- 2:20Kind of teased it a bit. But March Madness starts tonight
- 2:24because we have two games to get down on.
- 2:26There's actually a bunch of other tournament games.
- 2:28I'm going to kind of, you know, maybe.
- 2:30We'll, we'll, we'll maybe play a few of these.
- 2:32When it comes to the NITCBICITI can't even keep up with all
- 2:36these other tournaments. But for the time being, let's
- 2:39focus on March Madness because this is where the stakes are the
- 2:42highest, the most highest ticket counts are located.
- 2:45So hopefully opportunities for us to make some money.
- 2:48But I do have a play on both games tonight.
- 2:50So we have a game at 6:40 PM Eastern Time.
- 2:53Howard. And U MB C.
- 2:55A battle of the What are they the?
- 2:5716 seeds. With the winner facing Michigan
- 3:00and then at 9:00. 15 PM Eastern. Time the most heavily bet game
- 3:02of the night. Should be a great match up here.
- 3:04NC. State in Texas.
- 3:07These are a couple of 11 seeds that will face six seed BYU.
- 3:10So I got a plan both of these. So 2 best bets for tonight as
- 3:14always. Again, we don't have 3 plays, so
- 3:16we're not trying to go 2 and one each out of winning night, but
- 3:18let's try to. Get at least one of them if we
- 3:19could get both. Of them that'll be just an
- 3:21incredible start to March Madness.
- 3:24Now I mentioned splash sports survivor contest Applebaum March
- 3:28Madness survivor. So please join that.
- 3:30I'd love to have you guys come in have some fun.
- 3:32I also wanted to mention that the rhythm rundown, typically
- 3:35it's every Thursday. At 6:00 PM Eastern.
- 3:37Time, but with March Madness starting on Thursday at noon,
- 3:40we're going to push it up to tomorrow.
- 3:42So hope everyone, if you're free, if you got some, you know,
- 3:45some, some free time you want to come in and join.
- 3:48We will be going live on Twitter from 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
- 3:51To 7. PM Eastern Time looking at all
- 3:54of the rhythm recommendations models edges for the first round
- 3:57of the tournament. So hope to hope to see everyone
- 3:59there now before we dive in our sweats for tonight guys, you
- 4:02know what it happened again. I don't know how to say it, but
- 4:07O and 1 -, 1 unit the Houston Rockets were a best bet last
- 4:10night. Everything was going our way.
- 4:12Not a dog to fave, but a short fave becoming more of a favorite
- 4:15public was pounding the Lakers yet line went to the Rockets.
- 4:19They had great bet splits system matches.
- 4:21They had some great rest first tired advantages as well.
- 4:24And I'm I'm getting ready excited to sweat the Rockets and
- 4:27then what happens? This is a reminder from the
- 4:30betting gods, Josh, don't bet the NBA because if you notice
- 4:34what happened, we lost the game. the Rockets lost straight up.
- 4:37They're actually kind of tied and they're actually at a lead
- 4:39there late in the fourth quarter and they blew it and Lakers turn
- 4:42it on late. But did you notice where that
- 4:43line went? The line shot down away from the
- 4:47Houston Rockets. It actually hopped the fence and
- 4:49went to. Lakers like. -1 - 1 1/2 And why
- 4:53did that happen? Was it smart money?
- 4:55No, it was an injury. Al Paren Sengun, who I really
- 4:59like, he's a great center. He's kind of like a mini Yokich.
- 5:02Great playmaker. Of course he's.
- 5:04Questionable. What happens?
- 5:06He's ruled out the line flips to the Lakers.
- 5:08And what did I mention on the pod?
- 5:10I mentioned on the pod, Hey, you know, this game looks great, but
- 5:13the one reason why I don't bet a lot of NBA is because of load
- 5:16management and injuries because you can.
- 5:19And this is exactly what happened.
- 5:20So I think the the betting gods are laughing at me.
- 5:23And I also think like this is just a perfect sign from the
- 5:26betting gods that just NBA is terrible to bet on because I
- 5:30mentioned on yesterday's pod, hey one, what's, you know, one
- 5:33reason why I don't love betting NBA?
- 5:35It's because you can spend all day capping a game, getting a
- 5:38great number, having a great edge, then what happens?
- 5:41Somebody's out and and the line shoots the other way.
- 5:44And that's exactly what happened.
- 5:45So how disgusting was that again, O and 1 -, 1 unit.
- 5:50But again, that's why the NBA to me is just so frustrating and
- 5:54annoying because these guys maybe Sengu and I think he had
- 5:57back spasms or something. Maybe he was really hurt, but I
- 5:59don't know, man. They just they're they're
- 6:01they're they're wusses and they don't play.
- 6:03It's not like the NFL and I don't know how you can bet on a
- 6:06sport when out of nowhere a key player can be ruled out.
- 6:09So what are you going to do? Send goon was out line flip the
- 6:12other way. And that's why I.
- 6:13Hate betting the NBA and why? Limit betting the NBA, but you
- 6:17know what's good for tonight? These are games are college kids
- 6:20they're all playing and they're all going to give it their all.
- 6:22So hopefully we get a couple winners here on the on the 1st 4
- 6:26hardwood. So without wasting any more time
- 6:28to plays for tonight. Let's.
- 6:30Try to get at. Least one.
- 6:31If we could get 2, that would be even.
- 6:32Better so first one on the board, remember first four,
- 6:36these are unofficial but yet official NCAA tournament games.
- 6:39These are extremely heavily bet. I know there's actually 10 games
- 6:42overall in these other tournaments, but if you look at
- 6:45some sports betting indicators and sources in terms of ticket
- 6:48counts, like all these other games are like, you know, 110th
- 6:52of the tickets. So I don't want to waste my time
- 6:54on these games that don't matter too much.
- 6:56Let's focus on the big ones that do matter.
- 6:59So first, but on the board, 6:40 PM Eastern.
- 7:01Time UMBC facing. Howard Now let's set the stage.
- 7:05Talk splits, line movement, system matches and I'll give you
- 7:08my play for this first 4 matchup.
- 7:11Now as I mentioned earlier. Both these teams are. 16 seeds.
- 7:14And they will be a lamb to the slaughter most likely.
- 7:17Because if they. Whoever wins, they're going to
- 7:18face #1 Michigan in the second round.
- 7:21Now, little background. On these teams, UMBC went 24 and
- 7:258:00 during the season. They've won 12.
- 7:28Straight, they're red hot. They just brushed aside Vermont
- 7:3141 out. I'm a former UVM alum.
- 7:34But they beat. Vermont 74 to. 59.
- 7:36To win the America East tournament covered.
- 7:38Easily as a 2. Point neutral site favorite.
- 7:41Meanwhile, Howard 23 and 10 on the year.
- 7:44They have won eight in a row. And just beat NC.
- 7:46Central, 70 to 60. Three to win the.
- 7:49MIAC tournament didn't cover, though they're favored by 11 1/2
- 7:52in that one, so just sitting across the market for this first
- 7:554 matchup. Well, this game opened with UMBC
- 7:58listed as high. As a 2 1/2 point neutral site
- 8:01favorite and the public is saying.
- 8:04Hammer, Hammer, Hammer UMBC. They got the better record, 24
- 8:08and 8. They've won twelve straight.
- 8:09It's a short number. Don't even think about it.
- 8:11Play the team with the better record.
- 8:13So right now at DraftKings, 73% of spread bets are laying the
- 8:18points here in favor of. UMBC.
- 8:22However, what's very interesting.
- 8:24Is that even though the public is hammering UMBC, the.
- 8:26Retrievers. This line is not.
- 8:28Up to UMBC minus. Two and half to -3 to minus. 4
- 8:32Nope, it's actually plummeted and even.
- 8:34Hopped the fence toward Howard. So even though Howard.
- 8:37Is only getting 27% of spread bets.
- 8:40They've gone from plus 2 1/2 down to plus one and a half.
- 8:44A lot of books are out of pick them and a few other books are
- 8:46even at -1 or even -1 1/2 Howard.
- 8:49So this line is completely. Tumbled away from UMBC.
- 8:52And toward Howard. And that is what we call a
- 8:55reverse line move. Because even though the public
- 8:57is hammering UMBC. The line is only fallen toward
- 9:00Howard and even hopped the fence and gone dog to faith.
- 9:03So even if we take. Away that sharp reverse line
- 9:05movement again, have you betting?
- 9:06UMBC but. Line to unpopular Howard
- 9:08indicator, Smart money taking. Position, even if we just throw
- 9:11that. Along the wayside Howard is just
- 9:14a great contrarian play. So take away the sharp line
- 9:17movement, Howard is only getting 27% of spread bats.
- 9:20I know this one is on Tru TV so it's not like an ESPN or.
- 9:23You know. ABC or you know, major channel,
- 9:26but it's going to be on every bar and you're going to have to
- 9:29do that thing where you figure out what channel every year, you
- 9:32know, Tru TV is on. You can even talk into your
- 9:34remote low. Makes a little bit.
- 9:35Easier but still heavily back game.
- 9:38First game of March Madness. Everyone's excited to sweat it.
- 9:41Vast majority of the betting. Public is on UMBC.
- 9:44So right off the bat, Contrarian plays to take Howard.
- 9:46What do we always talk about on the pod?
- 9:48Even though. We want to go contrarian as a
- 9:51foundation. It's not the.
- 9:52End all. Be all you.
- 9:53Can't just take every contrarian play and expect to be a winning
- 9:56better. Yes, it's a foundational
- 9:58standpoint because you know that you're on the side of the house.
- 10:00You're betting against the public who loses more than they
- 10:02win. But we want some.
- 10:03Element of smart money and that we're is what we're seeing with
- 10:06this line falling and even hopping the fence toward Howard
- 10:09even though public is on UMBC. Now if we go to Circa, so it's
- 10:15there Howard Bison very very contrarian at DraftKings only
- 10:1827% bets but over at Circa 40% of spread bets are on Howard.
- 10:24But get a load of this 72% of spread dollars are on Howard.
- 10:29So low bets higher dollars and in particular coming from Circa
- 10:32out in Vegas where a lot of wise guys are at.
- 10:35Now here's the thing. This line is kind of all over
- 10:38the place. I see Howard plus 1 1/2 at quite
- 10:41a few books. I also see Howard at a pic.
- 10:44I also see Howard. Maybe. -1 or -1 1/2.
- 10:48So what I did when I wrote the Sharp report?
- 10:50vson.com. And if you want to support the
- 10:52pod during March Madness and get the ASG Best Bet picks from
- 10:56Juice Rail, it cost $4.99. Cents a week.
- 10:59I want to thank everyone who has signed up to get those plays.
- 11:01But you get. But the benefit of getting them,
- 11:04it's less than a cup of coffee. 5 bucks a week.
- 11:06But the benefit is that you. Get these plays quickly, you
- 11:09know, you know in the morning before the the pod is recorded.
- 11:13So I did jump on Howard plus 1 1/2 at -120 a little bit earlier
- 11:17this morning. Now I'm seeing you can still get
- 11:19some 1 1/2's out there. Bet MGM is Howard plus 1 1/2 -
- 11:23125. FanDuel is plus 1 1/2 - 128.
- 11:27Or if you are at a book where you don't have a + 1 1/2, you
- 11:32can get Howard on the money line at around -110 at Fanatics.
- 11:36So if you can still get a + 1 1/2, I'll pay the juice plus 1
- 11:401/2. Now at this point -125 at bed
- 11:42MGM, I'll take the point and a half again.
- 11:45Odds makers are saying it could be a very close game.
- 11:47So they lose by one. I want to, you know, cash that
- 11:49ticket if you don't have a 1 1/2 available to you, I think you go
- 11:53money line here. What I'm not going to do is lay
- 11:55-1 or -1 1/2 with Howard. So it's up to you shopping
- 11:59around, trying to get the best number.
- 12:00But you can still get plus 1 1/2 -, 125 at bet MGM.
- 12:04So that's what I would do if you haven't bet it yet.
- 12:06Now, some advantages here for Howard Better.
- 12:09Defensive efficiency. 117th versus 100.
- 12:12And 92nd for UMBC. Howard has the better offensive
- 12:16rebound percentage, 20th in the country, 1st 300 and. 40th for
- 12:20UMBC. Howard holds their opponents to
- 12:22a better effective field goal percentage, making it harder to
- 12:25make your shots. They rank 30th versus 75th for
- 12:28the Retrievers, and Howard forces more turnovers on
- 12:31defense. Believe it or not, Howard ranks
- 12:338th best in the country. Top 10 enforcing turnovers.
- 12:37UMBC ranks 200 and 72nd. I also read doing some research
- 12:41on this game I think Howard is. They've now made the.
- 12:44NCAA Tournament 3 of the last four years or something like
- 12:47that. So hey, maybe a cherry on top
- 12:49that they have some experience and the, you know, the lights
- 12:51won't be too bright for them. So Long story short, everyone's
- 12:54playing UMBC, but we can go contrarian and follow a really
- 12:57sharp reverse line move by taking Howard.
- 13:00I got Howard plus 1 1/2. Great bet splits.
- 13:02You should hopefully get 1 1/2 still at this point.
- 13:05And then, oh, by the way, 2 added bonuses, Rhythm has Howard
- 13:09-1.7 so we can get a + 1 1/2. And Rhythms got him basically
- 13:13winning by two. Great advantage there.
- 13:15And then also, I popped open Juice Reel, noticed an 11% sharp
- 13:20mush edge in favor of Howard, so 11% more of the sharper winning
- 13:23betters. Also going with Howard, those of
- 13:26you out there listening who have downloaded Juice Reel and synced
- 13:29up your books are leaning Howard.
- 13:31So first bit on the word for me, Howard, plus 1 1/2 - 120.
- 13:36I got that earlier today. But again, you can now get plus
- 13:381 1/2 - 125 at Bet MGM. But I'll take the point and a
- 13:41half just to protect ourselves here.
- 13:44So let's go, Howard. Bison.
- 13:46Now the big one tonight most heavily back game of the night,
- 13:48the late night matchup, Texas versus.
- 13:51NC State. Setting the stage for this one.
- 13:53Both these teams are 11 seeds. I don't know if they're lame to
- 13:56the slaughter. They're going to play play BYU,
- 13:58the six seed, whoever wins, but probably be a closer game than,
- 14:02you know, Howard or UMBC playing Michigan.
- 14:04But anyway. We got Texas 18 and 14 on the
- 14:07year. I was actually researching this
- 14:09game and I was, I think it was, I forgot who it was, Fran for
- 14:12Schiller or somebody. They were saying how Texas was
- 14:16the last team picked for the NCAA Tournament.
- 14:19So you think of Texas has this big powerhouse, the Longhorns,
- 14:21but they really struggled down the stretch.
- 14:24They lost five of their last six.
- 14:25They're only four games above 500.
- 14:27They lost the Ole Miss in the first round of the SEC.
- 14:29Tournament 70. 6 to 66. They're favored by 5 1/2.
- 14:34Meanwhile, NC State 20 and 13 on the.
- 14:37Year. They've also lost five of their
- 14:39last six. So I'm not playing great either.
- 14:41Just lost to Virginia. 81 to 70. Four in the ACC tournament
- 14:45quarterfinal did not cover as a 6 1/2 point neutral site dog in
- 14:50that one. Now what have we seen across the
- 14:52market? Well this game opened at
- 14:54basically a pick em. It was pretty much right down
- 14:57the middle. 5050 Pick. Em game.
- 14:59I did see. One shop that open Texas
- 15:02slightly favored like -1 -, 1 1/2.
- 15:04But most of the books I take a consensus approach and looking
- 15:08at what the market setters open. So deferring to like when I tell
- 15:11you a game open at this number, what I'm doing is taking the
- 15:14market average of all the major market setting books.
- 15:16So like the average of circa, you know, bet online.
- 15:20You know, I definitely respect the South Point or Chris or
- 15:25Bookmaker, but Circa's usually a good indicator as well.
- 15:29But anyway, open at a pick and game and the public doesn't know
- 15:32what to do. So 5050 right down the middle
- 15:35again. Texas, a big name school.
- 15:37NC State has the better. Record Publix, you know they
- 15:40can't decide who to take. Care.
- 15:43However, here's the key What do we always talk about?
- 15:455050 you. Would imagine.
- 15:47The line doesn't move at all, right?
- 15:485050 odds. Makers have balanced action.
- 15:50We talk about this all the time and you would think with an
- 15:53equal amount of tickets on both sides at DraftKings.
- 15:56Literally 5050. No reason to adjust this number,
- 15:59right? Don't.
- 16:00Shouldn't bring it up, Shouldn't bring it down.
- 16:01However, when you see a line, move.
- 16:04Despite a 5050 ticket split, that's meaningful to me, and we
- 16:07have seen line movement toward the Wolfpack here.
- 16:10Let's go NC State. I'm on NC State guys because
- 16:135050 ticket split. Open at a pick them.
- 16:16We are now seeing NC State. Move up to -1 -, 1 1/2.
- 16:21So this line is. Moving toward NC State.
- 16:23Tells us smart money, even though the public doesn't know
- 16:26what to do. Has sided with the Wolfpack
- 16:27here. Now DraftKings only 50% spread
- 16:30bets but. 54. Percent of spread dollars on NC
- 16:33State, so nothing crazy, but a little bit more money on.
- 16:36NC State. But I really like this out at
- 16:38circa. In Vegas, NC State 56.
- 16:41Percent of spread bets. 92. Percent of spread dollars so
- 16:46great low bets, higher dollar split split on the Wolfpack
- 16:49tells us big money. Out in.
- 16:50Vegas at Circa has sided. With NC State here, now Ken Palm
- 16:54is NC State. Winning by one point. 83 to 82.
- 16:59He does have the Wolfpack ranked slightly higher. 34th, 1st,
- 17:0237th. I forgot to mention this.
- 17:04With the Howard UMBC game, Ken Palm is UMBC winning by 1.
- 17:08So that's why you can get that 1 1/2 with Howard, just to protect
- 17:11yourself. I think that's worth it.
- 17:13But anyway. Because NC State is a clear.
- 17:17Favorite here I money lined. NC State I'd.
- 17:20Hate to lay a -, 1 -, 1 1/2 odds makers open to pick.
- 17:23Could be a really close game. You don't want to lay 11 or 1
- 17:271/2 win by 1, You know, push or lose your bet So I did.
- 17:29Get NC State. -114 on the money line, pretty short at FanDuel.
- 17:34Definitely shop around because most books are -115 -. 120 but
- 17:38if you look at the splits, pretty good at.
- 17:40DraftKings on NC State. 44% money line bets, 50% money line
- 17:45dollars, some other low bets, higher dollar split in favor of
- 17:48the Wolfpack, and some clear advantages that jumped out to me
- 17:51with. NC State, they have the better
- 17:53defensive efficiency, 86th. In the country versus 112th for
- 17:58the Longhorns. NC State has the better.
- 18:00Effective field goal percentage 35th versus 61st.
- 18:04They also have the better three-point shooting.
- 18:06They ranked 10th in the country versus if you look at Texas,
- 18:09they ranked 126. So hopefully NC State can knock
- 18:12down their threes. NC State.
- 18:14Has the better free throw shooting 37th in the country
- 18:17versus 71st for Texas. NC State commits.
- 18:20Fewer turnovers on offense so they again don't cough it up and
- 18:24lead to some fast breaks the other way.
- 18:26They ranked 9th best at not turning it over versus 86th for
- 18:29NC. For Texas, I should say.
- 18:32And NC State. Forces more turnovers on defense
- 18:35so they protect the ball and they pick your pocket or get a
- 18:38block shot and get out in transition.
- 18:39They rank. 91st in the. Country at forcing turnovers 300
- 18:43and 46th for Texas. They don't force a ton so pick
- 18:47em game right down the middle yet big money, especially at
- 18:50circa going Wolfpack line has gone to the Wolfpack.
- 18:53We got some good splits, bunch of stat advantages, but get a
- 18:56load of this. I popped open rhythm and rhythm.
- 18:59Likes NC State tonight? All, every single one.
- 19:03I have three spread models and three money line models.
- 19:06All six of them are lighting up on NC State.
- 19:10I have a two of them the of which are green star
- 19:13recommendation. So the good green star smart
- 19:17signals which we love to see. And I have one model that says.
- 19:21NC State should be. -2.3 but when I could, you know, marry
- 19:25the line movement, the 5050 move the ticket count versus dollars,
- 19:30all lighting up an. NC State and then go to.
- 19:31Rhythm and Rhythms got all models on NC.
- 19:34State two of which. One on the spread and one on the
- 19:36money line are lighting up as Green Star recommended plays.
- 19:39Maybe even. That more confident to play NC
- 19:42State so. 22 close games. Here guys, I don't remember the
- 19:46last time a first four match up. Both games are basically a pick
- 19:48em or a -. 1 either way, but I'm going Wolfpack here, hopefully
- 19:52to get it done -114 on the money line and Howard try to get that
- 19:56plus 1 1/2 around -120 -, 125 But let's go Wolfpack, let's go
- 20:02Bison, Howard and. NC State.

- 21:15Driven, sharp contrarian betting, focusing on line
- 21:18movement, bet split system matches, focusing on what the
- 21:21numbers are telling us, not what our butt, our butts, our bias
- 21:25and our gut instincts are telling us.
- 21:27I combine 2 words there. Yeah, don't listen to what your
- 21:29butt is telling you. Listen to what your head is
- 21:31telling you. But if this style betting has.
- 21:32Appealed to you, it's provided you a.
- 21:34Blueprint to attack the market. You enjoy the challenge of
- 21:37piercing together the puzzle, looking at all the numbers each

- 24:39episode 476 of the ASG Pod on the opening round of March
- 24:43Madness. As always guys, two final
- 24:45thoughts. One, whether I see you at the
- 24:47Borgata. And Atlantic City Twin.
- 24:49River in Rhode Island, the Brooklyn, New Hampshire,
- 24:50Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun down in Connecticut at the encore in
- 24:54Boston, plain Ridge park casino MGM Springfield or the Nash and
- 24:58my neck of the woods the closest sports book.
- 25:00To me. On the border of Massachusetts,
- 25:02in New Hampshire, or out in the desert where the true grinders
- 25:04get down. Where Billy Walter sends his
- 25:06number runners. Where the lowest juice possible
- 25:08is found at the South Point or sweat and sharp contrarian
- 25:11plays. Jumping in the stadium.
- 25:13Swimming pool. When you catch a big ticket at
- 25:14Circa, you're going to walk up to me and you're going to tell
- 25:17me Josh. Don't bet the NBA.
- 25:19That's what you're going to do. We'll RIP up that Rockets
- 25:21ticket. I honestly, I can't believe it.
- 25:22I literally said before the game I hate NBA because there's
- 25:25injuries and the line goes crazy.
- 25:27And that's exactly what happened against us.
- 25:30Is it? You know, what do you think
- 25:31every now and again, like maybe LeBron or Doncic is ruled out
- 25:34and the line goes in our favorite?
- 25:35Nope. It's always some big player on
- 25:37the team you are betting that is out and that screws you or I
- 25:40guess that's the way it always seems.
- 25:42I'll be the way guys. First ones on me, next one's on.
- 25:44You'll post about the book. Hopefully get a couple winners
- 25:47tonight in college hoops. So as always, coming off an O
- 25:49and one or A1 and OA winning night, a losing night, a hot
- 25:52streak, a cold streak, you know we can't miss and we're sharp,
- 25:55as sharp as attack or rice cold and nothing can go our way.
- 25:59We just got to stick with the model, stick with the blueprint,
- 26:02stay discipline with our bankroll management and play the
- 26:05system matches as they appear. Bypass the games with red flags,
- 26:09but get down on the games that check off our boxes.
- 26:11Games that are against the public, with the house, with the
- 26:14pros. Flat bet, avoid parlays and get
- 26:16that. CLV if we can do that.
- 26:18We're going to be successful sports bettors, so if everyone
- 26:21has a great Tuesday night, we right back at it tomorrow for
- 26:23episode 470. 7. Of the ASG podcast.
- 26:26And as always, guys, quick reminder, go join the Applebaum
- 26:30Splash Sports March Madness survivor.
- 26:33We're at 56 entries, let's get to 100 by tomorrow.
- 26:36But good luck everybody. Have a great night.
