Speaker 1: Welcome to wager Talk Today, the gold standard of sports
betting shows, where we talk the.
Speaker 2: Talk, walk the walk.
Speaker 1: It's home Day Wednesday, Loaded Night, College Basketball, NBA, Dan

Speaker 2: We've got a bunch of lacrosse to go over tonight.
Speaker 1: We've got Premier League of Darts tomorrow, we got a
golf tournament that starts.
Speaker 2: We have two four percent rugby plays that are up.
Speaker 1: Who says it's only basketball today, Come on in here, buddy.
Speaker 3: I'm pumped up man.
Speaker 4: Honestly, moving out through the football season, I'm I'm happy
we don't have the Super Bowl to talk about for
the fortieth day in the row. I'm not gonna lie
to you. So yeah, we have a great show coming.
Three of the best hoops handicappers that wager Talk has
to offer. Drew Martin's gonna talk a little college basketball
for you Florida, Georgia, Virginia Tech, Clemson.
Speaker 3: Free plays in both of those coming your way. And
we got Ross Benjamin.
Speaker 4: He's gonna give you a little two pack on the
hardwood for college basketball and NBA. He's talking thunder Suns
at NBA and New Mexico Grand Canyon. Your late night
Bailout Special, as our friend Drew Martin would say, coming
your way from Ross Benjamin free plays in both of
those and then Ski the NBA King coming on at
Nick seventy six Ers wearing the seventy six ers hat
for him.
Speaker 3: Here and Spurs Warriors, and.
Speaker 4: I'll also let you know what he has coming up
on Profit Picks, which follows us here on the channel.
Speaker 3: Andy, as you mentioned, we got a WTF or LFG
to kick off the show.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look to bounce back from you were smoking
hot last week giving out free plays here at the
top of the show.
Speaker 3: I'm owing to this week giving have a curling.
Speaker 4: Play to start the week here, Andy, and Andy's gonna
take you all around the world, has props and free
picks for you across a couple of different leagues.
Speaker 3: Andy, So nothing to it but to do it. Let's
get into it, brother, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, I'm gonna do a little psa here real quick,
and then I want to get to WTFLFG. Okay, I
had an issue where a play was misgraded on one
of my sportsbooks. Okay, I won't name the sports book.
It just rhymes with craft things. Okay, not ran fool, yeah,
not fret MGM, but craft things it rhymes with craft
things and they were wrong. I have their rules. I
know how this works. I know the rules, and they
were wrong. It took me fourteen emails and three different
customer service reps, but I did get it changed. Your
assignment when this happens, you have to be well equipped
with the knowledge of the books.
Speaker 2: You have to have websites, you have to have links.
It's a pain.
Speaker 1: Do not stop until they have fixed your misgrading. They
will tell you no, they will tell you they are
or that you are wrong, and you keep at it
until you get it changed. You should have a local
rep in your area. If you don't have their contact information,
ask them for it. They can help you as well.
But it took fourteen emails, three to different customer service reps.
It finally got fixed. So you just can't stop. You
have to know the rules. But do not give up.
It is hard enough to make money.
Speaker 2: In this business.
Speaker 1: And I when I was going through the process, I
was wondering how much money did they make every year
by people just giving up.
Speaker 3: Or not check or not checking you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You fire in a bunch of bets yeah, you don't
roll through and see what your actual bet slip says.
So persistence. My name is Lang, and that's a great
tip for you folks. Make sure you know you check
your slips and make sure that they're not misgrading and
screwing you out of profits. There man, wait, way to go, Andy, Andy,
you're standing up, You're you're putting on your bill Krackenberger shoes,
standing up for the every day.
Speaker 1: It's important because my play was graded win. But they
applied these dead heat rules in a situation where it
didn't it didn't apply, and so it was a win.
They they graded a win, but the payout was wrong.
So you fight, you fight, you fight, and you know
you don't give up on it. So all right, that's
my uh my public service announcement. So for those that say,
does Andy Bett, Yes, Andy BET's his own place.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's do WTFLFG. Let's get back on the winning ways.
Speaker 1: A little bit of regression in the last couple of days.
This is not my panic face here, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, let's be real.
Speaker 4: We were twenty one and thirteen, so Andy, sometimes when
we go on these five game winning streaks, sometimes regression
will come. Yes, Steve no longer any Ben Rothwell talk
here or Johns Hopkins Lacrosse. Well, luckily you don't have
to talk Johns Hopkins Lacrosse for your WTFLFG play. You know,
usually I'm getting you the afternoon games, Andy, and I
actually have a play loaded for clients for the three
pm game that's going today. So I got a free
pick for you here in holy Cross taking on Mary Mack. Yes,
the premiere match up here. This will be on ESPN Plus.
However it goes at six. Andy, this just feels like
to me, Yes, I know Mary Mack, for lack of
a better term, Andy's slightly ass, but this feels like
just way too crazy of an overreaction four and a
half point home underdog. You're seeing Mary Mack against a
team that has beaten this holy Cross side three straight meetings.
So for whatever reason, Mary Mack has the special sauce
when they're stepping up against holy Cross. And what holy
Cross deserves to be a four and a half point
road favorite because they beat Hofstra in double overtime last week.
Speaker 3: I'm not seeing it. Whether shouldn't be a factor. I
think this more likely.
Speaker 4: You know, I could see Mary Mack winning this game outright,
but more likely you're looking at a two goal one
goal win in a you know, kind of kind of tight,
grind out game between holy Cross and Mary Mack. So
we're getting four and a half goals here, Andy, I
think it's a no brainer. Go with the home side.
That's your free pick. And I said, WTF, as in
wrong team favored? Does that mean this is a WTF
for you?
Speaker 3: Andy?
Speaker 4: I mean we didn't put it in his client play.
You haven't out here, buddy, what do you do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's already moved to four on DraftKings.
Speaker 2: It's four and a half still at rand full ran
du Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I would say the markets are telling you that, yeah,
it's moving, and it does not take that much to
move the cross lines. But somebody agrees with you on
craft things. So I would say, yeah, this is an LFG.
Markets are moving in your favor. Take the better number.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you, brother, I.
Speaker 4: Love it all right, Enough about the stick and ball,
let's just talk to the ball on the hardwood and
let's get things kicked off here with Drew Martin.
Speaker 3: How about that? What up, Drew?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 3: What is good?
Speaker 6: My man?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Excited to talk some college basketball. Always good to be
on with you as well. Andy, And I'll second one
thing that you said about dealing with the sports books
and getting your money back and being correct in the process.
I almost personally compare it to dealing with airlines. These
are the two that I've had to do this with.
And one extra thing I'll say is, yes, do everything
Andy said, but also social media. Use it in your advantage.
Even if you don't have a lot of followers. Get
a buddy to say, hey, reply to what I put
to this airline, to this sports book, and put your
case out there on social media so other people can
see it and they respond to that very very urgently.
That's one thing I would add to what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Andy, You're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1: Craft things has their own social media support channel that
you tag them in it. They will respond to you
and it'll get the ball rolling.
Speaker 2: So but again, just you know, uh.
Speaker 1: Just just just just be diligent with it. So all right, Drew,
I gave out one of your free plays yesterday.
Speaker 2: It was on a Milwaukee, Wisconsin great call.
Speaker 1: It won, So you're on a red hot one and
oh streak on free plays this week on Wag Your
Dog Today. So let's do college basketball, and we're going
to start with the biggest party. What's what's I'm not
from the South, I can't remember what.
Speaker 2: This is called? The Florida Georgia game. What's it called?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's one of the best rivalry names going. I'll
tell you Andy.
Speaker 7: It is the world's largest outdoor cocktail party versus Georgia.
And usually it happens in Jacksonville talking about the football game,
but hey, we're talking about at hardwood style here, and
this is a game where it's kind of an interesting
aspect because Mike White, the head coach for Georgia, he's
facing his own old team in the Florida Gators, the
team that fired him, So you know he's gonna have
a little extra juice here. But George is a team
that runs a high tempo offense, number eight in the
country in terms of number of possessions. The only problem
is they haven't been going as fast lately an SEC
conference play, and that's something I've had some success is
change in pace that each team is playing. George is
playing a little bit slower. They've actually hit the under
in two straight and they're going up against the Florida Gators.
This is a team that I've actually seen in person.
They're a very tall, very big team, a lot of
length out there. They play really good defense. Yes, they're
good on the offensive end efficiency wise, but they're also
the number one defensive efficiency team in the SEC. One
of the best rebounding teams in the country. They have
three guys on their starting five that are six nine
or taller, and they get back on defense. Therefore, to
put this total up in the mid one sixties. It
actually was one sixty six last night. Now we're seeing
one sixty four. I agree with this push towards the under,
some of it being my money. I don't think we
get there, Andy, I don't think we get into the
one sixties. Actually, it's gonna be you know, there's gonna
be scoring. Obviously the oddsmakers are telling us that. But
this total is pinned a little bit too high in
by my projections. And I talked about Georgia under and
two straight. How about the Florida Gators under in five
straight games? What have you done for me lately? These
two teams have been hitting unders. We're gonna go Florida
Georgia under the total of one sixty four.
Speaker 1: And a half right now, all right, under one sixty
four and a half on the world's largest outdoor Coctabay.
Speaker 2: Do they do it in basketball as well?
Speaker 3: I don't believe. So that's more it can happen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably start joking about it, but they tell you
the truth. Both presidents, the president of the University of
Florida the president of the University of Georgia have like
publicly stated, please stop calling it that, and just nobody
pays attention to it.
Speaker 2: Why college kids drinking? It's the first time ever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it kind of puts like a little bit
of a party school atmosphere on those two universities very quietly,
whether it's football or basketball success, the University of Florida
and the University of Georgia have like crept up there
in the university like academic ranking. So I think they're
trying to take that a little bit seriously, more seriously.
Speaker 1: Crept up in the academic Okay, all right, okay, all right,
I'm just getting droke. Yeah, I guess it is a
Wednesday during middle of the week with classes, so I
guess it's pretty hard to start an early morning cocktail
party out there. So let's go to Virginia Tech and Clemson.
I believe this is on the free picks page over
at wager Talk. We got Clemson minus eight and a
half over under one thirty five and a half.
Speaker 2: How do you break this one down?
Speaker 7: I like the Clemson Tigers here Andy twenty and four
on the season, eleven and one at home here in Clemson,
South Carolina. And another what have you done for me lately?
Nine and two against the number their last eleven so
cash in nine of their last eleven games, A slow
paced team, top fifteen team in defensive efficiency, number one
defensive efficiency team in the ACC. And there's kind of
a match up handicap that I like in this and
that is, first off, the Virginia Tech Hokies. They're just
five and six in ACC play. But the matchup handicap
I like is Virginia Tech their point guard Ben Hammond.
He's a decent player, kind of plays a little bit
up and down. But I've noticed when he plays against
the better defensive teams, which obviously being the number one
defensive team in the ACC and Clemson, I would put
Clemson in that category. That on ball defense he really
struggles against. He just played against NC State, a very
talented team. He actually didn't score one basket. So when
your point guard struggles against certain situations, I love fading that,
and sure enough you put a twenty win team in
Clemson up against them. Already talked about how they've been
cashing tickets recently. The last time these two teams played,
it was sixty five to forty seven. Virginia Tech didn't
even get to the fifty point mark. All of this
pointing towards Clemson. I do like the under if you
kind of want to double it up, but personally, I'm
on the.
Speaker 3: Clemson Tigers minus eight in the hook. I wouldn't be
surprised if they win by double digits.
Speaker 4: Lay the price, says our man Drew Martin Rock in
the Auburn Lid. Drew, We've been talking all week long
about this Valentine's Day special. We're sharing the love with
folks here where folks can get six days of action
for just paying three days.
Speaker 3: And it's a great time to buy.
Speaker 4: You know, we're heading here into the weekend obviously, plenty
of college basketball action for you.
Speaker 3: What do you got locked and loaded over at the
page and how's it been running?
Speaker 6: Brought it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, hammering out college basketball right now, Dan, I kind of,
you know, go with your sentiment of when the Super
bowls over, it's not a terrible time at all. I've
put all of my emphasis into college basketball, and then
when baseball comes around, I'm into that. So yeah, it's
CBB right now. It's been running well. Long term, We've
talked about it. I'm actually at one hundred and seventy
client pick mark. I'm one hundred and seventy. That's one
hundred wins and seventy losses. So long term there fifty
nine percent up over one hundred units. If you're interested
in the long term packages, that's probably the way to go.
Also on the three percent plus, I believe it's a
twenty four and eight run, so it's been a nice
run with that. Have a three for one package up
for tonight, the hump Day special three for one. You
get a discounting package there all three client plays.
Speaker 3: Can check that out. Drew martinwidrtalk dot com. Love it, Drew,
Appreciate you buddy, Always a pleasure and we will see
you next week.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: Best of luck tonight, Drew.
Speaker 7: Absolutely boys, enjoy it. Thanks for having me on cash
those tickets.
Speaker 4: If there is not the world's largest outdoor cocktail party happening,
Drew Martin will start it. Don't don't, don't worry, folks,
he will. He will take up the mantle just for you.
All right, Andy, You know I mentioned that Valentine's Day
special Ross is coming up here next.
Speaker 3: You mentioned we got a lacrosse playloaded.
Speaker 4: That one's is going this this afternoon, so you can
go over and check that out. What else are we rocking?
Because I believe golf starts tomorrow our event correct.
Speaker 1: Well, actually today is a huge day because Live Golf
starts tonight and they're they're in South Africa.
Speaker 2: So this Wednesday pack.
Speaker 1: Started off with one play and now it's ballooned into
a four percent I'm looking at four golf play, four percent,
NBA play, one percent NBA play, four percent lacrosse play,
and we threw in the darts play for tomorrow in there.
So one pack in Wednesday we got, we got you rocking.
We got two four percent rugby plays that start on Friday.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this live we're we're three to oh on our
four percent golf plays and we got a four percent
best bet and live golf, so very very beatable league.
So the rule changes that they made this year benefit
our betting style on the way we do. So I'm
excited about today. So we had a down day yesterday.
I lost the five dollars play. Apologize, guys just didn't
pan out. We had a bench player, Brandon Williams coming
off the bench for Dallas. I thought he would be
just fine scoring points against Phoenix, and then another bench
player scored thirty one points. I had the wrong bench
player for Dallas. Najie Marshall could not miss. So it happens.
But we're gonna bounce back today. Feeling good about it.
Let's bring in raw, Come on in here.
Speaker 3: What's us here?
Speaker 8: Baby's Valentine's Day Special?
Speaker 6: I know hit.
Speaker 8: One of the women in the office had to make that,
because jeez, what an optimum way if you have a
wife the bets on sports or a girlfriend who bets
on sports and say, honey, I like that. Guess what
I got for you? Not roses, but a three day you.
It's six day Valentine's Day Special from Ross Benjamin. I'll
be the most popular guy in the female COMMUNITYSS.
Speaker 4: Is onto something there because your flowers are gonna die,
They're gonna will you know, they get the song Devin is.
Speaker 3: Riding with the boss.
Speaker 8: Come on, man, absolutely, man, you know you know, I
don't want to get into more detail because I'll get myself.
Speaker 6: I got more. But that's for off air rhyther than not.
Speaker 8: So you guys, are I already heard that conversation before
the show started.
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: Good stuff? Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 6: We're not gonna get into that either.
Speaker 3: But well, boy, man, let's just say, let's just he's
a great.
Speaker 6: He's turn it into my idol after that story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's Ski for you, baby, That's that's that's
what we know. So maybe we'll circle back and hear
story time from Ski profit to end the show here.
You'll you'll have to tune in and stay tuned to
find out. But Ross, let's talk to some of these
NBA games that you got rock in this Thundersuns game
New Mexico Grand Canyons.
Speaker 3: It's up to you.
Speaker 4: You want to talk college basketball or you want to
talk NBA. What do you want to kick it off with?
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's start with the college basketball in New Mexico.
At Grand Canyon ten o'clock tonight FS one. Right, the
last I looked Grand Canyons a one and a half
point home favorite. Uh, this is a New Mexico team
that got off to a great start to the season
and was getting up there in terms of ranked teams,
especially when you.
Speaker 6: Look at Ken Pomp They're highly rated there.
Speaker 8: And all my rankings I give out when it comes
to college basketball with my analysis on either video or
in written form on my games I give out to
my clients are all rankings at Kempound Because boys, I
think that that's the most accurate ratings you could find anywhere.
It certainly beats the traditional AP Coaches poll, which is
just human element. We're getting into all kinds of analytics
all combined into one. So, having said all that, New
Mexico coming off back to back home losses against Boise
State and Utah State, and now they have to travel
of Phoenix, Arizona to take on the Grand Canyon Anaalopes.
And if you haven't watched a Grand Canyon home game,
you're missing something, because I think it's the most under
the radar home court advantage anywhere in college basketball. As
a matter of fact, Kenpound has them as the number
thirty two ranked home court advantage in all of college basketball.
They draw about over seven thousand fans a game, and
if you haven't caught a game there, it's a raukus atmosphere.
Try to catch it tonight and you'll see exactly what
I'm saying. Having said that, Grant Cannon has won their
last five conference home games, including wins over number twenty
five Utah State, number forty three San Diego State, number
fifty three Boise State, So they haven't exactly been knocking
off cream puffs and they're playing with same season revenge
as earlier this year they went to the pit in
Albuquerque and got their drawers burned, blown off, as they
lost that game eighty seven sixty four. Despite that result,
they're a favorite tonight, which speaks volumes to me from
the oddsmakers standpoint, and the analytes are also coming up
an eighty to seventy eight road loss at UNLV. Why
is well, they have a loss back to back road
game or back to back games, excuse me all year
as a matter of factor seven and zero this year
when coming off a loss, and that includes three and
zero in Mountain West Conference play. In those three Mountain
West Conference games when they came off a loss a
plus fourteen point seven point per game differential. This game's
virtually an even game. As a matter of fact, I'm
going to opt for the money line here and take
Grand Canyon minus one twenty against New Mexico. I would
go as high as minus one thirty on this game, folks,
and I don't have any trouble laying the points spread
if if you're uncomfortable with the money line, but optimally
I would like to see you use the money line,
because nothing worse than winning a game by a point
and not covering. So Grand Canyon minus one twenty over
New Mexico.
Speaker 2: Love it, Love it.
Speaker 1: You got some agreement in the chain, some excitement in
the chat from Colin who said he was hoping he
was going to be on the same side as you.
Speaker 2: Looks like yes, on the same side. So we move
on to the NBA. The Thunder and the Suns. The
Suns they just keep shining. Thank you, You're welcome, everybody.
Speaker 1: I know that they and the Thunder keep rolling. I'm
on fire today. I did not write that, but we
got the Thunder minus seven and a half over under
two seventeen and a half back to back situation for Phoenix,
though they are coming off of a win. There, I
continue to say the Suns, they just continue to surprise.
What are the pleasant surprises of the season? Can they
keep up here with?
Speaker 2: Ok?
Speaker 1: See you get the cover who's obviously without SGA. How
do you break this one down?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna opt for the total in this game.
And again, folks, these are sign picks, so it's not
like this is my best player tonight. So bet conservatively.
I told you at last week. It's not a sign
of lack of confidence. That's just what we do as
professional handicappers. We gread our plays and this one would
be a one unit value for me. You mentioned SGA
being out, that's removing thirty one point eight points per
game out of the lineup. Yes, other players need to
step up, but they did put up some points in
their last game, which was a win. However, it's a
whole different situation now when teams like Phoenix, who's very
good defensively, have time to prepare for you without SGA
in a lineup. The previous meeting these teams played was
on January fourth at Phoenix and the Suns won that
game one eight, one five, easily staying under the total
of two twenty nine and a half. And the Suns
are coming off, like you said, last night's win home
win against Dallas one twenty to one eleven. However, you know,
back to back games, even if it's a home and
home at this time of year in February, they take
a little bit of toll on the players, and usually
the first thing that shows up is weary legs, and
when weary legs happen, poor shooting occurs. And also keep
in mind the Sons have only played three home games
this year in which the total was between two ten
and two nineteen and a half.
Speaker 6: All three of.
Speaker 8: Those contests went under the total. With the combined two
hundred and five point three points scored per game. The
Sons have scored one on one hundred and six or
less points in six of their last ten and he
says they continue to shine and continue to win, but
they're not. They've shown where they could win low scoring
games as well, evidenced by that one oh six or
less than six of their last ten. Oklahoma City, by
the way, we know how good they are defensively and
the offense will be They're right up there too at
the top, but without SD eight that's going to hurt
them tonight. And ok See has allowed one hundred and
eight points fewer and five of their last six games.
Speaker 6: I'm going to go under here, Andy.
Speaker 8: Very conservative play on Oklahoma City and the Phoenix Suns
to go under to seventeen.
Speaker 6: And a half.
Speaker 2: Ross Benjamin, I wanted to ask you real quick.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not hockey season, but you're did this
Olympic break come in a good time for your Boston
Sabers They lost three out of going into the break
now no effect.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's two schools.
Speaker 8: The thought, you know, when you're going good like they
had been up until the last three games before to break,
you want to continue because you got a lot of momentum.
But now that course has changed a little bit. O
two and one in their last three sort of got
away from the way the style of play that it's
made them so successful. So I think the time away
And they only have two players that are in the Olympics,
Rasmus Dallen, who will be the playing for Sweden and
probably playing a prominent role for them, and Teach Thompson
on the American team, and as much as Tage Thompson
is the top scorer for the Buffalo Sabers, I don't know.
I would not be shocked to see him be sat down,
you know, as an extra in a couple of these games.
So it's not like there's a lot of wear and tear,
So players are going to have a lot of rest.
Speaker 6: But it's hard to predict.
Speaker 8: And you know, we're talking about a franchise that hasn't
made the playoffs in fourteen years and they're off to
a great first three quarters of the season. Twenty five
games left to play.
Speaker 6: Man oh man.
Speaker 8: I hope for all, not only my sake, but fellow
Buffalo Saber fans who have been Dieharts over the years,
like myself, that they could finally crack the playoff throughout
and get in and give some enthusiasm to the fan base,
which is much deserved.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it's exciting to watch.
Speaker 1: I always like when to see these teams not come
out of nowhere but just overachieve and in hockey, just
make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I.
Speaker 8: Don't know if they're overachieving more than they've underachieved in
recent years, because if you look at that lineup their
top four defenseman, you'd be hard pressed to find a
better top two pair defensively in the NHL. And they
lack a little bit of depth scoring when you get
into their fourth line or so. But I think they're
starting to play their potential more than they're overachieving.
Speaker 2: Nice. Nice, What do you have up for everyone on
this Wednesday? Ross?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean again, I'll have Look here's the thing, folks.
If you're looking for me to post picks the night
before and it's it's not especially during the week, not
a weekend, weekends, I will post the night before on occasion.
I'm not your guy, okay, And I'm a counterpuncher. I'm
not somebody who tries to think they're smart the odds
maker and.
Speaker 6: Anticipate bait to move.
Speaker 8: I just found my success has come as a counterpuncher,
So I give out my picks sort of early afternoon
type of thing, just to warn you ahead of time.
But you know why you should consider dealing with me
is a fact. I'm up over one hundred and eighty
units since May to thirteen, twenty twenty five. As a
matter of fact, just short and nine months and like
I asked Dan last week, when to last that long
you make that much money, is it really a fluke?
Speaker 6: It's not so.
Speaker 8: The best thing to do is take advantage of this
offer we gotten out for fourteen ninety nine. It's five
hundred dollars off three hundred and sixty five day all
access passed. You get all sports, all premium picks, including
five percent best bets for fourteen ninety nine. When you
do the math, that's awful cheap, especially for a handicapper
my caliber. I just gave you the numbers. And also, folks,
you'll get a twenty five percent bonus coupon that will
be good for three hundred and sixty five days, where
not only will you get my picks, but if you
decide to buy from anybody else no matter what, unlimited usage,
twenty five percent off through that three hundred and sixty
five day period.
Speaker 6: And also the ten day package.
Speaker 8: We got going on right now for ninety nine dollars
and the Valentine's State package. What better way to give
your wife a gift and to buy her a six

Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm a love It's it's what I am.
Speaker 1: You're one that's like every day is Valentine's Day in
my house, it's I mean, flowers every single you know.
Speaker 3: I'm a great cook. It's hard.
Speaker 4: It's hard to have a wife that doesn't love you
when you're a great cook.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's a good point. It's a good point.
Speaker 1: Uh, great story from Ski profit before we were recording.
Unfortunately it's not suitable for YouTube. Let's just say Ski
may or may not celebrate Valentine's Days are.
Speaker 3: So damn good. Those shouldn't be suitable. How about that?
How about that.
Speaker 9: Started on another Valentine's Day story?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, but it was.
Speaker 3: It was great.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 9: It was a great story. But anyway, good to be
back with you guys. I appreciate you'all having me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a couple of games to go over.
I'm kicking myself Ski with your team the Lakers. Yesterday,
I was like, are they gonna sit Lebron and Reeves?
And and the opening line was like, no, they're not
going to And I was like, exactly, he could get
the Spurs at such a great price.
Speaker 2: If they sit Lebron and Reeves, it's gonna be cakewalk.
Speaker 1: And I missed out on it. But we're gonna have
you break down a doubleheader here. You got the Knicks
and the seventy six ers, you got the Spurs in
the World Warriors. And I was completely wrong. I thought
the Knicks would blow through. My pacers come in refreshed tonight.
Now they're on a back to back. Their starters played
a bunch of minutes, they lost. This is not a
great spot for the Knicks, although I did have to laugh.
The one starter Ski that did not play a lot
of minutes, was of course Karl Anthony Towns. Why because
he fouled out, which is just it's just hilarious.
Speaker 9: Of course, yeah, you know Towns.
Speaker 5: He they talked about to him about that too, and
he said that he was going to do better, and
he continues to do the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 2: So just it's the pacers.
Speaker 4: Ski.
Speaker 1: How you can't foul out against the Pacers back up,
it's inexcusable.
Speaker 2: So all right, what are we doing with this?
Speaker 9: A lot of minutes.
Speaker 5: You can probably expect him to play today, but I
don't know that we can say that about everybody. And
it's still not for sure that he will play today.
Like you mentioned, the Knicks're coming off a game yesterday.
It was an overtime game. They have to travel and
you know, everybody knows they have a little mini vacation
coming up after this game. I could see, you know,
Jalen Bronson potentially sitting and you know some other guys,
and if they do, that's a lot of points missing
in this game. On the other side, I mean Annobi
and Mitch Robinson sat yesterday. I expect them to play,
and those are two more defensive guys. So I'm looking
at this. I think this is a lower scoring game.
You look at the pace the last five games, the
rank twenty fourth and twenty fifth, like under the two
twenty two and a half, And if I have to
pick a side, you know, based on everything I've said,
it's absolutely an advantageous spot for the Sixers. You know,
home favors with the rest advantage I believe went around
seventy three percent of the time, and you know minus
two and a half, you're only gonna have to pay
what minus thirty five math Wise, it makes sense, so
I would only be picking the Sixers from side perspective.
Speaker 2: I am on the under in this game, okay.
Speaker 1: And then we moved to the Spurs and the Warriors.
Spurs the exact opposite. Their starters didn't even have to
play thirty minutes in that game. So the Warriors thinking
they're going to get a tired Spurs team and they're
just not. I mean, this is a full, full go
ahead for San Antonio, like you said in the mini break,
coming up minus seven and a half over under two
twenty a half, We're going right back to the Spurs.
Speaker 2: Or can the Warriors keep this close?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: You know what, I want to look at the total
in this one once again. For one, I like the
way the Spurs have been playing lately. I mean three
just explosive offensive performance, one thirty plus. You look at
the assists category, thirty plus assists each game. That's a
sign of a team you know, that's in a really,
really good rhythm right now. So I expect that to
continue for this last game. What I don't expect to
continue is, you know, the big defensive effort. Like I said,
a lot of teams know you know, they have a
little bit of a vacation coming up after this game.
The Spurs are probably looking at the Warriors without Steph Kergan,
you know, know that they can win this game. I
don't think you get their best defensive effort. So combining
those things, I think the Warriors can score. And you know,
when I look at the injury report, I don't love
seeing Milton and Richard questionable, but I do think they
both play and I think they both can add a
lot to the offensive end. So I just think this
is a situation where both teams score. I'll go over
on this game.
Speaker 1: And there's before we let you go, there's been a
lot we're making about tanking season and everything. I was
kind of thinking today be funny to make the tanking
like the power rankings. The teams that are doing at
the best. My Pacers they're not doing it the best.
The Jazz, they're not doing it the best. I have
the Kings as a.
Speaker 2: Pretty clear leaders as.
Speaker 5: Do you see the lineup I'll know list that I
used to have, Andy, That's exactly what this sounds like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have the Kings and the Nets and the
Wizards as the top three in terms of the tanking
power rankings.
Speaker 2: Did you happen to see who the Kings are playing tonight? Oh?
There you go.
Speaker 5: You know, I didn't get to that game yet, but
maybe I did, And I just getted over it because
I think it's too degenerate.
Speaker 9: But what do you think, Yeah, there'd be no defense.
Speaker 1: I mean Carter, Clifford, Derozanchua and Reynold is your starting lineup.
They are literally sitting everybody. So the Jazz seemed like
they're winning game. The Jazz have too good of a bench.
Speaker 6: That's the problem.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5: I just thow eyeball first off, because I didn't even
really go through the props so far today. But A's
Bailey plays good at home. King's defense is trash. I'd
be interested in his points prop tonight. I like that
one I am on Renaud over his rebounds?
Speaker 2: Was that yeah? Yeah, yeah, he had nineteen rebounds the.
Speaker 1: Other night, nineteen rebounds because nobody else on the team
was there.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What are the What are the Kings averaging in attendance?
Probably not great? The good news. I think tickets are
probably pretty inexpensive.
Speaker 5: My sister's been begging me to go to the Kings game,
and I don't even like at all the games. Well,
I don't want to go to the Kings game, but
it makes me think about that one fan who's like
the season holder, and you know, remember how they were
treating him or the players. De Rozen was talking to
him like, it's the one guy who's willing to pay
for season taking me to be there all the time.
Speaker 9: They just maybe treat him a little better.
Speaker 1: Great seats available, I'm sure, I'm sure the great seats
are available at.
Speaker 2: The King's Games.
Speaker 1: So, uh, Ski, what do you have up for everybody
these days? And tell oh, tell her about your Rob
Vino show as well.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, Me and Vino will be live in
about an hour. We'll go through pretty much the entire
NBA slate. We'll break it down. I'll feel like myself
for Vino. That's the place to, you know, go through
the entire NBA slate and will help you out. We'll
share a couple of picks and obviously some of them
we can't share, but it's a good place to gather
all your NBA info for betting for the day. As
far as what I've been doing lately, last thirty days
have been pretty good.
Speaker 9: I'm off of a.
Speaker 5: Really bad day, so I got reverse swept yesterday and
after that, last thirty days in basketball since I'm up
forty two point eight units fifty seven point seven percent
on about one hundred and sixty five plays. So I've
been running pretty good in basketball, which I'm I like
to think I'm pretty good at bouncing back too. So
after a day like that, I think today is a
good day to join. And like 'ro all said, I'm
a kind of guy who likes to wait a little
bit and add throughout the day. So you don't even
see a package on my page right now. I've already
made two plays and I'm just waiting on some more
injury stuff to make a couple more so, all access
passes out of the way to go, way to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get those specials. You can get SKI get
the six days for the price of three. Ski, thank
you so much for joining us. Till Rob we said, hi,
and you can get all skis please w t up
buzz slash HP. Thank you, Ski, appreciate you have a
good one, all right, Ski profit They're always bringing the heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he and he and Rob do a great show.
Speaker 4: No, definitely, I mean people people love it that live
chat and uh and he's slowly brought back the that's
My Dog segment, which was one of our favorites from
our NBA show so so yeah, definitely check that out
one ish. We call that schedule for one thirty. Whenever
they go live for your subscribes, take a little notification.
It's yeah, you know, it's it's it's appointment viewing right there.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 1: Let's do all around the world and then we got
some time to kill. Sir Rex asked for some golf breakdowns.
Let's do all around the world and then I'll go
over a little bit of golf. We're going to be
recording the Golf Show right after this, so I'll be
up this afternoon a lot more in depth here.
Speaker 2: So we got we.
Speaker 1: Got some weird ones here today. Hornets, yep, yep, we have.
We have a couple of nicknames this season for the
Premiere League, and Ozepic is one of them.
Speaker 2: We'll start with Hornets and Hawks.
Speaker 1: Ryan Kalchbrenner over seven and a half rebounds, Bridges and
Diabate are most surely going to be suspended for the
brawl the other night. They had a day off, and
the NBA normally doesn't let you play in the next
game after something like that, so fully expect the suspensions
to come in.
Speaker 2: He's getting the start.
Speaker 1: The last couple of games without Diabada, He's played twenty
four minutes. He's had twelve and eleven rebound chances. Bridges
and Diabada are their number one and number two rebounders,
and the Hawks have three guys that are questionable tonight.
The Hawks are also not good against allowing rebounds. So
I like this backup center that's going to start and
get big time minutes to go over his rebounds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ozepic van Gerwin.
Speaker 1: So Dan Michael van Gerwin is his name, and he
just randomly showed up and boy's thin.
Speaker 2: He's also playing really really.
Speaker 1: Well, so this is tomorrow. We'll take a sprinkle on
him on the money line over Josh Rock. Josh Rock
is this like up and comer and he's getting a
ton of publicity over in Europe and England. If you
ask some of the hardcore darts fans, they kind of
don't get it. And last week in Week one, Josh
Rock lost in the very first round, Van Gerwin won
the entire thing. So we're taking Ozempic van Gerwin. Yeah,
we're taking Ozepic van Gerwin tomorrow first round. And we
do have a client best bet that is up in
that pack that goes off today, so you want to
get our official best bet, grab that one. And then
this is from the sweet free picks page. I just
chuckled at this one. Olympic copy Olympic Hockey Andrew Ginnis
has Sweden minus four and a half versus Italy. Wow,
here's here's the basic breakdown. Sweden has plenty of NHL players,
Italy doesn't. It's a pretty good point. Really, I can't
really think off the top of my head.
Speaker 3: It's foolproof.
Speaker 1: Who are the like? Like, who are the NHL players
you're terrified of these days.
Speaker 3: Carmine Bianco. It's really your only.
Speaker 2: Option, I I think so. Anyway, I thought this was
a great breakdown.
Speaker 1: He like goes he lists like the Swedish NHL players,
I have a good lineup, and then Italy was like,
hm hmm interesting. So anyway, he thinks that sets up
for a blowout. So there's your all around the world
a free picks page. The golf tournament is the AT
and T Pebble Beach. If you've not watched a tournament
at Pebble Beach, it is arguably top three most photogenetic courses.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1: A couple of Oh, there's a head to head match
up Michael thor Bjornson over Ludvik Obert. I smell a
rat with this one. Obert. He withdrew with an illness
a couple of tournaments ago, then he missed the cut
right after that. He did the same shit last year
with drew with an illness and then was awful for
a couple months.
Speaker 2: So I'm not buying Ludvic Obert.
Speaker 1: I think Thorpe Burnson is a good one there as
far as you want some top twenty finishes. Rex My
guy Sahith Thigala continues to finish inside the top twenty, and.
Speaker 2: He's really really underrated.
Speaker 1: What do they have him here at top twenty? Plus
two sixty five inside the top twenty if you want
to do it including ties, you're right around like plus
two thirty. So I love that one. Chris got her
up is minus one oh two Dan. He's won two
out of three tournaments that he's played this season. What
are we doing here?
Speaker 2: Why is the only minus one o two to finish in.
Speaker 1: The top twenties? What are the best golfers on.
Speaker 2: Tour?
Speaker 1: So yeah, those are a couple of plays that you
could look at those are all on craft things, well done,
well h andy. Yeah, absolutely absolutely so. All right, that's
