embid is a go for this game tonight.
Paul George still questionable, but it does feel like maybe
an under could be in play here tonight with that
one I told you about Golden State and Dallas, Chicago
and Minnesota. I couldn't imagine any under I'd want to
sweat out less than this one here tonight. Josh geteback
for Minnesota tonight. That should be actually of nothing else
an entertaining high scoring game, Utah, San Antonio, San Antonio,
Land What now thirteen in this one? Yeah, it doesn't
shock me that they would actually run away with this
although no Lori marketing again tonight, But I still wouldn't
sweat out an under here. I'd only look at the
over Miami and Portland. Yeah, we're starting to see a
little bit of Portland love now in the marketplace. Miami
overnight line is a slight one one and a half
point favorite.
Speaker 2: It is flipped.
Speaker 5: I'm seeing Portland now as the favorite under money all
day long in that one. And of course, the Lakers
and the Clippers all gonna hinge on whether or not
Kawhi Leonard is playing. As long as the Clippers are
a favorite, that means they think he is. I am
my doubts.
Speaker 1: Pres Well, there you go, Joe, Let's keep it moving, Joe,
Vegas going into Boston. I really like Vegas. This is
a team I'm looking to bet on moving forward. I
think they're one of the best teams in hockey, and
Boston started the season phenomenal and they're just coming off
of a huge win streak. They played a horrible game
against Dallas, and I think they're a bet against team
moving forward. Take Vegas Chicago playing Carolina tonight. Look, I'd
like to bet Chicago team total under. I think Carolina
is gonna hold Chicago to under two goals. That's what
I'm looking at tonight. I think this game is gonna
be somewhere around four to two, So Carolina minus one
and a half at Chicago team total under. Martreo playing
Buffalo tonight, I'm gonna stay away from this game, you know.
I want to see what Buffalo does moving forward. Coming
up of a loss, and martreoal is on a back
to back, I do feel like Buffalo's gonna regress, but
I also feel like Montreal is gonna regress, So I
got nothing.
Speaker 2: Dallas.
Speaker 1: I love against Columbus. I explained that in our best
bet second Florida playing Winnipeg, and I like Winnipeg. Here guys.
I've been pushing Winnipeg now for a few weeks. We
bet them big on Tuesday night. This is a huge
bet on team for me. I don't know if I'm
gonna get to the window because I do think Florida
is a bet on team moving forward, and we were
on them on Monday where they lost to San Jose.
This is the second game with Matthew could chop back.
I do think they're gonna play better. My leen is
on Winnipeg. I'm not gonna end up making that bet.
Nashville playing Ottawa. Ottawa is just terrible, but they did
win their last game for one, and I think this
game is gonna be an under six and a half
out there. I think we should be looking to bet
Ottawa games under moving forward, and same with Nashville. I
like Edmonton minus one and a half in regulation and
on the money line. An absolute brutal spot for Pittsburgh
and Detroit. Just beat Toronto last night, got on an airplane,
flew to Minnesota and they're gonna lose tonight. Take the wild,
Steve Merrill, it's time for your college basketball breakdown.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna look at two free national TV games in
college basketball for tonight on Thursday, both at seven o'clock Eastern.
And don't forget, I do have a strong NBA best
bet tonight as well for my personal client, Steve Merrill
wager Talk dot com. You get there quicker with that
shortcut WT dot buzz slash sm Let's look at the
first game on National TV on ESPN two the deuce
seven o'clock Eastern. We got South Florida at UAB, both
teams coming off tough losses. South Florida coming off a
one point loss in overtime at home on Sunday against
Wichita State. UAB tough loss because they got blown out
by twenty two against Tulsa at home on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Two teams in focused spots here. I'd rather have the home.
Speaker 6: Dog UAB catching a full three points. I make this
game pretty much a toss up, and there are some
matchup edges as well for UAB in this game. Both
teams play extremely fast, by the way, and this will
be an up and down game. Both teams also limited
turnovers this season. In fact, you a be the second
best turnover offense in the country. They turn the ball
over only about twelve and a half times a game.
It's the second best in the country out of three
hundred and sixty five teams. Both teams also do a
good job of getting to the free throw line, but
South Florida does a bad job of preventing teams from
getting to the free throw line.
Speaker 4: So I lean towards UAB plus three.
Speaker 6: But I also like the over in this game, and
we have seen some sharp money on the over, and
I agree with that move one sixty five and a
half now up to one sixty eight and a half,
even one sixty nine sixty nine and a half in
some other spots. One of the highest totals on the board,
and is you know, I always look for the highest
totals to go over, and I think this one gets
into that one to seventy plus Rangeings are two of
the fastest up tempo teams in the country. Fun game
to watch the night on the deuce at seven o'clock eastern,
take a look at UAB plus three and also up
and over one sixty eight and a half. Your other
game is also a national TV at seven eastern on
Fox Sports one. Big ten Action Wisconsin at Penn State,
and Boy, the Nitty Lions having a tough season are.
They are now zero to seven in conference play after
a twenty three point blowout loss on the road at
Maryland on Sunday, and I don't think things get any
better back at home tonight against a very good offensive
Wisconsin team. Penn State defense has been suspect all season.
Wisconsin a solid offensive team. And this isn't your granddad
or even your uncles or even your dad's Wisconsin squad.
They do not play slow down half court basketball anymore.
In fact, the Badgers one of the fastest up tempo
teams in the Big Ten this season, even one of
the faster teams in the country, ranking top sixty in
tempo and possessions. And I do think they will get
their preferred pace tonight against that bad Penn State defense.
Another matchup edge Wisconsin has in this game is that
Penn State gives up a lot of three point shots.
They have a terrible three point defense, and Wisconsin loves
to take threes. In fact, over half their shots, over
fifty percent of their shots as you have, come from
beyond the arc. So yes, they play fast, but they
still take the three point shots as well. I like
Wisconsin minus the five and a half might also want
to look at their team total over eighty three in
this game is I think Wisconsin. If those threes are falling,
we'll have a nice win tonight. That's at seventies term
on Fox Sports one.

sm Joe and aary.
Speaker 1: I know we're cutting that video and putting it up
as a special standalone because you know he's a god.
But I think that was a little bit too professional
of the show, Joe.
Speaker 2: I mean the money there. I think, yeah, that was.
Speaker 4: A compromise. If you want me, that's out. It rolls.
It's a compromise.
Speaker 2: Well, that's all prayers. We'll take care of that.
Speaker 1: Whatever could go up my ass. Let's get at and
I can get there.
Speaker 2: You go.
Speaker 1: Could you throw that down the middle of Steve standalone video.
Speaker 6: As he's talking, Well, we'll see how much longer I
keep doing Thursday shows. If you mess with on videos,
mess on videos.
Speaker 1: The best part of your video, the best part of
your of your CBB rundown Steve, without question is it'll
get twice more views than the show will get. And
Joe play under it the entire time.
Speaker 5: I'm good at playing for that. Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: With that one.
Speaker 2: Before we do get get you here. We had r
tell us earlier in the show that not a whole
lot of movement.
Speaker 5: In fact, the only movement we have in both these
NFL games seems to be on the total in both games,
especially to Denver and New England, but outside of that,
it's been kind of stagnant. What were your initial thoughts
on both those lines here and are we seeing it
going the other way? Are we gonna get New England money,
Denver money, Seattle money, Ram money.
Speaker 2: What are you thinking?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So far?
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm gonna have my videos up tomorrow night
on for the weekend of all the publicans census data.
But what I saw earlier this week is that the
favorites are getting a little bit of love. Nothing crazy, though,
and I haven't doug too much into the totals. I
usually wait a little later in the week. First jump
out to me about the lines is that Denver was
going to be a slight favorite last week. The betable
line at Denver is a slight favorite over New England
with that possible matchup, and while the Bills probably outplayed them,
five turnovers cost the Bills am A Man McDermott his job.
I still think Denver probably would have been favored with
bow Knicks under center, which means now is a four
and a half. Actually it was a five and a
half point line means it was a full touchdown adjustment
for Stidham versus Nicks, and I don't think bon Nix
is anything special. And if you look at Stindham's career numbers,
they're almost identical QB rating. He actually has a better
yards for pass. There's not a seven point difference between
bon Nooks and probably many quarterbacks in the league, to
be honest, So that looks like a little bit over adjustment.
With that said, though, I've been looking to fade the Broncos.
I think they're a phony one seed, you know. So
the odds makers once again have done an interesting job here,
but I would say there's been a little bit of
buyback on Denver. That line was as high as five
five and a half earlier in the week. We'll see
what the public does with that this weekend.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 1: Awesome, Steve Barrell, everybody. That was an incredible segment.
Speaker 2: Joe.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the mailbox segment, Steve. You'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I really not the box. It's a big.
Speaker 1: Box, yes, mail box man. Okay, Oh, it's all the
same damn thing, Steve. If you want to hang out.
Speaker 6: Or you want to go, yeah, I just I love
the fact that you're getting so many letters you no
longer need the mailbox.
Speaker 4: You need the mail bag. That's a good problem. A
half press. That means you're getting the views.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, So he's hagging out. So guys,
let me read you a couple So basically, Steve, we
just kind of read and talk. So, uh, we had
three people purchased my play yesterday, da Bean writes, Uh, Press,
I joined you yesterday in your five percent play. If
it loses, I'm going to cry. Not really, I'm betting responsibly.
Well it lost, I didn't cry. I actually took it fairly. Well,
I do apologize to all you guys. Look, we're going
to lose place. I mean, there's just there's no way
around it. This is what we do for a living.
We're going to lose place. Steve, I had not lost
a five percent NHL money line play in two years.
You can imagine how many sales I made yesterday and
I lost in overtime.
Speaker 4: Just said three people bought it.
Speaker 1: Three people on this three people.
Speaker 4: Three people bought it, Joe. The bad news is it lost.
Speaker 6: But the good news is only three people, Buddy, and
one of them was playing responsibly. So at worst you
only heard two thirty years. My thirtieth anniversary coming up
this summer, guys Earls or Diamond's traditional modern gifts, your choice.
But I have never in my life apologized to anybody
in thirty years for losing a play. Press the power
to you, man, I do I've heard you do about
