Chad and Scooch recap the NFL Conference Championship Games and Talk Early Super Bowl Lines · The Favorites Sports Betting Podcast

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites. I am Chad Melman from the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Action Network. It is Wednesday, the week between the Super
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl in the conference championship games, which was this past Sunday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and they were insane. Um. So as usual, I'm gonna
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: have Bob Scucci on, so we're gonna talk about this.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a little depressed about all of it. Still, it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hard for me to get over it. Let me bring
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the man on, Mr Bob Scucci from New Orleans and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: all the boy giving books in the state and of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how are you, man? I'm good. How are you? What's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: going on? Sound good? It's a rough weekend, man, tell me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I mean it was a rough weekend for me too.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, we escaped, we ended up a little bit
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of a little bit of a winner, but that Rams
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: game was just ugly. I mean we talked about we
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: opened three and a half, um went down to three.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Everything was on the Rams moneyline, the Rams um we needed,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we needed the Saints. We thought we had it there
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and just slipped away. You know, I just watching all
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the the Saints players and coaches in the postgame interviews,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I felt like it was me on there because expressing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: my exact disappointment I feel you man, like, tell me
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: what you were thinking when when that play happened. I mean,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there's only one play to talk about. Yeah, I mean
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I just was looking for the flag, you know, I'm
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just used to watching, uh, the bottom part of the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: screen like everybody else, waiting for the little yellow light
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to come on the bottom of the screen and say flag,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and I never saw it. And then sometimes you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they don't show it, but then you see the uh
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the referee, you know, uh a shot of the ref
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: making the call, and it was so loud in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: sports book, I really couldn't hear the sound on the TV.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So I was just like everybody else, just waiting to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: see a ref with the signal of pass interference and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: uh never came. And then it was just shock, like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that was the game right there, because you know, the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: field goal did us really no good. We were looking
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for the touchdown. So when when they had that long
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: kind of hail Mary passed to to get down to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like the Levener ball yard line, We're thinking, Okay, we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: got a shot for the Saints to get the touchdown,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: cover the three and a half points, and uh and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: then game over. Uh. So the field goal was better
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: than losing the game out right, but it still wasn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: as good as the touchdown. So um that that call really,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, changed everything for everybody. Did you see that today? Um,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: today's Tuesday. We're recording on Tuesday, A Saints season ticket
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: holders sued the NFL. I didn't see that, but um,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of different kind of promotions trying
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to kind of capitalize on things, uh, you know, for
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: for for many years in Las Vegas. Any kind of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: any kind of thing that happens like this, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: once you pay out aside, I mean, that's pretty much it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You can go back and and start saying, uh, okay,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we're stripping this team, like the like the USC national
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: championship team, we're stripping them of their uh national championship.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Ten years later, and then out of the woodwork, we
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: get people from that had tickets on Auburn that year saying, well, listen,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Auburn won the national championship because they stripped USC, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we we would like to get paid. So it's a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: dangerous road to go down when you start, uh, trying
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to change and rewrite history after the fact. I mean,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it was a bad call. Everyone admits that it's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: bad call, but that's accept the consequences and let's let's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: move on. What do you think of There is a company,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a new gaming company in New Jersey called Points Bet Yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that offered refunds to everybody who had the Saints minus three. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I saw that, and it's uh, and it's a promotion.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You know, they were able to go in and look
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and see how much it would cost the company if
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they did it. It's up to a hundred dollars. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'd hate to be the guy with a hundred and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: ten dollar bet that says, I'm sorry, it's up to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a hundred, or I'm not sure if they would honor
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: everything up to a hundred. And then you know, like
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: if you have a two thousand dollar ticket, do they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: honor it up to a hundred. I don't know. But
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but it's basically a promotion. It's an upstart company that's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: probably going to be spending thousands and thousands of dollars
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on advertising anyway just to get there aim out there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So this was kind of an inexpensive way to kind of, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like I said, capitalize on what happened in the game.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I was so heavily invested on the Saints at one point, Um,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you could live bet that game and you could have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: had the Rams at plus eleven and a half. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I did not bet that, but I did double down
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and bet the Saints minus two and a half. Um,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I did bet the over forty five and a half.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I live bet that. But basically everything I wanted lost right.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And I also had like a Saint's Chief's money line parlay,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: which was no fun and in addition to having the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Chiefs minus three, but I did have the over in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that game, so that felt good. And after the game,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I walked into the kitchen and my wife was in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: there on Sunday night, and she's like, what's going on?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, everything that could go wrong went wrong?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Like in every way, everything we needed we lost. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: she's like, oh my god, what happened? And I told
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: her about Greg's our line and the field goals, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: my wife is so sweet and like only sees good
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and light and she's like, oh my god, and I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like I know, she goes that is so exciting for
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the kicker. I'm like, I'm like, that's what you're taking
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: from this whole thing, like I lost all these bets.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm in misery. I haven't spoken to anybody in five
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: hours because of this. Our son left the house. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: didn't even know he was gone because I was so
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: locked in on these games. And the only thing you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: can take away from this is that you're really happy
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for the kicker for the rams. She's like, it seems
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like a really big deal that would have never occurred
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to me. Never, not once did I think I'm sad
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I lost the bet. But I am so excited for
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Greg Zerline because he really it really seemed was like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that's cool, you know what I mean, Yeah, that's that's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: like the consolation to say, yeah, you know what, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: got annihilated today, But god, I feel good. I'm thinking
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is fuck you Greg's ear alone. Fuck you for booming
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a fifty seven year field goal that nobody had any
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: business making. That cost me money. Uh so you did
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you lay three or three and a half? Three? Okay,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so you were so it didn't I know a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of people that laid three and a half. We're we're
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: kind of looking for the touchdown and overtime, which you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's what you have to hope for. Well, listen, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was hoping. Honestly, I got a little greedy, Okay, So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was hoping for um, it was twenty twenty twenty, right, yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it was when they threw that past the ted again
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking to myself, Oh my god, I've
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got a chance to get the touchdown, have this cover
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the Saints bet and get the over. Uh And then
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all that all went to hell? Right, So then it'y
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and then I even though like I had the Saints future,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I had the Saints money line parlay, like I had
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: all this stuff tied up in the Saints, I was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: going to push the minus three. I kind of got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: greedy and I thought I'd be okay with the Rams
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: driving down the field goal, driving down the field, kicking
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a field goal, getting me my over and give me
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a chance to win my side and stay alive for
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the money line parlay. I actually thought that, how awful
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: is that? What I was like rooting for one bet
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: against three? But I was so like intent because I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was going to be so close to winning, like I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: had forty five and a half, I needed to get
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the forty six. I'm like, are you kidding me? How
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: awful is that? Thinking that's pretty awful. I gotta tell you,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that's all. Do you think I jinxed people? It's you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: singlehandedly took down the Saints. Let me just tell you,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: because if you had been rooting the way you're supposed
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to be rooting, they probably would have won, no joke.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: If I had been rooting for the Saints the appropriate
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: way just to win out right, yeah, none of this
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: would have happened. Exactly, bad person, damn it. I at
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: least I when the over in the Chiefs game. Yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it was disappointing for us, Like we were
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: able to kind of put in a bunch of scores
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in the system to see how much we win or
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: lose on you know, the cold what ifs, and we're
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: doing a bunch of what ifs on the Patriots game
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: after the Rams, and we're like, there's no way to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: win on this next game. There was no score that
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: put us in a positive uh now, I mean we
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: were up a little bit on the on the after
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the Saints Rams game, even though you know, when you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: lose a game, there's still a lot of losing tickets
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that a lot of parleys don't kick in yet, So
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you're kind of in the plus and we're doing all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the what ifs in the second game and we lose
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: every every scenario Patriots and over Patriots and under Chiefs
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and over Chiefs and under the only possible way we
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: were going to win, as if the Chiefs had won
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: by exactly one or two and it stayed under. So
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we weren't hoping for much there were we uh and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: we had we had a shot actually, but not not
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: much of one. And uh so anyway we it. Uh
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that's how big the Saints Rams game was for us.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And then going into the Patriots game, I mean, exciting,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: exciting to watch, but it's kind of at that point
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the wind was out of my sales because now it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just a matter of how much we're gonna lose on
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this game. So I probably wasn't watching it with as
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: much emotion as some other people. Um. I got to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: talk about the fact that this is the episode where
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we launched to get your Prop up in Vegas contest. Yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: so every year, uh Scooch and I if you're new
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to the podcast, but every year Scooch offers the opportunity
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for a fan to get their own prop up on
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the board at the Orleans in Las Vegas. Um, So
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: it's a really great test. And later on in the show,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of fun because a former
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: winner and a guy who entered last year and got
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: mentioned on the podcast. Um, have a great story of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: meeting because of the podcast. And then get your prop
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: up in Vegas Contest. They're gonna come on the show.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: They're gonna talk about sort of that story and how
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Serendipito is and it's just funny. Um, they're both funny guys.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And it's one of the past winners of the contest too,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: so he can give you his secrets. Um. But it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: really a blast, Scooch tell people give people some of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your parameters. Yeah, so it's got to be something interesting,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: something that can generate a little bit of a conversation.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But the thing to keep in mind is it has
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to fall within the Nevada gaming regulations, meaning you can't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: have a prop. We can't put a prop up that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: says how many times is the camera going to flash
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to somebody's wife or how many you know, what color
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is the the gatorade that they pour on the coach,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: or the length of the nash in the anthem Uh,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: these are the kind of things that maybe they're able
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to do in far away jurisdictions, but we're governed by
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Gaming Control Board and we have to go to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: an official site for the results, and that official site
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in this case will be NFL dot com or and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the NFL website or the NFL official stats. So it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: has to be decided kind of on the field of play.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean we can't get really creative in that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: We've had some really great ones over the over the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: past years. So uh, that's why. Uh Um, it's kind
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of fun to kind of see how much you can
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: push the line and still be kind of within the regulations.
• 12:37

  Speaker 1: them up the same time every year as everyone in town.

  Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, they're just all asking for the problem.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Where the props where the problem? Like like as soon
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: as the game ends on Sunday night, we're like furiously
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: entering everything into the computer and getting them out there.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of work involved in these things. Yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it's massive, but it's amazing to me, like how much
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: people love props now and like the Super Bowl props especially.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: It'll be a big part of the show. We're doing
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the live podcast obviously for Action Network go download the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: free app and Action network dot com. Massive amount of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: props covers that we're gonna do. We love player props.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: We're doing them every week on the site anyway, So um,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you can imagine how we're just gonna double down pun intended.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'm player props and props in general for the Super Bowl. Uh,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that's go ahead, can't wait listen? Well, well, I'm cutting
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you off because I want to talk about one thing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: because we want to get to the guests and we're
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: gonna have them much longer conversation next week when we
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: talk about all the props in uh, the lines and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: sort of how they're moving. But we do have to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: have an initial conversation about how Vegas opened the line,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the line move in your initial take. Yeah, so you
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: know we have the um all the possible lines as
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the NFC and an f C Championships are still going
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: going on, and almost every scenario had the NFC favored
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: by one and a half to two points. Prior to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: both games starting. It was gonna be almost every scenario
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: was going to be either the Saints one or two
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: or the Rams one or two versus either the Patriots
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or the Chiefs. So that really didn't change much. Now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we didn't see anything kind of out of the ordinary.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That just made us feel that the line should have
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: been much different than that. So so we did hang
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Rams uh minus one, and out of the gate,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I mean out of the gate. It was furious, just
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: bet after bet, sharp guys just pounding on the Patriots.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: We quickly went from the Rams minus one to the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Saints minus one. UH stood there for maybe about thirty
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: minutes at an hour, and then another wave came in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and suddenly we started seeing one and a half twos
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: popping up. So UH we took some money at minus
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: one and a half went to two. I think the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: bulk of the Patriots money we took was at minus
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: two before we went to two and a half. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: then all all day Monday was just every bet was
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: minus the two and a half minus the two and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a half. Um, this was one of the most lopsided
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: games we've seen, probably since the Broncos played the Seahawks.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I remember a similar line movement when we hung the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: game pick and we closed the Broncos a two and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite. Uh So, I don't know if
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get the same result, but that that was one
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of the biggest wins the state ever had in that
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, And so I would imagine that this Super
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Bowl will either be one of the biggest losses or
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest is because of how lopside at
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the betting is. Wow, where do you think, Hey, why
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: do you think they started betting the Patriots so heavily.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It's not like the wise guys to be that influenced
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: by what they're seeing most recently from a team. Yeah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what they saw that we didn't see.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, again, we didn't see a need for too
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: big of an adjustment based off of what we had
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the lines um, you know, prior to prior to the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: game starting. I mean, the only the only question mark
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was was maybe girly and and and the impact that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he did have or didn't have in that game, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: whether or not he'll be a factor in the in
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in in the Super Bowl. Uh that that may have
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: been one of the deciding factors, but we we really
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: didn't see anything else that would make us want to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: change the line from you know, one to two and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a half the other side a three and a half
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: point line move. Uh So, I oak with a lot
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: of the kind of Hodgemakers that that I've worked with
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: over the years, and they feel pretty confident that still
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: even after the fact that now we're pretty good with
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: our number, that the Rams should be a one point favorite.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's what we have. You know, the betting will dictate
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the line, which it has, but they feel pretty comfortable
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in uh needing the Rams in this one. And when
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: are you going to go to three? I mean we
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: may again if I can make a parallel to that
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: bronchos Seahawks game, which I said I would never go
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to three in that one, and Sunday, right around one
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: o'clock Vegas time, I had enough. I got so much
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: money on the on the Broncos that I finally went
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to three and it just got gobbled up and then
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: within five minutes I went back to five two and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a half. So if anything it'll be closer to game
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: time if if I go to three, certainly looks like
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it will go though. I heard from a bookmaker today
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I saw maybe I sat on Twitter, Um he went
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to three just to experiment and it lasted for less
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: than eighteen minutes. Wow. Well, I mean everyone that likes
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the rams now is gonna wait so there. If if
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: there were people, I will say, I will say one thing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I went to two and a half when there were
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: still one and a halfs in town. I did kind
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of the same thing Sunday night where I wanted to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: test the waters and see if anyone would grab the rams.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So I went to two and a half and immediately
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: got a plus two and a half bet from from
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: one of the sharp guys that I've I've known over
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the years. But then everyone else came up to two
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and a half and then that was the end of it,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and then there was no more sharp action on the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: rams at all. So again, if there are people out
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: there that want the rams, I would imagine that they're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: all sitting there waiting to see if they can grab three,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: either now or closer to game time, because they're pretty
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: confident now that it's not gonna go back down own
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to two or one and a half. So they know
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: they can get plus two and a half, that's guaranteed,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: but it's better to wait to see if they can
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: get plus three. Do you think it's better it's of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: more value to bet on the rams and the money
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: line if it's a two and a half, it's that short. Yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that's what everyone does. And so again that was the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: reason for the uh why when I said that the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Chiefs Patriots game last Sunday, that the only way we
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: could win is if the Chiefs one by one or two.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: And that was the reason because everyone that was betting
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the Patriots were not only taking the points, but a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: lot of them are just taking the Patriots on the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: money line. So that's usually our best case scenario when
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the favorite wins and doesn't cover in the super Bowl.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Because most people, the average betters that the guys that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: are coming up just betting fifty bucks a hundred bucks.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: If they're going to take the dog, they usually want odds.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: They want you know, plus one thirty plus one forty,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: whatever they can get. Nobody likes to lay one fifty
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to win a dollar. So the people that are bet
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in the favorite are laying the points, laying the two
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and a half, and the people that are taken the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: dog are taking them on the money line. So again,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it would be our best case scenario if the Patriots
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: one by either one or two. I really want to
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: bet the Rams now, I will say. I mean we
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: have not had good luck with the Patriots. I mean
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: they this is there what ninth super Bowl? The very
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: first one when they played the Rams back in oh one,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: we got annihilated on the money line because the Rams
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: were in. They closed an eleven and a half point
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: dog with us, and everybody had them on the on
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the money line at three to one, four to one,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: whatever they can get, whatever they got, and we got
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: crushed on that one. And then more recently, out of
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the last uh five Super Bowls the Patriots were in,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we lost every one of them. Uh. When I say lost,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I mean we had our our worst outcome. Sometimes we
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: can still have our worst possible scenario and still come
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: out on the plus side and hold you know, a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: half of one percent or one percent, but it's it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: not the winning combination. Um. You know, last year we
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: needed the Patriots to to beat the Eagles. We lost
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: that one a couple of years ago when Seattle was
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on the one yard line. We needed Seattle to beat
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. We lost that one. Uh. We just haven't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: had had great luck with the Patriots. You had uh.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You just said in the first Super Bowl the Patriots
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: closed as eleven and a half point dogs to the Rams,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and you had three to one money on the Patriots
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: on the money line. No, I think it was higher
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: for because it was it was minus six dollars. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: think there were plus four plus four hunter and you
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: had a ton of money on that. Oh yeah, yep.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: That was the year. I think uh. Even uh Charles
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Barkley had bet uh uh at one of the other properties.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: He made a big bet on the money line, and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it was kind of well publicized that he uh that
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: he had the Patriots uh to win straight up. Wow.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And then that was kind of the beginning of the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: whole fad of betting the big dogs to win straight
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: up because then twice the Giants were big, big underdogs
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and everybody bet the Giants to win
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: straight up. We lost both of those two. Oh my god,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. I'm taking some notes because I'm working on
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a story about all the years in which the Patriots
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: have been in the Super Bowl and betters have gotten
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: just fucked. But it sounds like it sounds like more
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: likely like betters do Okay, it's the books that get fucked. Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I think the only one where the where the betting
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: public got screwed was the Eagles Patriots with Donovan McNabb
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and the Patriots won but didn't cover. And again that
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: was our you know, our best outcome. Yeah, yeah, I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: remember that game. But yeah, the recently, uh hasn't been good. Well,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: not for you, not for us. Yeah, even that that
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: ugly Falcons game. We finally thought that the Patriots and Falcons,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that we were on the right side because we needed
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the Falcons in that one, and then they come storming
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: back to kill us. But last year you needed the Eagles.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: We didn't need the Eagles. We needed the Patriots last year. Yeah,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that's that's yeah. Yeah, everyone came came in on the Eagles.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But doesn't allow of this get balanced out now with
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: like all the props, Like yeah, so that's what I'm
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: saying when I say we lose, Like if you look
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: statistically for the state of Nevada, there's really only been
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: a couple of years where the entire state UH actually
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: comes out in the negative. But you have to understand
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that includes all the future bets, It includes all the props,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: all the parlay cards, well the first half the second half,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: so it's you know, it doesn't single out just the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: side and total and money line of the game itself.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: There's been many times where we lose big on the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: game itself and then make it back in either futures
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: or UH like I said, first and second half wagering,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: or or the props mm hmm. The Patriots, they do wonders, man.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So like now, if I want to bet the Rams,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I probably want to bet them on the money line,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: which I'm gonna do. I think that's what I'm gonna do.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: What do you think of the total highest total lever?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Does that make you nervous at all? Yeah? We tried
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: to make it as sigh as we can. We got
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: pounded on the under h. We were as high as
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: fifty eight and a half. We're down to actually we're
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: high as UH fifty nine and we're down to fifty
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: seven and a half right now. The sharp guys can't
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: get enough of the under um and uh, you know
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the first half of both these games looked like, uh,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know that the defenses would would prevail, and that's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: what I guess the sharp guys are looking for in
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But we all the public money is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: on is going to be on parlays with either side
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: tied to the over, so we know that going into it. Uh.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It always kind of sucks that we have to keep
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the total as low as it is now because we
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: know the sharp guys are betting at two weeks ahead
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of time. But then by closer to game day, you'll
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: probably see this thing go right back up to fifty
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: eight and a half, maybe even fifty nine. Scooche. I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: want to I want to get us to Our guests

• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of UM. We've been doing this contest for years. Scooch
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and I used to do it over at ESPN. UM.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: We have brought it over to the Action Network. We
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: did it last year. UH. It's fantastic and UM right now,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I have two former entrances from the super from the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Prop contest. I almost called it the super Contest, Scooch,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and that would have made you sad. Um from the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Get Your Prop Up in Vegas CONTs a super prop contest,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: it is very super prop contest from your Get Your
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Prop Up in Vegas contest. One is a former winner.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: One is Um, an entrance who got a shout out
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: on the podcast last year. UH. And the story of
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: them together is truly wonderful and can only happen because
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of gambling and this podcast. First up, we're gonna go
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: with Brian and you first, because Brian didn't win, so
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I want to save it for the winner. I want
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the winner to go second. Brian. It's going on, brother,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Say Chad, how are you good? Alright? So, Brian, remind
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: everybody where you're from and the prop you entered into
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the contest last year. So I'm from New York. Uh.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: And last year I entered my prop that the Big
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Baller bet uh somewhat I will play on the Big
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Baller brand, which swept the nation last year. UH. And
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that prop that was essentially odds on any football player
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown Brady Brandon cooked at the time, who's
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: still in the Patriots, Garrett Blount, um, so on and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: so forth. And I mean it was more of a
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: gimick than anything else with the with the Big Baller
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: uh name, which is why I guess it's a runner
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: up rather than the winner. But at least I got
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the out, you got the shout out. I think I remember.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: We just liked it for its creativity. We liked the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: way it connected to pop culture. Um, it's so funny.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Like you watch movies that have pop culture references, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the best ones, they often feel dated after the fact.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And like Scooch in retrospect, I'm so glad we didn't
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: choose this because how how dated, Like it wouldn't stand
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the test of you know what I mean. And we're
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: about We're about being in a time capsule and being
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: relevant thirty years from now. And I can't think if
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: anybody is going to be less relevant than the Big
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Baller Brain. So, um, I'm glad we didn't choose it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: What about you, scooch in retrospect, Well, all of the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: props are always supposed to be topical and topical of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: of of that particular time. If you go back to
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of the ones that we used. Uh, they
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: were just relevant at the time and don't know that
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: any of them really can stand the test of time
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: ten fifteen years later. Why do you hate me? Uh,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: just just being real, you are being But it's also
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: a good point, like you want to part of the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and and Brian was sort of playing at
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the spirit of contest. You want to get something up
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: there that people are going to be excited about, that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: they're gonna feel connected to, that makes them giggle, right, Like,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I've got to get the big baller.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I've got to bet the big baller prop, because like,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: who doesn't want to bet on that? It's like, okay,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I'm you know what, I'm totally wrong. I don't know
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: why we didn't have Brian win last year. Yeah, it's
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to Chad, you already welcome back on it. Maybe let's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: get to Brian's let's get to Brian's friend. Uh. Next
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: up on the podcast, one of our favorite props of
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: all time, speaking of pop culture props, the Millennium Falcon prop.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: That was I believe two thousand, fourteen fifteen from Mr
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Evan Young Evan, welcome back to the podcast. Very good
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to be back. Good. How about yourself? I remember Evan
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: being very funny. No pressure. I well, right, Evan, remind
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: everybody where you're from and what your prop was from
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia originally, So last year when I was not on
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the podcast, but the Eagles did the did the damn
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: thing that was That was fun. But living in New York.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Now went a bunch of school in New York. And
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: two years ago it was talkins versus Patriots, and my
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: prop was the Atlanta Millennium falcon prop. You know, copyright huge,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: remember um, But so the Atlanta Millennium talking. The whole
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: prop was whether or not Matt Ryan would be a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: millennium talking. So we know a millennium is a thousand,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and the prop was will the product of his completions
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and attempts be over under a thousand? Or I think
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the line set was five. To this day, I still
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: love that prop. Scooch, give me a response. Yeah, that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: was topical too because of the whole Star Wars thing
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: that year. Right, I mean, I'm not the pulp pop
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: culture guy, but uh, you know that was extremely relevant
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to me. These are two great examples of what the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: props need to be if you want to win this contest. Um.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: But even better, like Brian, tell me the story of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: how you two became friends. Yeah, so a few years
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: ago I listened to you guys interview Van after he
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: won the prop contest with his Millennium talking, and you know,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I heard the name and it sounded somewhat familiar. So
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: naturally I went to social media and kind of did
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: some research and realized we had some mutual friends. Um.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: But at that point I didn't actually reach out to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: him yet. Um. And a few months later we ended
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: up talking at a rehearsal dinner for a few of
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: our mutual friends where his girlfriend now fiance is. Uh
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: it was a bridemaid and I was a groomsman and yeah,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: we you know, I approached him and then we just
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you know, nerded out like a couple, um, a couple
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of the generals. That is a beautiful story, Like why
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: didn't you just reach out to him immediately? What were
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: what was what were you waiting? I mean it was
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a little weird, kind of cold
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: going and kinda saying, hey, I heard you on the podcast.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I don't really know you, but what's up. You shouldn't
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: be shure shy. When you approached him at the wedding,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: what happened? Were you like, hey, dude, I heard you

  Speaker 1: wedding shower and the bridesmaids, and like I want to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: make sure it's not your girlfriend, Like how do you
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: do that? No? No, so I mean my my girlfriend

• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in the brittle party. Well yeah, I guess I already
