- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome back to Wiscracks. Bill Krackenberger, John Randa
- 0:03Speaker 1: over here at the Fabulous Circa sportsbook Boy. Last week,
- 0:07Speaker 1: the buzz was in the air. It's crazy during Betbash,
- 0:11Speaker 1: all the people that were here for this contest and
- 0:13Speaker 1: this the big of course convention this year. It's a
- 0:16Speaker 1: little more buy, a little subtle, however, still in the air,
- 0:20Speaker 1: getting grabbed all over the place, people asking questions. That's
- 0:23Speaker 1: why I'm going to have the proxy on talking a
- 0:26Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit more, John. One of the
- 0:28Speaker 1: big stories making headways this week. I got one point
- 0:31Speaker 1: one million views on a tweet the last two days
- 0:34Speaker 1: about Treasure Island giving away two hundred bucks to anyone
- 0:38Speaker 1: that comes in. You could be an existing card member,
- 0:41Speaker 1: you could be a new card member. Anyone that stands
- 0:44Speaker 1: online get a card. But there's a little there's a
- 0:47Speaker 1: couple other moves this. Now you're gonna get free play.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I suggested going to the counter, and I'm sorry, I
- 0:53Speaker 1: suggested going to the kiosk first. If you have an
- 0:56Speaker 1: existing card with a pin number, They loaded every single
- 1:01Speaker 1: card so you don't have to go a wait on
- 1:02Speaker 1: that line. Go to the kiosk and then you could
- 1:04Speaker 1: see every every card. You have to just opt in
- 1:07Speaker 1: for the offer to two hundred bucks. So as soon
- 1:11Speaker 1: as I put it up on Twitter for the two hundred,
- 1:13Speaker 1: John was one of the first people that ran over
- 1:14Speaker 1: here to get the two hundred you had. I heard rumor,
- 1:17Speaker 1: that's what I heard.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I did not make it over there.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Oh okay, I know the douche. You know you're trying
- 1:22Speaker 1: to get willing? Is it Monday to Wednesday? Now today
- 1:27Speaker 1: we fill on Wednesday. You could go over today till
- 1:30Speaker 1: three am, I'm told. However, it's supposed to be up
- 1:33Speaker 1: until September. I think they gave away so much money.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I mean there was thousands of people. Now just think
- 1:40Speaker 1: about what I just said. There's thousands of people that
- 1:43Speaker 1: didn't company millions of dollars they had to give away
- 1:46Speaker 1: here right now. I think they are the reason to
- 1:50Speaker 1: do it is to maybe ramp up their database because
- 1:53Speaker 1: hard Rock's coming next door, and if they have your
- 1:57Speaker 1: email and your name, maybe you stay at Treasure Isle
- 2:00Speaker 1: because you want to go to Harrock, or maybe you
- 2:02Speaker 1: stay at hard Rock, but they give you something to
- 2:04Speaker 1: come in for a Treasure Island. So I was listen,
- 2:09Speaker 1: I'm tough on Treasure Island. I'm tough on I'm tough
- 2:12Speaker 1: on some of the management there. But hey, this is
- 2:14Speaker 1: a great deal for the customers and the people. And
- 2:17Speaker 1: Phil Ruffin, I'm sure how to approve this. So good
- 2:20Speaker 1: for him. So I talked even bad about places. This
- 2:22Speaker 1: is a real good thing for the public, a good
- 2:25Speaker 1: thing for people. And it's the you know this, this
- 2:27Speaker 1: particular one. You can have an existing card. But it's
- 2:30Speaker 1: the reasons why I say, never get a card and
- 2:33Speaker 1: a casino unless you're getting something. Don't just walk in
- 2:36Speaker 1: because you want a pretty orange card or white or
- 2:38Speaker 1: yellow or rainbow car, whatever colors they are. Oh it's
- 2:41Speaker 1: a nice car. I like to have it for my
- 2:43Speaker 1: collection of cars. People collect cards. No, wait till you're
- 2:46Speaker 1: given something or you get something. So there was a
- 2:49Speaker 1: casino in Illinois recently. If you signed up you got
- 2:53Speaker 1: up to a two thousand dollars rebate. Wow. Oh oh
- 2:56Speaker 1: they had to get pounded by the APIs the advantage players. Yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 1: the rio had the five hundred dollars. When I put
- 3:02Speaker 1: it on my Twitter, I got millions of your four
- 3:04Speaker 1: million views on my Twitter for that. Anyone that has
- 3:08Speaker 1: an existing diamond card, or you can go to the
- 3:10Speaker 1: rio and get to give you five hundred and free play.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Lots of people right now Yamava in in La Yamava
- 3:17Speaker 1: has a five hundred dollars match up to five hundred
- 3:19Speaker 1: bucks they'll give you based on if you get a
- 3:22Speaker 1: if you get a mailing from someone else and an
- 3:25Speaker 1: offer for up to five hundred bucks, you take that
- 3:27Speaker 1: offer to Yamava and they'll match it and give you
- 3:30Speaker 1: five hundred and free play. I did it. I did it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: A bunch of us did it. Yeah, So it's just
- 3:36Speaker 1: never get a card. You and I. John ly I'm
- 3:39Speaker 1: not gonna say what casino right now. John Lyon went
- 3:42Speaker 1: to We traveled to California recently.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun, it was nice.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Yeah. And to get like a guaranteed thousand dollars yeah,
- 3:49Speaker 1: and it was worth much more. Even that's another thing too,
- 3:52Speaker 1: So some people don't realize, like I know, it's a
- 3:57Speaker 1: trek to go back and forth, but if you your girlfriend,
- 4:01Speaker 1: you know, your your your kids, or your you guys
- 4:03Speaker 1: all go together, it could work a lot of money
- 4:06Speaker 1: for these kind of deals, and they pop up all
- 4:08Speaker 1: over the country. I'm not gonna be going on a
- 4:10Speaker 1: plane or something. It's not really worth to do it,
- 4:12Speaker 1: but there's some great deals John, you know, for people
- 4:15Speaker 1: that that you know, it really is. So I talked
- 4:19Speaker 1: about living in I think I talked about this last week.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I say, you know, living in Las Vegas is great
- 4:24Speaker 1: during football season, but probably not the answer. And I say,
- 4:28Speaker 1: not the answer for someone like myself that wants the
- 4:30Speaker 1: bet sports for a living, because we're losing so many outs.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I lost the Westgate recently. We filmed with the west Gate.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Caesar's in there right now booking the bets, which everyone
- 4:39Speaker 1: has Caesars already. So we lose the Westgate as a
- 4:42Speaker 1: sports book. Terrible for me. It was one of my
- 4:44Speaker 1: best sports books. Thank god I have the circa here.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I can bet like you.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Haven't even tried to go in there, right, you just know, I.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Mean we can go in, but I just know Caesars
- 4:52Speaker 1: out there. We can bet on the Kiosk. Yeah sure,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I just I'm not allowed to bet on the app,
- 4:56Speaker 1: but the Kiosk I can. I mean I can have
- 4:59Speaker 1: ten bucks or something. But anyway, it's listen, I say good, good,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and bad. When I talked, I did a video at
- 5:07Speaker 1: Caesars Palace. Recently. That's where you want to if you
- 5:10Speaker 1: come into Vegas for the first time. You want to
- 5:12Speaker 1: get a photo or a video, right in front of
- 5:14Speaker 1: the Pointing Statue and the rotunda, which has been there
- 5:18Speaker 1: for since they opened, Since Jaysonner opened the place. Every
- 5:21Speaker 1: guy in the world was in that room. That's where
- 5:23Speaker 1: they filmed the sopranos, even to Tony Soprano and I
- 5:26Speaker 1: think season five or six, Yeah, filmed in there that
- 5:29Speaker 1: it's still the same. There's a bar off to the side.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I seen Rod Stewart in that bar. I talked to
- 5:35Speaker 1: my buddy who worked for Sinatra. Sinatra was always in
- 5:38Speaker 1: that bar. I'm sure your dad's been there coming out
- 5:40Speaker 1: iconic bar there. The place hasn't changed. Caesar's Palace great, great,
- 5:46Speaker 1: the beautiful check in. It's it's a great place to
- 5:49Speaker 1: her for a photo op and I must see, especially
- 5:51Speaker 1: with your first time form shops great a great point.
- 5:55Speaker 1: When my first time in Vegas, I walked all the
- 5:59Speaker 1: way through to the back. Is a Nike store still
- 6:02Speaker 1: there that it was a Nike store in the back
- 6:04Speaker 1: moving statues. I don't know if they're still there.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Yeah, in front of the cheesecake factory, she's cake factory
- 6:09Speaker 2: with aquarium.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Yeah, you got it. That's things that
- 6:14Speaker 1: you have to do.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Also, you know, I just said the Palm restaurant because
- 6:18Speaker 3: I love the chicken.
- 6:19Speaker 2: The iconic Palm our minds is a really good style, right, yeah.
- 6:25Speaker 1: The Christmas lights up year round. It's family style.
- 6:28Speaker 4: And it's good.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Food's good.
- 6:30Speaker 1: He's actually good.
- 6:31Speaker 3: It's not crazy pricey, right, it's not crazy. Get you're
- 6:35Speaker 3: taking food home, for sure.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You're taking food home without a doubt. You know. Again,
- 6:42Speaker 1: this week, I had someone text me not to talk
- 6:46Speaker 1: to his son. His neighbor is one of his best
- 6:49Speaker 1: friend's son about gambling. He said, my neighbor's son, he
- 6:54Speaker 1: just he loves betting. He loves betting parlays, and and
- 6:58Speaker 1: he's getting himself with some trouble. And maybe you could
- 7:00Speaker 1: talk to one of responsible gambling. It's everywhere. So I
- 7:03Speaker 1: talk even though we film in a casino and I
- 7:05Speaker 1: have sports books as sponsors, I have gambling companies that
- 7:08Speaker 1: I don't care. So I'm still gonna talk about responsible gambling.
- 7:11Speaker 1: That's not gonna I'm not gonna lose that. So this
- 7:14Speaker 1: is this is at least ten. It's at least ten
- 7:17Speaker 1: people that I've talked to kids about responsible gambling again,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and you know what, I have to admit it. You know,
- 7:27Speaker 1: I've talked to kids that were seventeen, sixteen, eighteen. It's
- 7:31Speaker 1: not even legal to get sports at that age in
- 7:33Speaker 1: that jurisdiction, but they're all doing it. And you know what,
- 7:37Speaker 1: sometimes it's the parents fault. The parents hand them the phone. Hey, here,
- 7:41Speaker 1: play on my you know, see if you can do something. Here,
- 7:44Speaker 1: play on my Accountah, what what you can't You can't
- 7:50Speaker 1: do that. You can't do that, it's gonna cause problem. Listen,
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we're above it. That happened to me.
- 7:56Speaker 1: What is it? The racetrack. It's nine years old, eight
- 7:59Speaker 1: years old. I was a racetrack. I was gambling on
- 8:01Speaker 1: the board book, I was pitching, pitching quarters. I was
- 8:03Speaker 1: I came from a gambling background. You know, my parent,
- 8:06Speaker 1: my dad, my mom was a little bit. My dad
- 8:08Speaker 1: didn't see nothing wrong with bringing me in a racetrack.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Little did you know it. I would sneak to the
- 8:11Speaker 1: track taking buses at I don't know how old, fifteen sixteen,
- 8:15Speaker 1: taking multiple buses.
- 8:16Speaker 2: And farm lists. Yeah at the time, right.
- 8:19Speaker 1: How do you think this DJ starts Keino in the
- 8:21Speaker 1: coffee shop, Tony Orlando giving him a buck two bucks?
- 8:24Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, sorry, look what that did?
- 8:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh yeah, no, it's responsible gambling. We're serious
- 8:33Speaker 1: about though. So, yeah, we want to make sure people
- 8:36Speaker 1: know that. You should make sure that you talk to
- 8:41Speaker 1: your kids, make sure they know that this is going
- 8:46Speaker 1: to result and some kind of problem along the way.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It's hard to just be a kid. Yeah, and your
- 8:53Speaker 1: brain's like a sponge and you're just taking it all
- 8:56Speaker 1: in the end of you, it could be the end
- 8:58Speaker 1: of you. It could be the end of you. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 9:02Speaker 1: And so now guys, I have a couple of things
- 9:04Speaker 1: to talk about here. Boy, I'll tell you this is
- 9:07Speaker 1: Uh did you hear about this illegal gambling empire helped
- 9:11Speaker 1: move billions of money into Iran? Iran? No, this is unbelievable.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, so Reuter says. Blockchain evidence like more than
- 9:20Speaker 1: two thousand gambling websites different to a crypto exchange that
- 9:24Speaker 1: processed four billion dollars and at Dubai based cryptocurrency exchange,
- 9:29Speaker 1: it helped process billions of dollars into the world's largest
- 9:32Speaker 1: illegal illegal gambling networks was serving as a hub for
- 9:35Speaker 1: Iranian sanctioned invasion. Again according to the Ruters. Am I
- 9:39Speaker 1: saying that right, Routers, But I just seen this story.
- 9:44Speaker 1: There is just unbelievable amounts of money that is being
- 9:48Speaker 1: made from the gambling space. And you don't even think
- 9:52Speaker 1: the illegal gambling space is just so big. And I
- 9:56Speaker 1: read this story. Let me see he wrote this article,
- 9:58Speaker 1: Philip Conneer Conneler, I hope to help me say your
- 10:01Speaker 1: name right? And he is on casino dot org. Yeah,
- 10:05Speaker 1: so John going to you know, I again going back
- 10:09Speaker 1: to talking about casinos. I can't believe how ballsy and
- 10:14Speaker 1: brazen some of these these thiefs are. We had a
- 10:18Speaker 1: guy going to a casino in Oregon believing he was God.
- 10:22Speaker 1: That's what he said, come in, no mask, comes in,
- 10:28Speaker 1: puts a gun up to the tellers, and he demanded
- 10:32Speaker 1: a million. He waited, actually it's at at gunpoint, and
- 10:35Speaker 1: finally he just took the seventy thousand they gave him
- 10:37Speaker 1: and escaped out the front. But now he pursued. He's
- 10:42Speaker 1: put putting up an insanity defense. But yes, he said
- 10:48Speaker 1: he made the word at the cashier. Everyone will bathe
- 10:51Speaker 1: in blood. I mean it. You know, it causes a
- 10:55Speaker 1: point where when I see Derek asking for IDs here
- 10:59Speaker 1: for everybody, you kind of understand a little bit more.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Look the nose in their building.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yeah sure.
- 11:04Speaker 1: And I have been in too many jurisdictions where they
- 11:06Speaker 1: have actual metal metal detectors that made me feel uncomfortable
- 11:11Speaker 1: going through metal detectors. But I've seen it in California,
- 11:14Speaker 1: we went, I seen it in Michigan. I've actually seen
- 11:17Speaker 1: it for a short time here in Vegas after the
- 11:22Speaker 1: COVID and people come there. They were putting up some
- 11:24Speaker 1: metal detectors that didn't last too long. But I've seen
- 11:27Speaker 1: that story. Also. Let's see what else? How about this?
- 11:34Speaker 1: A woman was stabbed here in in Nevada after using
- 11:38Speaker 1: you know, one of those sites you used, the escort sites,
- 11:40Speaker 1: and yeah, so here I got stabbed. And there's a
- 11:44Speaker 1: lot of the listen, it doesn't matter you have money
- 11:46Speaker 1: and good looking guy. You guys always do this stuff.
- 11:49Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, on a serious note, So one of
- 11:53Speaker 1: the sites who's been around a long time, I guess
- 11:56Speaker 1: they send their clients to this motel, which I've seen
- 12:00Speaker 1: this motel on Fremont Street. Fremont Street no, not Fremont.
- 12:04Speaker 1: It's almost Vegas bull right downtown.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, of.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Course you have. But yeah, so you pass by it
- 12:10Speaker 1: if you're coming down anywhere. But so this was I guess,
- 12:14Speaker 1: the near fatal stabbing of this girl at the motel.
- 12:19Speaker 1: And now they're they're saying the attacker was a teenager.
- 12:23Speaker 1: A teenage attacker. I was like, what, but yeah, so
- 12:26Speaker 1: now the problem is the girl is suing. Now they're
- 12:31Speaker 1: actually they're actually uh suing the the site she worked
- 12:35Speaker 1: for and the motel, which I don't know how far
- 12:39Speaker 1: she's gonna get. But it's just listen, we are since
- 12:41Speaker 1: city and it is part of the Las Vegas culture
- 12:44Speaker 1: for years. You really have to be you have to
- 12:46Speaker 1: be careful.
- 12:47Speaker 5: Uh.
- 12:48Speaker 1: It's just something I seene and I thought it was.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Now this is amazing that here we are thirty years
- 12:54Speaker 1: later and the trial of Tupac Shakors killer has begun.
- 12:58Speaker 1: This is that unbelievable crazy thirty years later the trial.
- 13:03Speaker 2: I was here that weekend because it was my birthday weekend.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Wow, so you were living in California at the time. Yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 1: it was your birthday weekend.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Ye that.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Yeah, So this guy, do you know how this all happened.
- 13:16Speaker 1: This guy Dwayne, his name is Dwayne Keith Davis, and.
- 13:20Speaker 3: He was like the suspect. They thought he was a
- 13:23Speaker 3: suspect way.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Back right then he dropped it.
- 13:26Speaker 1: But you know what happened. What there's an old saying,
- 13:31Speaker 1: my buddy'sm Scranton's gonna know it. Uncle Benny always said,
- 13:35Speaker 1: just listen, everybody tells on himself. This guy not only
- 13:39Speaker 1: told on himself, he wrote a book. Stop So yeah,
- 13:43Speaker 1: he actually wrote a book about what He wrote a
- 13:49Speaker 1: book about different things. Is I'm gonna read this to you.
- 13:51Speaker 1: The case remained dormant for years until Davis began publicly
- 13:55Speaker 1: discussing the shooting, including a twenty nineteen memoir memoir Thin
- 14:00Speaker 1: Streets Legends, that described obtaining a handgun and placing it
- 14:04Speaker 1: in the Cadillac before the attack. He was arrested in
- 14:07Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Davis since then has claimed the book
- 14:13Speaker 1: was fictional because he needed the money, so he told
- 14:17Speaker 1: on himself. And you know what that reminds me of.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it reminds me of. There was
- 14:22Speaker 1: these two mafia cops. If you remember, did you ever
- 14:26Speaker 1: hear about that? The Too Mafia cops And I actually
- 14:30Speaker 1: googled mafia cops here because I remember these two cops
- 14:35Speaker 1: that were helping out the mafia in New York, or
- 14:39Speaker 1: that were helping out one of the one of the
- 14:42Speaker 1: guys in New York, one of them like.
- 14:44Speaker 2: American gangster in that movie.
- 14:46Speaker 1: No, no, this was I'm trying to think of the
- 14:48Speaker 1: guy's name that they held. He was in jail. He
- 14:50Speaker 1: was set to get out, but he got in some
- 14:52Speaker 1: kind of trouble too. And so anyway, the cops were
- 14:57Speaker 1: Stephen Carr copp and Lewis Epolito. That was the two
- 14:59Speaker 1: cop and they actually, John, I don't know if you did.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Did you ever hear these guys? I know about this,
- 15:04Speaker 1: these two guys his to mafia cops. They're in they're
- 15:07Speaker 1: in Piero's and really, yeah, they started going on TV
- 15:11Speaker 1: doing movies, doing doing like interviews. Matter of fact, the
- 15:15Speaker 1: one guy if you watch Goodfellas, he's in Good Fellas
- 15:19Speaker 1: at the beginning when they announce all their names. Yeah,
- 15:20Speaker 1: when they go down the bar at the camera, and
- 15:23Speaker 1: he said he's one of the guys in there. He
- 15:25Speaker 1: wanted to be a movie star. He wrote books on this.
- 15:28Speaker 1: He actually ratted himself out. Both cops died in jail,
- 15:32Speaker 1: they weren't in jail. They both retired to Las Vegas.
- 15:34Speaker 1: I know one guy was in Piero's and I believe
- 15:37Speaker 1: when he got busted, he was in Piero's. He wounded
- 15:40Speaker 1: up getting uh, he wounded up getting himself arrested. It
- 15:43Speaker 1: just reminded me of that that, you know, they they
- 15:45Speaker 1: ratted themselves out in other words, crazy but yeah, so,
- 15:48Speaker 1: uh when I seen the thing on on Tupac and
- 15:52Speaker 1: this this particular guy, Dwayne Keith, Yeah, right now, it's
- 15:57Speaker 1: going on right now. Wow, this is thirty years ago.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Thirty years ago when he died on It's like Flamingo
- 16:05Speaker 1: and Covial. They were gonna put a memorial there where
- 16:07Speaker 1: they didn't want it being holding up traffic. People were
- 16:10Speaker 1: you know, stopping their car to take a photo of
- 16:12Speaker 1: the placard or something there. So that that was really
- 16:15Speaker 1: interesting there. That the trials starting now, and you know
- 16:20Speaker 1: he kind of ratting himself out in that book, so's
- 16:23Speaker 1: it'll be interesting of what happens there. Now. It's been
- 16:27Speaker 1: so hot, it's a welcoming ninety two degrees. This week's
- 16:31Speaker 1: only going to be high of ninety one day, ninety
- 16:33Speaker 1: two and ninety five. It sounds like it's hot.
- 16:34Speaker 2: It's been crazy, but it's been one.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Hundred and fifteen yes, for like, I don't know, three weeks,
- 16:39Speaker 1: four weeks, ten one hundred and ten hundred and fifteen
- 16:42Speaker 1: degrees every day. So there's an old myth, John, can
- 16:47Speaker 1: you fry an egg on the sidewalk? So like, can
- 16:51Speaker 1: you fry.
- 16:51Speaker 4: An egg on a sidewalk?
- 16:53Speaker 1: So I knew a guy in town here, and I
- 16:57Speaker 1: believe he has a proxy service too. Still, he put
- 17:00Speaker 1: a pan outside on the sidewalk when it was like
- 17:04Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen here, put the egg in. The
- 17:08Speaker 1: egg fried in the pan. It fried pan. Very interesting
- 17:11Speaker 1: because he sent me the video. The egg actually did
- 17:16Speaker 1: fry up, but if the egg is on the sidewalk,
- 17:21Speaker 1: it doesn't. The article says that the egg it actually
- 17:25Speaker 1: has to get to one hundred and fifty eight degrees
- 17:28Speaker 1: according to the American egg Board. It's pretty funny, isn't
- 17:32Speaker 1: it the highest temperatures of the according to the American
- 17:38Speaker 1: egg Board. Then the thing is here. The concrete is
- 17:42Speaker 1: a poor conductor of heat, so it doesn't actually get
- 17:45Speaker 1: it can get to like one hundred and twenty, it says,
- 17:48Speaker 1: but it's gonna take a while if it could get
- 17:53Speaker 1: fry the egg on the sidewalk. However, in the frying pan,
- 17:56Speaker 1: because the frying pan sucks in that heat. The black
- 17:59Speaker 1: crime it did fry the egg. So yeah, you can't
- 18:02Speaker 1: fry an egg.
- 18:04Speaker 2: This is some of your best work.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Thank you, content wise.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Actually, I really like I like this.
- 18:09Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Now you're not gonna believe with this

- 19:16Speaker 1: there there?
- 19:17Speaker 2: Uh, what a crazy thing.
- 19:19Speaker 1: It's it's the craziest thing.
- 19:21Speaker 2: When they say money doesn't solve problems.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I guess, and you know what, it doesn't. I understands
- 19:26Speaker 1: the case it doesn't. Yeah, he's the case study.
- 19:28Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Let's get into our weekly wager Wires segment here.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:32Speaker 4: I don't even know what it is.
- 19:33Speaker 1: I don't even there. We go, there, we go. Uh, yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 1: I had the crew here. Yeah that was here last week.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Yep.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Yeah, the owners so that they had a great time.
- 19:43Speaker 1: And the person that sends me the the uh every week,
- 19:46Speaker 1: they're one of their guys. Matt Chapparral's he's all over
- 19:49Speaker 1: the world. Is in Paris now, travels the uh really, Oh,
- 19:52Speaker 1: he travels the entire country. He must have he must
- 19:55Speaker 1: He obviously has like family money because he goes all
- 19:57Speaker 1: over the world. I'm sorry Matt for the end of
- 19:59Speaker 1: the bus here and joy Hey Salu, good for you.
- 20:02Speaker 1: So this one come on six leg six leg parlay.
- 20:08Speaker 1: You know, I'm always giving my language, Bill, speaking of
- 20:10Speaker 1: your language. So he has four of the legs in.
- 20:13Speaker 1: That's the reason why we're gonna be talking about it.
- 20:15Speaker 1: So he had four legs in. Of course you're always
- 20:19Speaker 1: mentioned in these things. I know what mister Orlando would say.
- 20:22Speaker 1: But given the current bet value, it's worth twenty three
- 20:25Speaker 1: x the current stake and the fact that three peating
- 20:28Speaker 1: is obviously very hard, is it worth selling? So I'm
- 20:30Speaker 1: let me explain it to you. It's only seven dollars
- 20:33Speaker 1: and fifty one cents and it's to win four hundred
- 20:35Speaker 1: and forty three dollars. So it's Joe. You know, listen,
- 20:38Speaker 1: guy plays seven bucks and the current bet value is
- 20:43Speaker 1: worth one hundred and seventy three dollars. Okay, So uh,
- 20:47Speaker 1: you know it's a six legger, three legs cash Aurey
- 20:51Speaker 1: delays a cash Denver Nuggets money line over the Brooklyn
- 20:54Speaker 1: that's that one Houston rockets that one two. Uh. This
- 20:58Speaker 1: is the same game parlay he had in there that
- 21:01Speaker 1: he picked Anthony Edwards and McDaniel's three pointers and assist.
- 21:04Speaker 1: He won that. Now he has to win a game
- 21:09Speaker 1: on he picked the game. There's a couple more legs here.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Now it says that Dodgers to win the World Series.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I don't know. Are you still on that train? Yeah?
- 21:20Speaker 3: I mean I understand it's hard to three peat, obviously,
- 21:25Speaker 3: but I mean, I don't know who's.
- 21:26Speaker 4: Gonna beat him.
- 21:27Speaker 3: But you know, I'm big on the White Sox. I
- 21:29Speaker 3: said it opening day. I am big on the White
- 21:31Speaker 3: Sox as a as a live dog. But I wouldn't
- 21:35Speaker 3: cash out because you've got the Dodgers.
- 21:37Speaker 2: What's the other leg?
- 21:38Speaker 1: Even though even though it says here four legs are cashed,
- 21:42Speaker 1: the fifth leg is cashed, even though it doesn't say
- 21:45Speaker 1: the fifth leg is cash. He had Seattle Seahawks money
- 21:47Speaker 1: line super Bowl. I don't know why it's done green.
- 21:50Speaker 2: He just rides on the Dodgers.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Rides on the Dodgers. Yeah, so he has one one
- 21:56Speaker 1: bet to go here, seven dollars and fifty one cents
- 21:59Speaker 1: to win four forty three. And I'm gonna agree with
- 22:04Speaker 1: John because this guy, of course, the guys that wader
- 22:06Speaker 1: Wire said, John's gonna say that it ride. I'm gonna agree. Now,
- 22:10Speaker 1: I know you're only bet a dollars seven? Are you
- 22:11Speaker 1: only bet a seven dollars and fifty one cents. It's
- 22:14Speaker 1: worth one hundred and seventy three bucks. I understand you
- 22:16Speaker 1: might want to lock up some of the money, but
- 22:19Speaker 1: I think you you're better off going for this. Four
- 22:21Speaker 1: forty three would those are still the favorite, a big favorite,
- 22:24Speaker 1: even though you had a losing streak, right to win.
- 22:26Speaker 2: A horrible losing streak lately, gee horrible.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Yeah. I know they lost six in a row, but
- 22:29Speaker 1: they won the seventh game in Yeah, so I haven't
- 22:31Speaker 1: really followed up.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Do you like this as a strategy? Obviously, it's still
- 22:35Speaker 3: a roll of the dice because you you now you're
- 22:37Speaker 3: betting on the Dodgers just to get to the World Series. Yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 3: and then just throw fifty bucks or something on the other.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Team, Okay, right, okay at the beginning of it. All right,
- 22:47Speaker 1: so I guess you could do that. When it comes
- 22:50Speaker 1: to the World Series. The Dodgers are going to be favorite,
- 22:53Speaker 1: right right, right, So you could hedge out a little bit,
- 22:55Speaker 1: right to lock up some profit.
- 22:57Speaker 2: But obviously you still need them to get there.
- 22:59Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the you know.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, that's that's.
- 23:02Speaker 3: A good deal.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Good deal, all right, guys, we're gonna bring on uh,
- 23:08Speaker 1: one of the one of the proxies. We want him
- 23:10Speaker 1: to talk about. We have some unfinished business and some
- 23:13Speaker 1: questions for him. But let's let's let's go to him.
- 23:15Speaker 1: All right, guys, we brought on a guest this week
- 23:17Speaker 1: on Wise Cracks and Uh. The reason why I brought
- 23:21Speaker 1: him on is because people were asking questions after I
- 23:25Speaker 1: had the last proxy on Scott, probably because I know it,
- 23:30Speaker 1: I didn't put it in layman's terms enough, so for
- 23:33Speaker 1: for the for the people, So I brought Tom on.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Tom owns, Uh, Vegas football proxy is that the same
- 23:40Speaker 1: Vegas football proxy dot com? So people have some questions still,
- 23:45Speaker 1: and like one they said, great questions. Let's explain to
- 23:51Speaker 1: the public a little bit more. Yes, you have to
- 23:55Speaker 1: have a proxy. People said to me, well, I don't
- 23:57Speaker 1: need a proxy, and the thing, well, I don't need
- 23:58Speaker 1: a proxy. I came to Vegas, I signed up. I'm good. Now. No,
- 24:01Speaker 1: you can't go on this side or the app. No,
- 24:03Speaker 1: they don't, like some people don't. You have to. You
- 24:06Speaker 1: have to have a proxy if you're living out of state,
- 24:11Speaker 1: if you're living out of a destroyer stition, even if
- 24:13Speaker 1: you're in another circu jurisdiction. That was the one guy's
- 24:16Speaker 1: that I surface down the street from me there today. Book,
- 24:19Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything. It's here in Nevada, it's not
- 24:21Speaker 1: across the state lines. So you have to Now do
- 24:24Speaker 1: you guys register, are your licensed or anything? Do you
- 24:26Speaker 1: have to regular gaming or anything?
- 24:28Speaker 5: Now?
- 24:28Speaker 1: Not with gaming?
- 24:29Speaker 4: Okay, you do have a business life, just like anyone else.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Okay, gaming really doesn't have anything to do with us
- 24:34Speaker 1: because we don't have anything doing with any actual gambling transactions.
- 24:38Speaker 1: A service provider between you and the casino. All right.
- 24:41Speaker 1: The one thing with me, I have a big mouth.
- 24:43Speaker 1: John is a big mouth. Just just make sure you
- 24:45Speaker 1: speak up a little bit and so that they can
- 24:47Speaker 1: hear you. If you pick you up on the mic though,
- 24:48Speaker 1: you should be fine. But so another question the guy
- 24:53Speaker 1: hads me, is there a difference in price for cutoff
- 24:57Speaker 1: time if someone sends you a pick on Friday compared
- 25:00Speaker 1: to Saturday.
- 25:01Speaker 5: So for our service, we have one deadline. It's a
- 25:03Speaker 5: Saturday deadline at noon. We don't charge any extra fus wonderful,
- 25:07Speaker 5: And we don't charge any late fees, oh wonderful.
- 25:09Speaker 1: So what if that's my next question, what happens if
- 25:12Speaker 1: someone doesn't put a pick in.
- 25:13Speaker 5: They'll get Well, if they don't get a submitter pick
- 25:16Speaker 5: to us, we will email them, We'll text them. Eventually
- 25:19Speaker 5: I will call them, and then finally, failing to hear
- 25:21Speaker 5: from them, I'll leave them a voicemail and I'll submit
- 25:24Speaker 5: a pick for you.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Will that. It was a great question, though.
- 25:28Speaker 3: How do you figure out who your pick is?
- 25:30Speaker 4: For them?
- 25:31Speaker 5: Survivor millions millions? They get a quick five? Well, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 5: for the survivor, I would just take the largest favorite
- 25:38Speaker 5: that they have available.
- 25:39Speaker 1: God, all right, a quick five is almost like a
- 25:41Speaker 1: quick pick in lottery. Quick five just picks five random.
- 25:45Speaker 5: The quick pick isn't actually author eye.
- 25:47Speaker 4: So we do a five for them, just bifinger cool?
- 25:50Speaker 1: Cool? And how long you been doing this? Have you
- 25:52Speaker 1: doing this since day?
- 25:52Speaker 4: Fourteen years?
- 25:54Speaker 1: Wait? Wait?
- 25:54Speaker 5: I started over the Hillton Supercow business thirteen years yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Wow, And you have a bunch of employees, so we do.
- 26:01Speaker 5: It's taken a long time to build up. I started
- 26:03Speaker 5: with six clients. I played in the Hilton super contest
- 26:06Speaker 5: myself in the early two thousands, right, and I had
- 26:09Speaker 5: a proxy also. I lived on the East coast. I
- 26:11Speaker 5: paid my three hundred dollars to him to put in
- 26:13Speaker 5: my picks.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and we went from there. Now that's what people
- 26:16Speaker 1: want to know. How much is it? How much is
- 26:18Speaker 1: if I come up and I want to sign up
- 26:20Speaker 1: for one Circus Survivor pick, how much do you charge?
- 26:23Speaker 1: And how about if I want to collote with sign
- 26:25Speaker 1: for bulk contest, and how about if I want to
- 26:26Speaker 1: coote the son for max and both service.
- 26:29Speaker 5: So one survivor entries hundred dollars flat fee covers the
- 26:32Speaker 5: whole season, whether you go one week or you go
- 26:34Speaker 5: twenty weeks. Okay, you add in a million's contests. We
- 26:37Speaker 5: charged three hundred dollars for that, because honestly, that's more work.
- 26:40Speaker 5: It's guaranteed to go eighteen weeks submitting five picks a week,
- 26:43Speaker 5: whereas in the Survivor you could be knocked out in
- 26:45Speaker 5: week one.
- 26:46Speaker 4: All right, So we charged less for that.
- 26:48Speaker 1: All right. So and if you pick, if you get
- 26:50Speaker 1: ten picks.
- 26:51Speaker 5: Ten and five, ten and ten and ten, Oh that's
- 26:54Speaker 5: a tough one.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had that yet.
- 26:56Speaker 5: We haven't had ten and ten. But let's say ten
- 26:58Speaker 5: and five. We'll charge of fifteen hundred bucks.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Okay, so you do have a next discount? All right, good,
- 27:02Speaker 1: I may go with you. After all, from my ten
- 27:04Speaker 1: and ten we make it a little bit better than fifteen. Good.
- 27:08Speaker 1: All right. So the people wanted to know that. Now
- 27:11Speaker 1: this is a sensitive question. Boy. Only my friend from
- 27:14Speaker 1: Scranton would ask questions like this. He says, what if
- 27:19Speaker 1: you mess up put a bad pick in? He wants
- 27:22Speaker 1: to know how he gets his money? Does he get
- 27:24Speaker 1: his money back? Does he get next year free? It's
- 27:26Speaker 1: actually a good question, I guess for sure. I mean
- 27:29Speaker 1: I would think over thirteen years, it's easy to screw up.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I screw up my own pics.
- 27:33Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean, somewhere along the way
- 27:35Speaker 5: over thirteen years, mistake is going to happen.
- 27:38Speaker 4: We're all human. Everyone has it.
- 27:40Speaker 5: We have our own clients making mistakes, putting in their
- 27:42Speaker 5: own ticks.
- 27:42Speaker 4: When they come to us.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I got you, I got you.
- 27:44Speaker 3: You know.
- 27:44Speaker 5: We have a famous story at Thanksgiving time with La Jones.
- 27:48Speaker 4: Oh my god, and he took the bought allions or workers?
- 27:51Speaker 4: Is at the end you benefited from a little bit
- 27:53Speaker 4: of luck?
- 27:54Speaker 1: God it bought If this is funny, I didn't know
- 27:55Speaker 1: what happened so tell them.
- 27:57Speaker 5: So basically, la jones Is grandmother had passed away Thanksgiving
- 28:01Speaker 5: time he submitted his picks. In his mind, he thought
- 28:04Speaker 5: he had taken the Lions. I got the pick and
- 28:07Speaker 5: I looked at him. I'm like, ooh, he's got the Packers.
- 28:09Speaker 5: This is pretty ballsy. Everybody was on the Lions that day,
- 28:12Speaker 5: and I knew Greg he wasn't that type of player
- 28:15Speaker 5: where he was going to take the Packers.
- 28:17Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, I wonder if this is
- 28:18Speaker 4: a typo.
- 28:19Speaker 5: And my policy is I don't comment on anyone's picks
- 28:23Speaker 5: because I don't want to influence them in any way.
- 28:25Speaker 5: But I went back and forth, should I call him
- 28:27Speaker 5: and ask if a type of Eventually I went with
- 28:29Speaker 5: my rule.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Turns out Packers win. Oh my god. I call him
- 28:33Speaker 4: on Saturday, Greg, I don't have your pick.
- 28:36Speaker 5: He's driving back from wherever he was visiting. He's like, now, Tom,
- 28:39Speaker 5: I'm out. You know I had the Lions. Now you'm
- 28:42Speaker 5: pretty sure you had the Packers. Now Tom, one hundred
- 28:45Speaker 5: percent I had the Lions.
- 28:46Speaker 4: I'm done. I'm out.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Greg, I got your card in my hand. You got
- 28:49Speaker 5: the Packers. He starts yelling and screaming. Him and his
- 28:52Speaker 5: wife pull over. He's like, I'm like, I still need
- 28:54Speaker 5: a pick. We got ten minutes. He's like, give me
- 28:56Speaker 5: the Titans. I'm like, sure, you don't think about it. Nope,
- 28:58Speaker 5: I'm free rolling. I don't even know who's play. I didn't
- 29:00Speaker 5: look because he's out. He goes on to win the contest,
- 29:03Speaker 5: win two point three million dollars.
- 29:05Speaker 4: That some on.
- 29:06Speaker 2: That's it, all from a.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Great story, all from a mistake pick. So you never know.

- 29:50Speaker 4: Thanks very much, thank you, take me too, Okay, thank you.

- 30:11Speaker 1: They give your money.
- 30:12Speaker 2: That it's a big job.
- 30:14Speaker 4: It's a lot of responsibility. People think it's easy to

- 30:17Speaker 1: And now how did they submit the picks? Are they are?
- 30:19Speaker 1: Are you? Are they on a computer sending you picks?

- 30:43Speaker 1: lot about my buddy here, and he's gonna tell you again.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Vegas Footballproxy dot com, Vegas Footballproxy dot com. Okay, we
- 30:52Speaker 1: had the Circus Survivor right now, going, I'm hearing it's
- 30:55Speaker 1: ahead of pace. You have the numbers, you have the
- 30:56Speaker 1: current numbers.
- 30:57Speaker 4: I don't know that they're about fifty percent ahead of pace.
- 30:59Speaker 4: It's a little hard.
- 31:00Speaker 5: Did this surrive pretty close forty five percent? And it's
- 31:03Speaker 5: unclear because the season is shifted back, so we have
- 31:06Speaker 5: extra six or seven days of sign ups that we
- 31:08Speaker 5: didn't have last year on this date, all right, and
- 31:11Speaker 5: Bette Bash already occurred, so it almost you know, evens out.
- 31:14Speaker 5: You got to kind of consider some other of that, right,
- 31:16Speaker 5: some of it.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I had a big sign up weekend coming up dands
