- 0:19Hello and welcome to episode 89 of the All Systems Go.
- 0:24Sports betting podcast powered by rhythm I'm your.
- 0:28Host Josh. Applebaum What's going on,
- 0:34everyone? Happy Friday.
- 0:36The work week is winding down. The weekend is.
- 0:38Upon us. And we got a lot.
- 0:40To get to on today's. Podcast I have a 5 pack of
- 0:43sweats. For you, including four Major
- 0:45League Baseball. Bets as well as.
- 0:47You know what, we love to talk. About on Fridays.
- 0:49A little bit of. Biting in the arena, UFC.
- 0:53That's right, I located a bout here.
- 0:56With a very sharp line move a great.
- 0:58Bet split a. Big reach advantage and a big
- 1:00height advantage, so pretty much every box is being checked off.
- 1:04Let's see if we can. Run our winning streak.
- 1:06To eight straight in the UFC. Knock on wood, I'm.
- 1:08Also very excited because my. Buddy is hosting a cookout.
- 1:12Tomorrow. So we're getting all.
- 1:13The boys together, the wives are.
- 1:15Coming. The girlfriends are coming.
- 1:16The dogs, there's some babies. Coming As you can tell, we're in
- 1:19our. Mid to late 30s.
- 1:20Now, so some of the cookouts, you know, it changes a little.
- 1:24Bit as you get older. But we do have a UFC on ABC.
- 1:28Starting at noon, I believe. And the main.
- 1:30Card starts at 3:00 so. Grilling, chilling and
- 1:33thrilling. With the boys.
- 1:35And you know, we're going to be sweating.
- 1:36UFC Together. So I'm very much looking.
- 1:38Forward to tomorrow, but. I do have a UFC bout biting.
- 1:41System match for you guys. For tomorrow.
- 1:44With that being said though. How about another winning night
- 1:46in the arena, including a little bit of luck that went our way?
- 1:49So 2 and 1 + 1 unit 2, one and one, and the one that was a push
- 1:55or a void, whatever you want to call it, was our first NFL bet
- 1:58of the year. So on the bright side, we beat
- 2:00the closing line. Remember we talked about that
- 2:02really sharp dog to fave line move?
- 2:03In favor of Houston, they open getting a point and 1/2.
- 2:06They flip to -2 1/2 for the Hall of Fame.
- 2:09Game. We bet.
- 2:10Them when they were minus. Two on the money line.
- 2:12So you bet a money line at -2 closes. 2 1/2.
- 2:15And some. Shops are even juiced up. -2 1/2
- 2:18- 120 like it was going to. Three, we did our part.
- 2:21We beat the closing line, however.
- 2:24There's a good. Lead early for Houston.
- 2:25I'm like, oh, this is great. I think they're up.
- 2:27Was it 7 Nothing 10 to 717 to 7 Chicago.
- 2:31Storms back takes a. 2117 Lead. With like, I don't know, halfway
- 2:36through the third quarter. And then?
- 2:37The skies opened up Thunder. Lightning ton of rain.
- 2:41They end up canceling the game or postponing the OR not
- 2:44postponing. They basically shut the game
- 2:45off. Midway through the third
- 2:46quarter. So why is that?
- 2:47Important. That's important because.
- 2:50If they. And again, this is.
- 2:52Very important because you got. To look at your house.
- 2:54Rules and. House rules, basically.
- 2:57Basically you got to look at. The way your book will.
- 2:59Grade A game like this that gets, you know, cut off,
- 3:02cancelled, postponed and the. Majority of books almost.
- 3:06All books. Will grade that as a.
- 3:08Void or a no bet? Cancellation.
- 3:10You get your money back. Why?
- 3:12Because almost. Every book has a house.
- 3:14Rule when it comes to. Pre season football you have to
- 3:17play at. Least 55 minutes, so you might.
- 3:20Have seen on Twitter. A lot of you know.
- 3:22Odds makers or you know. PR people for different books.
- 3:25Talking Hey, House. Rules got to be 50. 5 minutes or
- 3:27more. So why is that important?
- 3:29Well, I'll take the. Void because Houston.
- 3:32Was down at the time by 4 points.
- 3:34Now Houston. Could have come back.
- 3:36At the time, Chicago it was. It was a Brett.
- 3:38Rippon just kept lighting up. Houston's defense.
- 3:41Gave him a. Four point lead there.
- 3:43Halfway through the 3rd. But anyway.
- 3:45We could have maybe crossed our. Fingers and said hey, play the
- 3:48rest of the game through the. Rain There was a the.
- 3:51Fourth string quarterback for Chicago was coming in.
- 3:53Tim Boyle was it? Was in for Houston.
- 3:55Maybe Houston would. Have come back, scored and won
- 3:57the game and cashed our bet but also we were losing at the time
- 4:00so Long story short. The bet got voided because of
- 4:04the. Weather and the game.
- 4:06Not being completed. And it was created as a voided
- 4:08bet, so I'll. Take that personally, you know.
- 4:10You could walk the tightrope. And say, hey, Houston.
- 4:12Could have come back and won, but I think the fact that we
- 4:15beat the closing line and we got our money back.
- 4:17Hey, not too bad there. But we did have a good night in
- 4:20Major League Baseball. Had a couple.
- 4:21Great hits with the Guardians rolling. 2:50 Member Guardians
- 4:25have that tiny. Little 5 cent move.
- 4:27In their favor, and they're a little bit contrarian.
- 4:29Rockies had a. Massive come from behind when
- 4:31Rockies were down by two runs going into the 9th, they tied it
- 4:35up. They scored a run in the tenth.
- 4:36They. Shut the door with a guy with a
- 4:38high era. I was like, I can't believe it.
- 4:40I'm like, here we go. They're going to lose.
- 4:41But. They held it down the.
- 4:43Rockies big winner the. One that was frustrating though.
- 4:46Saint Louis Cardinals. Come on, man.
- 4:48The Saint Louis Cardinals were. Leading 4:00 to 2:00.
- 4:52Going into the bottom of the ninth and they brought on Ryan
- 4:54Helsley. This guy Hellboy, is actually.
- 4:57Jeremy Helixon. But if you remember that name, I
- 4:59can't believe that. Flowed out of me so easily, but
- 5:02Helsley throws. Like 102 mph.
- 5:05He's one of the best. Closers in baseball and he.
- 5:07Also came into the game having not given up a.
- 5:10Single earned run in all of July.
- 5:12So I'm like. Here we go.
- 5:13You know, shut the door. What happens?
- 5:15He blows it, gives up. Three runs and you lose. 5:00 to
- 5:184:00 so. Even though you know we.
- 5:21We got the Cardinals. Blowing it for us.
- 5:23You know, saving or. You know, kind of not allowing
- 5:25us to go three and oh and bust out the brooms.
- 5:28Hey, we had a good comeback with the Rockies, hey.
- 5:30We had a bet voided that may have lost.
- 5:32Either way, we eked out a profit so I'll take it.
- 5:34Some things went our way. Some.
- 5:36Things didn't, but overall. Two and 1 + 1 unit.
- 5:39I will take that every. Single time now as I mentioned
- 5:42looking. Toward today a four pack. 4
- 5:44plays in Major League Baseball along.
- 5:46With a big UFC biting. System match for tomorrow Let's
- 5:49start off with. The aforementioned Major League
- 5:52Baseball. So first by the night.
- 5:54Let's go to. Detroit, where the Tigers are.
- 5:56Hosting the Kansas City Royals. Now going to this match up.
- 6:00We have the Kansas City. Royals. 61 and 49 on the year
- 6:04they cruised. To a. 7 to one win yesterday.
- 6:06And the series opener. Cashing as a minus. 145 road
- 6:09favorite. Now looking for tonight, the
- 6:12Royals. Are going to go with lefty Cole
- 6:14Reagan's who's? Seven and seven with a 3.37 ERA.
- 6:17It'll be. Opposed by the Cy Young.
- 6:19Favorite lefty Tarik Scubal On the year, Scubal is 12 and 3/2.
- 6:23.35 year, right? Tigers, by the way. 52 and 58 on
- 6:27the year. So what do we see across the
- 6:28market here? Well, even though.
- 6:30Scubal is a great pitcher. I'm betting against scuba.
- 6:32I'm going with. Bobby Witt, Junior.
- 6:34And the Kansas City. Royals at.
- 6:36Basically even money, maybe you find a little bit of plus money.
- 6:39But what I like about Kansas? City in the spot.
- 6:41Is the good sharp? Line move in their.
- 6:43Favorite We open this game Detroit.
- 6:45A - 120 home favorite. And basically the tickets.
- 6:49Are pretty much down the middle. You're getting a slight majority
- 6:51of bets on Kansas. City.
- 6:53They're getting 56. Percent of bets, but it's not
- 6:55like. They're getting 6676. 86% of
- 6:58bets I mean 56% pretty slight. Basically tells me public.
- 7:02Probably wants to bet Kansas. City just because.
- 7:05Better record and Bobby Witt. But also.
- 7:07They're wary of going up against the Cy Young.
- 7:09Favorite at this point? I believe school is like -135
- 7:12for the Cy Young right now. So 56% of.
- 7:15Bets. Maybe a line?
- 7:17Moves one cent here or there, but doesn't usually move $0.10
- 7:20and that's. What we've seen here.
- 7:21Detroit open -120 Detroit is now down to -110 Now, why is that
- 7:26important? Because this line is going.
- 7:28Away from the Tigers. Toward.
- 7:30Kansas City, KS City went. From plus 110 down to basically
- 7:33plus 100. Some shops even hopping the
- 7:35fence to like -1 O five. We're not quite at a pick em.
- 7:39But basically we're going from Kansas City dog.
- 7:42Dropping. Toward a pickup so that.
- 7:43Tells me wise guys are saying hey.
- 7:45We got a Royals team. That's red hot right now.
- 7:48Detroit sold at the deadline even though they got their ace
- 7:50on the bump. Looks like smart.
- 7:52Money's going with Kansas. City at a very good value price
- 7:55as a basically coin flip dog. Now if you.
- 7:58Look at Kansas City. One thing I like about.
- 7:59Them is divisional dog value. Obviously these are two teams.
- 8:03In the AL Central. Kansas City's A divisional.
- 8:05Dog against Detroit Divisional. Matchups we do lean.
- 8:08Dogs historically just. Because of the built in.
- 8:10Familiarity. Leveling the playing field.
- 8:12Benefiting the team. Getting some plus money and I'm
- 8:15going to really bank on the offense.
- 8:16Of Kansas City. Kansas City Royals.
- 8:18Are hitting 252 on the year. They've scored. 519 runs.
- 8:23Tigers are hitting 2:30 with only 460 runs scored.
- 8:26And you may ask. Yourself we got 2.
- 8:28Lefties on the bump. Reagan's against Scubal.
- 8:31How do these teams do? Against lefties offensively
- 8:33well, big edge to Kansas. City Kansas City on the year is
- 8:37hitting 263 against lefties. That's the 5th best average in
- 8:40baseball against. Southpaws, Detroit.
- 8:42'S only hitting 2:30. Nine against lefties.
- 8:44That ranks 22nd. Also the Royals.
- 8:47Over the last 10 games. Six and four hitting 290. 3
- 8:51tigers over the last. 10-3 and seven only hitting a buck. 91.
- 8:54So big advantage, hopefully offensively.
- 8:56For Kansas City and by the way? Divisional matchups.
- 9:00They play each other quite often.
- 9:02Kansas City is five and two. Head to head against Detroit
- 9:04this year. So do I love?
- 9:06Going against Tarx Google. Arguably one of the best.
- 9:08Pitchers in baseball? No, I don't.
- 9:10But I'm going to follow the sharp line move.
- 9:12I'm going to go with Kansas. City here.
- 9:14Again, going from plus 1/10. Basically down to even money.
- 9:17Shop around, try to get plus 100.
- 9:19I see. A + 1 O2 out there.
- 9:21I also see a - 1 O 5 so. Get as close to even money or a
- 9:24little. Plus money as you.
- 9:25Can but. I'm going to go with.
- 9:26Bobby Witt, Junior. And I'm going to follow this
- 9:29sharp line. Move.
- 9:29Give me the Kansas City. Royals.
- 9:31I got the Royals at +100. Next one up for you.
- 9:35If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Baltimore and Cleveland.
- 9:39The Guardians cashed a. Huge bet for us yesterday.
- 9:42Hint hint. I'm going right back to the.
- 9:43Wall of Cleveland here today. Now going into this one, the
- 9:46Guardians are. 66 and 42. Had a big win for us last night.
- 9:502:50. Cashing as a -. 110 Home
- 9:52Favorite science matchup rematch in in.
- 9:55Cleveland, The Orioles, who are 65 and 40.
- 9:58Five. They're going to go.
- 9:58With ready Dean Kramer, he's. Four and seven with a 4.2 O ERA.
- 10:03Meanwhile, the Guardians are going to go.
- 10:04With ready Carlos Carrasco. 3:00 and 9:00. 5.68 ERA.
- 10:09What are we seeing across the market here?
- 10:10Well. Very similar to Detroit, Kansas.
- 10:12City where open. Detroit favorite?
- 10:14And lines dropping, same thing here, we open Baltimore favorite
- 10:17and now the lines dropping. So Baltimore open this game
- 10:20around a -, 120 Rd. Favorite and the public's
- 10:23saying. Orioles good team.
- 10:25Off a bad loss yesterday, they'll.
- 10:27Bounce back and win today. Right, kind of a bit.
- 10:29Of a gambler's fallacy or this team is due.
- 10:31Or they have to bounce. Back kind of that, you know,
- 10:34opinion based approach that you never really.
- 10:35Want to get behind Go? Get behind with the market.
- 10:38Is telling you what's going on. So even though. 71% of bets are
- 10:42on Baltimore. They're the big public play
- 10:43tonight. The lines falling away from
- 10:45them, They open -120 they're down to -115 -, 110 So you have
- 10:50this line going. Away from the O's even though
- 10:52they're getting. Nearly three out of four bets.
- 10:54You. Guys know what that is?
- 10:57RLM reverse line movement Publix on Baltimore yet lines going.
- 11:00To Cleveland. Cleveland open getting.
- 11:02Plus 1/10. Similar to that KC.
- 11:04Game we just talked about. Now they're about even money.
- 11:07At around plus 100 or you know, some shops around -1 O 5.
- 11:10Again, shop around. Try to get as close to even
- 11:12money as you can. Cleveland is one of the top.
- 11:15Contrarian plays of the day. This is one of the most heavily
- 11:17bet. Games of the night and they're
- 11:18only getting 29. Percent of bets, so just from a
- 11:21bet against. The drunk guys at the.
- 11:22Bar on a Friday. Night sweating the O's I want to
- 11:25be with Cleveland. Also we have the guardians
- 11:27correlative betting. Dog high total there.
- 11:29Dog in this one. Total in this game is 9 some.
- 11:32Shops even juiced up 9. Over -115 so more expected run
- 11:36scored, more variants, more upset opportunities.
- 11:40Guardians, by the way. 34 and 15 at home this year.
- 11:42That's the best home record in baseball, so they've played
- 11:45very, very well. It's not Jacobs Field anymore.
- 11:47What is it? Progressive Field.
- 11:49Anyway, Guardians are also three and one against Baltimore, so
- 11:53they've had their number. Hopefully that continues here
- 11:55tonight and. I'm going to really bank on the
- 11:57Guardians pitching. They have the better bullpen.
- 12:00They have the best. Bullpen in baseball two point.
- 12:0247 ERAE. RA for the Orioles. 3.94.
- 12:06In the pen, so hopefully if it's a tight game, we have Cleveland,
- 12:09you know, holding down a lead and.
- 12:10Baltimore may be coughing up. A lead or a close?
- 12:13Game giving it up, and over the last 10 games in particular.
- 12:16Cleveland's overall team ERA 3.3. 4 Baltimore's. 5.26.
- 12:22So this feels like hey. It's got to be.
- 12:23Baltimore, they got blown out. Yesterday, they're a good team.
- 12:25They got to win today. But Nope.
- 12:28Publix all over Baltimore, lines dropping toward the guardians.
- 12:30I'm going Guardians. Here, give me Cleveland.
- 12:33I got them at +100. Keep on cruising, this was kind
- 12:37of a late. Addition for me because we had a
- 12:38pitching. Change and this is very
- 12:39important. This is a. 7:10 PM Eastern.
- 12:42Time first pitch between the San Francisco Giants and the
- 12:44Cincinnati Reds. Now, originally we were
- 12:48expecting Kyle Harrison. Lefty.
- 12:51To start for San Francisco. But there was a late early
- 12:54afternoon, later afternoon adjustment.
- 12:55Maybe it was around. Like 1:00.
- 12:57Where actually Blake. Snell is going to start this
- 13:00game. So once we saw.
- 13:02That Harrison was out and. Snell was going to start.
- 13:04You saw a massive adjustment in favor of San.
- 13:06Francisco because this game opened.
- 13:09Cincinnati favorite Cincinnati was around -120.
- 13:12Now we flip to. San Fran -125 Some shops.
- 13:16Even going up closer. To -130 so.
- 13:18That's notable to me because as soon as you get.
- 13:21A pitching change like that. You know, you got to remember
- 13:23the wise guys who bet. Professionally bet for a living.
- 13:26They're, you know, making moves as soon as you get a, a pitching
- 13:30change, so. The minute they saw Snell
- 13:32obviously getting the start here in favor of Harrison, boom,
- 13:35massive line adjustment. The odds makers shifted the line
- 13:38based on the pitching change, but then wise guys pounded it in
- 13:41San Francisco. Moving that line in favor of the
- 13:44G men. And if you.
- 13:45Look at the stats here. Like you might be like.
- 13:47Blake Snell. He's O and.
- 13:48Three with a 5 point. One O ERA, you know, what's the
- 13:51deal? But actually a.
- 13:53Little bit deceiving Snell, who signed late I.
- 13:55Think Scott Boris kind of screwed him.
- 13:57Even though he did get. You know, decent deal he didn't
- 13:59get the. Long term deal he wanted.
- 14:01Was it 2 years like? 60 million, something like that.
- 14:04Started off really bad. Because he didn't.
- 14:05Have a spring training, but in the month of July, Blake Snell
- 14:08made. Four starts.
- 14:10Guess what his era was? 0.75.
- 14:13This guy was the the balls, nails, whatever you want to call
- 14:17it. In the month of July. 24 innings
- 14:19pitched. Only gave up two earned runs so
- 14:22I want to get behind Snell looks like.
- 14:23He kind of found his. Juju again, he'll be opposed.
- 14:26By Andrew Abbott, another lefty, he's nine and seven with a 3.38
- 14:30DRA. But a lot of angles now are
- 14:32lighting up or system matches are lighting up with San Fran.
- 14:35So they are a non division favorite.
- 14:36Lack of familiarity benefiting quote UN quote the better team
- 14:40also. We have Rd. favorite with.
- 14:43Steam. Getting $0.10 or more.
- 14:45We have. Both teams are below 5. 100 Take
- 14:48the favorite. That's also around a 60% system
- 14:50match. And let's see both.
- 14:54Had the day off take. The favorite?
- 14:55That's 61. Percent favorite off a loss.
- 14:57Opponent off a win. Another system match.
- 15:00Or actually, I guess technically.
- 15:01That wouldn't match. Because San Francisco.
- 15:03Won their last game. But either.
- 15:04Way you're getting a lot of system matches lighting up on
- 15:08San Francisco offensively. Hopefully the bats come to life
- 15:11for the G men. The G.
- 15:13Men. Hitting 244 in the year.
- 15:15Versus 2. 30 for Cincinnati and in particular.
- 15:18Once again we got 2. Lefties Snell against Abbott San
- 15:21Francisco is. Hitting 263 against lefties this
- 15:24year. That's the 6th best.
- 15:26Average against southpaws. Cincinnati's only.
- 15:28Hitting 234 against lefties. That's 24th in baseball.
- 15:32San Fran is 2 and one head to head against Cincy this year.
- 15:35So I'll take that. And the last 10 San Fran, 6:00
- 15:38and 4:00. They're hitting 253.
- 15:40With a 3.21 ERA. Since he's five and five, only
- 15:43hitting 220. With a 3.93 ERA, so San Fran is
- 15:47playing better as of late. They got their ace on the bump
- 15:50who was great in July, the lines moving in their favor and
- 15:53they're pretty good hitters against lefties.
- 15:55Knock on wood. Hope that continues.
- 15:57So again, I didn't really have this game, you know, lighting up
- 16:00for me throughout the morning. But as soon as.
- 16:02Snell came in there. Boom.
- 16:03Ton of steam I. Want to be with that sharp
- 16:05movement? I'm going with San Francisco.
- 16:07Shop around. I got San Fran at -125 Some
- 16:10shops are inching up further toward -130 Last bit of the
- 16:15night, 8:10 PM Eastern Time, first pitch.
- 16:17Between Tampa Bay and Houston. Now going into this one first of
- 16:21a three-game series. The rays are 50. 5 and 53 They
- 16:25just split A2 game series against the Marlins.
- 16:27Although they did lose that. Finale.
- 16:29Six to two as a. -210 Favorite. This is how baseball is crazy.
- 16:34What was it? Taj Bradley?
- 16:35Guys been awesome, he got. Lit up by the lowly Marlins, so.
- 16:38That's baseball for you. Anyway, the Astros. 56 and 52.
- 16:42They just dropped. However, two or three against
- 16:44the Pirates. We did avoid the sweep though
- 16:45with A5 to. Four win in the series finale on
- 16:48Wednesday, cashing as a -, 200 home favorite.
- 16:51So pitching match up for tonight, the Rays are going to
- 16:53go with Rady Shane Baz. He's O and one with a 3.66 ERA.
- 16:58Astros, meanwhile, they're going to tap newly.
- 17:00Acquired lefty, you say? Kikuchi who?
- 17:03They picked up at the. Deadline from the Blue Jays.
- 17:05He's 4:00 and 9:00 with a 4.75 ERA.
- 17:07What? Have we seen across the market
- 17:09here? Well, good sharp steam.
- 17:11In favor of the strose, I'm going strose guys.
- 17:14Houston Astros. Open as low as a -. 140 home
- 17:16favorite they've now been bet up to -150.
- 17:19Five, I see some shops. Even going a.
- 17:21Little bit further. Toward -160 so pretty much one
- 17:24sided movement. All in favor of Houston.
- 17:27Tells me smart money here is. Laying it with the Strohs.
- 17:29Now they're getting. Around 80%.
- 17:31Of bets in dollars, so kind of a public and sharp pro and Joe
- 17:35that split not just public but also respected money, but they
- 17:38have a lot of supplementary. Factors that are kind of.
- 17:41Ticking off their box, checking off boxes.
- 17:43And trying to. Build a case.
- 17:45Why? Why One bet, Houston?
- 17:47Here's one of them. Correlative betting favorite,
- 17:49low total. They're on a minus. 155 - 160
- 17:52favorite total is. 7 1/2. It actually.
- 17:54Fell at some shops 8 down to 7 1/2 so mention this a lot on the
- 17:59pod, but when you have the total dropping in the line, moving
- 18:01toward the favorite, that's a good angle.
- 18:03There typically that's a. Good sign for the favorite to
- 18:05win in a low scoring game also. We have the non division.
- 18:10Favorite. So Houston obviously from the.
- 18:12ALS Tampa Bay, AL East. The lack of familiarity
- 18:14benefiting quote UN quote the better team system match here.
- 18:18Both favorites coming. Off a day off, take the
- 18:20favorite. Very simple, but it's. 61%.
- 18:23Since 2020. Big sample.
- 18:25Size. And hopefully.
- 18:26The bats of Houston. Come to play tonight.
- 18:28Kikuchi has a good open, a good debut with the Stroh's but.
- 18:31Houston's. Bats, they're hitting 260.
- 18:33One with 123 homers. 502 runs scored.
- 18:38Tampa's only hitting 234 with 102.
- 18:40Homers, 432 runs scored. So we got a line move.
- 18:44Toward Houston, we got a non division.
- 18:47Favorite we have a. Correlative betting favorite,
- 18:49low total, We have better bats and we have the total dropping
- 18:53with the line moving. Toward the favorite so add it
- 18:55all up guys I. Think we have an opportunity to
- 18:57sweat the Strohs tonight? So I'm going Astros shop around.
- 19:00I got the Strohs at -155. So Kansas City and Cleveland
- 19:05both at around even money. And then we have San Fran -125
- 19:09-? 130 and the aforementioned
- 19:11Houston Astros around -150? Five.
- 19:14Can we get three out of four? That is the goal.
- 19:17Now to my. Favorite topic to discuss on
- 19:20Friday? All systems Go pods.
- 19:22That's right. Biting little bit of UFC who
- 19:26loves sweating UFC raise your hand.
- 19:28Something about UFC, the sweat. Is unparalleled.
- 19:31And it's only once a week you pick out.
- 19:32One bout that matches, you know our system.
- 19:35I I wouldn't change it for anything.
- 19:36I always get excited. To talk.
- 19:38Friday UFC and then. Sweat with you guys on a big
- 19:41Saturday. So with that being said.
- 19:43Let's go to Abu Dhabi. It is very.
- 19:46Very far away, but we're going to go there and we're going to
- 19:48focus on. A lightweight bout what I like.
- 19:51About this one, I mentioned it at the outset.
- 19:53I'm going to my buddy Fed's party.
- 19:55With all the boys and all the spouses.
- 19:58And and all the kids and dogs. It's going to be a lot of fun.
- 20:01Anytime we get together, it's like, OK, who's bringing the hot
- 20:04dogs, who's bringing the burgers?
- 20:06You know who's got the dessert, who's got the beers, who's got
- 20:09the other? Things that I won't mention, but
- 20:11I'm very much looking forward to this one because we have someone
- 20:14who's checking off pretty much every box so.
- 20:17For those who are new to UFC. If you've been grinding.
- 20:20With us, you know this. What I always mentioned.
- 20:22But we do have new people listening to the pod.
- 20:23So I think it's important #1 when?
- 20:25It comes to UFC. I try not to have any bias
- 20:28whatsoever and. Like we do with every sport,
- 20:31leave your bias at the door. What's the?
- 20:33Market doing UFC in particular, we have come up with a model
- 20:38basically. I'm not reinventing.
- 20:40The wheel. I'm not Stephen.
- 20:41Hawking or Albert Einstein here, but our model.
- 20:46Is looking to combine the. Tail the tape Advantages.
- 20:48With what the markets doing. So what does that mean?
- 20:50It means that when I get this e-mail from.
- 20:53John Ewing, my buddy at. BET MGM every Friday morning.
- 20:57I look. For what?
- 20:58The market. Is telling me.
- 20:59And then I go look. At the tail of the tape and if.
- 21:01Those kind of jive together and then I also look at some other
- 21:04supplementary. Factors that we'll get to.
- 21:06Boom, we've made. A case to go get.
- 21:08Down in the Octagon so. Little refresher, What do we
- 21:11look for? We look for a fighter who is.
- 21:12Younger, taller, has a longer reach.
- 21:16But more importantly, or as important, if not more
- 21:18importantly. Has a line.
- 21:19Move in their favor. So the lines going in their
- 21:21direction tells me smart money's on their side and really
- 21:24importantly, a great. Bet split.
- 21:26So a low percentage of bets along with a high percentage of
- 21:29dollars. So without further ado, there is
- 21:32one bout. And this bout is?
- 21:34On the main card starts at 3:00 tomorrow.
- 21:37On ABC. It is a lightweight.
- 21:39Bout between Joel Alvarez. And Elvis Brenner, you know who?
- 21:44We're going with Joel Alvarez, baby.
- 21:47Let's go. Mr. Alvarez, Why do I like Joel
- 21:50Alvarez? Well, I don't like him because
- 21:51of my opinion. I like him because of.
- 21:53He's matching our model. That we just talked about.
- 21:55So let's start off with the market Joel Alvarez opened.
- 21:59As a -, 140. Favorite he.
- 22:01Is now a -, 1. 75 favorite, so boom, first box we're checking
- 22:05off. Line has moved.
- 22:06Toward Joel Alvarez, second box bet splits the tickets.
- 22:11Are almost down the middle 53% of bets are on Alvarez, so very,
- 22:15very slight tiny little lean, but Alvarez is getting. 80% of
- 22:19dollars. So only. 53% bets.
- 22:22But 80? Percent dollars, so lines.
- 22:24Moving in his favor. 5050 line move.
- 22:27With a great low bets, higher dollars bet split so I love
- 22:30that. Now he is not younger.
- 22:33I don't love this. He's 31 years old.
- 22:36His opponent is 26 now. One thing someone told me a long
- 22:40time. Ago is fade fighters who are 35
- 22:42or older, so. Luckily, he's not that old.
- 22:44Like I'm 37 so. You know, I somewhat take.
- 22:47Offense to fading. Fighters 35 or older.
- 22:50The whole point being though, 31 still kind of in the prime.
- 22:52Of your career, the other. Angles that we like though.
- 22:55Even though Alvarez is a few years older.
- 22:58He's 6 foot 2. His opponent is five.
- 23:01Foot eight, that is a big height advantage.
- 23:04He has a. 77 inch reach. His opponent has a 72 1/2 inch
- 23:08reach. So even though we don't have the
- 23:09youth advantage he got, we have a big height advantage, we have
- 23:12a big reach. Advantage as well as the.
- 23:15Line move and the great bet splits and Alvarez's favor.
- 23:19And then also if you dig a little deeper.
- 23:20We're checking off some other boxes, so one would be.
- 23:23Punishment. Who takes more punishment?
- 23:26The angle here. Is to bet against Brenner.
- 23:29Because Brenner is. Absorbing 4.82.
- 23:32Significant strikes per minute. Versus our guy Alvarez.
- 23:36Taking in 3.3. Seven significant strikes per
- 23:39minute, so whole point being? Alvarez is a better job.
- 23:42Of taking less punishment, Brenner takes a lot of
- 23:44punishment. Also, our guy Alvarez is what
- 23:48who is what is known as a. Submission expert.
- 23:50This guy has got a ton of submissions.
- 23:53Guillotine. Choke there was.
- 23:55He won. His last bout.
- 23:56With a choke that I never heard of.
- 23:59DRS choke. I forgot what it is you guys.
- 24:02Might know anyway, he's a submission expert.
- 24:05He. Goes for. 1.3 submissions every
- 24:0815 minutes. His opponent?
- 24:11Brenner only 1/2 submission every 15 minutes.
- 24:14So we can get a. Submission.
- 24:16Get get Brenner to tap out. That could be a big advantage
- 24:19for us, for Alvarez. Not only is a great submission
- 24:22expert. But he's a great striker.
- 24:23He's a much more technical fighter and he's faced superior
- 24:27competition. I put a lot of stock into that.
- 24:29I was reading about Alvarez. He only fights like once a year
- 24:32so you can look at that. One of two ways.
- 24:33One is he's healthy. Rested, ready to go.
- 24:36You may say rest. Versus Rust, like Brenner,
- 24:39fights more often. But I will take that you know
- 24:42one. Fight a year as.
- 24:44Hey, almost like us only bet in one.
- 24:46UFC about a week, you know, maybe you.
- 24:48Put more stock into that. As a rested or.
- 24:51Game plan advantage. He's also coming off a win.
- 24:54Brenner is coming off a loss and.
- 24:57Also, he's the better grappler, so these are kind.
- 24:59Of the things that I'm picking up on, he takes less punishment.
- 25:02He's a submission. Expert.
- 25:04He's a better striker. He's more technical, he's face.
- 25:06Better competition. He's the better grappler.
- 25:08He's taller, he's got a longer reach, he's got a line.
- 25:11Move. He's got a great.
- 25:12Bet split. I mean other.
- 25:14Than him being 31. And Brenner being 26.
- 25:17That's the that's the only. Box that we're not checking off,
- 25:21but as I mentioned, at least he's not 30.
- 25:22Five or older. So I think we have a case here,
- 25:24guys to bet Joel Alvarez. To win this bout, shop around.
- 25:29You might be able to find him around -165 -, 170.
- 25:33I bet MGM right now he's -175 but I was able to find a -, 165,
- 25:37so I'm going with Joel. Alvarez.
- 25:39Biting in the UFC to hopefully get.
- 25:42A win for us and extend our win streak to eight straight.
- 25:46Let's go. Alvarez.
- 25:47Joel Alvarez. On the Money Line at -165 -,
- 25:51170. So that about does it for
- 25:53episode. 89 of the all. Systems go sports betting.

- 30:47With the smart money never against it.
- 30:50Will smart money win every time? Of course not.
- 30:53If if you guys haven't realized yet and you better realize it
- 30:55quickly, betting's hard. And ain't easy.
- 30:58Sometimes sharp plays lose, but here's the thing, even though
- 31:01that may happen in a one off. If we can consistently stay
- 31:03true. To the model that with our head
- 31:05and not our heart and go long term against the public with the
- 31:09House. With the pros flat bet avoid.
- 31:12Parlays and get that closing line value.
