  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome back to Wisecracks. I am traveling, which
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'll be coming back. By the time you guys see this,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I will be back in Vegas. But Randy, you are
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the Arizona-Nevada border, is that correct?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's correct. Back here down in the Lofflin area,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: enjoying the record high heat. Supposed to be 110 again today.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: So you guys had that up there, 110 up in
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: that area? In that area there?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It's even warmer than Vegas here.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't even know.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I am up in the mountains of Pennsylvania where it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: been perfect, 75 to 80 degrees, just God's country. Why
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: am I here, you may ask, people may ask? Sports betting,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because I have to leave. I have to leave the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: sports betting capital of the world, supposedly Nevada, to make legal, listen,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to make legal sports bets. When Westgate closed up, Randy,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that hurt me for player props.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: So I came to bet a lot of player props.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm finding, there's like so many casinos within, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: wrote them all down earlier.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I put them on my notepad in case I wasn't
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: going to mention them now. So ready for this? So
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you have Hollywood Sports, Valley.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Forge, Wind Creek, Parks, Rivers, Mount Airy, Resorts World, Mohegan Sun.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: All within an hour and a half drive of one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: another or something like that. Um, some are actually much closer.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I try to go to the centralized area, but, uh, yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I had to come up here anyway. I think my
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: tax is done.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I file an extension.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So I figured I would, um, do a little prop
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: trip and, and I hope I'm going to be given
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the same limits I was given this weekend.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Even if you lose sometimes, you.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Know, that they may change their mind the next week
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you go in and they may cut you down in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: half or third or fourth or whatever it may be.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Um, So you're betting in person, but you're already using
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the app too?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: In person.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: No, app's going to throw you out. App's going to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: limit you. The ones that do have apps. So I've
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: been going to most of the in-person books here.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That's a very good note for the viewers too. You're
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: better off betting in person. Then they kind of know
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: who you are. You'll get bigger limits. You can always
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: ask a little bit more. And the apps will be
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: more comfortable. But if you start to get good at this...
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they limit you to $ 20. So, yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So even I went on DraftKings last night to check
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it out to see, and, uh, yeah, there were 90,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: 90 bucks, which, you know, 90 bucks is that's the,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, less, that's more than the average bet in
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So it's good for most people. That's good.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Um, you know what though, Randy, when you visit different
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: parts of the country, I really enjoy it sometimes too.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I've been in Vegas for a while. I really don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: leave too often. Um, It's like the movie My Blue Heaven.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You ever see that with Steve Martin? I mentioned it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this morning. He plays a mob guy. I think Vinnie
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: something gets put in the witness protection program and gets
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: relocated to like upstate New York somewhere. And everyone's so
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: different than living in New York or whatever it may be. Well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing than living in Las Vegas.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Come here.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm up here in a little town. My buddy lives
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: in Troop Dunmore, but let's just call it Scranton, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Scranton area. And Scranton, Pennsylvania, up in the mountains, God's country.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Everybody's so friendly and people wave to you. Like, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: people on porch springs, porch swings. I'm looking at the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: American flags everywhere. People, you know, there's a blue collar,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: hardworking area. People are proud of their country. Proud of,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I miss that. You know, I said, my dad grew
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: up on the Ohio river, a little country town and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: everyone waves to you. And it's just so friendly and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's just a nice, nice area. compared to a lot
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of the craziness in this country today. They almost got me.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Two little girls were on a porch swing. They waved
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to my friend who was in his car. I was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in my car. I didn't know what to do. Didn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: know what to do. I even called my wife. What
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the F is wrong with me?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Wave back.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You're so nervous.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You're so nervous to wave to kids or anything. They
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: got this media that makes you go so crazy. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was like, I was embarrassed for a minute. And I wave,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of course I wave back. So it's harmless.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I like to go up there and go to the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Pocono race one of these times. I'm sure you're pretty
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: close to that race track.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Is that the Pocono for the NASCAR?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're far away from that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I'm right there. I'm right there. But,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you know, it's funny. I talked about this on Visa
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: this morning.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: When you go to these areas here, the little different
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: dialects and the way they say like wash. Like, yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you gotta wash your clothes. They say warsh. They put
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a W-A-R in there, warsh. And they have, it's like
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you go to like certain parts of Brooklyn and instead
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of saying the toilet, they say the turlet.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And they put an R in there, the turlet. Uh, yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: which I, I love it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's, it's unique, uh, dialect. Randy, where you're from, you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: have that, I'm sure, right? You have people, uh, don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you guys like eat those certain kind of fish? I've
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: seen a couple of specials, um, like the, the ice
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: fishing and different things like you, you have.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Uh, that might be that might be northern minnesota i'm thinking.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah you know north dakota has only in lena
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and the ludafisk and.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Less uh that's it ludafisk is it that's.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It norwegian yeah yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: It's norwegian my wife is half norwegian my.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Wife is nor my wife is uh half norwegian yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: She my mom's side was pretty much 100 or pretty
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: close to it and then my mckay side is uh
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: pretty mixed. We even got Native American blood in us. Wow.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So you could probably get to bet in those Native
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: American casinos before me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: That's wonderful. Randy, what kind of fish, what is that fish?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: It's a, it's like a, it's a, it's a acquired taste.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Am I saying it right?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Ludafisk. Yeah. It's a different kind of tasting fish.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Of course. Do you eat it? We really like the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: walleye and the pike.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Walleye pike.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The walleye is really a, the greatest fish they're freshwater
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: fishers i think eating perch as well is very good
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: northern pike have have a little bit more bones but.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Uh now will you you'll go out fishing for that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: though and you'll eat it grill it up and like
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: my grandmother used to take it and cut it and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: slice it up through on the grill.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah in fact if you bring a pan just cook
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it right up there on the shore even.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: That's my that's my dad's side they would cook the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: shore lunch.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. How can it get fresher than that? Well, Randy,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: speaking of fresh, we got a fresh loss last week.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: J.H. was at the game, Northwestern game.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And after that game, I seen a couple people say something,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and I actually said something I haven't said to you yet.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I don't blame you if you don't ever want to
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: give out a pick again. And we just talk shop.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I don't blame you because it's a– It's just that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the business is, it's a thankless business. You're doing it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: for nothing, trying to help people out, trying to have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a better view than they do because you're winning sports
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: better in lifetime. And we know that from just getting
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: eliminated or banned from different sports books. But yet some people,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they just have nothing to do. They want to go
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: after us. So that was one of the terrible beat
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for me, for us. I think they were down by nine.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Late in the game, taking 13 and a half and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: even 14 and a half at game time. Down by nine,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: kicking a field goal on the 20-yard line. And with
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a minute change left, they missed a chip shot, 35
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: or 38-yard field goal. Missed a field goal. And the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: other team's trying to run the clock out. First place
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in the scrimmage breaks an 80-yard run.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I personally think that was even a worse loss. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: had Western Michigan money line at Kelsey. Have you heard
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of that debacle this week?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I got the $ 50 rebate because they paid me to start.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: They gave me $ 50 good, good faith money or whatever,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: since they paid me. But, uh, so I think that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: a worse beat because we missed the field goal and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: they had the big long run, which we could have
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: caught them and tackled them. Then the game would have
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: been over, uh, then the Hail Mary that, uh, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the extra second, that Western Michigan lot. So I took,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and that was almost back to back going on simultaneously
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: when that happened. So, uh, took two of those in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a row. So, uh, that was a little rough stretch
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to my Saturday there had an all right winter there
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with Idaho state and Tarlington as well. So, uh, you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a couple of nice ones to start the day, but, uh, Unfortunately, uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: we still have one FCS play here against, uh, uh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: number one. Uh, we're going to take number one, uh,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Montana state here traveling to our favorite place, Reno, Nevada.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Unfortunately, uh, crack and I love Reno, Nevada, but, uh, Reno,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Nevada doesn't always like us anymore with the offers and stuff.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: We used to get there was really good at one time, but, uh,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: beautiful area like tahoe recommend.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I love tahoe oh yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah one of the nice place on earth in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: united states in fact along with deadwood south dakota which
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: you haven't been to but uh so we're taking montana
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: state small favorite number one ranked montana state minus two
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and a half against a bigger school okay wolf pack so.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: When does that game go randy when does that go.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Saturday Saturday night, Saturday night around five o'clock, I believe.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Well, there's another play. You come right out with a play.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I was going to save that for the end to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: see if you wanted to even do it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: But of course.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Randy, last night's game here, we're in Pennsylvania where I am.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: There were my friend down that that's I'm staying in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: his house. He took three and a half at Penn
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: national on his app. So Penn national must be an
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: app because he took it on his app plus three
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and a half. There was three and a half out
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: there yesterday, two o'clock in the afternoon and six hours
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: before game time. Of course, there was minus threes all
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: over the screen too. I seen four, three and a half.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So I seen hard rock.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I think it was rivers. I seen plenty of three
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and a half.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody should have lost that game, that opening game last night. Nobody,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: because that at worst, you're supposed to push the game.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: There's no one that should have lost. Unless you're betting
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: money line, New England. There's really nobody that should have
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: lost that game. If you're betting the spread, if you did,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you're really limiting yourself to a sports book.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Where you should have multiple sports books if you're betting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say if you're betting $ 50 or over
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a game, $ 100, absolutely you should have more than one out.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Shame on you if you don't. Do you agree?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you have Penn National? Actually, it's a very
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: good app for incentive program. I recommend people getting that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: They offer a lot of free bets. They're with the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: score now. They were with Barstow. That's how I won
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: my last vehicle, was betting through Barstow, thanks to Dave
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Portnoy and company there. That was how I got my
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: last Mercedes through betting.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Give us an example. Give the people an example.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: How did you get that car?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So much volume?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They were giving away too much incentive for betting on
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the app there that you could accrue so many points.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Penn National was set up with them and you could
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: accrue so many points by betting. They had it way
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: too high. You can give them your free play too
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: on your on your card through betting. And, uh, I,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I accrued enough, you know, they were letting me bet
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: pretty big limit back then. And I bet enough volume that,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: and with my casino player at the Ameristar in the,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: in the place where I was in Colorado, I was
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: able to get a free lease for a, for a year.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And then the second year I qualified again, they let
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: me buy the Mercedes at a nice discounted rate. Plus
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: they gave me extra free play. So, uh, Thanks to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Dave Portnoy. Like I say, Dave Portnoy's company got me
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: my latest vehicle, and that's what I'm driving around with now.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's funny because he bet that yesterday at Penn National,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: three and a half, and I thought he won. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he decided to say, ah, I actually lost because I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: parlayed it with a player prop.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, wait, timeout.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: What do you mean you parlay with a player prop?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Like this guy, he should know better too. Like he's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: been around me 35 years. What are you saying?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: He said, yeah, I watched it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I watched the Portnoy on, I watched Barstool and that's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: what I go by.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I had no.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Idea that the public really goes by the apps and the,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: these apps like Barstool and different ones that, you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: are recommending games and parlays and, It is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: What it is. I was pretty surprised by it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: If he's betting that, what chance does a non-educated public,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and I mean by non-educated, maybe they don't follow guys
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: like us, they don't follow advantage sports betting, positive EV.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So it just made me think, wow, that's just amazing
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that he actually was rooting for New England, but he
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: didn't get Drake May over something. And that's the reason
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: why he lost. And it was kind of shocking to me, but.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It seems like the new world of betting is
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: addicted to the same game parlay so much that you hear,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's all you hear about these companies and they're making,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you know, that's, that's where they're making that extra hold
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: is through the same game parlays really became popular. There's,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you know, some ways of finding some little bit of
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: edge doing same game parlays, but then again, the rake
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: on them are pretty high. So I, Stick with straight bets,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: stick with two-teamers, but you tell people that and they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: see the big payout and they just go crazy and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: want to try to make small money into big money
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: 50% to 60%, 70% almost, one of the apps make
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: their money off parlays.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I was actually surprised to see my buddy do that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: It's funny here. As you can see, I'll give you
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: guys a tour around the room. My buddy's a mob historian.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I'll show you some stuff. Well, first off, that basketball
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: there is signed by Kobe Bryant. I actually got that sign.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I gave him that. I got
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: him that basketball. One of the owners of Pinnacle Sports
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: gave him that. And after I introduced him, there is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the Sopranos. And you can see who's sitting right in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the middle of them. That's me next to Vincent Pastore.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Who just passed away. As you look at this table here,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: three of them died here.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Tony Sirico. Vincent Pastor, James Gandolfini. That's me there with
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the whole cast of the surprise. There's all their autographs
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: are on here too. I gave one, I just give
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it to my, my buddy's a kind of a story.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And as you can see, he got Doyle Brunson and, and, uh,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: look at all his stuff. His, this is all mob
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: books and books on poker. And I mean, this, this, this,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he is a real mafia historian here. Uh, as you
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: could see all these different things, there's him with, uh,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: What's her name?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: She played Janice on The Sopranos.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Anyway. I recommend anybody that takes a trip to down
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in Vegas, go to the Mob Museum, spend a couple hours.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: You know, you won't take it all in, but I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: guess they got a Scoot Museum. They didn't have that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: when I first went, but that Mob Museum is pretty
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: neat in Vegas as well.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a shame today at the Mob Museum,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: which I would love to see. It's funny that you're
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: mentioning that. Today at the Mob Museum, in Las Vegas. Um,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: they have, is it today or tomorrow?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: No, it's the 12th. It's the 12th.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That they have, um, this guy that wrote the book,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Westies and the Westies, uh, Irish book on the Irish,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: on the Irish gang.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And it's really, really an amazing thing that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: They're having, uh, September 10th.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Is there free for all members here? And it's TJ
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: English who wrote the Westies book. He's going to be
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: at the mob museum today, uh, Mob historian. Boy, I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: would have loved to have seen this guy today. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: never got to meet him, but I read a couple
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of his books. This one is respected organized crime historian T.J.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: English returns to the subject of his first book, The
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Bloody Saga of the Westies Irish American Gang that became
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: one of New York's most notorious underworld outfits under the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: leadership of Jimmy Coonan and Mickey Featherstone. Jimmy Coonan is
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: trying to get himself out of jail right now. But, yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: there's the guy I'm talking about, T.J.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: English there.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And, you know, that book was so good. And I'll
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: tell you why it's relative to me. I lived in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a little town called Kingsburg, New Jersey. And Kingsburg, that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Jersey Shore boardwalk town, they had a house there. Jimmy
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Coonan and his wife was renting. I think they were
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: renting a house on Forest Avenue right where my grandfather
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: lived next door. And I remember my mom saying that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: she used to see Edna, his wife, pushing a baby
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: carriage up. And we got to live in a little
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: one-mile small town, Irish, Catholic, Italian, Jewish town. Really great,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: great town to live in when I was a kid.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I absolutely loved it. We knew everyone. Boardwalk, beach town. But, yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: they lived in that town.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: They used to actually, you know, go to Hell's Kitchen
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: from there. And I knew a lot about that, the Westies.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So that book was so good. I appreciated it so much.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: It was one of the members of the Westies lived
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: right on my block. Two blocks away is where Coonan lived.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Of course, we didn't know how deadly of a people
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they were. Paul Castellano actually hired them to work for
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the Gambino family. That's how Ruthless they were. And like
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I said, he's trying to he's actually trying to get out.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Of jail now, though.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, Mob Museum really shocked me to how good
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it was. I think the Mob Museum, they did such
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a great job with that. I thought it was going
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to be kind of like, you know, gimmicky and not.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I love the Mob Museum.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They the self-guided tour, the audio tour and the different
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: things they have in there. You can make a whole
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: day of that if that's your if that's your thing. Uh,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's a, it's a great, great thing to do. Randy,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk some subjects with you before we
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: get into some picks. Did you hear what happened at
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: stations casinos with their $ 70 million stock giveaway?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: You hear about that?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Fertitta's like to take care of their employees and, uh,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: they're really good about doing that. And I, I heard
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit about it. A friend of mine used
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to work there. He, uh, he put it in one
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of our chats. So I heard a little bit about it, but, uh,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: fill me in.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm looking, I'm just, uh, I'm looking here
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: to see what the amount is. $ 70 million. Okay.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Workers will receive $ 1, 000 in stock.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: For every year of service.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: With longtime employee Ida Johnson set to receive $ 49, 000 for
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: her 49 years of working. Nearly 10,000 employees are partaking
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in this 50th anniversary. The award comes after Supreme Court
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: rejected Red Rock's appeal over obligation to recognize and bargain
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: with the Culinary Union.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, so.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Very, very, very, very interesting here that they have given
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: all this money away. I had multiple texts. Multiple people
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: have texted me on this, as you can see here.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: They also honored some team members who have been there
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: since the company since the 70s with additional gifts.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, pretty cool. though look at that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: That's uh i mean i talk good and bad i
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: listen they don't take my bets over the app which
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: i'm sure they don't take your bets over the app
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: or they give you one bet a day or some
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: kind of rule uh but good good for these long-time
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: employees good good for them um I'm Warren sharp texting
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: me right now. Do you have access to FanDuel?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: You're in Pennsylvania, but I don't, I'm not on the app.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: So I will say later. I will, I may go
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: out and see some, but I don't have access. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: really don't bet on the app.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I heard FanDuel is okay on the don't, I'm just
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: telling them, don't worry. Just release it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So Warren, Warren has some good, some good information.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Too bad about stations. They should give us a hundred
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: dollars free play for every year. We've been a member.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Wow. That would be the way, you know, that's the
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: smart thing.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: They would, they would definitely be getting.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: A portion of the money, a large portion of their
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: money back. How about that?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Like you've seen a couple of weeks ago when I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: put that on my Twitter, I got a couple million
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: views on treasure Island. They were trying to do that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: for a week, but they did it for the first
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: weekend on the first week only.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You didn't get that at all. Randy.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I wasn't able to make it to Vegas. I didn't
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: figure it was worth the special trip to Vegas out
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: of my way to get there for that and wait. Well,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to wait because you said you could
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: have swiped at the kiosk.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you had an existing card. If you had
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: an existing card, I'm told you could have swiped at
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the kiosk.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Now, they need to do something, but of course, old
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Ruffin there, he's not the best, most generous casino owner.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: That was a good... That was a big thing. That
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: was a big thing. Hey, did you see.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Usually I'm not paying attention to these type of things,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: but some like multiple people said something to me and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I looked at the whole video. Did you see Sydney
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Sweeney's ad for Novig? I think it's called Novig. Did
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you see that yesterday?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I have not seen that. No.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Did you hear about it even or anything?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I heard a little bit about it. Yeah. She's a,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: you know, attractive lady. She is. She is.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, Yeah, look at her sitting on top of
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the basketball court there. Oh, did she sit on there?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: She's sitting on a basketball hoop naked. Some of the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: things that she did on this video, I mean, obviously, guys,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: people love pretty girls on ads. This one actually surprised me.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: She kept on talking about sports and sports betting and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: wearing very little. My mother used to say, My old-fashioned
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Italian mom, she said, Billy, they leave nothing to the imagination,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like they're supposed to.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: She is right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: This was very... But anyway, yeah, so her ad campaign
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of working for, I guess, No Big. I don't have
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: No Big, but I heard of it. I just don't
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: know really what it is. Obviously, it's a prediction market.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Am I right? Is that what No Big is?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is No Big. Yeah, there used to be
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: low VIG, which was with BetOnline. I get them mixed up,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: but now there's a no VIG. That's one of these
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: prediction markets, which I'm starting to use a little bit
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: more this year.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, good.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Arizona. And I'll keep you guys updated. But so far,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: so good with them. Helps me not have to find
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: extra people to use some of these ones where we're
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: getting limited all the time.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Okay. In a spot to sure make a lot of people, men.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Blush, the actress scantily clad, using basketballs, footballs, and other
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: sporting equipment to cover this from being an X-rated video.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: So there you have it. I noticed that.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: All right, Randy, next subject. Sharp money fades Seahawks as...
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the Circa sees Patriots action. This was last night. So
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: sharp bettors were backing New England and then Seattle went
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: down to three. We talked a little bit about this earlier,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to talk about Circa in general. Circa
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: faces over a million dollars in Raiders liability, but remains
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: unconcerned about a championship payout.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think they have to worry about the Raiders winning.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know your, your buddy, J JT, the brick.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: He came after me last week.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. He got upset. Not at you though. Did
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: he get upset at you?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: A little bit. He says, says, remind that guy that
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you have on crack, man, that the Raiders have this, this,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: this player.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, he did.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: You know, it was fun. I like JT. I like it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: But I know he's, ultimate Raider fan.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, he called, he's on the sideline. He knows everyone
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: on the team. I mean, he interviews them all. So yeah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Um, I responded to him, but he hasn't, he hasn't
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: responded to me back. I.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I think he asked for your, he asked where you live.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: He asked for your address.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: So, all right, let's come on now. JT. Well, uh,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: We'll have dinner together and talk about the Raiders.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Nice, nice, nice, nice.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: So anyway, there was in the sharp money backs, the
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Patriots here.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So I bet you the books didn't do good on
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that game last night because there was three, when it
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: lands on three and the line is three, they had
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: three and a half in the afternoon, the day before
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and four, they opened up five and a half.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: So, That's a guillotine punch to them right at the start.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You have to get out that change bucket.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I got that bucket back in Vegas.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I can pull it out and I'll see what I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: can collect for the bookmakers.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Kind of feel bad for them in general.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Play some Alice Cooper.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Since you don't like to go to rock concerts anymore,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I invite you to.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Alice Cooper I've seen open up for I think they
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: opened up for Motley Crue when I seen him. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: think he was very good. He opened up for Motley Crue.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I seen him open up like 10 years ago.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Did he do the Guillotine Act?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: He had it on stage. Yep, he had it on
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: stage for him.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. That's when you said it. Friday morning's game
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: in Australia, which will be tonight for us. They have
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: a game September 10th. 8.35 p.m. on Netflix tonight. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just realized that. 5.35 your time. So that game is tonight,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and it's in Melbourne.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Do you have anything on that, by the way, Randall?
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Nothing really?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's one of my plays. Plus four, San Francisco.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, we can't get that out in time.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I thought we were going to do the show yesterday
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: when it was plus four.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: We were going to. Is there fours out there right now?
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I don't have the lines in front of me.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: There might be one or two rogue ones. Okay. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: still like it. You know, we're doing the mob theme here. Uh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know, but the Bosa brothers, great,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: great grandfathers, Tony Ocardo.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: He was second to Al Capone. So, uh, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: he's very famous. He's very famous for being a clean mobster.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Never got accused, never spent one day in prison for
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: his whole, for his whole tenure in the mob. So, uh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: so he got away with everything and, uh, No, but
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I like it here. I think they have the travel advantage.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: They talked a lot about that. And this is when
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to get them totally healthy in the division game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: And then we've got an overpriced Rams team here coming in.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: They're going to be overpriced to begin the season in
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of these spreads. So I like the division
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: rival here. I like getting the points. And hopefully we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: get another game like we did last night. I think
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: it will be more high scoring than last night. Exactly.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: no low scoring, and hopefully the quarterbacks stay healthy. You know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: that Darnold injury was, you know, kind of deflating for
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Seattle betters and me to start the game. But, you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: that's key to having a good backup. Worked out pretty
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: well there. So, no, I like San Fran plus four,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and that's my first play of the week here.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: In the mob matchup. Hopefully we turn out like Al
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Capone and not like Bugs Moran.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Uh, Al Capone recruited a Cardo into his crew. He
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: was one of his top hit men and he was also,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: his nickname was known as Joe batters. So, uh, even
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: though you said in his spending time in jail, I'm
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: sure he did one or two things that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Might've been a little unethical in his life.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: So that, that's kind of interesting. You mentioned that.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: They say when he was in charge, him and Paul Rica, that, uh,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: that he used to go in the Cubs locker room
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: before the game and said, boys, you're not winning today.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: wow too much money on the cubs or whatever or
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: the white socks either or probably and said boys uh
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna win this game today.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Randy how do you know all this stuff you're a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: mob historian we didn't even know you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Were i like the chicago mob and i like some
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: of the new york you know the stuff with lefty
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: left our lucky luciano and uh You know, some of
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that stuff I've studied quite a bit, so I know
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit about it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Randy, I want to get your opinion on
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: this week's weekly WagerWire segment.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: WagerWire.com on the WagerWire app.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: This is a three-teamer, $ 25 to win $ 9. 55 over on
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the WagerWire marketplace. Original odds are plus 38 to 1.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The first two legs have cashed of this segment.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Timberwolves, he had in the game versus Atlanta. He
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: won that one.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And then Arizona to reach the final four. Those two
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: are favorites, though. Minus 245, minus 135. The last leg
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is the Toronto Blue Jays to win the World Series,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: which is going.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: To have a tough time with that one. So the original.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: bet of $ 25 to win $ 9.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: 55.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: The cash out offers $ 21, offering him a $ 4 loss. However,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: WagerWire giving a little bit of a profit.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: $ 32.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So as you could see, the current Toronto World Series
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: odds is actually up from the 16-1 that he took,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: or 15-1 he took it at.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: You can get a lot better now on that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: So the question becomes, does this guy cut his losses
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and be happy? He can essentially, let's just call it,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: break even on his original stake. Or does he ride
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it out and hope Toronto is able to snag the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: last playoff spot?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Now, right away, I say....
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: If you can cash it out and get even, you
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: could probably get better than that 15 to 1. Am
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I thinking right, Randy? So that's what you'd probably do.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: That's my suggestion. I'm sure it's going to be Randy's too.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: You're not chugging a beer in the middle of WagerWire, right?
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: No.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Okay. Red Bull. There you go. All right. Oof. They're
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: tough too. Can't do them. Anyway.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: All right. Cheers. More power to you. or my dear
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: park water. Uh, but anyway, all right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I would think to cash this out, if
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you can, if you could sell this and maybe you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: want to put something to saw buck or a double
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: saw buck on the current Toronto blue Jays, which I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: don't think have a chance to win the world series.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: In my own opinion, you have, you think anything about Toronto?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I would probably just cash it out
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: and move on from it. I think is the best,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: probably the best option. You know, we don't usually recommend
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: cashing out, but, uh, You know, that one, if you
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: can break even on it, you know, I don't– the
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: current odds of Toronto making the playoffs is probably, you know,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a little too far for that. And like you said,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: just to– if you like Toronto that much, just cash
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: out and re-bet it and you're getting a better deal.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I would– right away, that's what I would say.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So there's a suggestion from me, both me and Randy
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and I, Cash that out. If you want to throw
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: something back on the current odds, shop around. You can
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: get some pretty good odds there. WagerWire.com, WagerWire app. Randy,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: let's go to our next subject here. A disgruntled gambler
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: who went into a casino, pointed a gun at the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: staff after a massive loss in Cincinnati, was sentenced to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: 52 years in jail. They are looking to give this
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: guy a, they're making an example out of him. Devin
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: O'Connor wrote this article for casino.org. When I seen this,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I was taken back a little bit. 52 years just
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: for going in the airport. look, granted, I'm, I'm all
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: for it. You want to, you can't let people get
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: away with this. It'll give other people examples. Um, Cincinnati
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: man spent in the next 52 years in Indiana prison
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for holding up a Hollywood casino, Lawrenceburg at gunpoint.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Uh, and it even says taking a hostage. So, um,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: at this standoff.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this, this guy, and he looks just like, wow,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you could just doesn't look like a guy that you,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that that's going to hold up a casino. So they, uh,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: They obviously have him there, as you can see. That's what, yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: he held up, that's one of the employees. He's the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: guy in the black holding up one of the employees.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: This article, I'm going to send JH a link there. Yeah, no,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: this is an out-of-control gambler here that they're making an
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: example of him for sure. So that's something I wanted
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to share too. Randy, this is slots for you and I.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Last subject before we get into your picks.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to add some to that. When was the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: last public hanging? In the 1910s or whatever?
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Randy, you probably know more about that than me. They're
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: always in there over in Deadwood.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: They should probably bring some public hangings back into society,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: even though they wouldn't allow it today. But that would
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: maybe stop some of this stuff.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Randy, I want to go. last thing I want to,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: last subject matter. This is about the near misses on
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: slot machines. So like, let's say you get like a
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: red seven, red seven, red seven right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: There on the last reel.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Red seven, red seven, red seven down, red seven up,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: just missing by one. This is, it's bothersome to me
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: when I see this and it should be more of a,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I know it's, you asked the question, aren't slot machines
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: supposed to be random? Well, Random doesn't mean every symbol
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: has the same chance of appearing. That just gives you
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the false sense into our brain of, hey, you're getting close,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: which is total bullshit.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I got something for you.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. I knew you were looking for something on
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: your phone. What do you got?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. You're not going to probably be
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: able to see this, but this is a $ 10 million
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: scare where I hit the first four megabucks on this
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: machine here and the fifth one didn't come in.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: So, no, that's the megabucks. I know the game, but.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: There's those little megabuck symbols that's on there with the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: wolf run.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Where are they at?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Just point to them so we can see them. Because
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I even know that game. Oh, is it the little.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I see it, I see it. I just seen it
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: when you pulled it away. Yeah, put it up a
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I see them. So, you missed by one.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I missed by one on the last one. On
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the last one. It didn't pay anything for the first four. Wow.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: First four, you get nothing. Yeah.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: So that might be one of those teaser type deals
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: because I did get that a little bit later as
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: well on that same machine. I'm like, dang, I'm one
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: off of 10 million.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Now you could see what they did here. They, they,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: they put rats to do it, to do an experiment.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, 2011 neuroscientists, uh, at Oxford built a literal rack casino,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: three flashing lights, replacing slot reels, uh, Three lights and
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: they got a jackpot and a pellet of food.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Anything else was zilch.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Pressing the lever after the non-wind triggered a time penalty
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: because even the rats needed consequences. The rats did something
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: very human. They hammered the level after near misses.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Two lights, even though it punished them. Why?
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Because their dopamine neurons treated it almost like a win
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: to them. So when drugged with these dopamine-boosting compounds, the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: rat chased the near-misses even harder. Strangely enough, birds didn't
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: fall for the scam. And this team of neuroscientists at
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the University of Florida ran the same concept with pigeons.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: They didn't care about the near-misses either. They actually avoided them.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: But yet, the unbelievable, the mammals... evolved the delusion almost
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: winning when the birds did not. It's very interesting how
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this just shows you when there's near misses, you say.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Man, the machine's hot. It's hot though. I feel it.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: It's hot because of those near misses. And it's just
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a dopamine scare. It's total BS. Nice article here by
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Corey Levitan, who is a great writer, another writer that
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate. So Um, Randy, I guess I am
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: ready for you. What do you got for us for
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: football for this weekend?
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I gave away the San Fran. I gave away
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: the Montana state. That'll be the college play of the week.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: And then I gave the San Fran. That was one
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: of my NFL. I have two more NFL for you.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: If you want to hear the explanation of why I
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: like here. And, uh, one might've moved again. And yesterday
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I thought we were doing the show and, uh, I
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: actually drove across the border here to get this play,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and one advantage of me living here on the border
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: of Arizona and Nevada is I can quickly drive over
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: to Nevada and get Carolina plus three and a half
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: against the Chicago Bears.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. Carolina's a very tough home team, and they're competitive
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: when they play these supposedly higher-up, better teams that should
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: beat them. Especially at home, they have a very good
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: home record in this situation. And we're getting a home
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: dog here in the first week. And I'm mostly betting
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: against the Chicago team that I'm down on this year.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: You know, their offensive line had a retirement in it.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: And they're ranked one of the lower offensive lines in
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: my rankings. And that could regress that powerful offense that
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: they need to have because their defense is one of
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the worst defenses. in the league that exceeded last year
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: only because of turnover luck and a lot of, a
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: lot of turnovers. They, I think they were one of
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: the top teams of plus minus. So I think that's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: going to regress for them as well this year, along
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: with a tougher schedule. So mark me down the Carolina
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Panthers plus three and a half and a close game
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: there in Raleigh, North Carolina.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. That's good. You got it. You got, um, you
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: got one more.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: You said, Yep, and, you know, I would have had
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Seattle last night to give out to the crew, but
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: they already pushed for us, so we don't have to
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: worry about that one. We're going to move on to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: what would have been my fourth play here, and that's
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints. Now, you might get better than
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: this at post, but right now it's seven flat. You
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: might get a seven even money. You might even get
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: that rogue seven and a half in this game. because
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: people like the Detroit lions coming into the season, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: what they don't realize here, we got, uh, a hot
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: team in new Orleans who all performed expectation last year
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: and covered seven out of their last games, eight games
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: going into, uh, the season last year. And I see
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: that momentum continuing for this team. And, uh, Detroit had
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to reshuffle their offensive line. You know, they have a
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator as well. They did draft an offensive lineman,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: but having to reshuffle this offensive line could pose trouble
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: for their statute quarterback, Jared Goff. And they have a
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: very shaky back end to their defense. And their defense
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: is rated a little low for me. So that could
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: contest well for us getting plus 7, 7.5 with a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: team that could win this game outright and destroy some
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: hopes here for the Detroit Lions fans to start the season.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Pesky New Orleans team, which I'm kind of high on
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: this year, getting plus 7 in this situation. Looks like
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: a good spot here in the Mortar City.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Randy, I heard something on VSIN this morning. Elio Fustel
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: was saying about teasers. It's a good segment. If you
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: get to watch it later on, he was saying how
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: they're more playable than people think.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Did you hear that this morning after I was on?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I listened to Elihu.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: What'd you think about that? That was interesting. I always
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: think how bad teasers are.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I don't really look at it, but from his standpoint, he,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: he showed some math behind certain teasers can still be good.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: He's kind of expanding in the little, uh, traditional Wong
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: type teaser thing. And that was a very good segment.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: In fact, Gil could have probably had him on for
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: a second segment there.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I like him. They should have him on for 30 minutes.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That guy is a, exceptional at what he does and
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: worked at Pinnacle and very, very well respected by me
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: and many others in the business.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Definitely. Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: He had some interesting things to say, what percentage you
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: need to win one of the sides to beat teasers.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: But he also said, Certain sports books have certain kind
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of teasers that are more beatable than others and expanded
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: on that. I recommend anyone look at this. It's only
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: a 10 minute segment. I recommend anyone go back and
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: take a peek at that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: That was, it was that, it was that good.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: But well, Randy, I appreciate you coming on here, giving
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: out some plays to the, to our guys and look
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: forward to have you back next week.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I am heading back to Vegas, buddy. All right. I'll
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: talk to you.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: All right. I'll see you next week back in Vegas
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and good luck everybody out there this week.
