- 0:17Hello, and welcome to episode 199 of the All Systems Go sports
- 0:23Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:26I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on everyone?
- 0:33Happy Thirsty Thursday. Our work week rolls on almost
- 0:37getting to the weekend, which happens to be one of my favorite
- 0:40betting weekends of the year that's right final final weekend
- 0:43of the year where we got doubleheader NFL playoff action
- 0:462 games on Saturday 2 games on Sunday.
- 0:49I just want to give you guys a quick update here before I dive
- 0:51into all of our sweats and recap last night.
- 0:53By the way, I do have a 5 pack of plays for you today, guys for
- 0:57college basketball plays, three sides, 1 total and one NHL play
- 1:01as well with a good sharp line move.
- 1:02But just want to wet your whistle, update you on some of
- 1:05these playoff games. One, Houston, Kansas City, Now
- 1:08we have seen Kansas City hang around -8 -, 8 and a half.
- 1:12One thing I did notice is pretty much all of these games, the bet
- 1:15splits at DraftKings are pretty much 5050.
- 1:18Like there's no team getting more than like 60% of bets or
- 1:22less than 40% of bets. So public is somewhat undecided
- 1:25on a lot of these games. One thing I did notice Texans
- 1:28Kansas City was that rhythm does have Texans plus 6.7.
- 1:32And again, Kansas City typically wins these games don't doesn't
- 1:36always cover and there is a system fading a divisional round
- 1:39favorite off a buy that's 58% against the spread over the last
- 1:42decade. Also notice a little bit of line
- 1:43movement toward that under that was as high as 42 1/2.
- 1:47Now it's down to around 41 1/2. It is just a little bit to the
- 1:50under and that is going to be a windy cold under play.
- 1:53So maybe Houston, the points, maybe the under.
- 1:55I'll be honest with you, I haven't played any of these yet.
- 1:58I'm waiting a little bit. Let's give it a couple more
- 2:00days. A lot of the public action is
- 2:02really going to going to pile up here over the last 24 to 48
- 2:05hours. Again, a lot of public betters
- 2:07are still, you know, knee deep in their work week, haven't
- 2:09played these games yet. You can always kind of count on
- 2:12the fact that, you know, regular average Joe casual betters,
- 2:15they're going to bet closer to game time.
- 2:16Whereas sharps tend to sometimes bet games earlier because they
- 2:19feel like they have an edge and want to get a good number before
- 2:22it moves. Washington Detroit is
- 2:24interesting because we have seen Detroit at some shops go to -9
- 2:281/2. They were hanging 8 1/2 at one
- 2:30point. Did they get to 10?
- 2:32I do a rhythm system match here, Commanders plus 6.3.
- 2:36So if you can give me a 10, I might be intrigued to play
- 2:38Washington there. I did notice that circa only 24%
- 2:42of bets, but 47% of dollars on Jayden Daniels in that spot.
- 2:46Also. That is a very high total as
- 2:48high as 56. Now it's down to around 55 1/2.
- 2:51That would be a high total under system match.
- 2:54If you look at those high total unders 47 or more, they're three
- 2:57and O this postseason they're 65% over the last.
- 3:00Was it since 2017 Rams in Philly?
- 3:04I'm intrigued by the Rams here. Can you give me a 6 1/2 with the
- 3:07Rams? I believe there's one book at 6
- 3:091/2. Most of the market is Philly -6
- 3:11although it's a little bit juiced up.
- 3:13But I did notice that Rhythm has Rams plus 4.1.
- 3:17That would also be a divisional dog getting six or more.
- 3:21That's been a good bet historically. 59% ATS since 2017
- 3:25at circa 62% bets. 81% dollars on the Rams there.
- 3:30So if you give me the hook I could I could be enticed by the
- 3:33Rams and then the granddaddy of them all, which man this is
- 3:37going to break records for for handle because it's the late
- 3:40game on Sunday 630 Baltimore Buffalo, man, you tell me like
- 3:45Buffalo, I'm not going to argue with you.
- 3:47You tell me like Baltimore, I'm not going to argue with you.
- 3:49This is going to be an epic battle here.
- 3:51Now we have seen a dog to fave line move in favor of Baltimore.
- 3:55Remember the Bills open this game around A1 or 1 1/2 point
- 3:58home favorite and it has flipped to Baltimore now -1 -, 1 1/2.
- 4:03So that is dog to fave Baltimore.
- 4:05I did notice that Circa is only got 52% bets, but over 90% money
- 4:10on Baltimore and Rhythm has Ravens -2 so my my, I don't
- 4:16know. I guess I just don't want to
- 4:17dismiss Buffalo, but there are a lot of clear signs as of right
- 4:20now that Buffalo is taking in the smart money here.
- 4:22So, and we'll see how that one develops.
- 4:24Again, we're sitting at one 1 1/2.
- 4:26Does it, does it maybe creep up to two?
- 4:28Does it come back down to a pick?
- 4:30That's something to monitor between now and Sunday.
- 4:33And then also, I think this weekend could be a teaser
- 4:35weekend. I think you have a good
- 4:36opportunity here if you want to play Kansas City just to kind of
- 4:40get out of there with a win, you know, write some books for eight
- 4:42and a half. Eight, if you can take them down
- 4:44to -2 -. 2 1/2 that could be worth a play.
- 4:47The other angle would be if you do like Buffalo, why not take
- 4:50him 1 1/2 up to 7 1/2, go through some key numbers and
- 4:53then Philly, you like him to win that game, but maybe not cover.
- 4:57Maybe Philly eeks out a close win.
- 4:59Six, 6 1/2 down to basically a pick.
- 5:01So there's teaser options. We got some rhythm angles.
- 5:04We got good percentages. I have not placed a bet yet, but
- 5:08I'm going to monitor these over the next few days.
- 5:09And those are just some initial thoughts on a huge divisional
- 5:12round weekend. Now looking back toward last
- 5:15night before we dive into our sweats for today.
- 5:17As I mentioned, A5 pack on tap for college hoops one NHL last
- 5:23night again, hopefully you got that Uri plus 4 1/2.
- 5:26That was one of those games where I probably deserved a loss
- 5:28because hey, I got plus 3 1/2. I jumped the gun. 4 1/2 was the
- 5:33closing number. Won't don't you know they lose
- 5:35by 4, So I lose. But on the pod mentioned, hey,
- 5:38if you played it, that was a four and a half.
- 5:39So if you were able to get Uri 4 1/2, you were able to cash that
- 5:43ticket. Virginia suffered a back
- 5:45breaking defeat at the buzzer, but they did cover the plus 6
- 5:481/2. So love seeing that Orlando,
- 5:50Milwaukee and the NBA also came through over 211 1/2.
- 5:54The ones that were are losers there.
- 5:56Stanford plus seven half. That was such a frustrating
- 5:59sweat because they got off to a great start.
- 6:01They pretty much led the game for 75% of the time.
- 6:05And then in the last three or four minutes, there was a kid, I
- 6:07think his name is Hunter Salas, absolutely took over and hit
- 6:11every single shot. Then up losing by I think was it
- 6:1410-11, something like that. But that was brutal because if
- 6:17you're like me, you got a 7 1/2. I think they closed at like 5
- 6:201/2. I would.
- 6:21Of course, they crumble down the stretch.
- 6:22And then Brooklyn Clippers, Oh, man, someone should have told
- 6:26the Nets they had a game last night.
- 6:27Couldn't get the over 213 1/2 because the Nets could not
- 6:31score. They could not hit the broadside
- 6:33of a barn. That one was tough because they
- 6:35ended up scoring 67 points. Clippers put up 125 but came up
- 6:40short in terms of the total. So if you're able to get that
- 6:43Uri 4 1/2, unlike me, you got a better number.
- 6:45That was a winning night based on the pod numbers, 3 and 2 +
- 6:480.69 units. So turning the page here
- 6:52literally and figuratively, I don't know if you guys can hear
- 6:54that. That's me with my notebook
- 6:56flipping the page. But I do have a 5 pack for you.
- 6:58So let's dive right in. Starting with college hoops.
- 7:02Got a play here early on and I'm looking at let me get all my
- 7:06numbers together first one, Georgia Southern and Coastal
- 7:10Carolina. Now I've been getting a lot of
- 7:12DMS, tweets, questions about this game because I wrote about
- 7:15this earlier today and there has been some buyback.
- 7:17But as always, I'm going to dance with the one who brung me
- 7:20now. 7:00 tonight, Georgia Southern visiting coastal
- 7:23Georgia Southern comes in eight and nine on the year.
- 7:26They've dropped three in a row, though.
- 7:27Just fell to Marshall 8169, did not cover as a 7 1/2 point Rd.
- 7:32dog. Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina 8-9
- 7:35on the year. They've lost two straight, just
- 7:37came up short against Georgia State, 79 to 75, didn't cover as
- 7:41a three-point Rd. dog. So what have we seen across the
- 7:44market here? Well, this one's a little bit
- 7:46been been a little bit back and forth because basically we open
- 7:49this game with Coastal Carolina listed around A2 point favorite.
- 7:54One point. Coastal Carolina got all the way
- 7:56up to 2 1/2. And then -3 and I was saying to
- 8:00myself, oh, this thing's creeping.
- 8:02Might be time to pounce on Coastal Carolina.
- 8:04Since that time, the line has come back down to basically
- 8:07coastal -1 1/2. So again, open the current.
- 8:11It jacked up toward Coastal Carolina.
- 8:13There's been buyback. It has come back down.
- 8:16But here's why I'm going to stick with my coastal money line
- 8:18now. I got coastal at -140 on the
- 8:21money line again, short number money line, short favorites.
- 8:24As long as they win the game, hey, it doesn't matter if you
- 8:27just play money line versus spread.
- 8:28Yes, you're paying a little more juice, but that juice is, I
- 8:31think, important because again, they win by one or two.
- 8:34You lay 1 1/2, you know, you lose your bet, or maybe you just
- 8:37cash there by the hook. But anyway, I got a bad -140 I
- 8:40jumped the gun on coastal. I feel like that's been
- 8:43happening to me recently. I don't know what's going on.
- 8:45But you can now get them around -125 if you want to play Coastal
- 8:48Carolina. And here's some reasons to light
- 8:50Coastal. One, if you look at the money
- 8:53line tickets currently at DraftKings, 75% of money line
- 8:57bets, 92% of money line dollars. And this is a lower back game.
- 9:01So again, maybe there's maybe there's battling sharps here,
- 9:04maybe there's sharps who again, like coastal at an early number
- 9:08and then said, hey, when Georgia Southern got to 2 1/2 or three,
- 9:11that's when you saw some buyback.
- 9:12But one thing that hopefully will help us, those of us who
- 9:15are going to stick with Coastal, one thing to, you know, put in
- 9:17our back pocket is that Ken Palm has coastal winning this game by
- 9:21three points. He's got a winning 71 to 68.
- 9:24So hopefully that is an edge here toward Coastal.
- 9:27And when I was breaking down this game, here's a lot of
- 9:29factors that pointed me toward Coastal.
- 9:31Better offensive efficiency. 264 in the country versus three O 8
- 9:35for Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern is one of the
- 9:37worst offensive teams in college hoops.
- 9:40Coastal has the better effective field goal percentage, 51%
- 9:43versus 49%. Better three-point shooting, 34%
- 9:47versus 32% and again, always crucial in the tight game, free
- 9:51throw shooting, you get to the line, can you make your free
- 9:53throws 70% versus 65%. Also, Coastal better
- 9:58defensively, they're only giving up 68 points per game
- 10:01defensively versus on the flip side, Georgia Southern giving up
- 10:0579 points per game. So for that, coastal defense can
- 10:08shut down Georgia Southern. Then, of course, lastly, Home
- 10:12Rd., Coastal Carolina, five and two at home, Georgia Southern
- 10:16just one and seven on the road. By the way, we do have, as I
- 10:20mentioned, Ken Palm predicting coastal by three.
- 10:22Well, our friends at Rhythm have coastal -2.5 and -3 so again, I
- 10:28was surprised to see this really fall back down toward Georgia
- 10:31Southern. But sticking with the original
- 10:33cap, putting some faith here in that Ken Palm and Rhythm
- 10:36prediction. Here again, I got a bad coastal
- 10:38money line -140 if you want to play them, they're now as low as
- 10:41-125 But either way, let's go coastal.
- 10:45Keep on cruising. Next one for you, let's look at
- 10:49match up here, Southeast Missouri State and Tennessee
- 10:53Tech. Now coming into it, we have
- 10:55Southeast Missouri State 9 and 9.
- 10:58They've lost three of their last four however, and just fell to
- 11:00Little Rock 73 to 71. Lost outright as a 2 point home
- 11:04favorite. Meanwhile, Tennessee Tech 9:00
- 11:06and 8:00 on the air. They just saw their five
- 11:08game-winning streak however come to an end.
- 11:09They lost to SIU Edwardsville 67 to 59.
- 11:13Failed to cover as a six point Rd. dog.
- 11:16So what we've seen across the market here, well, this one's
- 11:18also gone a little bit back and forth.
- 11:20This game open Tennessee Tech listed as low as a 1 1/2 or two
- 11:24point home favorite. And we've seen big smart money
- 11:27early Hammer, Tennessee Tech got all the way up to -2 1/2.
- 11:31Some books even got up to three. But similar to the game we just
- 11:34mentioned, you have seen some buyback once it got to Tennessee
- 11:37Tech, you know -2 1/2 - 3. That's when you saw some
- 11:41Southeast Missouri State buyback.
- 11:42This line is back down to 1 1/2. A lot of shops are juiced up
- 11:46like it may go back to two. So we're kind of right back to
- 11:48where we started now one thing I did like is the fact this is a
- 11:52very low obscure bet game. Public isn't interested in
- 11:56Southeast Missouri State and Tennessee Tech Always remember,
- 11:59if you can't name the mascots of each team, public probably
- 12:02doesn't want any interest in this game.
- 12:03It's not sexy, it's not popular enough.
- 12:06But anyway, with that being said, 78% of bets, 86% of
- 12:10dollars on Tennessee Tech. Now you may say, hey, that's
- 12:12public, right? That's a majority tickets.
- 12:16By by definition it's a majority tickets.
- 12:18But remember, this is a very low back game.
- 12:20So it tells me it's mostly respected.
- 12:22Better to have targeted this game and gone with the home
- 12:24team. Now once again, money line play.
- 12:27I got a another bad -140 you can get a -, 125 here if you want to
- 12:32play Tennessee Tech at this point.
- 12:34But Tennessee Tech does have a a good split here. 75% of money
- 12:39line bets, 81% of money line dollars, good pro and Joe split
- 12:44and also a lot of advantages here.
- 12:45Statistically, Tennessee Tech better offensive efficiency, 296
- 12:50in the country versus 316th for Southeast Missouri State, better
- 12:54effective field goal percentage, 50% versus 49%, better
- 12:58three-point shooting, 36% versus 33% better free throw shooting,
- 13:0370% versus 69%. So they're not huge
- 13:06discrepancies, but basically a lot of these offensive
- 13:09categories. Tennessee Tech has been better.
- 13:12Hopefully they they come to play here tonight and make their
- 13:14shots. But also I'll give Tennessee
- 13:16Tech this advantage. Rest first tired.
- 13:19They last played on the 11th of January.
- 13:22Southeast Missouri State played on the 14th.
- 13:24So this is kind of a quick turn around for Southeast Missouri
- 13:27State. Whereas again, Tennessee Tech
- 13:29rested and has been in the gym preparing Tennessee Tech also,
- 13:33let's hope this continues. 6 and O at home, Southeast Missouri
- 13:37State, two and five on the road. So you add it all up again, bend
- 13:41a little bit back and forth. I think with these small, small
- 13:43back games might have some dueling sharp action, which is
- 13:46why I see it go up and come back down.
- 13:48But again, the angle here is that Ken Palm has a winning by
- 13:511. And if we look at Tennessee Tech
- 13:54based on rhythm, they are -1.9 and -2.2.
- 13:59So let's win the damn game. You can now get Tennessee tech
- 14:02-125 another one for you. This is a 9:00 sweat, UTEP in
- 14:08Liberty. So this is a 9:00 game on CBS
- 14:11Sports Network if you want to sweat it.
- 14:13UTEP comes in 12 and 4. Then a long winning streak going
- 14:17where I think they won six in a row.
- 14:18Just got rolled though by New Mexico coming off a loss.
- 14:22And if you look at Liberty, 14 and three, really good record.
- 14:25They just had a 2 game-winning streak come to an end.
- 14:27They lost to La Tech 79 to 74. So in terms of the side, you did
- 14:33see the sign creep a little bit back down toward UTEP getting
- 14:35nine. It was basically liberty -9
- 14:37eight and a half down to 8. But I'm going to focus on the
- 14:40total here and I'm going to, I'm going to expect some points in
- 14:42this one. I'm going over 134 1/2 now.
- 14:46A couple things I noticed. That's what it's a little bit
- 14:50pro and Joe 70% bets nearly 80% dollars on the over.
- 14:54But if you look at the total, it opened at 1:34, it's now 134
- 14:581/2, but it got as high as 135. So it's really been only moving
- 15:02upward and really it never got down to 133 1/2.
- 15:07So it's either stayed the same or, you know, actually risen
- 15:10across the market. If you look at Ken Palm and
- 15:13Rhythm, it's not a huge edge like Ken Palm has it right at
- 15:15134, Rhythm has 134.7. But here are some reasons to
- 15:20hopefully look for some offense here.
- 15:22One, I do like the line moving toward UTEP, toward the dog
- 15:25because more competitive game. Hopefully back and forth you get
- 15:28some scoring. But both these teams are pretty
- 15:31good offensive teams. UTEP's averaging 74 points a
- 15:34game, Liberty is averaging 80 points a game.
- 15:37If you look at their three-point shooting, both really good 3
- 15:40point shooting teams. Knock on wood, hope you make
- 15:42your trays tonight. But UTEP is shooting 38% from 3,
- 15:46Liberty is shooting 39% from three.
- 15:49So again, for good 3 point shooting teams, good for an
- 15:52over, both have above 50% field goal percentage, effective field
- 15:58goal percentage. UTEP is 51.4%, Liberty is 57.7%.
- 16:03And if you look at the other angle here that I like, it's out
- 16:06there very well rested. They haven't played since the
- 16:0911th of January. So basically, again, you've been
- 16:13rested, ready to go, you've been in the gym working on your game.
- 16:17So if you Add all up, I think it's an opportunity here to
- 16:19hopefully cash this over. I got over 134 1/2.
- 16:23Again, that's a pretty widely available number, but we have
- 16:26two good offenses. We got good 3 point shooting,
- 16:29good effective field goal shooting, rested pretty much
- 16:32right on the number, but pointing toward ones pointing
- 16:35towards 135. I'm going to see if we can
- 16:37escape this one with a with an over.
- 16:39So give me UTEP Liberty over 134 1/2 last but of the night.
- 16:45Pacific and Portland probably didn't expect this one.
- 16:48I wrote about this one. Here's that.
- 16:49Here's a line that actually did move in our favor since this
- 16:52morning, which is good to see because I'm getting frustrated
- 16:55by these these these lines moving the wrong way after I bet
- 16:58them tells me maybe I'm I'm betting these games too early in
- 17:01the day. Who knows?
- 17:02But anyway, Pacific Portland noticed a sharp move toward
- 17:06Portland. Let's set the stage here.
- 17:08We have two bad teams going ahead dead 10:00 game here
- 17:11tonight. Pacific is 6 and 14.
- 17:14They've lost ten of their last 11 just got crushed by Oregon
- 17:17State 91 to 55 didn't cover as a nine point home dog.
- 17:21Meanwhile, Portland also not a very good team, a bad team,
- 17:24whatever you want to call them. 5 and 13 on the year.
- 17:27They've lost five in a row, just fell to San Francisco 8172.
- 17:31But they did cover, they're getting 19 in that one and they
- 17:33cover the number. So Pacific 6 and 14, Portland's
- 17:375 and 13, two bad teams, but it's pretty clear the line is
- 17:40moving toward Portland. This game open to Portland
- 17:43listed as a very short 1 or 1 1/2 point home favorite.
- 17:47And I was writing about this game earlier today, saw them
- 17:50jump up to -2 which was notable. Now they're up to -2 1/2, even
- 17:55going towards 3. So good.
- 17:57Good sign here that even though the money lines getting more
- 17:59expensive, like I got Portland at -130 you can now get them
- 18:03around -145 it's a little bit more expensive.
- 18:06But it is a good sign that you're kind of with that sharp,
- 18:10sharp money in that good move. Now let's look at the bet
- 18:12splits. Draft Kings is showing Portland
- 18:1579% bets, 92% dollars. Again, that's a heavy majority,
- 18:19but there's a late game. It's extremely low bet.
- 18:22This is one of our classic low bet, sharp, obscure line moves.
- 18:25Also, if you look at the money line, tickets here also look
- 18:30pretty good on Portland 69% bets, 88% dollars.
- 18:34Now Ken Palm has Portland winning by one point, but our
- 18:38friends at Rhythm have Portland -1.4.
- 18:41So not huge, but again, both Ken Palm and Rhythm have Portland
- 18:44winning this game. So money lining Portland here
- 18:47-130 now -145 that's all we need is to win the game.
- 18:51Portland has better three-point shooting, 31% versus 28%, better
- 18:56free throw shooting 77% versus 74% and also a rest advantage.
- 19:02They last played the Portland Pilots on January 9th.
- 19:05Pacific played on the 11th home Rd. splits also favorite Port,
- 19:09favorite Portland. Now Portland is four and five at
- 19:11home. Nothing great but Pacific one
- 19:14and eight on the road. So a little bit obscure game
- 19:17here. Public has no interest in this
- 19:18matchup, but it's pretty clear smart money is playing the home
- 19:21team. So I'm going to play Portland to
- 19:23win the game again. I got a -, 130.
- 19:25Now they're upwards of -145 SA four pack here.
- 19:29Can we get 2 or more coastal Tennessee Tech in Portland on
- 19:33the money line? UTEP Liberty over 134 1/2.
- 19:37Now to finish up the five pack here on a big thirsty Thursday.
- 19:40Let's go to the NHL. There's one game here across the
- 19:44across the ice that caught my eye and it is New Jersey Devils,
- 19:48Toronto Maple Leafs. SO2 good teams facing off here.
- 19:52The Devils 2615 and five, Toronto 26 or sorry, 2716 and
- 19:57two. But they're they're both
- 19:59struggling a bit, I guess you could say.
- 20:01Maple Leafs have lost three straight, Devils have lost three
- 20:04of their last five S. Both should be eager here to
- 20:07play well. But it's pretty clear smart
- 20:10money is going in One Direction and that's where I want to be.
- 20:12I always want to be with the sharp action, the smart money.
- 20:15And it's toward the Devils. So I got the Devils.
- 20:17I got the Devils at -128 at FanDuel.
- 20:19Now the Devils, at one point, it was basically a pick em game
- 20:22minus one O 5 - 110. Now the Devils have shot up all
- 20:25the way to -130 So big steam, big sharp move here hitting New
- 20:30Jersey. I really haven't seen any
- 20:31buyback the other way on Toronto.
- 20:33It's been really one way in favor of the Devils.
- 20:36Really good bet splits at DraftKings.
- 20:38The Devils are only getting 44% of bets but 63% of dollars on
- 20:43the money line and circa similar, only 50% bets but 93%
- 20:48dollars. So good low bets, higher dollars
- 20:50bets split in favor of the Devil's.
- 20:52If you if we are taking a look at the goalies, which again is
- 20:56always important. It's like when you're betting
- 20:58baseball and you're looking at the the starting pitchers.
- 21:01Don't have confirmation on Jacob Markstrom yet, but he is
- 21:04expected it looks like to play or to start.
- 21:07Joseph Wall is definitely going to play here or at least as the
- 21:11expected starter for Toronto. But hopefully it's Markstrom
- 21:13because he's been really good this year.
- 21:15Remember free agency pickup Devil's been looking for a
- 21:17goalie for a long time and Markstrom has paid off thus far.
- 21:212.15 goals against, 913 save percentage.
- 21:24Jacob Wall or Joseph Wall has been pretty decent. 2.65 goals
- 21:29against, nine O 8 save percentage.
- 21:31But in the month of January, again, what have you done for me
- 21:34lately? Markstrom's been a lot better
- 21:36than Wall. Markstrom in five January
- 21:38starts, 2.1 Three goals against, 917 say percentage.
- 21:43Wall 3.2, two goals against, 895 say percentage.
- 21:48So obviously in the month of January, we're halfway through
- 21:51now at this point, but we have seen Markstrom better than Wall.
- 21:55Also some stat categories here. Slightly better offense for the
- 21:59Devils. 3.1 goals per game versus 3 for the Leafs and a
- 22:04defensive edge. 2.5 goals allowed per game versus 2.8 for
- 22:08Toronto. And if we look at the special
- 22:11teams, one thing I'll bank on hopefully is maybe a power play
- 22:14goal or two. That'll be nice for the Devils.
- 22:17They have a 28% power play conversion rate versus 20% for
- 22:21Toronto. Also throwing motivation.
- 22:24These teams have played twice this year, Toronto's two and O.
- 22:26So Devils. Hopefully you remember that and
- 22:28you get up to play and want some want to enact some revenge.
- 22:31And I did also notice John Tavares, really good player
- 22:35here. He's he's getting up there in
- 22:36age, but really good forward there.
- 22:39He was their captain. I think he relinquished that.
- 22:41But he is out for this game. So you have one of your better
- 22:44players not playing for Toronto. So you had it all up pretty
- 22:48clear steam hitting New Jersey, really haven't seen any buyback.
- 22:52I play the Devils on the money line.
- 22:54I got him at -128 at FanDuel. So let's go Devils.
- 22:59So that about does it for episode 199 of the ASG pod

- 26:54Patrick Maher and Dustin Sweetlson.

- 27:00these these postseason games. And then I'm also going to be
- 27:03joining Philadelphia Fox Radio, which I'm very much looking

- 27:10pod. So it'll be, sorry, it'll be Fox
- 27:13Sports Radio New Jersey at 5:30 PM with Mike Cohen.
- 27:17So I'm, I'm looking forward to that.
- 27:18So I got some media appearances. I got to I got to get out there
- 27:21on the airwaves. But as always, guys, I'll leave
- 27:23you with a couple things. One, whether I see you at the
- 27:26Borgata in Atlantic City, Twin River in Rhode Island, the
- 27:29Brooklyn, New Hampshire, Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, down in
- 27:32Connecticut at the Encore in Boston or Plain Ridge Park
- 27:35Casino or MGM Springfield. In my neck of the woods in
- 27:37Massachusetts. Out in the desert where the true
- 27:40grinders get down, where Billy Walters sends his number
- 27:42runners, where the lowest juice possible is found at the South
- 27:45Point or sweat and sharp contrarian plays jumping in the
- 27:48stadium swimming pool. When you cash a big ticket at
- 27:50Circa, wherever it may be, you're going to walk up to me.
- 27:53Hopefully you're going to show me Uri plus 4 1/2 Virginia plus
- 27:576 1/2 Orlando. Milwaukee over, man, Stanford.
- 28:01Bad beat. Don't show me that one that'll
- 28:03just annoy me. But either way, guys, first
- 28:05one's on me, next one's on you. We're going to post about the
- 28:07book and sweat some sharp contrarian data-driven plays all
- 28:10night long. Maybe we'll get some free drink
- 28:12tickets. That's always nice when you
- 28:14place a bet and then they give you a few drink tickets.
- 28:16Also make sure you tip your your bartender or whoever walks
- 28:20around giving you giving you drinks.
- 28:23But anyway, guys, as always, finishing up here with some
- 28:26words of wisdom that I've learned over time.
- 28:29You know, whether whether we're five and OO and five, one and
- 28:32four, four and one, three and two, two and three again, always
- 28:36grinding. The mindset never changes.
- 28:38And that's I think something important to keep sight of.
- 28:40When you're hot, you're never as hot as you think.
- 28:42When you're cold, you're never as bad as you think.
- 28:44You're always somewhere in the middle.
- 28:45And I think there's virtue in grinding because sports betting
- 28:48is difficult. It ain't easy.
- 28:51You know, it's hard to be it's hard to be a consistent winning
- 28:53better because we got to overcome the juice beat the
- 28:55really sharp lines, the odds maker set.
- 28:57We got to get the right numbers before they move or wait them
- 29:00out to get their best price. We got to avoid bad beats and
- 29:03refs screwing us. There are a couple fouls in that
- 29:07Uri game that just, you know, it made me furious because they
- 29:09didn't call him. But hey, that's sports betting.
- 29:11Sometimes the brakes go your way, sometimes they don't.
- 29:13But you know what you can do to be a successful sports better
- 29:16long term? Stick to the model, stick to the
- 29:19blueprint, trust the data. Make bets with your head and not
- 29:21your heart. Against the public, with the
- 29:23house, with the pros. Flat bet, avoid parlays, get
- 29:26that closing line value if we can do that long term, and I'm
- 29:29confident that we can. And guess what, we're going to
- 29:31be successful sports bettors. So enjoy the sweats.
- 29:34Everyone have a great Thirsty Thursday and we'll be right back
- 29:37at it tomorrow for a big Friday, which will be episode 5.
- 29:40I almost said 500. Episode 200.
- 29:43Maybe we'll have the UFC bet for you, Hopefully.
- 29:47Hope there's a couple of monitoring.
- 29:48We'll see what we'll see what that move, those late moves
- 29:50coming where my buddy John Ewing gives us some of those bet
- 29:53splits. But either way, guys, back at it
- 29:54tomorrow on a big Friday. That'll be episode 200 of the
