  Speaker 1: All systems going clear, We left on what is going on? Everyone?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: This is sheets and welcome to week one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: fourteen for real of the Survivor Pool experience. We're going
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be just doing a recap of week thirteen and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: give you kind of a preview of how content is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: going to look as we get down to the end here,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because I talked about this really really early on, even
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: before week one, and I want to emphasize what that's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: going to look like from from here on in. So again,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if you're not a premium member, I certainly advise you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to sign up for it. As we are getting down
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to the end of the Survivor Pool season, A lot
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of the lessons are going to have to do with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: short stack play and and things like that and really
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: personalized looks but still open for you, and just kind
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of give you a preview. If you thought that this
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was taxing on your brain, wait wait till you get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to the NCAA bracket Pool of Survivor stuff. That that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: is like a whole other level of a brain of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: brain melt. Okay, which we'll get to. That's it's definitely.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to do is the is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: NCAA March Madness Survivor, But that's down the road. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with your subscription, I think you do get access to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that as well. So uh yeah. In any case, as
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I mentioned before, as we get down into these middle
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to end weeks, who you are supposed to play is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: pretty much determined in some degree by who you've taken. Okay,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there's very few kind of like smash plays that are
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: winner take, you know, that are one size fits all.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm really trying to, you know, to emphasize
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: when people ask me, oh, who do you like this week?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And this? This, this, I say, it depends who you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: have left, how many people are in the pool, what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the you know and who they have left and things
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: like that. So the idea is that during the course
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of the season, to teach you guys how to analyze
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: these things for yourselves so that you can tailor it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to your specific pool. Now we have, you know, we
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have taken under our wing the Adam Warhane and the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Adam Warhane and and the and the and the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Hoops entries which have been really really good to track
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to help you know, help them, but help everybody else,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like kind of learn how to manage this stuff. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, it's gonna be fun. I really really
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: think that both of these dudes, there's Adam in the chat,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: both these guys have set themselves up with a path.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I mean that you they really can get this done,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and you've got to kind of stay on the ball
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and don't screw up. And obviously it's going to be
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: left to the you know, the football gods and great degree.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But you got some stuff, guys. I mean really, we'll
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: talk about it tomorrow. I'm telling you, I couldn't even wait.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Like Sunday night, I was already analyzing both of your
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: guys stuff for the for the coming weeks, and uh,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you'll appreciate my my thoughts on
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: how you're supposed to look at your entries. So I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: guess you know last week what happened so the the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Ravens both lost on Thanksgiving. That
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you've heard through the grapevine, caused total
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: destruction to the huge circle pool that has like eighteen million.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: For first it's out in Vegas, just because the way
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the structure of that pool is everybody had to take
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: somebody on Thanksgiving, so were the two biggest favorites that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: everybody'd been saving. Both went down. It was a freaking
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: colossal train wreck. I mean that pool went from nine
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hundred down to forty five in like one day. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: good for the people that dodged all those bullets. Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and then on Sunday the big knockout was the Rams.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So if you're unfortunate to have to have taken Eagles,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Rams or Ravens, then it certainly hurts you, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but again, all you could do is put yourselves in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the right position to win and get yourself the most
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: ev Speaking of which, we're going to continue to use
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: this tool, but as we get down to this portion
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like these default know pick percentages are not going to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: be particularly relevant. You know, well, they'll be relevant to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: some pools, but you know, there everybody's pool is different
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at this point, so we're gonna have to be really
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: really careful about saying what these guys are going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be on. Like Cleveland at twelve percent could be twelve
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: percent owned in single pick pools, but in doubles they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: might be more. Tampa at fifty two percent might that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: might be right in single picks, but in doubles they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: might be eighty, you know what I mean. So so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we'll have to we'll have to really talk about that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But this but this tool is going to be very
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it's very important to me when I use it to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: customize my short stack evs. And we'll talk about that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Just to kind of give you a summary of what
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: happened in our pools. So this was the well, we'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get back to these in a second. Let's do the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: high stakes pools. The bad news was in this five
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: K that both Title and I were in. We both
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: went down here. Title made a very aggressive play here
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he had the rams available, but in an attempt to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: save the rams for seventeen I imagine, which was very very sharp,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he took up. He took a pretty calculated risk and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: went down to Philly. I actually suggested on the on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the the the on the stream last week that he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: could have taken in a very aggressive stance to play
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Miami to save the rams. So he did not exactly this,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: but like something a little different. I don't know if
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I would have burned a team likes Philly that I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: could have used in fifteen or sixteen for that purpose,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure he had, you know. The reasoning was,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was was sound enough that you wanted to save the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Rams for when really nobody was gonna have I, on
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the other hand, I actually went with the Rams and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I went down too, So that's just kind of the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: way it is. And then our old friend Galen Hall,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: which we I haven't decided whether I want to talk
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: about him or not, he got He went down with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Philly in this one as well, So unfortunately that's down
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to fourteen now without us in it. The other big
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: high stakes one that I'm in is actually this one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I went with the Chargers because my idea, and I'll
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: get into more of this tomorrow and whatever he start to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: fill in who I might want looking forward or these possibilities.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: My whole idea, as you remember me talking about last week,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was my all My leverage was it was New England,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so I wanted to make sure I got there. Now
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what ended up happening was I made a mistake. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: really considered playing Miami because look at what happened with
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this pool. Everybody except for one person to lac So
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: if Mark Grigorich he had he was getting eleven to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one odds pretty much on this On this play, after
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Baltimore was was was was eliminated. Actually the rams were
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: still live there, so he could have won the whole
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: pool if the charge was lost. They didn't, but that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that's you know. That was something I was considering to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: do in Miami, but I figured it was better to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: just kind of wait for my leverage in week seventeen.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that the two big splash pools.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: First of all, the Splash two point five million, that's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: down to three hundred and thirty four and Ship at
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Nation is still live. He actually did do exactly what
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I suggested this time. I went with Miami in lac
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and advancing. We'll talk about him tomorrow. And then in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this Ship in Nation tournament with two hundred and fifty
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: thousand left, both of our friends are still in this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So first of all, Ship at Nation hoops account I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: believe the same entry, yep, and he's down with that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: same thing. And then our friend Adam in from the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: chat here went with my I said Miami, and I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: kind of left the other decision up to him. Right
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: about whatever you want, Philly, I would have could have
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: seen you trying that and lost. Have seen you try
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco and winning, and you picked you picked
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a good one. You picked Jacksonville. So you are. You're
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in there, and you're not as bad off as you think. Dude,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. We I know you feel as though
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: we had to play the Rams last week and it
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: felt kind of ugly, but we did it for portfolio
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: manager purposes. And I promise you that if you didn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: play LA and got through with somebody else, I would have.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I would have demanded and made you play the Rams
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this in thirteen and then you'd be out. Okay, So
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we are. We are live and moving on, and your
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: path is really not that bad. Well, we will get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to it circa I mentioned already, we talked about that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not in it, and there are some listen, there's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: some other fun ones that we could talk about if
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you want. Like there's this on Splash there's this triple
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: extra bloody pool where you have you have to pick
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: three you have to pick three picks per week, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I'm in that thing. Okay. I got through three entries
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in that last week, including up really cool when I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: got the Jets through, and then I'm already starting to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: plan out my map for the for the for the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: remainder of the tournaments. Again, if you play on Splash,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you could already put the stuff in just to kind
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of see what it all looks like. I guess again,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much all all all I have. You know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you know, well, we will talk about individual pools, we'll
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: talk about Adam's entries, we'll talk about Shoops entries, to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: talk about my high stakes entries, and and and we'll
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: talk about how to play these short these short slates,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because that's what this is. It's only fourteen, fifteen sixty
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: seventy eighteen, only five more weeks. For some of you,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that's only five more picks. For some of you it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: is ten. But that is going to do it. Good luck, everybody.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I will see you guys tomorrow.
• 11:11
