- 0:0154321 all systems go with Josh Applebaum starts now Hello and
- 0:14welcome to episode 447 of the all systems go sports betting
- 0:20podcast powered by rhythm. I am your host, Josh Applebaum.
- 0:30What's going on, everyone? Happy Wednesday.
- 0:32It's hump day, guys. That means we are halfway
- 0:34through our work week and the countdown continues.
- 0:37We are now just four days away from the Super Bowl final NFL
- 0:41game of the year. So I cannot wait for this one.
- 0:44Of course, you know where I stand.
- 0:46But updating you guys here last week and really the way this
- 0:49this line has kind of stayed where it's at, I'm still
- 0:52thinking there's liability and a good opportunity to take the
- 0:54Patriots in the point setting. Plus 4 1/2, even though you're
- 0:57getting nearly 70% of spread bets on Seattle, we're looking
- 1:01at a line freeze. I'm holding out for A5.
- 1:03I've told you guys this before, but really I'm not seeing too
- 1:06many shops still juiced up towards Seattle -4 1/2 - 115 -,
- 1:11120. In fact, a lot of these books
- 1:13are evening out closer to -110 both sides.
- 1:15So actually stumbled upon something today as I was, you
- 1:19know, looking through all my different sports books that I
- 1:21have available to me, and something jumped out to me about
- 1:24one book offering one thing in particular.
- 1:27So for today's Super Bowl update, I want to talk about
- 1:30what this book is offering, why it's important and not just this
- 1:34book in particular, but how we can take advantage of betting on
- 1:38sports this time of year for this specific game.
- 1:41So a little bit of a sports betting slash Super Bowl update
- 1:46and and little piece of advice here, what we'll talk about.
- 1:48Then we're going to get right back to college basketball,
- 1:51who's loving college hoops right now.
- 1:53I am raising my hand. I got another 3 pack of plays
- 1:56for you guys tonight. We're going to get right back to
- 1:58three money line short favorites which have been treating us
- 2:01pretty, pretty, pretty good as Larry David likes to say here
- 2:05recently. More on that in a second, but
- 2:07again, put on a put on a port of coffee because we got some late
- 2:10night sweats here. But three games overall, we're
- 2:12going to try to go 2 and 1 eek out a winning night.
- 2:15Now looking back to our last night guys, OMG.
- 2:18Overall, another sweet baby, another bust, open the janitors
- 2:22closet, grab a broom, do a little Fred Astaire dance on the
- 2:25sports book. Floor three and oh plus 2.37
- 2:29units started the night off great with Indiana State
- 2:31absolutely rolling 84 to 63 blowout win over Evansville.
- 2:36So it's nice to see Indiana State as a very short money line
- 2:39favorite come through for the team.
- 2:41Then NC State, what an epic game that was.
- 2:44Now I fully admit that line started to come back down toward
- 2:47SMU. But dancing with the one who
- 2:49brung us, something that I always try to instill on on
- 2:53sports bettors. And again, you can do what you
- 2:55want In the end, this is just advice that I've learned over
- 2:57time through wins and losses and experience.
- 3:00But once you make a bet, you stick with your bet.
- 3:02A lot of people will say, oh, buy it out, cash out, bet the
- 3:05other side. But a perfect example of NC
- 3:07State was sticking with our money line play.
- 3:10Even though that line got down further toward SMU.
- 3:13The Wolfpack on the money line hung on.
- 3:15It was not easy. This is why you always money
- 3:17line short favorites. They won 84 to 83.
- 3:20They're looking really good. I mean, they were just nailing 3
- 3:22pointers in the second-half and they're up by like 10 points and
- 3:25they actually only 1 by 1 and got lucky because SMU had a
- 3:29chance. They're late to walk it off with
- 3:31a winner. There's a huge block on the NC
- 3:33State side and prior to that NC State was on the free throw
- 3:37line. Could have made it a three-point
- 3:38game. The I forgot the kids name, but
- 3:41he had a great game. He had like 20 assists or
- 3:43something, but he missed both free throws.
- 3:45And I'm like, oh, oh, this ain't good.
- 3:46But thank the Lord break went our way.
- 3:49NC State Wolfpack hung on for a money line win.
- 3:52But the play of the night. And I would argue guys, we've
- 3:55been a lot of college hoops this year.
- 3:57Fresno State might have been the play of the year because Fresno
- 4:01State won the game 98 to 96. But if you were like me on the
- 4:06East Coast, I mean this game didn't end till you know, one AM
- 4:091:30 in the morning. You probably saw a lot of tweets
- 4:12about it today because it was just absolutely insanity.
- 4:15Fresno State was down five points with 7 seconds left, foul
- 4:21get a couple free throws and then with like 1.8 seconds left
- 4:25they hit a three pointer way deep to to tie the game up.
- 4:29And then this was absolutely insane.
- 4:31And I would really argue that the coach really screwed UNLV.
- 4:35And, hey, we'll take it because it was a benefit to us.
- 4:37But instead of calling a timeout and talking about the inbound,
- 4:40he didn't call a timeout. And the guy for UNLV under his
- 4:43own baseline, you know, throws a, you know, Hail Mary pass all
- 4:48the way down the court. It doesn't hit anyone.
- 4:50It bounces out of bounds. So why is that critical?
- 4:54Because it brought the ball way back to the other side of the
- 4:56hoop. It took no time off the clock.
- 4:59Fresno State inbounds the pass. And this kid, Jake Hide Bretter,
- 5:03who was just absolutely incredible.
- 5:05He had like 29 points inbound pass, catch and shoot nails, A2
- 5:09pointer in the corner and we walk off with a Fresno State 98
- 5:13to 96 wins. So just unbelievable.
- 5:16And again, how many times down by, you know, 5, what was it, 5
- 5:19points with 7 seconds left. Do you win that game?
- 5:22And regulation almost never happened.
- 5:24So we've had some really tough breaks in college hoops.
- 5:27I would argue last night we kind of got the gambling gods given
- 5:31US1 back there. So we'll take it with Fresno
- 5:33State. But man, if you stayed up to
- 5:35watch that game late or maybe you're a W coaster and it wasn't
- 5:38too late for you, but on freaking believable that Fresno
- 5:41State pulled that thing out. But either way, guys, two
- 5:45straight sweeps. Let's see if we can keep it
- 5:46rolling into today. And of course with a three pack,
- 5:49let's try to go 2 and 1 eek out a winning day.
- 5:53So with that being said, before we get to college hoops, I
- 5:55wanted to give you guys a little piece of advice and something
- 5:58that I noticed as I was looking through all the different sports
- 6:01books. So let me just tell you again,
- 6:04I'm on I'm on Patriots here. I haven't officially bet it
- 6:06because I'm going to wait and try to get a + 5.
- 6:09I may not get it. Kind of I don't want to get it
- 6:11because if it goes to five across the market, that would
- 6:14mean further money coming in on Seattle.
- 6:16In a way, I kind of want to see this thing getting down to four
- 6:18and then jump on a book still giving us the 4 1/2.
- 6:21But here's why something that I stumbled on is important and I
- 6:24wanted to mention to you as I am shopping around and there are
- 6:27different sports betting apps out there where, you know, it'll
- 6:30just give you all the different numbers across the market.
- 6:33Another great book or great piece of, you know, betting
- 6:37insight with Rhythm or Juice Reel.
- 6:38They'll give you all the different books across the
- 6:41market. So I always try to preach, you
- 6:43know, shop around. If you identify a sharp play
- 6:45that matches our system, you know, low bets, higher dollars,
- 6:48sharp line move, you know, sharp contrarian, all the all the
- 6:52stuff we talked about. You don't want to just go bet
- 6:54that game at the, you know, first book that you have access
- 6:57to or the book that's easiest to access.
- 6:59You want to shop around and get the best price.
- 7:02So odds logic, I always talk about odds logic.
- 7:04It's the great live odds page that I use everyday.
- 7:07That's an easy way to just quickly see which book is giving
- 7:10you the best price and the best number.
- 7:12But as I'm looking at odds logic and I'm actually logging into
- 7:15every single sports book that I have access to because I'm in
- 7:18New England, I am in Massachusetts.
- 7:20So I have 123-4567 online books that I use.
- 7:25I have accounts at Caesar's, FanDuel, Bet MGM, The Score,
- 7:29Bally, Bet, Fanatics, and DraftKings.
- 7:31And anytime I go bet a game, I go find which of those books are
- 7:35giving me the best price. So here's what was it
- 7:38interesting to me. I'm looking across the board and
- 7:40I see Caesar's Patriots plus 4 1/2 - 1 O 8.
- 7:44FanDuel Patriots plus 4 1/2 - 1 O 8.
- 7:48Bet MGM plus 4 1/2 - 1 O 5. The Score plus 4 1/2 -. 110
- 7:53Valley Bet in Fanatics, both 4 1/2 - 110 DraftKings plus 4 1/2
- 7:57- 1 O 5. But here's where it gets
- 8:00interesting. As I am literally logging into
- 8:02each app, I look at Bet MGM and the thing that jumped out to me
- 8:06with Bet MGM and I tell you what guys, I am not getting paid to
- 8:09tell you this. I am not an affiliate or a tout
- 8:12for Bet MGM, but I'm always looking for a book that gives me
- 8:15a little sweetener. So when I log into the Bet MGM
- 8:18app today, I go to the Super Bowl tab.
- 8:20I check out the book. I noticed that they have a
- 8:24little promo going on right now and what they call it is the big
- 8:28game boost or the spread odds flash.
- 8:31So the interesting thing, interesting thing here is that
- 8:34you'll get Seattle -4 1/2 -, 115.
- 8:38But if you bet it at Bet MGM, it's -4 1/2 -, 110.
- 8:43Then we go to the Patriots plus 4 1/2 - 1 O 5 with this big game
- 8:47boost or spread odds flash. And this is again, just on the
- 8:50homepage. If you log in to Bet MGM minus
- 8:53one O 5, it's now +100. So that's again, may not seem
- 8:58like a big deal, but you're getting $0.05 a juice advantage
- 9:02just by and again, you're getting even money.
- 9:04So you risk a unit with this boost plus 4 1/2 + 100.
- 9:08You get a full unit back hopefully if the Patriots cover
- 9:11this number. So it got me thinking 1, you
- 9:15know, I'm thinking, should I just play this right now plus 4
- 9:181/2 of plus 100 because unless it gets to five and you can make
- 9:21an argument, would you rather have, you know, +5 at -115 or
- 9:25-120 or plus 4 1/2 at even money plus 100.
- 9:29So I'm even thinking, you know, maybe I should just play this
- 9:31right now. But the whole reason why I bring
- 9:33this up one is the importance of getting the best price and
- 9:37having the best number. But #2 I think as we wait till
- 9:42the Super Bowl and we're now again, just four days away from
- 9:45the big game, you might be saying to yourself, man,
- 9:47twiddling my thumbs, yeah, college hoops is great.
- 9:50Of course, we're playing that every day.
- 9:51But, you know, I'm dying for the game.
- 9:53What am I going to do over the next four days?
- 9:55You know, it's kind of a lull in the in the betting world right
- 9:58now aside from, again, college hoops.
- 10:00I think guys, based on seeing that little boost from Bet MGM,
- 10:03it got me thinking, this is a great time for you out there
- 10:07listening to open up another account at another sports book.
- 10:10So maybe you're listening and you're like me and you have
- 10:12access to seven books or more. Maybe you're out there listening
- 10:15and saying, wow, I only have one account.
- 10:17You know, I only bet through FanDuel.
- 10:20I only bet through DraftKings. I only have a Bet MGM account.
- 10:24What I always try to preach and I've talked about in the
- 10:26bankroll management section in both my books, the everything
- 10:29Guide to Sports betting in the NFL short betting playbook is
- 10:32that if you want to be the most successful sports, better you
- 10:34can be, you cannot bet through one book.
- 10:37You need to have multiple books, as many as possible available to
- 10:41you in your legalized betting state.
- 10:44So if you just have one book, now is a great time to add
- 10:48another book to add a second book.
- 10:50If you have three books, now is a good time to add a fourth
- 10:52book. You want to take advantage of
- 10:55this, you know, craziness around the Super Bowl because you got
- 10:58to remember this is most heavily bet sporting event of the year
- 11:02by far. And these books are really
- 11:04battling for your action. They want your business.
- 11:08You are a free agent. You can sign with any book and
- 11:11what are you going to do? You're going to probably sign up
- 11:13with a book that gives you the best sweetener, the most bonus
- 11:16bets, the best, you know, incentive or reason to sign up.
- 11:20So for example, there's a book out there where you get, you
- 11:23know, bet up, bet 5 bucks, get 200 bucks in free bets.
- 11:27I would mention that one thing that I noticed with one book,
- 11:30this happened to me years ago when masks first legalized.
- 11:33I had like $200 in bonus bets, but they expired in seven days
- 11:37and I kind of forgot about it. So as I'm going to, you know,
- 11:40take advantage of my bonus bets. I think it was like the 8th day.
- 11:43It was so annoying. And those bonus dollars are
- 11:45gone. So again, you want to go sign up
- 11:48for the book #1 the most important thing is just having
- 11:51access to better numbers, getting better prices, giving
- 11:53yourself that advantage to find a 3 1/2 when everyone else is at
- 11:563 or a -, 120 money line when everyone else is -125 But
- 12:02really, you want to get the most you can with the sign up
- 12:05bonuses. You want to make sure you read
- 12:08the fine print, know when they expire.
- 12:10And then a lot of people. I wrote about this too in my
- 12:12latest book, The NFL Sharp Betting Playbook.
- 12:14But you want to bet these, you know, bonus bets kind of in a
- 12:20smart way. Like if you bet, you know, a -,
- 12:22500 favorite, yeah, you'll most likely win, but you're not going
- 12:25to get a lot back. When I get bonus bets at a new
- 12:28sports book, I try to bet a futures because you're just
- 12:31going to get a way better possible payout.
- 12:33Like, for example, if you, you know, have 200 bucks worth of
- 12:36bonus bets at whatever book, book ABCBD.
- 12:40Maybe you want to play, I don't know, Dodgers to win the World
- 12:44Series at +200 or, you know, I don't know, Celtics to win it
- 12:48all at +2000. You want to think about a
- 12:51futures bet at a big plus money payout because you're just going
- 12:54to maximize the amount that you make pull back when hopefully
- 12:58you cash your bet. So that was just kind of my, my
- 13:01insight there when I saw bet MGM with this quote UN quote, big
- 13:05game boost odds flash saying literally just come bet with us
- 13:09and we're going to take the Pats +44 and 1/2 -, 1 O 5 to plus 100
- 13:14or Seahawks -4 1/2 -, 115 to -4 1/2 - 110.
- 13:19It just got me thinking that, hey, the books really want your
- 13:23business right now. They want you to bet the big
- 13:25game and all the props at their sports book.
- 13:28So again, go look, you know, maybe you see a commercial on
- 13:32TV, maybe you see something on Twitter, you know, investigate.
- 13:36First off, I would say #1 what state are you in?
- 13:39And you can do a quick Google search, figure out what books
- 13:42are available to you. You know, go look at each book
- 13:45in their website. You know, you can always look at
- 13:48before you even sign up and deposit money.
- 13:50You know, go if they have a live chat, open their live chat and
- 13:53say, hey, I'm interested in signing up.
- 13:54What kind of, what kind of bonuses do you have?
- 13:57You know, figure out what they, what they have are willing to
- 13:59get you. But again, the whole point is
- 14:01right now you're going to get the best sign on bonuses because
- 14:04they want your business for the Super Bowl.
- 14:06Take advantage of the sign up bonuses, you know, a future out
- 14:10of plus money price that hopefully you can turn those
- 14:12futures bets or that those extra bonus bets into a bigger payout.
- 14:17But just just remember, even if you win or lose the Super Bowl,
- 14:20you're going you're now going to have another book you can access
- 14:23another book you can use to shop around for the best price.
- 14:25So just wanted to mention that because I think it's important.
- 14:29And again, I know it takes like, you know, 10 minutes, 15 minutes
- 14:32to sign up. You got to fill out everything
- 14:35you maybe have to, you know, screenshot or you know, post
- 14:38your driver's license, you got to put in your Social Security,
- 14:41yadda, yadda. You got to go through those
- 14:42steps, which are kind of annoying.
- 14:44But then once you do it, I guarantee you're going to be
- 14:46very, very glad and very happy you did because then you get
- 14:49another book that you can shop for the best price for all
- 14:52sports. So again, just something that
- 14:55caught my eye that I wanted to share with you guys.
- 14:57But anyway, after another three and O night 6 and O on our last
- 15:01six, let's see if we can eke out another winning night, keep this
- 15:03hot streak going by once again focusing on short money line
- 15:07favorites. That is the theme.
- 15:10So first one on the board for me in a huge college basketball
- 15:13slate here for tonight with roughly 65 games overall.
- 15:17I want to focus on New Mexico State first at Louisiana Tech La
- 15:21Tech. So 730 tip off.
- 15:23We got New Mexico State 10 and 11 on the year.
- 15:26However they have lost four in a row.
- 15:28Just got rolled by Kennesaw State 76 to 53, did not cover as
- 15:32a 3 1/2 point Rd. dog. On the other hand, La Tech 12:00
- 15:35and 9:00 on the year. They just saw their two game win
- 15:37streak come to an end. They lost to Sam Houston 83 to
- 15:4067. Did not cover as a 7 1/2 point
- 15:43Rd. dog. So to sit across the market in
- 15:46this one? Well this game opened at
- 15:47basically a pick em. Now, some books were a true
- 15:50pick. Other books I saw actually open
- 15:52New Mexico State -1 some books open La tech -1 but you split
- 15:57the difference. It was mostly a pick em opener.
- 16:00What do we always talk about in a pick em opener?
- 16:03Where does the line move first? Does it move in?
- 16:05Which direction does it line move toward?
- 16:06Because I always mention this. But if it's a pick em opener,
- 16:10you know, the wise guys who set their own numbers, maybe they
- 16:12have a pick em as well, which means there's no reason to bet
- 16:15it because there's no advantage or edge over the book.
- 16:17But maybe they disagree and say, hey, this team should be my, I
- 16:19have a -, 1.3 or -2. Therefore, you're going to see a
- 16:23line move. Well, looks like sharps have
- 16:25sided with Law Tech here because Law Tech opened again around a
- 16:31pick or even getting 1 or -1 and now we've seen Law Tech got up
- 16:35to -1 1/2 at home. And again, a few other shops are
- 16:38actually inching up to -2 So all movement and liability has been
- 16:42toward Louisiana Tech in this spot.
- 16:44Tells me Sharps have gone with Law Tech Look at the splits in
- 16:48particular at DraftKings. Latex only getting 59% of spread
- 16:52bets, which again is really not not very lopsided, but they are
- 16:56getting 78% of spread dollars. So that tells me that we have a
- 17:00a big amount of money, low bets, higher dollars in favor of law
- 17:04tech. Again, 59% bets, but 78%
- 17:07dollars. Tells me again, smart money
- 17:09going with the home team. Now Ken Palm does have law Tech
- 17:12winning the game, but only by one point.
- 17:14He's got him winning 68 to 67. So as a result, I want to
- 17:17protect myself. I want to follow this sharp
- 17:19move, pick to -1 1/2 toward La Tech.
- 17:22But I don't want La Tech to win by one, as Ken Palm predicts,
- 17:25and I lose my -1 1/2. So I jumped on La Tech at
- 17:29Caesar's at -120 that was the best price here.
- 17:33It looks like other books are as high as -125 -, 130.
- 17:36And this is what I'm talking about.
- 17:37By opening another book, maybe you don't have a Caesar's
- 17:39account. You add Caesar's, you get $0.05
- 17:42of a better price on La Tech. But also when you look at and
- 17:46there's a really interesting system, two teams in Conference
- 17:49USA play each other, take the home favorite, they are 16 and
- 17:53six straight up 73 percent, 3% ROI this year.
- 17:57So when two teams in the Conference USA face off that
- 17:59home favorite has done very well.
- 18:01I have another system money lining a short favorite 4 or
- 18:04less with half a point or more of movement in your favor.
- 18:07Those teams are 182 and 119 straight up this year, 60%,
- 18:11three percent ROI. Now we have some advantages with
- 18:14with Law Tech better defensive efficiency, 140th in the country
- 18:18versus 200 and 28th for New Mexico State.
- 18:21Better offensive rebound percentage, 62nd in the country
- 18:25versus 97th for New Mexico State.
- 18:28And LA Tech holds their opponents to a better effective
- 18:30field goal percentage, 67th in the country versus 99th for New
- 18:35Mexico State. Bulldogs are giving up 62 points
- 18:38per game. Aggies are giving up 70 points
- 18:40per game. So hopefully the better defense
- 18:42here to give New Mexico State some trouble.
- 18:45And then home Rd. La Tech is 11 and one at home
- 18:48this year. That is the second best home
- 18:50record in Conference USA. Mexico State one and five on the
- 18:54road. So I'll pick them opener.
- 18:56But the line is shot up toward Louisiana Tech.
- 18:59We can money line a short favorite here with La tech -120
- 19:02at Caesar's. And oh by the way, popped open
- 19:04juice reel. I notice a 10% sharp mush edge
- 19:08from the pros out there listening like you who have also
- 19:11gone with La Tech. So first bet on the board for me
- 19:14tonight. Let's go a lot.
- 19:15Tech Bulldogs money line -120 now a couple late night sweats.
- 19:20Let's go to a 9:00 game. Arizona State visiting Utah.
- 19:25Arizona State comes in 11 and 11 on the year, but they've dropped
- 19:28nine of their last 11. Just lost to Arizona, 87 to 74.
- 19:32They did cover though as a 14 1/2 point home dog.
- 19:35Meanwhile, Utah, 9:00 and 12:00 on the year.
- 19:37They've lost eight of their last nine.
- 19:39They've also struggled like Arizona State and they just lost
- 19:42to Oklahoma State 81 to 69 did not cover as a 1 1/2 point home
- 19:46dog so. What have you seen across the
- 19:48market here? Well this game open with Utah
- 19:52listed around a one point home favorite and the public is
- 19:55saying give me Arizona State. Arizona State is 11 and 11.
- 19:59Utah is 9 and 12. Arizona State's getting a point.
- 20:02Public is saying quote UN quote the wrong team is favored.
- 20:05So nearly 2/3 of spread bets are going Sun Devils.
- 20:09But we're not down to a pick. We're hopping the fence and
- 20:11going dog to fave to Arizona State -1 -, 2 No, the signs
- 20:16actually crept up further toward Utah -1 up to -1 1/2.
- 20:21This tells me that we have a fade the trendy dog opportunity
- 20:24with the public on Arizona State.
- 20:25But this line moving toward Utah.
- 20:28Utah really good split at DraftKings.
- 20:30Only 38% of spread bets, but 50% of spread dollars.
- 20:34So this would make them a contrarian play and a heavily
- 20:37bet late night game on CBS Sports Network.
- 20:40If you're like me and I have Verizon FiOS for my TV and I
- 20:44hate them because it's so expensive, but I need all these
- 20:46channels. But hey, at least I get CBS
- 20:49Sports Network. But anyway, Utah, however, at
- 20:52circa 67% of spread bets 88% of spread dollars.
- 20:58So they're sharp contrarian Fay the trendy dog.
- 21:00Overall, they're really contrarian to DraftKings, but it
- 21:03tells me out in Vegas, a lot of big money from the wise guys in
- 21:06the desert. Going with Utah now, Ken Palm is
- 21:08Utah winning by 182 to 81. So you heard it or you guessed
- 21:13it. I guess I should say this is a
- 21:15money line play for me on the Utah Utes.
- 21:18I got Utah at -118 at Ballybet. Again, importance of opening up
- 21:23another book. If you have access to Ballybet,
- 21:25they have some good prices over there.
- 21:27So I got -118 money line Utah. Most shops around -120 -, 125
- 21:32Another system for you when two teams in the Big 12 play each
- 21:35other in conference play. The home favorite is 35 and
- 21:38seven straight up this year, 7% ROI.
- 21:41That is an 83% straight up win percentage.
- 21:45Utah does have some advantages here.
- 21:47They have the better effective field goal percentage, 93rd
- 21:49versus 134th for Arizona State, better three-point shooting,
- 21:5344th versus 123rd. And they commit fewer turnovers
- 21:58on offense, 80th in terms of lowest turnover percentage
- 22:01versus 147th for Arizona State. Lastly, home Rd.
- 22:06Utah is 8 and four at home this year and Arizona State is just
- 22:10one and five on the road. So I want to follow this sneaky
- 22:13fade, the trendy dog reverse line move play.
- 22:15And we got a cheap price on Utah money line again.
- 22:18I ain't laying 1 1/2, winning by 1 and losing or laying one and
- 22:22winning by 1 and pushing. This is a money line play.
- 22:24Utah money line I got -118 at Bally Bet now for the biggest
- 22:29game of the night. And I don't mean in terms of,
- 22:31you know, this is a 20 unit bomb.
- 22:33No, this is 1 unit like any other bet.
- 22:36But it happens to be the most heavily bet late night game.
- 22:39And boy does it look pretty sharp. 11:00 Eastern Time you
- 22:42put on a pot of coffee. If you're an East coaster like
- 22:45me, put on the dunks. We got Utah State and New
- 22:48Mexico, two really good teams in the Mountain West facing off
- 22:51Utah State comes in 18 and three.
- 22:54They've won three in a row. They just took down San Diego
- 22:56State 71 to 66 but did not cover as a 6 1/2 point home favorite.
- 23:01Similarly, we got New Mexico 18 and four, they've won four in a
- 23:05row. They just took down San Jose
- 23:07State 90 to 80. Didn't cover though as a 15 1/2
- 23:11point Rd. favorite. So we see across the market
- 23:13here. Well, this game open with New
- 23:15Mexico listed around a 1 1/2 point home favorite.
- 23:19So it's interesting to me, two really good teams.
- 23:21Does the public say, might as well take the dog getting 1 1/2,
- 23:24or is that a really good, you know, price at home on a short,
- 23:28short price for that home favorite?
- 23:30Well, it looks like the latter is taking place here because
- 23:32we've seen this line move further toward New Mexico.
- 23:36New Mexico is being really juiced up -1 1/2 -, 115 -, 120
- 23:40at a few books. But I noticed a couple other
- 23:42books are up to -2 and now -2 1/2.
- 23:46So all movement and liability has been in favor of New Mexico.
- 23:50We look at the splits looks like a pretty good pro and Joe play.
- 23:54We look at DraftKings 80% of spread bets, 95% of spread
- 23:59dollars on New Mexico at circa 75% of spread bets, 97% of
- 24:04spread dollars on New Mexico. So do I love that this is a
- 24:08quote UN quote public play? No, but at least there's also
- 24:11smart money because we got that bet split in that line move.
- 24:14And remember the sharps, they don't care what the public's
- 24:17doing. You know, as a data-driven
- 24:18better, I want to know where the public is and where the splits
- 24:21are at. But if you're a true pro, you're
- 24:23betting based on your discrepancies.
- 24:25You don't care about splits or anything like that.
- 24:27You know, you're trusting your own numbers.
- 24:28So when this game opened, you know -1 1/2 New Mexico, if the
- 24:32sharps had it at 2 1/2, that's why they hit New Mexico, caused
- 24:35that line to move. But again, pro and Joe just
- 24:38tells me that, you know, the public might just say, hey,
- 24:40short line, you know, take the good team at home.
- 24:43But wise guys are saying, hey, we have this as a higher number,
- 24:46which is why we want to hit New Mexico and 'cause that line move
- 24:50in particular, again, money line play for me, I got New Mexico
- 24:53-130 at Fanatics, looking at a bunch of other books now as high
- 24:58as -135 -, 140 like the splits, though at DK, 74% of money line
- 25:03bets, 81% of money line dollars. Another system play for you.
- 25:07This is going to sound so crazy. It might, it's got to be wrong.
- 25:10But no, I trust you it's right or trust me that it's right
- 25:13because I looked at every single system match.
- 25:16But when two teams in the Mountain West play each other in
- 25:18conference play, the home favorite get a load of this is
- 25:2228 and 293% straight up 16% ROI this this year.
- 25:27So again, conference play in Mountain West home favorite is
- 25:30on very well winning these games.
- 25:32New Mexico has the better free throw.
- 25:34Shooting could be critical in a close game. 88th in the country
- 25:37versus 200 and 49th for Utah State.
- 25:40Better defensive efficiency, 26th versus 39th.
- 25:44And New Mexico does a better job of not turning it over on
- 25:47offense. They're ranking 73rd and
- 25:49turnover percentage versus 130th for Utah State.
- 25:53Oh, by the way, New Mexico 12 and O at home this season.
- 25:56The pit, which by the way, if you've anyone is looking for a
- 26:00new show. I've been watching the pit with
- 26:02my wife on HBO. It's it's a hospital show, a
- 26:06doctors like they're in the ERI usually hate shows like this,
- 26:10but Noah Wiley's awesome. So it just got me thinking like
- 26:12the pit is the name of New Mexico's homecourt and it's a
- 26:15good HBO show if you're looking for one.
- 26:17But anyway, they're 12 and O at home at the pit New Mexico.
- 26:20That is the best home record in the Mountain West.
- 26:23So one of the most heavily bet biggest late night sweats, but
- 26:26all movement liabilities on the home favorite I went New Mexico
- 26:29money line -130 at Fanatics. So LA Tech, Utah, New Mexico.
- 26:35Can we get 2 out of three of these plays to come through and
- 26:38win the game outright? Knock on wood, That is the goal.

- 29:25able to track the market. What are all the games I can bet
- 29:28today? What are the start times I need
- 29:30live in game wagering, live scoring when the game gets
- 29:32started. But more importantly, it's a lot
- 29:34of it to me is about preflop spending all day staring at the
- 29:38numbers figuring out OK here's the open column tells me the
- 29:41opening number. It stays static.
- 29:43That's your reference point to the right.
- 29:44All the current prices, shop for the best price, identify Steam,
- 29:49pull up the line history. Always get the best number, so I
- 29:52would highly recommend that you give Odds Logic a shot.

- 30:01your first month. Use this link.
- 30:02It is oddslogic.com/josh 123. Lastly, have you downloaded
- 30:09Novig yet? Novig is a sports betting
- 30:12exchange. It's not a sports book, so
- 30:14you're going to get way better juice prices.
- 30:17So with Novig, you're going to get -1 O 5 plus one O 2 -, 1 O 3
- 30:22instead of -120 -, 115. So because you're in an exchange
- 30:26going up against other betters, you're not subject to the house
- 30:30forcing you to pay those higher juice prices.
- 30:32You can win at the same rate you would at DK or FanDuel or
- 30:35whatever book you use, but you're going to have way more
- 30:38money in the back end because you're risking less juice, which
- 30:41means when you bet Tris first bet to when you're going to get
- 30:43more on the back end when you win.
- 30:46So that about does it guys. As always, two final thoughts.
- 30:49One, whether I see you at the Borgata and Atlantic City, Twin
- 30:52River in Rhode Island, the brook in New Hampshire, Foxwoods or
- 30:55Mohegan Sun down in Connecticut, the Encore in Boston, Plain
- 30:58Ridge Park, casino, MGM Springfield and Nash and my neck
- 31:01of the woods on the border of Massachusetts and New Hampshire
- 31:04around the desert where the true grinders get down, where Billy
- 31:06Walters sends his number runners with the lowest juice possible
- 31:09is found at the South point. Wherever it May is you're going
- 31:12to walk up to me or or again, jump in the stadium swimming
- 31:15pool. When you cash a big ticket at
- 31:16Circa, you're going to find me. We're going to bust open the
- 31:19Jander's closet, find a broom, Fred Astaire dance.
- 31:22You're going to show me NC State money line, Indiana State money
- 31:25line. But most importantly, guys,
- 31:28Fresno freaking state money line.
- 31:31I mean, when you cash a ticket like that, that's like the the
- 31:34best, you know, as good as it gets for betting on sports.
- 31:38So show me one of those tickets. First one's on me, next one's on
- 31:40you. We'll post about the book
- 31:42Sweatshark and train plays all night long.
- 31:44So coming off of three and O or an O and 3A2 and one or one and
- 31:48two, a hot streak, a cold streak or just grinding.
- 31:51We got to stick with it guys. Never get too hot or never get
- 31:54too high when things are going well.
- 31:56Never get low or down on yourself when things aren't
- 31:58going your way. Again, we've had some really
- 32:00bad, heartbreaking defeats. That's why, again, you got to
- 32:03stick with it because you know at some point you're going to
- 32:05get some breaks going your way like Fresno State.
- 32:08But as always, guys, we're finding or looking or trying to
- 32:11find, I should say, those games that fit our model against the
- 32:14public with the house, with the pros, flat bet, avoid parlays
- 32:18and get that CLV. If we can do that, I'm confident
- 32:21we're going to be successful sports bettors.
- 32:23So have a great Wednesday night. Everybody cannot wait to get
- 32:25right back on the college hoops hardcore, and we'll be right
- 32:28back at it tomorrow for episode 448 of the All Systems Go Sports
- 32:33Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 32:35Good luck everybody and have a great Wednesday night.
