Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Big show today. We got a ton of betting information
- 0:04Speaker 1: coming your way and a four pack of death including me,
- 0:08Speaker 1: Joe Rnary, Art the Caesar, and Steve Meryl with the
- 0:12Speaker 1: entire show. Let's get to it Art sportsbook Update, NFL
- 0:18Speaker 1: super Bowl, Let's start Mike there, brother, Yeah.
- 0:22Speaker 2: I mean, listen, yesterday, it was obviously a big day
- 0:24Speaker 2: at the West Gate. We put our props up, They
- 0:27Speaker 2: went up on the boards, packets started getting printed at
- 0:29Speaker 2: seven pm. That is a day before we normally do.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We used to do them on Thursdays. It was a
- 0:35Speaker 2: big to do, but yesterday was the big to do.
- 0:38Speaker 2: With the ever moving market of sportsbooks and just the
- 0:41Speaker 2: way it is with props basically going up Monday mornings
- 0:44Speaker 2: now at a lot of places, we had to adjust
- 0:46Speaker 2: a little bit and put ours up a day early.
- 0:49Speaker 2: So you know, our almost five hundred props are now
- 0:53Speaker 2: available on the app, they're available at the counter. So
- 0:57Speaker 2: now we're through that. So now we can, you know,
- 1:00Speaker 2: focus on these next couple of days where it we'll
- 1:02Speaker 2: just be business as normal and once we get to
- 1:05Speaker 2: Super Bowl week we'll be in the throes of Super
- 1:07Speaker 2: Bowl Week.
- 1:09Speaker 3: How many are it? I mean, the book of props
- 1:12Speaker 3: you got there. I mean, how outrageous are some of them? Are?
- 1:15Speaker 3: They all just strictly related to the games and the players.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Are you national anthem? Or are we going what color
- 1:23Speaker 3: to gatorade? All that kind of stuff there.
- 1:26Speaker 2: So those type of things like national anthem, color gatorade,
- 1:29Speaker 2: those things are not approved by Nevada Gaming. So there
- 1:33Speaker 2: are some things that maybe you'll see on a FanDuel
- 1:35Speaker 2: or DraftKings that we just don't offer because they're not approved.
- 1:39Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Obviously we try to get creative with some of the
- 1:42Speaker 2: cross sport props. Those are not as popular as they
- 1:45Speaker 2: were maybe ten years ago, where we would have you know, two, three,
- 1:48Speaker 2: four or five pages on that. Now maybe we just
- 1:51Speaker 2: have a page on the cross sport props. It's really
- 1:53Speaker 2: hard to do crossword props on the NBA because you're
- 1:57Speaker 2: trying to use these players and you don't know if
- 1:59Speaker 2: they're going to play, so you're putting all this time
- 2:01Speaker 2: and work in and maybe it's just a refund. So,
- 2:03Speaker 2: you know, we want to try to put our source,
- 2:06Speaker 2: you know, our resources and time and effort into things
- 2:09Speaker 2: that we think will get bets. That's what we always want.
- 2:12Speaker 2: What's gonna get bets.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Steve anything they art.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, it's very interesting, by the way,
- 2:18Speaker 4: about less cross sport props, and it makes total sense.
- 2:20Speaker 4: With the load management. The NBA has screwed up the
- 2:23Speaker 4: NFL Super Bowl. That's how much the load management is
- 2:25Speaker 4: messing things up.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the NBA has screwed up
- 2:29Speaker 1: the NBA. Just for the record, go ahead, Steve Well.
- 2:32Speaker 4: I was gonna say, first of all, Art, you and
- 2:34Speaker 4: I have to talk at the same time so people
- 2:36Speaker 4: know that we're not the same person. Because there's been
- 2:37Speaker 4: a lot of.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Yes questions about everyone, it's very confused.
- 2:42Speaker 4: They think we can't work together. That's not the case.
- 2:45Speaker 4: We can work together once a week. We're slowly starting
- 2:47Speaker 4: to work together. But I want to ask you how
- 2:49Speaker 4: much sharp action do you get that first day? Those
- 2:51Speaker 4: props come out yesterday? And I mean, I can't imagine
- 2:53Speaker 4: the public is jumping on them yet. But is it
- 2:55Speaker 4: a lot of sharps hammering the lines into place for you?
- 2:58Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:59Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean you know it's still people line up
- 3:01Speaker 2: and you get in line, and you get your two
- 3:03Speaker 2: dimes on two props, and then you have to get
- 3:05Speaker 2: back in line. So that's kind of always, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 2: been the way the Westgate, the Hilton have done it
- 3:11Speaker 2: in the past. That nothing has changed on that. So yeah,
- 3:14Speaker 2: I mean, listen, the public is going to start betting.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I mean they they've already started to bet the normal
- 3:19Speaker 2: things that they're gonna bet anytime touchdowns score, super Bowl, MVP,
- 3:23Speaker 2: the things of that nature. I mean the ones you
- 3:25Speaker 2: just saw last night that came out of the Super Bowl.
- 3:29Speaker 2: The big ones were three straight scores. We moved that
- 3:33Speaker 2: from one fifty to one seventy five and that was
- 3:35Speaker 2: on the yes, first touch, first score of the game,
- 3:39Speaker 2: touchdown moved from one thirty to one to fifty five.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And then largest lead they betted over thirteen and a half,
- 3:45Speaker 2: which was juice to the over at minus one thirty.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Now it's fourteen and a half juice to the under
- 3:50Speaker 2: minus one thirty. So those are really the three that
- 3:53Speaker 2: kind of stood out to me.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Are one of the prop bets that a lot of
- 3:57Speaker 1: people make regularly is that, you know, team to score
- 4:00Speaker 1: or three times in a row or team not to
- 4:02Speaker 1: score three times in a row. Uh, do you guys
- 4:05Speaker 1: get any action on that bet? Because Andrew and Karen
- 4:08Speaker 1: we're talking about that on puck Time today.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Yeah, actually that was the first one I had just mentioned.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Pres that was definitely sharp action. I mean, you know
- 4:17Speaker 2: they laid minus one fifty on that now up to
- 4:19Speaker 2: minus one seventy five. And listen, we get it. There
- 4:22Speaker 2: are plenty of people who will bet early and then
- 4:27Speaker 2: bet late and maybe try to get you know, some
- 4:30Speaker 2: five cents on this side or ten cents on that side.
- 4:33Speaker 2: And you know, you do that enough and a lot
- 4:34Speaker 2: of these super Bowl props and you shop around down
- 4:37Speaker 2: you know, you could be coming away with a profit
- 4:39Speaker 2: on a lot of these props. So we see a
- 4:41Speaker 2: lot of groups do that. You know, as far as
- 4:44Speaker 2: the Super Bowl props go.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Well, Steve Merril will be sorry, hold on what was
- 4:49Speaker 3: we talked about it the other day? The safety prop?
- 4:52Speaker 3: Will there be a safety or what did we end
- 4:54Speaker 3: up landing on? What kind of price?
- 4:57Speaker 2: So we're you know, like I said, we'll protect at
- 5:00Speaker 2: ourselves now on the step we are now we are
- 5:02Speaker 2: Now you're getting eight to one. Is there gonna be
- 5:05Speaker 2: a safety in the game?
- 5:06Speaker 1: You're getting eight to one if you want to lay
- 5:07Speaker 1: that wow.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Of course, because it's not what it used to be.
- 5:11Speaker 2: If you want to lay the No, you're laying fourteen dollars.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Now we do first half or second half. You can
- 5:17Speaker 2: pick those, so you actually get twelve to one on
- 5:19Speaker 2: first half or second half, but obviously you got to
- 5:21Speaker 2: hit the right half, so those are twelve to one,
- 5:24Speaker 2: but just full for the game eight to one. And
- 5:26Speaker 2: like we said yesterday, Prez, that used to be the
- 5:29Speaker 2: bet people used to bet that. People used to first
- 5:32Speaker 2: score the game. That was a big thing. Sportsbooks used
- 5:35Speaker 2: to get murdered on that day when it happened in
- 5:37Speaker 2: the Seattle Denver game was not a good result, so
- 5:41Speaker 2: you know you could start off the game first score
- 5:42Speaker 2: the game. You're down one hundred grand.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Guys, you're watching the best. Steve, do you have sharps?
- 5:48Speaker 4: I want to ask him if you ever had sharps
- 5:50Speaker 4: laying the one to fourteen, because that's actually probably the
- 5:53Speaker 4: better play there, Steve.
- 5:56Speaker 2: When they when the Sharps make a bet on that,
- 5:59Speaker 2: they lay it, they're going to because you're right, the
- 6:03Speaker 2: bet to me when it's that price is the no.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was just gonna ask you that. Art Like,
- 6:11Speaker 1: you know, way back when Muhammad Ali ruled, you know,
- 6:15Speaker 1: most of the wise guys were willing to lay minus
- 6:18Speaker 1: twelve hundred. Sorry, that was a thing. Man. How many
- 6:26Speaker 1: bets are you going to take at minus you know,
- 6:29Speaker 1: fourteen to one or whatever it is on that safety
- 6:32Speaker 1: because mathematically it's an incredible bet we'll.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Take I would say a handful. But the bets we're
- 6:41Speaker 2: gonna take on eight to one are going to be
- 6:43Speaker 2: public people, you know, Saturday and Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
- 6:47Speaker 2: Super Bowl week, ten bucks, twenty bucks, s thirty. You
- 6:50Speaker 2: know that's all that's gonna be. I mean, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 2: at that price, as we've mentioned over the last day
- 6:55Speaker 2: or two, there's not gonna be sharp guys coming in
- 6:57Speaker 2: and taking that. They're more apt to lay a big
- 6:59Speaker 2: no number. And yeah, you know when you're off, when
- 7:02Speaker 2: you're offering no's, you know you recognize that they're gonna
- 7:05Speaker 2: be guys. Now, that's why there are limits though. You know,
- 7:08Speaker 2: you can't come in and bet that to win one
- 7:09Speaker 2: hundred grand, right, you know, it's it's not like, hey,
- 7:13Speaker 2: give me give me the no on the safety for
- 7:14Speaker 2: a hundred grand, you know, to win one hundred grand,
- 7:16Speaker 2: it just doesn't work that way. You know you're gonna
- 7:18Speaker 2: get your couple of dimes and then we're gonna move
- 7:20Speaker 2: on from it.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I got the also the story art that came out
- 7:24Speaker 3: where good old mattress Mac is at it again. Apparently
- 7:27Speaker 3: he walks into Caesars and lays two million dollars on
- 7:33Speaker 3: the table for the AFC to win the Super Bowl.
- 7:36Speaker 3: He did it before the New England game against Denver.
- 7:40Speaker 3: The problem is correct me? If I'm wrong, isn't aren't
- 7:43Speaker 3: the Patriots minus a plus two hundred right now? So
- 7:48Speaker 3: where's the short? Yeah? Like that? Like what am I missing?
- 7:52Speaker 3: Like two to one prior to the Denver game and
- 7:56Speaker 3: now it's still two to one even afterwards. So what
- 7:58Speaker 3: the hell did he gain by betting two millionaire?
- 8:00Speaker 1: But what happened?
- 8:02Speaker 3: What's well, what's the process if a guy wants to
- 8:07Speaker 3: come in and lay two million dollars on a bet
- 8:09Speaker 3: like that? Art? What is the approval process there for
- 8:13Speaker 3: a book?
- 8:14Speaker 2: Well something like that? And obviously they take a two
- 8:17Speaker 2: million dollar bet on that because he's not a sharp guy.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I mean, you know it's done against mattress Back. I mean, sure,
- 8:23Speaker 2: he's a wonderful man, but you know he's not coming
- 8:26Speaker 2: down with some sort of edge. You know what I mean,
- 8:28Speaker 2: if he if he if he did have an edge,
- 8:30Speaker 2: they're not giving him two million dollars. But when you
- 8:32Speaker 2: get to an approval process like that with a big,
- 8:34Speaker 2: big bet, I mean, we always start with who's the
- 8:36Speaker 2: player who's making the bet? You know, is it someone
- 8:39Speaker 2: we have labeled sharp, is it someone we respect? Is
- 8:42Speaker 2: it someone listen super Bowl that Friday, Saturday and Saturday.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You get plenty of people come off the street that
- 8:48Speaker 2: when we say off the street, we've never seen. They
- 8:50Speaker 2: are new in our system. They are someone who's never
- 8:53Speaker 2: bet with us. So for the most part, we're just
- 8:55Speaker 2: going to give someone counter limits, give them, you know,
- 8:58Speaker 2: maybe one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars on the game,
- 9:01Speaker 2: something like that, because you know, we don't know who
- 9:04Speaker 2: that person is or who they're working for, all that
- 9:07Speaker 2: type of stuff. So you know, there's always a process
- 9:09Speaker 2: when it comes to figuring out who your customers are
- 9:12Speaker 2: and labeling them and trying to get you know, the
- 9:14Speaker 2: right money as we want, you know, we want general
- 9:17Speaker 2: public money. That's what we're looking for, right of course.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Real quick about that, because Joe I was think of
- 9:23Speaker 4: the same thing all right yesterday I was hoping to
- 9:25Speaker 4: talk to art about these big bets that coming on
- 9:27Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. It occurs to me like when these
- 9:29Speaker 4: books take like a million a seven figure bet, they
- 9:32Speaker 4: often do not adjust the lines to try to balance
- 9:35Speaker 4: the action because obviously they don't think it's a sharp play.
- 9:37Speaker 4: But doesn't it get to a point when you have
- 9:40Speaker 4: that much on like one play that you'd want to,
- 9:42Speaker 4: you know, skew the money line a little bit, try
- 9:43Speaker 4: to invite some balance action or do you just kind
- 9:45Speaker 4: of let it ride figuring that you've got a long
- 9:47Speaker 4: term edge.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I think obviously every book's going to be different.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I mean, the way we look at it, we have
- 9:53Speaker 2: plenty of house players who are very important to the casino,
- 9:57Speaker 2: on the craps table, the blackjack table, to roulette wheel,
- 10:01Speaker 2: things like that. So if they want to come down
- 10:04Speaker 2: and let's just take the Super Bowl out of it,
- 10:05Speaker 2: if they want to come down the weekend of the
- 10:07Speaker 2: Super One on a Saturday and maybe put twenty twenty
- 10:10Speaker 2: five grand out of college basketball game, which is outrageous.
- 10:13Speaker 2: You don't see that around town. I mean those are
- 10:15Speaker 2: not giving out. You know, college basketball limits are the
- 10:18Speaker 2: lowest for you know that sport. So we like to say, hey,
- 10:22Speaker 2: if you're a house player, you're good to the casino,
- 10:24Speaker 2: you're good to the book. We could take things like that,
- 10:26Speaker 2: and maybe a house player for the super Bowl will
- 10:28Speaker 2: extend them a little bit. Maybe, you know, if we're
- 10:30Speaker 2: taking one hundred grand, one hundred and fifty grand at
- 10:32Speaker 2: the counter, maybe we'll give that guy a quarter of
- 10:34Speaker 2: a million dollar at the counter. And then always too,
- 10:36Speaker 2: we can look at our position on the game. You know,
- 10:38Speaker 2: if they come in on a side that we need,
- 10:40Speaker 2: maybe we need a little bit of money, sure we'll
- 10:43Speaker 2: maybe extend that person a little bit. So obviously part
- 10:45Speaker 2: of being in risk management is always assessing those situations.
- 10:49Speaker 3: Or you leak it to the media so then the
- 10:51Speaker 3: public hears about it and immediately follows, Well, the guy's
- 10:55Speaker 3: got two million dollars, he must know what he's doing, right, Yeah,
- 10:59Speaker 3: of course.
- 11:00Speaker 4: Does he pull that cash out of the mattress when
- 11:02Speaker 4: he makes the bet?
- 11:03Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 11:03Speaker 4: Actually, that's that's a serious question. I mean, I guess
- 11:06Speaker 4: with like a table guy, they've got probably some kind
- 11:08Speaker 4: of like you know, credit limit in the cage or whatever.
- 11:11Speaker 4: But yeah, someone's coming off the streets that you haven't
- 11:13Speaker 4: seen that wants to bet two hundred thousand dollars on
- 11:15Speaker 4: the Super Bowl? Is that physical cash? I mean, that's
- 11:17Speaker 4: probably a process in itself.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It's definitely a process in itself. I mean, listen, you know,
- 11:22Speaker 2: obviously super Bowl week a lot of cash is flying
- 11:24Speaker 2: around that is down, So you definitely get people coming
- 11:28Speaker 2: off the street with fifty grand, one hundred grand and cash.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Now there are people too who will wire money in
- 11:33Speaker 2: the cage sometimes if people don't feel comfortable walking money
- 11:37Speaker 2: down in the sportsbook and listen, you'll always get a
- 11:39Speaker 2: security escort. But you know, some people just bring chips down.
- 11:43Speaker 2: You know. Obviously we're not in the business of like
- 11:45Speaker 2: taking a check or doing anything like that, so there
- 11:48Speaker 2: are ways we figure it out. But yeah, I mean
- 11:50Speaker 2: that that's something that definitely happens where people wire money
- 11:53Speaker 2: into the cage and then that person can figure out
- 11:55Speaker 2: if they want to bring cash down or chips down
- 11:57Speaker 2: or you know, split it because maybe they're gonna go
- 11:59Speaker 2: play on the table a little bit. So yeah, that's
- 12:02Speaker 2: definitely a process, but actually a process that we don't
- 12:04Speaker 2: handle that much, Steve. That's more done by you know,
- 12:06Speaker 2: the cage and all those people.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Guys.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Let's keep the show moving. Not easy hosting a show
- 12:12Speaker 1: with two and a half alpha males, that's for sure.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I figured you'd get that. We do have
- 12:23Speaker 1: figured it out. So there are there are fives out
- 12:27Speaker 1: there now on Seattle and money coming in on the under.
- 12:30Speaker 1: We got forty fives out there. We hit our parlay
- 12:33Speaker 1: of the day yesterday. Everyone. It was an easy, easy victory.
- 12:38Speaker 1: We got lots of show left right, let's stay with you,
- 12:42Speaker 1: line moves, sharp bets. What do you got for us?
- 12:45Speaker 1: In NBA, college basketball and NHL today?
- 12:51Speaker 2: Absolutely a run down a press anyte Really. The only
- 12:53Speaker 2: thing to talk about is the Penguins are as high
- 12:56Speaker 2: as minus one eighty on the overnight line, and now
- 12:59Speaker 2: they are minus one sixty. So money has come in
- 13:01Speaker 2: on the Blackhawks, you know, plus one sixty five now
- 13:04Speaker 2: down to plus one fifty five. NBA, we saw the
- 13:07Speaker 2: Heat as a overnight dog. They were getting one. They're
- 13:11Speaker 2: now laying two. That's at Chicago under the Heat Nuggets
- 13:15Speaker 2: game or I'm sorry, the Nets Nuggets game minus two
- 13:18Speaker 2: eleven and a half now two to nine and a
- 13:19Speaker 2: half and a couple. In college basketball Wawford, they took
- 13:24Speaker 2: pick now minus two. They laid one and a half
- 13:26Speaker 2: with Georgia State now two and a half, and they
- 13:29Speaker 2: laid two with the Citadel now minus three and a half.
- 13:35Speaker 3: All right, well we got it. I mean it's a
- 13:37Speaker 3: huge card in the NHL tonight, right, decent card in
- 13:41Speaker 3: the NBA. And what do we got? I think it's
- 13:44Speaker 3: mid major Thursday, right, not a ton of big, big
- 13:48Speaker 3: games there in with a lot of the blue bloods. Anyway,
- 13:52Speaker 3: here tonight in college basketball, how did you guys do art?
- 13:56Speaker 3: By the way with UFC last week? Because the numbers
- 14:00Speaker 3: threw the roof from a viewing perspective, a shocker when
- 14:03Speaker 3: you're only charging nine dollars for somebody actually watch it
- 14:07Speaker 3: as opposed to ninety nine, How did you did you
- 14:10Speaker 3: get any whole bunch of money? Because I would imagine
- 14:13Speaker 3: Patty the Battie losing was pretty good for the folks there.
- 14:17Speaker 2: No, Yeah, And you know we had talked about it, Joe,
- 14:21Speaker 2: when I think on the Friday Show that now that
- 14:24Speaker 2: this is going to be free and we're able to
- 14:26Speaker 2: show the you know, the whole card. You know, we
- 14:29Speaker 2: used to show the prelimbs and then have to cut
- 14:30Speaker 2: it off and people would moan and grow now. Actually,
- 14:33Speaker 2: we promote in the book like, hey, coming on Saturday,
- 14:36Speaker 2: we have UFC, whatever the number is. You know, I
- 14:38Speaker 2: don't even know what the numbers are anymore.
- 14:42Speaker 3: It is.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Right, yeah, exactly, So we're able to promote that stuff now.
- 14:48Speaker 2: And listen, I don't work nights on more of a
- 14:50Speaker 2: morning guy, but I heard that the turnout was really
- 14:52Speaker 2: great Saturday night, and that's just going to continue. And
- 14:55Speaker 2: the handle has always been good for UFC, even with
- 14:58Speaker 2: us not being able to show a lot of the
- 15:01Speaker 2: pay per view cards. That is the sport that I've
- 15:02Speaker 2: seen in my ten years in the sports books grow
- 15:05Speaker 2: so much. I mean, you know, it's not my particular
- 15:08Speaker 2: brand of aoka, but you know, I get it. We've
- 15:11Speaker 2: read a lot of money on that stuff. And you know,
- 15:13Speaker 2: I gave out some of the sharp stuff last week,
- 15:15Speaker 2: and I know people in the comments were really happy
- 15:18Speaker 2: to see us giving out some UFC information. So I'm
- 15:21Speaker 2: gonna try to do that as much as I can
- 15:22Speaker 2: moving forward.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Excellent, And I want to talk Olympics at some point
- 15:27Speaker 1: with you Art obviously with the super Bowl comming, but
- 15:30Speaker 1: I mean the Olympics are right around the corner. They
- 15:33Speaker 1: basically start the week of the Super Bowl. I gotta
- 15:37Speaker 1: believe there's gonna be bets made. But the timing of it,
- 15:41Speaker 1: I mean, you guys can't be sitting there with the
- 15:44Speaker 1: Super Bowl going, oh, what are we gonna do do
- 15:46Speaker 1: Olympic wise?
- 15:49Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know, pres I know a couple
- 15:51Speaker 2: of weeks ago we talked about it. You're right, the
- 15:52Speaker 2: timing is not great, but you're right. We will receive
- 15:55Speaker 2: bets and listen if I ever see anything or anything
- 15:58Speaker 2: of note or oh wow, there was you know major
- 16:00Speaker 2: wager here, or you got a little liability here, of course,
- 16:03Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it out there and I'll try to
- 16:05Speaker 2: do a little bit more Olympic research and trying to
- 16:08Speaker 2: give out some information on that.
- 16:10Speaker 1: God, I haven't heard the term major wager in a
- 16:12Speaker 1: long time. Steve Merrill, remember major wager?
- 16:15Speaker 3: Wow, I wouldn't know that you say it.
- 16:19Speaker 1: I don't remember that.
- 16:20Speaker 4: That did sound familiar though, Major That's a great.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It was a huge forum back in the day called
- 16:27Speaker 1: Major Wager. I try to remember the name of the owner,
- 16:32Speaker 1: and they were competitors with the Prescription, which was Ken. Anyway,
- 16:36Speaker 1: great show, guys, We've still got our party of the
- 16:39Speaker 1: day coming up, all of the rundowns. We got best

- 16:46Speaker 1: our channel list. Is the best betting show ever. Let's
- 16:51Speaker 1: keep it moving, Joe. Steve is writing in slack that
- 16:55Speaker 1: he can't see any of us. He just wants to
- 16:57Speaker 1: make sure we're actually recording the show correctly. I'll take
- 17:01Speaker 1: I'll take care of He's got you, Steve, You're doing
- 17:04Speaker 1: the job.
- 17:06Speaker 4: I just want to make sure I'm on the camera
- 17:08Speaker 4: the entire time for those that aren't on my back end,
- 17:14Speaker 4: and plug in the press clip when needed. That for
- 17:17Speaker 4: the last five minutes, all I've seen is myself whole screen.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I didn't know if it was the Steve Merrill Show
- 17:22Speaker 4: with everybody else dubbed in.
- 17:24Speaker 1: That's you guys. When you go full screen, they don't
- 17:31Speaker 1: stop talking until the producer pulls it away from the screen.
- 17:37Speaker 1: They don't seem to realize it's supposed to work in reverse. Anyway.
- 17:42Speaker 1: We hit our parlay of the day, Steve. It was
- 17:44Speaker 1: a three teamer yesterday it was easy. Now we got
- 17:46Speaker 1: a four teamer. We're going to suggest round robins, two
- 17:49Speaker 1: threes and fours. Uh, let's continue with the sweep. Yeah,
- 17:54Speaker 1: let's get the bruin Brune. Then Steve will go off. Yeah,
- 18:01Speaker 1: let's go Steve.
- 18:04Speaker 4: So there's an angle I've been using a lot in
- 18:06Speaker 4: college hoops. I've been getting a lot of these over
- 18:07Speaker 4: unders out free. I'll break this down more of the
- 18:09Speaker 4: best bet as well. But I like the under in
- 18:12Speaker 4: the NC Wilmington twosand game tonight, and I disagree with
- 18:15Speaker 4: the money move on this one. It's it's actually risen
- 18:17Speaker 4: a little bit higher. I think it's currently around one
- 18:20Speaker 4: thirty three. Let me see where it's currently standing here
- 18:23Speaker 4: among all these mid major games tonight. My goodness, it's
- 18:27Speaker 4: the under. Why can't I find it? One thirty three?
- 18:31Speaker 4: One thirty three and a half. I think it's the
- 18:33Speaker 4: current number tells in UNC Wilmington under the total.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Ooh okay, Art, yeah, Steve a game. I disagree with
- 18:42Speaker 2: the money move too. I'm gonna get the Avalanche on
- 18:45Speaker 2: the road. They were as high as like one thirty
- 18:47Speaker 2: one thirty five on the overnight. Now I'm laying one
- 18:49Speaker 2: twenty in Montreal. Give me the Avalanche.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Yeah, so Joe, I was going to give out the Avalanche,
- 18:56Speaker 1: so I will save that for my best bet section.
- 19:00Speaker 1: But I agree a thousand percent with you there, Art,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'll take okay, Joe, regulation.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Oh all right, I couldn't. They are you know from
- 19:22Speaker 3: the money list.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Put them on the money line. You don't need to
- 19:25Speaker 1: take one rag minus one eighty.
- 19:28Speaker 3: That's even worse, unreal. I mean, that's just a gross
- 19:33Speaker 3: on so many different.
- 19:34Speaker 2: We put them on a list list.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Three days ago.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Yes, they were on the hell no list app never again.
- 19:44Speaker 3: In the parley of the Edmonton single handedly Meryl for
- 19:48Speaker 3: two weeks destroyed every one of our bets because they
- 19:53Speaker 3: kept taking them and they just could not win. But
- 19:55Speaker 3: apparently they are off the list, and we're going the.
- 19:59Speaker 1: One last time for knife, so they're on a six.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Yes, all right.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Well, falling knife hits that first time, it often bounces
- 20:11Speaker 4: back up and cuts you. It needs the bottom, It
- 20:13Speaker 4: needs to have a bottoming process. That Yes, yeah, we'll see.
- 20:16Speaker 4: I don't follow you NHL like I used to, but
- 20:18Speaker 4: I thought the oilers are pretty good a couple of
- 20:20Speaker 4: years ago, last I remember. So I'm surprised to hear this.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Joe, what's good?
- 20:24Speaker 3: They were not good? All right? Since you guys are
- 20:27Speaker 3: all going uh with the shaw, give me the Atlanta
- 20:32Speaker 3: Hawks on the money line tonight to win at home
- 20:36Speaker 3: against the Houston.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Rock And that is our parlay of the day. Art
- 20:42Speaker 1: the Caesar dude. Thanks for doing this. Man, We're gonna
- 20:46Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. Just remember everybody, Steve Merrill will be

- 21:27Speaker 2: it settle, you know, a couple of days here, and
- 21:29Speaker 2: then we'll be rocking and rolling with that beautiful stuff.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Okay, here's how this is going down. We got to
- 21:35Speaker 1: take care of some business. Then we've got our best bets,
- 21:39Speaker 1: and then Joe's NBA Rundown, my NHL rundown, and Steve
- 21:43Speaker 1: Merrill's college basketball rundown. Joe, it's time with some business, baby, Steve,
- 21:49Speaker 1: why don't you start.
- 21:51Speaker 4: I'm mesmerized. I understand I'm gonna do the college basketball
- 21:57Speaker 4: run down here at the end of the show. Look
- 21:58Speaker 4: at some of the non major there's all like three
- 22:01Speaker 4: or four like non mid major games. I'll break those
- 22:03Speaker 4: down real quick. But I do have several NBA best bets,
- 22:05Speaker 4: and I don't forget number one all time in the NBA.

- 22:39Speaker 1: I'm rolling so different. I'm no different, Steve. I'm rolling
- 22:44Speaker 1: in hoops right now. Won my NBA last night. That's
- 22:48Speaker 1: three days in a row of NBA winners. I lost
- 22:51Speaker 1: my college basketball last night, but I'm on a nine
- 22:54Speaker 1: and one run in college basketball. I'm up profit in
- 22:58Speaker 1: college basketball, and I got one college hoops play tonight.
- 23:02Speaker 1: One NBA played tonight, and I got a four pack
- 23:06Speaker 1: of NHL, which is about as rare as it gets
- 23:09Speaker 1: for me. So that's what I got going, Joe.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Oh, I got a lot of things going here, namely
- 23:16Speaker 3: Steve Merrill's graphic. But hold on one second here, because
- 23:19Speaker 3: I got that all situated there. Two hit that first
- 23:23Speaker 3: five percent college basketball night last night, and coming back,
- 23:27Speaker 3: I got actually two games here tonight that I really
- 23:31Speaker 3: really like to follow up with. They are locked and
- 23:33Speaker 3: loaded over at wag or Talk dot com. And we
- 23:37Speaker 3: also had the San Antonio Spurs last night. They ended
- 23:41Speaker 3: up getting it done against those Rockets, so we got
- 23:43Speaker 3: one more NBA game here tonight.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Chriz, Well, there we go. Okay, So Joe, before we
- 23:49Speaker 1: get into our best bets, how much gel do you
- 23:53Speaker 1: use in your in what in myir like, nothing ever
- 24:00Speaker 1: removes in your hair.
- 24:02Speaker 3: I know, because it's hair and it's not thin like
- 24:06Speaker 3: it's like the hair you use.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Dude, you use more hair gel than anyone I've ever
- 24:12Speaker 1: seen seen in my life. That's that's what I'm going on.
- 24:15Speaker 3: You are are more concerned with men's hair gel than
- 24:19Speaker 3: you should be. I'm just I'm saying, Meryl, you catching
- 24:22Speaker 3: a theme there. It just it feels like whatever.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take what I can get.
- 24:30Speaker 3: That kind of feels like that's whatever.
- 24:33Speaker 4: I will say this though, Joe, I listened to press
- 24:36Speaker 4: because he's the only human being who's photo from last
- 24:38Speaker 4: year looks older than he looks now. So he's doing
- 24:40Speaker 4: something right. Yeah, he is doing something right. So we
- 24:43Speaker 4: should take advice.
- 24:44Speaker 3: We should take advice. Yeah, come on, Joe, you know
- 24:49Speaker 3: this is just awful on so many levels. Guys, I
- 24:52Speaker 3: can't even begin to tell you. I'm just going back.
- 24:54Speaker 1: The only reason I asked that Vivian wanted to know
- 24:57Speaker 1: over this again.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Nice under the bus.
- 25:05Speaker 1: To say with Celeste. Celeste was like, how much hair
- 25:10Speaker 1: gel does Joe use? Celestis to all the women, all
- 25:20Speaker 1: the women want to know. Okay, Today's best bets I'll
- 25:25Speaker 1: start first. So, so, guys, long story short, I really
- 25:31Speaker 1: like the Colorado Avalanche night. This is a client play,
- 25:34Speaker 1: and look, I'll break this down real simple here. Firstly,
- 25:38Speaker 1: they're the best team in the league by far. They
- 25:40Speaker 1: are historically good. That's how good they are. Thirty five
- 25:46Speaker 1: seven and nine on the season. They are coming off
- 25:49Speaker 1: of their worst game of the entire year by far.
- 25:53Speaker 1: So to give you perspective, in their last ten games,
- 25:58Speaker 1: and I'm going to start from game ten thirty three shots,
- 26:01Speaker 1: thirty four shots, thirty one, thirty four, forty three, forty four,
- 26:06Speaker 1: forty one, thirty five, thirty seven last night eighteen, So
- 26:13Speaker 1: we're talking about horrible analytics. The Pazzette puck possession was off,
- 26:20Speaker 1: the offensive zone was off, the shots were off. They
- 26:24Speaker 1: allowed five goals and they held Ottawa to twenty one shots,
- 26:30Speaker 1: so puck luck was off. Goaltender played bad. The worst
- 26:36Speaker 1: game of the season for the Colorado Avalanche. They are
- 26:39Speaker 1: too good to have two games that bad back to back,
- 26:44Speaker 1: and they have Montreal who are about to go on
- 26:47Speaker 1: a little bit of a decline. I absolutely love Colorado tonight. Steve.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I mentioned that under earlier in the Wilmington game,
- 27:00Speaker 4: it's one thirty three and a half one thirty four.
- 27:01Speaker 4: We'll use that for the parlay. So I'll give you
- 27:03Speaker 4: a different CAAA game tonight. And whenever we get a
- 27:07Speaker 4: bad team coming off a couple of good efforts, we
- 27:09Speaker 4: always look to see if something's changed, and that's the
- 27:11Speaker 4: case with North Carolina A and T. I rate them
- 27:12Speaker 4: as the worst team out of all thirteen in the Colonial.
- 27:15Speaker 4: But they upset a good Hofster team, and then they
- 27:18Speaker 4: upset a good Talsand team at home back to back
- 27:21Speaker 4: last Thursday Saturday. I think they come back down to
- 27:24Speaker 4: earth on this road trip. They're at Mommoth tonight on Thursday,
- 27:27Speaker 4: They're at Drexel on Saturday. Currently about an eight and
- 27:30Speaker 4: a half to nine point dog. I like Mammoth in
- 27:32Speaker 4: this spot tonight, and Mammoth has taken care of business
- 27:36Speaker 4: at home this season. They beat Northeastern by thirteen, they
- 27:39Speaker 4: beat a good Woman Mary team by eleven, and they
- 27:42Speaker 4: beat Thowsand on the road right before that by fourteen.
- 27:45Speaker 4: I see a double digit win here by Mammoth, and
- 27:47Speaker 4: I'm never afraid to fade a bad team after a
- 27:49Speaker 4: couple underdog wins. I don't think anything's changed for ant.
- 27:52Speaker 4: Look at Mammoth minus nine tonight.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Joe, all right, I'll go to the association tonight and
- 27:59Speaker 3: it iss, it is disgusting. I want you all to
- 28:02Speaker 3: hold your nose and back to Washington Wizards at home
- 28:07Speaker 3: as they welcome into the Milwaukee Bucks. And yes, I
- 28:11Speaker 3: know there's probably not a lot of people running right
- 28:13Speaker 3: now to go, oh my, what the Wizards are are getting?
- 28:17Speaker 3: Yes they are, and they absolutely the Milwaukee Bucks should
- 28:20Speaker 3: not be laying points against anybody right now. Not to mention,
- 28:26Speaker 3: they're all looking around this locker room right now trying
- 28:28Speaker 3: to figure out who's actually going to be there in
- 28:31Speaker 3: another couple of weeks. Is Giannis is essentially he's done,
- 28:36Speaker 3: he is leaving. He is they are trying to trade him,
- 28:39Speaker 3: and that means they're going to hit the reset button.
- 28:41Speaker 3: So a ton of dysfunction right now, Milwaukee. And I
- 28:44Speaker 3: like this Wizard's team, a ton of great young talent here.
- 28:48Speaker 3: They're very young, but they're learning how to play together.
- 28:51Speaker 3: And listen, they've been pretty good against the number here
- 28:54Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks. So I'll take the
- 28:57Speaker 3: points with the home dog against a Bucks team team
- 29:00Speaker 3: that will likely look totally different in another month.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Here, Press yeah, Joe, I don't I mean the words
- 29:07Speaker 1: that came out of your mouth. Let me recap. I
- 29:10Speaker 1: like this Wizard's team. I don't think anyone's ever said that.
- 29:14Speaker 3: No, it's new, Yes, it's new, but yes, especially against yeah,
- 29:17Speaker 3: absolutely against the Bucks. I like them a lot.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah, Well, I'm going to go out and lim
- 29:23Speaker 1: and say that they will not be winning the NBA
- 29:25Speaker 1: Championship this year.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Maybe the ping pong balls they'll win. They might have
- 29:31Speaker 3: another opportunity at a pretty good draft pick, but I'll.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Take Gianni's over in Toronto, that's for sure.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Oh no, great, No, I'm not leaving Milwaukee to go
- 29:39Speaker 3: to Toronto. That's again, No.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Nobody would no. Yeah, Okay, NBA rundown, Joseph, you're out Ford?
- 29:47Speaker 3: Is that me?
- 29:47Speaker 1: Now?
- 29:48Speaker 3: I got to go back to this now, All right,
- 29:49Speaker 3: here we go press back. Let's go back to back
- 29:53Speaker 3: right now, and we are going to start with that
- 29:56Speaker 3: game that we just talked about. In fact, right, So,
- 29:58Speaker 3: we've got a situation here where the Wizards and the Bucks.
- 30:02Speaker 3: You guys know my feelings on this one, and let's
- 30:04Speaker 3: face it, it's gonna be It's gonna hurt here tonight.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Don't eat dinner and watch that game. But if you
- 30:11Speaker 3: really want to throw up, watch the Kings play basketball,
- 30:14Speaker 3: because they're taking on to seventy six ers at the
- 30:17Speaker 3: Infinity Mobile Arena here tonight. Eleven and a half. Twelve
- 30:20Speaker 3: and a half right now is what the Sixers are laying.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Boy it try. It is tough rather to trust the
- 30:27Speaker 3: Sixers laying that kind of number. Something tells me, though,
- 30:30Speaker 3: two thirty two thirty and a half might be a
- 30:32Speaker 3: little bit low in this one. I gave you the
- 30:35Speaker 3: Hawks earlier against the Rockets. Both of these teams played
- 30:38Speaker 3: last night, second of a back to back for both,
- 30:41Speaker 3: but the Hawks sandal business against the Celtics. The Rockets
- 30:45Speaker 3: were at home, couldn't get it done against San Antonio.
- 30:48Speaker 3: I like the Hawks here tonight. They're getting three and
- 30:50Speaker 3: a half right now. I think they have finally figured
- 30:53Speaker 3: some things out, Like them at home against a Rockets
- 30:57Speaker 3: team that's got to be scratching their heads. So the
- 31:00Speaker 3: heating the Bulls are making up that game they couldn't
- 31:02Speaker 3: play the other night because somebody turned the air conditioning
- 31:05Speaker 3: on or didn't, and they couldn't get the water on
- 31:07Speaker 3: the whole thing was weird. But now, of course both
- 31:11Speaker 3: of these teams second of a back to back. Right now,
- 31:14Speaker 3: he got destroyed last night by Orlando U and now
- 31:19Speaker 3: the Bulls couldn't get it done last night either against
- 31:22Speaker 3: the Pacers. But they are home. Feels like a good
- 31:26Speaker 3: under spot here tonight at the United Center. I like
- 31:29Speaker 3: the Hornets over the MAVs. I do think the Nets. Yeah,
- 31:33Speaker 3: they're terrible, but look at this total guys two nine,
- 31:36Speaker 3: two nine and a half against the Nuggets, and quite honestly,
- 31:40Speaker 3: a team total under for Brooklyn might be the way
- 31:43Speaker 3: to go. I think the Suns keep it competitive against
- 31:45Speaker 3: the Pistons, and I can't trust Oka see laying points anymore.
- 31:51Speaker 3: I won't repeat after me. I won't trust them, Prez,
- 31:54Speaker 3: I won't trust them.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Okay, Joe, thanks well for now. We got thirty NHL
- 32:02Speaker 1: games in play, fifteen games in total. Let's get right
- 32:06Speaker 1: to it. We got two minutes to go through them all.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Pittsburgh hosting Chicago. I like the over in this game
- 32:12Speaker 1: if you can get six. I like Pittsburgh in regulation
- 32:16Speaker 1: as well, but I prefer the over. Winnipeg playing Tampa Bay.
- 32:20Speaker 1: I like the under in this game. It is five
- 32:23Speaker 1: and a half LA going into Buffalo. I don't love
- 32:27Speaker 1: the spot for Buffalo. I just don't want to bet
- 32:31Speaker 1: against them right now. This game is a pass for me.
- 32:36Speaker 1: I like Carolina in regulation. They're hosting Utah tonight. That's
- 32:40Speaker 1: one of my favorite plays on the board. I think
- 32:42Speaker 1: Utah is exceptional, but this is game number three in
- 32:46Speaker 1: four nights. I think this Utah team comes entired. I
- 32:50Speaker 1: like New Jersey against Nashville. I think New Jersey's a
- 32:53Speaker 1: bet on team moving forward. I love Colorado against Montreal.
- 32:57Speaker 1: We spoke about that already. Philadelphia playing Boston tonight. Philadelphia
- 33:03Speaker 1: is an ad team for me moving forward, and I'm
- 33:06Speaker 1: starting to believe in the Bruins minus one thirty. Take Boston.
- 33:10Speaker 1: We're going right back with the Islanders again tonight. We
- 33:14Speaker 1: gave them out yesterday. They're on a back to back
- 33:17Speaker 1: against the exact same team. The Rangers are done. The
- 33:21Speaker 1: bread Man will be traded in the next few days.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Take the Islanders Washington playing Detroit. All the metrics suggests
- 33:31Speaker 1: that this game is gonna go over the total. I agree.
- 33:34Speaker 1: I also like Detroit at minus one twenty. Super short
- 33:39Speaker 1: line or a Detroit team that is really better than
- 33:42Speaker 1: Washington in almost every category. Calgary playing Minnesota. I look
- 33:47Speaker 1: at the under in this game. You can get sixes
- 33:51Speaker 1: out there. I like Edmonton against San Jose, and if
- 33:54Speaker 1: you can get a six and a half, I like
- 33:55Speaker 1: the over. I like the over in the Toronto game
- 33:59Speaker 1: if you can you can get a six. I don't
- 34:01Speaker 1: like it if you can get a six and a half.
- 34:04Speaker 1: I also like Toronto only because I'm not going to
- 34:07Speaker 1: bet them tonight, so they're going to win. I like
- 34:10Speaker 1: the over in the Vegas Dallas game, and I like
- 34:14Speaker 1: Vancouver slightly, but I'm moving away from the Canucks. That's it.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Steve Merrill, you're the waight.
- 34:21Speaker 3: What happened about the Panthers and the Blues? What happened?
- 34:24Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't care about the Florida.
- 34:26Speaker 3: There you go, all right, I mean that's just rude. Price,
- 34:29Speaker 3: that's just rude.
- 34:31Speaker 1: I think that plays the under in that game.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Show there you go? Perfect anything else?
- 34:37Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, No, that's it. I can't believe I've forgote
- 34:40Speaker 1: a game. Steve Merrill's college basketball.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Now, there you go.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Yeah, so we got a lot of mid major games tonight,
- 34:46Speaker 4: but I'm gonna look at some of the more spotlight games.
- 34:47Speaker 4: There's actually four really good national TV games. Start at
- 34:50Speaker 4: seven o'clock eastern. We've got Colorado against Iowa State. Colorado
- 34:54Speaker 4: is struggling this season, but they've played some really tough
- 34:57Speaker 4: opponents and it does not get much easier. As I
- 35:00Speaker 4: have Iowa stated as a top ten talent team this year.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Linzelt steady at seventeen and a half. Couple eighteens starting
- 35:06Speaker 4: to show. We have seen some money on the under
- 35:08Speaker 4: in this game, though, down from one to fifty six,
- 35:10Speaker 4: down to one to fifty three and a half. Iowa
- 35:11Speaker 4: State one of the best three point shooting teams in
- 35:13Speaker 4: the country, hitting over forty percent from beyond the arc,
- 35:17Speaker 4: and Colorado has one of the worst three point defenses.
- 35:19Speaker 4: So if you're going to play it, I could definitely
- 35:21Speaker 4: see landa those three pointers are falling tonight in Ames Iowa.
- 35:25Speaker 4: That's at seven eastern. Fox Sports one. Eight o'clock on
- 35:28Speaker 4: the deuce, ESPN two, we've got Florida Atlantic Memphis sneaky
- 35:31Speaker 4: good game here, both teams coming in off a loss.
- 35:34Speaker 4: We have seen some sharp money on the over in
- 35:36Speaker 4: this game here this point, this total going up several
- 35:39Speaker 4: points today and currently as of late morning, that's up
- 35:42Speaker 4: to about one fifty one and a half one to
- 35:43Speaker 4: fifty two from an oprah of one to fifty eight.
- 35:45Speaker 4: And I can see why both teams played a fast
- 35:48Speaker 4: paced Florida Atlantic, one of the fastest teams in the
- 35:50Speaker 4: country this season, so should be an up and down game,
- 35:54Speaker 4: and once again, three point shots will probably determine if
- 35:56Speaker 4: it gets up and over, but the sharp money does
- 35:58Speaker 4: like the over in the Florida Atlantic of this game.
- 36:00Speaker 4: Also at eight Eastern on Peacock, we've got Penn State
- 36:03Speaker 4: in Northwestern, two teams that are struggling one in eight
- 36:07Speaker 4: and Penn State's zero to nine and conference play. These
- 36:09Speaker 4: two teams are combined one for seventeen in Big Ten action.
- 36:13Speaker 4: Normally they don't lay points with a bad team. Northwestern
- 36:16Speaker 4: open to eight, it's down to seven and a half,
- 36:17Speaker 4: but I think Northwestern is the better team. It's hard
- 36:19Speaker 4: to trust Penn State, they're in a free fall, and
- 36:22Speaker 4: Northwestern really ranks is the better offense and defense in
- 36:25Speaker 4: this game. And what jumps out to me the two
- 36:26Speaker 4: teams are combined one and seventeen straight up, but they're
- 36:29Speaker 4: both top twenty with fewest turnover percentage in the country.
- 36:32Speaker 4: In fact, Northwestern the second best least turnover offense in
- 36:36Speaker 4: the nation and they're still one in eight. That's hard
- 36:38Speaker 4: to figure out, but someone's got to win that ugly
- 36:40Speaker 4: matchup on Peacock and then finally at nine Eastern on
- 36:43Speaker 4: Fox Sports One, probably the best game of the night.
- 36:45Speaker 4: Two of the best teams on the board tonight Washington
- 36:48Speaker 4: at Illinois and Alion night with their second best player overall.
- 36:52Speaker 4: Belment's been out now, he's got a hand injury. He's
- 36:54Speaker 4: out for the foreseeable future. Boswell rather Kyl and Boswell.
- 36:59Speaker 4: But this is still right the number one offensive efficiency
- 37:01Speaker 4: team in the nation, and even without Boswell the last
- 37:04Speaker 4: two games, Illinois has still gotten it done with back
- 37:06Speaker 4: to back wins. They also rank as a slightly better
- 37:09Speaker 4: defensive team. In this game against Washington, we'll see if
- 37:12Speaker 4: it's an over adjustment based on the injury situation. As
- 37:16Speaker 4: Illinois opened twelve, it's now twelve and a half. Tutles
- 37:19Speaker 4: held SETIA one fifty three. We've seen very little movement
- 37:21Speaker 4: on this game, but Illinois is a solid team. I
- 37:24Speaker 4: ranked them as probably a number two seed right now,
- 37:26Speaker 4: but this will be one of their recent tougher tests
- 37:28Speaker 4: against Washington, who I are also ranked as a top
- 37:31Speaker 4: fifty team. I think that's the best game of the
- 37:33Speaker 4: night tonight at nine Eastern on Fox Sports One.
- 37:35Speaker 3: There you go.
- 37:35Speaker 4: That's your college basketball breakdown. Don't forget. I will have
- 37:38Speaker 4: a free play this afternoon on my page and also
- 37:40Speaker 4: maybe some free bonus videos here on wager Talk TV
- 37:44Speaker 4: throughout the week for hoops. Steve merrillwager Talk dot Com,
- 37:47Speaker 4: WT dot Buzz slash sm Steve Merril.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Everybody, guys, we're going straight into the mailbox really quick.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Yesterday I told you guys, we spoke about how Canadian
- 37:59Speaker 1: teams are never going to win anything, or you know,
- 38:02Speaker 1: the only country in the world that has teams that
- 38:05Speaker 1: play in the American market another country's market. Well, anyway,
- 38:10Speaker 1: I was wrong. Derek Murphy eight three five zero lots
- 38:15Speaker 1: of love, d mister DM. Okay. He points out that
- 38:22Speaker 1: Auckland has the Auckland Football Club plays in the Australian
- 38:29Speaker 1: A League and they won it last year. So there
- 38:34Speaker 1: is an example of a team from a much smaller
- 38:37Speaker 1: country playing in a league in another country, just like
- 38:41Speaker 1: all the Canadian teams face. So I was wrong. There
- 38:46Speaker 1: is another country that has you know what I'm saying
- 38:49Speaker 1: other than that, Joe.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Every I thought you said Oakland, And then is Auckland
- 38:55Speaker 4: not in Australia. I don't know where Auckland is. Is
- 38:57Speaker 4: it New Zealand or.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems very American of you.
- 39:00Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yeah, it just you really don't know where
- 39:07Speaker 5: Auckland is, Like legitimately, you know what, why would capital
- 39:11Speaker 5: of New Zealand?
- 39:12Speaker 3: I thought he's in Auckland. But then I realized he
- 39:15Speaker 3: didn't say it correctly.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Oh no, I did not know. I say, I said
- 39:19Speaker 4: New Zealand. I did not know it was the capital
- 39:21Speaker 4: of New Zealand. I did know Van Buren was.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Actually I think Wellington might be the capitol the biggest
- 39:26Speaker 1: city in New Zealand, which is insane much but yes, no,
- 39:31Speaker 1: But the point I'm making is there is an example
- 39:34Speaker 1: of a team from a from a small country playing
- 39:38Speaker 1: in a league in another country, which is what the
- 39:41Speaker 1: Canadian teams faced Steve.
- 39:45Speaker 4: In Australia.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of what I thought.
- 39:47Speaker 1: It was a New Zealand in Australia.
- 39:50Speaker 3: It's kind of closed.
- 39:51Speaker 1: We need to end the show boys.
- 39:54Speaker 3: The mail bag. I don't know what the hell you're doing.
- 39:55Speaker 4: Which country did the Tasmanian deuvile living?
- 39:57Speaker 3: That was Australia, right.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Yes, has Mania. That's the bottom of Australia.
- 40:03Speaker 3: That's sure that.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Most of the viewers out there. No, I'm well aware
- 40:08Speaker 4: that New Zealand is a separate country. I don't need
- 40:09Speaker 4: people mail bagging me about not knowing my geography, my geography.
- 40:14Speaker 4: I know my geography.
- 40:16Speaker 3: You know the capital, and you're out of here giving him,
- 40:20Speaker 3: giving him props or his American history as a Canadian
- 40:23Speaker 3: there and he didn't have any idea who's on Mount Rushmore,
- 40:26Speaker 3: no idea?
- 40:27Speaker 1: Who said I didn't know who? I said, I didn't
- 40:29Speaker 1: know where it was.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Well, who's on it? Who's on it?
- 40:33Speaker 1: You got?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Uh?
- 40:35Speaker 1: I told you you got Obama.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Myra, Celesti, Celestial.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Martin van Buren, Yes, and Justin Trudeau.
- 40:55Speaker 3: That's correct.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Yes, back as Trudeau facing Canada, he's on the back
- 41:00Speaker 4: side of Mount Rushman facing the border.
- 41:02Speaker 3: That's correct.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Yeah, No, but it's got who Teddy rosel Teddy Rose
- 41:09Speaker 1: Lincoln who Roosevelt was on.
- 41:13Speaker 3: There as well?
- 41:13Speaker 4: Merrill I told I told you the other day, I
- 41:20Speaker 4: don't ever got that clue.
- 41:21Speaker 1: For sure. Roosevelt is on it, right.
- 41:27Speaker 4: Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt is, but he's like the least obvious,
- 41:29Speaker 4: to be honest, of the four, he's probably the least
- 41:31Speaker 4: famous of the four presidents. You're missing the most obvious one.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I think you got the other three. You're missing the
- 41:36Speaker 4: most obvious.
- 41:38Speaker 1: George W. Mike, Yes kidding, George Washington, Lincoln.
- 41:45Speaker 3: George W. I took correct the press, the President. Yes,
- 41:51Speaker 3: he's up there, Presmond and Ranieri. I just lost IQ points.
- 41:56Speaker 4: We got to get to the real serious mail bag
- 41:58Speaker 4: question that sent you all the other day. One of
- 41:59Speaker 4: the few wants us to do a nonsports, non betting
- 42:02Speaker 4: show once a week. We need to know if their
- 42:04Speaker 4: support for this. We need to know if their support
- 42:06Speaker 4: for this. Yes, so mailbag away over the next couple
- 42:08Speaker 4: of days.
- 42:09Speaker 1: That's correct, Yes, yeah, oh, Ken Roosevelt, Jefferson Washington pressman.
- 42:16Speaker 1: There you go.
- 42:18Speaker 3: Yes, please dropping the comments about if you're interested in
- 42:24Speaker 3: a non sports related.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do like a movie review. I watched
- 42:29Speaker 1: one Battle after Another last night. I wrote a movie
- 42:32Speaker 1: review on that.
- 42:33Speaker 3: I feel like it's ruining it. Okay, I think that's good.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Air week.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy later everyone
- 42:40Speaker 3: Yeah, please, Oh my goodness, I can't
