- 0:0154321 all systems go with Josh Applebaum starts now Hello and
- 0:14welcome to episode 424 of the all systems go sports betting
- 0:20podcast powered by rhythm. I am your host Josh Applebaum.
- 0:30What's going on, everyone? Happy Friday, but more
- 0:32importantly, happy 2026. That's right, 2025 is over. 2026
- 0:38is here. Hope everyone had a fantastic
- 0:40New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and we're going to get back
- 0:43into the swing of things again. New Year.
- 0:45You know, they always say like new Year, new me again.
- 0:47I kind of roll my eyes at that sometimes.
- 0:49But anyway, let's see if we can get back into the swing of
- 0:52cashing some tickets because it's been a been a good day
- 0:55since I talked to you guys. But I do have a three pack for
- 0:58you today, including two college football bowl games.
- 1:02We got bowl games all day and they're the two late night games
- 1:05that I'm focusing on Wake Forest and Mississippi State, Arizona
- 1:08and SMU both with some really sharp line moves here.
- 1:12Hopefully that will come through for us.
- 1:13So 3 pack overall, 2 bowl games and then one really big college
- 1:18basketball game. Kind of a sneaky big college
- 1:20basketball day. It's about 30 games overall, but
- 1:22there is a late night game between 2 ranked teams.
- 1:25It's the most heavily back game of the day.
- 1:27And we also have a really good feed the trendy dog opportunity
- 1:30here. So a three pack of college, 2
- 1:33college football, 1 college basketball.
- 1:35You guys know the drill. 3 plays.
- 1:37Let's try to go 2 and 1 eek out a winning day.
- 1:40Now hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and I know you
- 1:43did because you took EU. How about Miami getting it done?
- 1:48Awesome. I was at a New Year's Eve party
- 1:50with all my friends and we were sweating the you together and
- 1:53we're getting excited because did you guys notice if you got
- 1:55Miami and that was again back on Wednesday?
- 1:59Got them like plus 10 + 9 1/2. Did you see where they closed?
- 2:02They closed at plus 7 1/2. So that was some massive,
- 2:06massive CLV game day steam coming in our direction.
- 2:09You always get excited when the line is moving in your favor on
- 2:12game day because it just tells you that limits are raised.
- 2:15Biggest bets are coming in and they're basically validating the
- 2:17position that you took previously.
- 2:19Again, if Miami was plus 10 and then by you know, tip off their
- 2:22plus 12, that's when I get a little bit nervous.
- 2:25But it was great to see though you would not only cover the
- 2:28number but win outright with some great CLV.
- 2:30So one and O Wednesday plus 0.83 units.
- 2:33And then even though didn't have a pod yesterday because I was
- 2:38busy nursing a bit of a hangover and also watching some college
- 2:41football. But I did have two bets that I
- 2:43put in the Juice Reel app and also wrote about them in the
- 2:45Sharp report and went to and up. So 2 and O + 1.59 units.
- 2:50Had basically one of the sweats of the year with Ole Miss.
- 2:53Ole Miss plus 7 + 6 1/2. They actually got all the way
- 2:57down to six. And that was just a blueprint
- 2:58play where everybody and their mother was on Georgia.
- 3:01But that line kept going toward Ole Miss Ole Miss was a
- 3:04primetime dog, reverse line move play, also a conference dog,
- 3:08also a dog who can score system match.
- 3:10And not only did they cover the number, but they won the game
- 3:12out right. And you know what, Lane Kiffin,
- 3:14what a loser you are. Like you're going to put
- 3:17yourself above your team. Like he again.
- 3:19I saw him on Twitter, like celebrating.
- 3:20Like, yeah, yeah, go. Go Ole Miss.
- 3:22It's like, no, no, no, you don't.
- 3:24You don't get to celebrate Ole Miss.
- 3:25You left the team, you left them high and dry and you left them
- 3:28at the time of year when they needed you most because I I get
- 3:32it. You're getting paid a gazillion
- 3:33dollars to go to LSU, but that was just like Lane Kiffin.
- 3:35You're a total loser. I think you should have been
- 3:37just shut your mouth. You you left them abandoned
- 3:39them. They get to celebrate.
- 3:40You don't get to celebrate. But a great hit there with Ole
- 3:43Miss and also money lined Oregon.
- 3:45That was a play that there was a lot of late movement back toward
- 3:48Texas Tech, but Oregon did have a pretty good split and that was
- 3:51a really good rhythm recommendation as well with
- 3:54Oregon on the money lens. Oregon came through and then I
- 3:57didn't play it, but maybe you faded A trendy dog and took
- 4:00Indiana. I'm actually kicking myself for
- 4:02not taking Indiana, but I did write about him in the Sharp
- 4:05report where Indiana they opened around minus I think it was like
- 4:096 1/2 got up to 7 and 7 1/2, even though public was on Bama.
- 4:13So I know a few you guys at least cash with the Hoosiers
- 4:16there. But either way, guys, couple
- 4:18winning days. Let's see if we can keep it
- 4:19rolling here into a big Friday. I do want to mention two things
- 4:23real quick. Number one, we are going to do a
- 4:25rhythm rundown tonight, myself, my buddy Kate Harper.
- 4:28So 6:00 PM Eastern Time, Log into Twitter Kate and I'll be
- 4:31breaking down all the big sweats for this weekend.
- 4:34Also talk some early thoughts on the final four.
- 4:37We do have Miami about a three-point favorite against Ole
- 4:41Miss and Indiana's about a four point favorite against Oregon,
- 4:44but those obviously are about a week away.
- 4:46But we'll talk a little bit about that.
- 4:48And then also the NFL slate. And just remember, you know, we
- 4:51have two huge games on Saturday, Carolina, Tampa, Seattle, San
- 4:54Fran. We did see Tampa Bay -3 but
- 4:58there's juice on the Carolina plus three side.
- 5:01And also that line did go to Seattle, like plus one to -1
- 5:051/2. There's some injuries, question
- 5:06marks for San Fran. Those are the games that really
- 5:08matter because there's playoff stakes and implications.
- 5:12But we're going to talk about how to handle basically Week 18.
- 5:15It used to be Week 17, but last game of the year where we got a
- 5:18ton of backup quarterbacks. A lot of teams are packing it
- 5:20in. You're going to be on Twitter
- 5:22and see a lot of talk about incentives, which again, I think
- 5:24is a little bit overrated. Like, oh, he needs a three
- 5:28catches for $1,000,000 bonus. OK, then you have to go over 2
- 5:311/2 old, you know? Do you really?
- 5:33I just wouldn't fall totally into that trap.
- 5:35But either way, we'll talk about the rhythm recommendations and
- 5:37matches for NFL Week 18, which can be a little bit tricky, but
- 5:40looking forward to all of that, which we'll talk about again
- 5:43tonight, 6:00 Eastern Time for a Friday edition of the Rhythm
- 5:47Rundown. Now, without further ado, let's
- 5:49get right back at it, see if we can cash some tickets here, have
- 5:52a winning day, which is always the goal.
- 5:53And I want to start off with some college football.
- 5:57So these are not College Football Playoff games, but they
- 5:59are bowl games. And again, we got to be aware of
- 6:02kind of the way we approach them.
- 6:03You know, you look at some of these, you know, playoff games.
- 6:06It's, I'm not going to say easier.
- 6:08Again, I don't want to, you know, make it seem like it's
- 6:10easy to cash a ticket. It's not.
- 6:11It's hard to make winning bets, but it's a little easier from a
- 6:15capping standpoint because, you know, everyone's playing.
- 6:18You know, the coaches are all there.
- 6:19Like the bowl games. We've talked about it all bowl
- 6:21season long. I think we've done a pretty
- 6:22decent job of not only looking at what the market is doing, but
- 6:26why these lines are moving. What's the deal with opt outs,
- 6:28guys going, you know, for going the game to go in the draft,
- 6:31going in the portal, coaches, you know, interim coaches, all
- 6:34that kind of stuff. So we definitely want to be
- 6:37cognizant the fact that these are bowl games and not playoff
- 6:40games. But with that being said, I got
- 6:42a couple plays for you, so I'm going to focus on both of the
- 6:458:00 games. Now this is me going to complain
- 6:47one more time. Why do we have a 28 o'clock
- 6:50games? Can you give me an 8 and a nine
- 6:52and eight and a 10? You know, of course this means
- 6:54I'm going to have to be watching sweating 2 games simultaneously.
- 6:57But anyway, start with the first one, the Dukes Mayo Bowl, 8:00
- 7:01PM Eastern Time. We got Wake Forest versus
- 7:04Mississippi State, so let's set the stage.
- 7:06Talk splits, line, movement, rhythm and juice reel.
- 7:08I'll give you my play here. Now, this game will be played at
- 7:12Carolina Panthers and by the way, Duke's Mayo bowl.
- 7:14That means the winning coach usually gets have a huge bucket
- 7:17of Mayo dumped on their head, which pretty disgusting to me.
- 7:20But anyway, look forward to that.
- 7:23But we do have Wake Forest coming in eight and four.
- 7:25However, they did have a three-game win streak come to an
- 7:27end. Final game of the year they lost
- 7:29to Duke kind of got beat up 49 to 32 did not cover as a 1 1/2
- 7:34point Rd. dog. You know, Mississippi State 5:00
- 7:36and 7:00 on the year they've dropped three straight just got
- 7:39rolled by Ole Miss. As we just mentioned, 38 to 19
- 7:43didn't cover as A7 half point home dog.
- 7:46Now you might be asking yourself, don't you have to have
- 7:48six wins to get a bowl game? Yes, you do.
- 7:50And I was researching this game. There are a couple teams that
- 7:53were offered this bowl game and and denied it.
- 7:55So they needed someone to play this game.
- 7:57So that's why A5 win Mississippi State team is playing in this
- 8:00matchup. Now we open this game with
- 8:03Mississippi State listed around a three-point neutral site
- 8:05favorite. And early in the week, we did
- 8:07see this line tick up toward Mississippi State.
- 8:09They went from -3 up to as high as -4 1/2, but any as soon as it
- 8:14got up to 4 1/2 and it would did not stay there very long.
- 8:17Immediately back down to 4, back down to 3 1/2.
- 8:20Now it's down to three. And as I'm recording this pod
- 8:23right now, I'm seeing some of these lines now get down to as
- 8:27low as 2 1/2. So basically the early move was
- 8:29toward Mississippi State. Now it's coming back all the way
- 8:32toward Wake Forest. Key here is getting the hook, so
- 8:37I'm looking at the numbers right now.
- 8:38I got Wake Forest earlier today, wrote about them in the Sharp
- 8:41report, put them in the juicer lap.
- 8:43I got them plus 3 1/2 at -120, the only book still offering the
- 8:47hook. I'm in Massachusetts, might be
- 8:49different for you, but the score is offering plus 3 1/2 at -125
- 8:54but all the other books are +3. And I'm actually seeing FanDuel
- 8:57get down to 2 1/2. So important here that at least
- 8:59you get the three, which is pretty widely available.
- 9:02But if you do want to find a book in the hook, 3 1/2, as long
- 9:05as it's not like -120 is -125 that's about as high as I want
- 9:09to go. But again, lose by three.
- 9:10You want to cash by the hook there.
- 9:12So we're seeing a sign come back toward Wake Forest.
- 9:15And why is that important? One game day movement is
- 9:17important because that's limits are raised bigger that's coming
- 9:20in. Like we saw what the you that
- 9:21game day movement in their favor, but also because it is a
- 9:24contrarian play. So it's basically becoming a
- 9:27line freeze or even some reverse line movement because you are
- 9:30getting 59% of spread bets at DraftKings backing Mississippi
- 9:34State. And I think that's kind of just
- 9:36like SEC bias, maybe kind of a big bigger name school.
- 9:40But you flip it the other way. 8:00 game.
- 9:43Even if you take away the sharp buyback on Wake Forest, Demon
- 9:46Deacons are in a good contrarian spot, only getting 41% of spread
- 9:50bets at DK in a ESPN 8:00 primetime game.
- 9:54If we do focus at DraftKings and stay there, we'll notice 41%
- 9:59spread bets but 52% of spread dollars on Wake Forest.
- 10:03So good little low bets, higher dollar split in favor of the
- 10:06Demon Deacons. Now we did see this total fall.
- 10:08I didn't play it. My one play here is Wake Forest
- 10:11plus 3 1/2, but it did fall 56 and half down to 53 1/2.
- 10:15I'm seeing some 50 threes now. Did notice a pretty good 40%
- 10:19bets but 90% dollar edge from circa Sharps and Vegas playing
- 10:23the under motivation is important here to me because you
- 10:27got to think about, you know, what these games mean to both
- 10:30programs. So there does seem to be some
- 10:33opt outs on both sides. But here's here's an angle that
- 10:36hopefully will benefit Wake Forest.
- 10:38Their coach, Jake Dickert, he's in his first year with the team
- 10:42and he I believe was at Washington State prior, but he's
- 10:45never won a bowl game. So first year new team Wake
- 10:50Forces had a pretty good year. Think there's motivation here to
- 10:53win a bowl game, you know, cement your your program.
- 10:56Also, Mississippi State, you know, how much do they want to
- 10:58play this game? This is like, you know, getting
- 11:01picked last at recess for for, you know, dodgeball or whatever.
- 11:06They were not expected to play in this game and two teams had
- 11:09to bow out for them to get in. So what's their motivation to
- 11:12play this game? I mean, you weren't even
- 11:13expecting to have a bowl game. We look at the defenses
- 11:16advantage here for Wake. They're only giving up 22 1/2
- 11:19points per game. That's 42nd best in college
- 11:22college football. And Mississippi State, they're
- 11:24giving up 31.8 points per game, 109th.
- 11:27So their defense wasn't very good all year.
- 11:29Lastly, did you notice Wake Forest?
- 11:31You know where they're at, they're in North Carolina.
- 11:34Where's this game at? Carolina Panthers home stadium.
- 11:37So even though it's a quote UN quote neutral site, is there a
- 11:39little bit of home cooking with a friendly crowd toward Wake
- 11:42Forest? So add it all up here, guys.
- 11:44Publix on Mississippi State, but this line is creeping back
- 11:47toward Wake Forest. You are contrarian with a low
- 11:49bets higher dollar split. Maybe get some home field
- 11:52advantage. Maybe you got a coach who's
- 11:53going to really, you know, try hard to win this game or at
- 11:57least cover for us. I did take Wake Forest plus 3
- 12:001/2 at -120 again, you can still get 3 and F -, 125, but some
- 12:06looks basically most of the markets down to three.
- 12:08So try to get the hook if you can.
- 12:10But I'm going Demon Deacons plus 3 1/2 again -120 next one for
- 12:15you, another 8:00 game. Arizona and SMU.
- 12:19This is the trust in will Holiday Bowl.
- 12:21It's going to be played at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego,
- 12:24CA. Now Zona comes in nine and three
- 12:28ranked 17th in the country. They've won five in a row, just
- 12:31beat Arizona State 23 to 7, easily covered as a 2 point Rd.
- 12:35favorite. Meanwhile, SMU 8 and four did
- 12:37just lose their last game though that snapped A3 game-winning
- 12:40streak and it was kind of embarrassing.
- 12:42They lost to Cal 38 to 35. They're a 13 1/2 point Rd.
- 12:46favorite and lost out right. So what are we seeing across the
- 12:48market here? Well, this game open, Zona
- 12:51listed as high as a three-point neutral site favorite and the
- 12:54public says this line is way too short.
- 12:57Zona is the better team. They're on a win streak, better
- 12:59record, and they're ranked and SMU is not.
- 13:01And they just lost straight up to a Cal team on their favor by
- 13:04two touchdowns. Nearly.
- 13:06However, even though 60% of spread bats are going with the
- 13:08Wildcats, Wildcats didn't move -3 to -4 - 5.
- 13:13No, this thing has gone completely the other way toward
- 13:16SMU. So SMU went from +3 now to -1 -
- 13:211 1/2. So you know what that means?
- 13:24We got a dog to fave line. Love it when you flip and go dog
- 13:28to fave. Tells us a lot of big money came
- 13:30in on SMU. Not only is SMU and a really
- 13:33sharp dog to fave line move, but they are also in a really good
- 13:36bet against the public spot. So contrarian opportunity.
- 13:39Another 8:00 game. This game is on Fox so again,
- 13:4260% of spread bats are on Zona. I want to be on the 40% side and
- 13:47they heavily bet primetime game and we do have that contrarian
- 13:50value here to go with SMU. Now you guys know me, I'm not
- 13:54going to lay A1 or 1 1/2 win by 1 and lose my bet.
- 13:57So I money lined SMU, I got SMU at -112 on the money line.
- 14:02I think that was, I want to say FanDuel, but again, shop around
- 14:05some books -115 but if you look at Circa SMU, 88% of money line
- 14:11bets, 93% of money line dollars. So out in Vegas, you're getting
- 14:15a big, big wave here of pro and Joe bet splits from Circa.
- 14:19And again, the key with these splits is like if it's heavily
- 14:22back game, you know, and it's DraftKings, like I definitely
- 14:25want to be against it because that's really the public
- 14:27barometer. But Circa their clientele is
- 14:29sharper betters. So the fact that it's 88
- 14:31percent, 93% that tells me heavy, heavy money for mostly
- 14:35sharp players with the line move on.
- 14:37SMUSMU is a buy low play unranked home fit, not a home
- 14:41unranked home fave, but an unranked neutral site fave
- 14:44against a ranked opponent. It's a system we love to play
- 14:47like again, if Arizona is the better record, better team,
- 14:50quote UN quote, then why is the line going SMU?
- 14:52Dead giveaway to me that pros are on the Mustangs here.
- 14:55Now we did see this total fall 52 1/2 to some books, 51 1/2 now
- 15:0127% bets, 77% dollars are on the the under.
- 15:06So looks like some under money here.
- 15:08And Arizona head coach Brent Brennan kind of annoying.
- 15:12Like, this isn't the Super Bowl, dude.
- 15:13But he's not saying anything about OPT.
- 15:15Outs. Like he's basically saying there
- 15:18could be opt outs but I don't want to give any bulletin board
- 15:20material to SMU. It's like, dude, this ain't the
- 15:22Super Bowl, so why don't you just tell us who's playing or
- 15:25who's not? Anyway, maybe that's the reason
- 15:28why we're seeing this move toward SMU.
- 15:30Could you have a lot of, you know, Arizona guys not playing
- 15:32this matchup? I haven't seen anything on
- 15:34Twitter, but if he's being coy about it and he said, yeah,
- 15:37they're probably will be, but I'm not going to tell you how
- 15:39many or who. Maybe that's the reason why.
- 15:41But either way, guys, pretty clear here.
- 15:43Public Zona lions going to SMU. I'm going dog to fave money line
- 15:48SMU -112 and oh by the way, there is a 24% sharp mush edge
- 15:54from our friends at Juice Reel also on the Mustangs money line.
- 15:58So SMU money line Wake Forest try to get the hook plus 3 1/2.
- 16:03Now moving over to some college hoops because there's a lot of
- 16:06college hoops action today, but there's one game that is very,
- 16:09very heavily bet more than any other game and it happens to be
- 16:13two ranked teams. 9:00 tonight, Peacock.
- 16:16So Peacock forced me to. Isn't it annoying how you got to
- 16:19pay for all these different platforms?
- 16:21But I did pay for a month of Peacock and just 10 bucks or
- 16:24whatever. But it's like, Jesus, I'm always
- 16:27I'm always got paying for everything.
- 16:29But that's the life of a sports better, I guess.
- 16:31But it's on Peacock. It's Michigan State and
- 16:33Nebraska, so two really good teams facing off Michigan State
- 16:37is 12 and one and they're ranked 9th in the country.
- 16:40Michigan State's last game they played, Cornell beat them 114 to
- 16:4497. On the other hand, Nebraska 13
- 16:47and O, they're ranked 13th and they just beat UNH 86 to 55 S 2
- 16:51really, really good teams facing off now.
- 16:54This came open Nebraska at home around a 1 1/2 point home
- 16:58favorite and the public says. The wrong team is favored.
- 17:02You got to take Izzo getting points.
- 17:05Again, that's the drunk guy at the bar.
- 17:07However, even though right now you are getting 70% of spread
- 17:12bets taking the points with with Sparty, this line did not get
- 17:16down to a pick and it didn't hop the fence and go dog to fave
- 17:19Sparty. It's gone further toward
- 17:21Nebraska. So Nebraska, even though they're
- 17:23only getting 30% of spread bats at DK again, most heavily back
- 17:27game of the night public all over Michigan State.
- 17:30This line, however, is going toward Nebraska.
- 17:32They went from -1 1/2 up to -2 1/2.
- 17:34So take a step back. Why is the line going further
- 17:37toward the Cornhuskers if the public is hammering?
- 17:40Michigan State tells me we got a sharp play here to play the
- 17:43Cornhuskers. So not only are the Cornhuskers
- 17:46super, super sharp again, line move in their favor despite
- 17:51heavy, heavy betting Michigan State, but they're also just a
- 17:53straight up contrarian play. Like even if you know the line
- 17:55didn't move further in their favor, this is just your number
- 17:57one contrarian play to bet against the public.
- 17:59Who's hammering Sparty. But again, classic fade the
- 18:02trendy dog play. I'm going to or what I did was I
- 18:06money lined Nebraska. So I got Nebraska -130 I believe
- 18:10that was at Fanatics. Shop around.
- 18:12Some books I think are like closer to -140 I did it because
- 18:151, I don't want them to win by one or two.
- 18:17I lose a 2 1/2. So I'm protecting myself and the
- 18:20chance of a very close game here.
- 18:22But also that Ken Palm, he does have Nebraska winning, but only
- 18:25by one point. So again, protect yourself.
- 18:28That's at least what I'm doing. Going with Nebraska money line
- 18:30here. We do have some very clear
- 18:33advantages toward the Cornhuskers.
- 18:35One, they have the better offensive efficiency.
- 18:37They are ranked 37th in the country versus 46th.
- 18:41They also have the better effective field goal percentage,
- 18:43ranking 41st versus 107th for Michigan State.
- 18:47They also take better care of the ball, so they actually rank
- 18:5015th best in the country at not turning it over versus 166th for
- 18:56Sparty. They turn it over quite a bit
- 18:57more. Lastly, we do have a free throw
- 19:00advantage. If this becomes a tight game,
- 19:02hopefully Nebraska makes their their free throws.
- 19:04They're shooting 75% versus 73% from Michigan State.
- 19:09Then lastly, you know, I got a system for this 1-2 ranked teams
- 19:14take the favorite. It's a money line system.
- 19:16It's nearly 70% since 2021. So this is one of the games that
- 19:21again I got to get down on public.
- 19:23Michigan State most heavily back game of the night.
- 19:25But the lines going toward Nebraska again tells me smart
- 19:28money here on the Cornhuskers. I also have a money line system
- 19:32for this year, which is I call it the ML short fave with a
- 19:36move. So if you're favored by 4 or
- 19:38less and the line moves at least 1/2 point in your direction and
- 19:41you're again favored, that system is 99 and 68 this year,
- 19:4560% with about a 2% ROI. So let's fade A trendy dogs
- 19:49party. Let's go Cornhuskers, let's
- 19:52Shuck some corn tonight. I'm on Nebraska money line at
- 19:55-130 So that about does it for episode 424 of the All Systems

- 22:41logic live odds page because it's the best around.
- 22:44It's going to give you all the games.
- 22:45I track the market through my live odds page provided by odds
- 22:49logic. It's just a great simple, really
- 22:51just you know, fast updating, clean interface, basically what
- 22:55you what you need. It's your sports betting Bible,
- 22:57all the games, start times, live scoring, live in game wagering
- 23:00odds. But really what I love is
- 23:02tracking the market. What are the line open at your
- 23:04open column never changes all the current prices.
- 23:07You can pull up the line history, but always shopping for
- 23:10the best price. So for example, if you're going
- 23:12Wake Forest with me tonight, you're finding that hook which
- 23:15book is giving me the 3 1/2 on? Every other book is at 3, which
- 23:18can be the difference between a win, a loss, and a push.
- 23:20So if you want to give Odds Logic a shot, all you got to do
- 23:23is go to oddslogic.com/josh 123. That'll get you a 7 day free
- 23:29trial 50% off your first month. Next, have you downloaded Novig?
- 23:34Novig is a sports betting exchange.
- 23:36It's not a sports book and I am an affiliate of Novig.
- 23:39I like Novig because you get way better juice prices.
- 23:42So the fact that it's not a sports book, that means they're
- 23:45not going to crush you with -120 -, 130 juice, you're going to
- 23:49get better juice prices because it's, it's an exchange.
- 23:52So for example, Arizona SMU money line, SMU is minus one O
- 23:565, Arizona's plus one O 1. You look at what's another game
- 24:01here for tonight. If you look at we'll, we'll stay
- 24:05with this one. Look at the the spread plus 1
- 24:081/2 Arizona minus one O 6 + -, 1 1/2 plus one O 2 for SMU.
- 24:14So you're getting better juice prices, which means you can win
- 24:16at the same rate you would same exact win percentage at a sports
- 24:20book, but you're making more money on the back end because
- 24:22you're risking less juice, which means you're making more risking
- 24:25unit getting more on the back end.
- 24:28So download Novig and when you fund your account, there should
- 24:31be a little promo code. Just put in Josh 123.
- 24:34They'll tack on an extra 25 bucks for you.
- 24:37Lastly, just wanted to mention it's week 18 NFL and you know
- 24:40what that means? Right after that we got the
- 24:42playoffs. So I do have a Survivor contest
- 24:45with Splash Sports. I pinned it to my profile.
- 24:48So if you just go to at Josh under score Insights on Twitter,
- 24:51I'd love for you guys to join. It's 25 bucks.
- 24:53It went up to 5 grand and I got my guy Manny Davidson won the
- 24:57the regular season 1. I think he won like almost
- 24:59$4000. So I'd love for a ASG podcast
- 25:03listener to win 5K here. But again, you can just join
- 25:07clicking the the link on my profile on Twitter pinned to the
- 25:10top of my page or always put the link in the description box on

- 25:17Everybody on the first pod of a new year.
- 25:19Let's have a big 2026. But as always, two final
- 25:22thoughts. One, whether I see you at the
- 25:24Borgata in Atlantic City, Twin River in Rhode Island, the
- 25:27Brooklyn, New Hampshire, Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, down in
- 25:30Connecticut at the Encore in Boston, Plain Ridge Park,
- 25:32Casino, MGM Springfield, the Nash on the border of
- 25:35Massachusetts and New Hampshire, my neck of the woods.
- 25:38Or of course, out in the desert where the true grinders get
- 25:40down, where Billy Walters sends his number runners, where the
- 25:43lowest juice possible is found at the South Point.
- 25:45Or sweat and sharp contrarian plays jumping in the stadium
- 25:48swimming pool when he catch a big ticket at Circa.
- 25:51You're going to walk up to me. Show me a beautiful Miami ticket
- 25:56from New Year's Eve. Or how about an Ole Miss or an
- 25:58Oregon ticket from yesterday? Or maybe you took Indiana, but
- 26:01guess what first one's on me, next one's on you.
- 26:03We'll post about the book. And so it's some college hoops
- 26:05and bowl games for tonight. As always, guys coming off a
- 26:09winning day, losing day, a great night, a terrible night, hot
- 26:12streak, a cold streak weather up or down or grinding.
- 26:15We just got to stick with it. Things are going well.
- 26:17Don't get cocky, arrogant, think you're invincible, you're
- 26:20struggling. Don't get down on yourself.
- 26:22Don't get depressed. Stick with it.
- 26:24Even keeled flat batting, grinding play in the system
- 26:28matches and you guys know what they they mean because we talk
- 26:31about all the time finding games that fit our model against the
- 26:34public with the house, with the pros flat bet, avoid parlays and
- 26:38get that CLV. If we can do that, we're going
- 26:40to be successful sports vetters. So have a great Friday night.
- 26:43Everybody have an even better weekend reminder 6:00 PM
- 26:46tonight, rhythm rundown on Twitter and bets for this
