- 0:19Hello, and welcome to episode 213 of the All Systems Go sports
- 0:25Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:28I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on, everyone?
- 0:35Happy Thirsty Thursday. I am coming to you live from New
- 0:39Mexico. That's right.
- 0:41Now my, what is it? Third straight day here in New
- 0:43Mexico having a great time. I do want to apologize
- 0:46yesterday, did not have a podcast because I had a really
- 0:49busy day. We did a ton of stuff yesterday.
- 0:52We actually went to one of the coolest places I've ever been
- 0:55to, the Trinity test site, which is where the atomic bomb was
- 0:59built and tested. If you've ever seen the movie
- 1:01Oppenheimer, basically I was walking in Oppenheimer, Jews out
- 1:05in the desert. It was unbelievable.
- 1:06We went to this place called the McDonald Ranch House, which is
- 1:09where the whole crew back in 1945 secretly created the atomic
- 1:14bomb. And then we went to the atomic
- 1:16bomb test site, which is called Ground Zero.
- 1:19So pretty amazing. I felt the way to history.
- 1:22It was kind of unbelievable, but it was one of the most kind of
- 1:26somber and coolest and and most humbling experiences of my life
- 1:30because pretty much we saved the world.
- 1:33I know the atomic bomb obviously, you know, had some
- 1:36terrible effects, but it also stopped World War 2, ended the
- 1:40Nazis, you know, stopped the war in the, you know, in the, in
- 1:44the, you know, in the islands in the, in the Far East.
- 1:47So it was pretty unbelievable to kind of see exactly the place
- 1:51where it was created and where it all started.
- 1:53So that's what I did yesterday. It was a long drive out in the
- 1:56desert where I was Actually, it was ironically enough.
- 1:59We got back to the hotel, me and the wife, and the movie Casino
- 2:03was on. One of my favorites, obviously,
- 2:05with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci and the whole crew.
- 2:09But they talk about taking you out in the desert, burying you
- 2:12out there and you'll never be found.
- 2:13Well, that's pretty much where we were at the Trinity test
- 2:16site. So it's been great to be here.
- 2:18Actually, when we got back, we drove by Walter Whiteshouse cuz
- 2:22I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan. And I'll be honest with you
- 2:25guys, it was a little bit underwhelming.
- 2:28It didn't quite exactly look like it did during Breaking Bad.
- 2:31I feel like they like repainted it.
- 2:33But more importantly, like there's a cop car outside and
- 2:36they put up a fence around it and there's this big sign that
- 2:38says leave us alone, take your pictures from across the street
- 2:43and do not disturb us. So a little bit underwhelming.
- 2:45But hey, at least I drove through Walter White's
- 2:48neighborhood and saw, saw the house and I was looking for
- 2:51pizza up on the roof. Couldn't find one, but that was
- 2:54kind of cool. And then actually a couple
- 2:56nights ago, after we did the pod and we spent some time getting
- 3:01getting acclimated to New Mexico, we went toward the
- 3:04University of New Mexico campus, which is pretty cool.
- 3:07A lot of Lobos around there and had a really cool dinner at a
- 3:10place called Pioneer. Very cheap.
- 3:12Bunch of college kids had a great time there as well.
- 3:16And then tonight we're locked and loaded because we were going
- 3:18to an award ceremony for my wife, who I'm very, very proud
- 3:22of getting recognized for her for her excellent work.
- 3:26So I got a free dinner out of it.
- 3:27And then we're going to go very early in the morning tomorrow to
- 3:31drive to Roswell. That's right.
- 3:33You know, I'm a crazy UFO person.
- 3:35And we have a hotel there for a night.
- 3:38We have a UFO tour booked, which I can't wait to see.
- 3:41And it's funny, I've been talking to a lot of people out
- 3:43here and asking them. They're like, oh, hey, what are
- 3:46you doing? I'm saying, oh, we're from New
- 3:47England. We're out here on a a trip for
- 3:49the wife based on her work and they're like where are you
- 3:53going? What you doing?
- 3:54I keep saying I'm going to Roswell.
- 3:55What do you think? I'm trying to get the feel from
- 3:58the locals. Is Roswell in the UFO thing
- 4:00totally BS? Is it real?
- 4:02What do you think? And I tell you what guys, I've
- 4:04probably talked to like 5 or 6 people.
- 4:07Not a single person says that it's BS.
- 4:09A lot of people either say hey, it's probably real or we know
- 4:14someone who believes it or it is real.
- 4:16So I'm getting pretty excited about this.
- 4:18You might be finding out some secrets here.
- 4:21Whatever I find tomorrow I will let you know.
- 4:23But then also, I do want to mention we will do the 4:00
- 4:27Eastern Time Rhythm live stream myself, James Santor, my buddy
- 4:31Adam Rosenberg will jump on. That'll be the official Super
- 4:34Bowl edition. So I'll be coming alive
- 4:36somewhere in Roswell. Hopefully the hotel will check
- 4:39us in in time. But I hope to see you guys there
- 4:41with the live stream. And of course, you haven't done
- 4:43yet Make sure you download Rhythm wherever you get your
- 4:46apps. So with that being said, we got
- 4:48some bets to talk about, even though I can't bet here.
- 4:51Unfortunately, they still haven't legalized sports betting
- 4:54online. Although actually after Roswell
- 4:57Saturday, Sunday, the last leg of our trip, we are going up to
- 4:59Santa Fe and there is a casino there called the Sandia, which
- 5:03I'm very much looking forward to checking out and placing a few
- 5:06bets. So either way, guys, let's talk
- 5:09some bets here because I'm missing you guys.
- 5:11I'm missing sweating some sharp contrarian plays.
- 5:13So it's all going to be college basketball tonight.
- 5:16It's pretty much three small, low bet, obscure games.
- 5:19I did want to mention in terms of the Super Bowl, haven't seen
- 5:22a ton of movement. You know, we're still pretty
- 5:24much chiefs -1 1/2 or -1 You know, bet splits are starting to
- 5:28even out. 56% of bets, 53% of money at DraftKings, which
- 5:34doesn't look great for the Chiefs, but Chiefs look good at
- 5:37circa 56% bets, 69% dollars and we are still seeing some of that
- 5:42smart under money member. It was as high as 49 1/2.
- 5:45It's down to 48 1/2. Going to talk props on
- 5:48tomorrow's rhythm live stream if you're looking for prop bets.
- 5:51But I would also mention, you know, take this with a grain of
- 5:53salt, but right as I was about to record the pod, I saw on
- 5:56Twitter that Jalen Carter, was he not at the media availability
- 6:01or we're going to get a practice report or maybe he has an
- 6:03illness. So who knows.
- 6:04You know I'm locked and loaded money line with the Chiefs, so
- 6:08I'll take it if that's the case. Maybe he's fine, who knows.
- 6:11But that was just one little nugget of information that I
- 6:14noticed on Twitter. Anyway, let's talk some sharp
- 6:17bets here for tonight. 2 low bed obscure sharp line moves, or
- 6:21actually three overall. Let's try to go 2 and one all
- 6:24three money lines and eke out a profit.
- 6:26So first one on the board for me. 7:00 PM Eastern Time tip off
- 6:30Iona visiting Mount Saint Mary's.
- 6:32Now Iona comes into this one nine and 13 on the year, but
- 6:35they're playing better as of late.
- 6:37They've won four of their last five.
- 6:38They just crushed Fairfield 87 to 64.
- 6:41They covered that game as a 5 point home favorite.
- 6:44Meanwhile, Mount Saint Mary's 13 and 9 on the year, They've won
- 6:47two straight, just took down Saint Peter's 79 to 64.
- 6:51They covered as a four point Rd. favorite.
- 6:54So what I'm seeing across the market here, well, some good
- 6:56sharp movement in favor of Mount Saint Mary's.
- 6:59That's where I'm going guys. MSM on the money line.
- 7:02Now, Mount Saint Mary's opened as basically a pick them or a
- 7:05very short one point home favorite.
- 7:08The pickups immediately got up to 1 and now these ones are
- 7:11creeping up to -1 1/2 and I even saw a couple books just now move
- 7:15to -2 so pretty clear movement toward Mount Saint Mary's pick
- 7:19-1 now up to -1 and F -, 2. If you look at DraftKings,
- 7:23pretty good bet split, 65% of spread bets, 83% of spread
- 7:27dollars. So good low bets, higher dollars
- 7:30bet split in their favor. And also the fact that this is a
- 7:32low bet, you know, obscure line move.
- 7:35You know, I don't think anyone woke up on the Thursday before
- 7:37the Super Bowl and said, you know what, I got a bet Iona
- 7:40Mount Saint Mary. So it's a low bet game, yet
- 7:43we're seeing a good split in a line move tells me it's mostly
- 7:45sharp betters with an edge targeting this game and in
- 7:48particular Mount Saint Mary's. Now Ken Palm has Mount Saint
- 7:52Mary's winning by three points, 70 to 67.
- 7:55So if you're at -1 1/2 -, 2, you could just lay it and say, hey,
- 7:58I still got an edge with Ken Palm.
- 8:00However, that just makes me more excited to play the money line.
- 8:03Little bit of an added, you know, kind of padding there or
- 8:06kind of security. Now, Ken Palm does have Mount
- 8:08Saint Mary's ranked higher, 255th in the country.
- 8:11Doesn't sound great, but he's got Iona 278.
- 8:14And this is a pretty cheap money line, Mount Saint Mary's -125
- 8:18and I like the fact that at DraftKings, 74% of money line
- 8:22bets, 85% of money line dollars. So really good bet split low
- 8:26bets, higher dollars in favor of Mount Saint Mary's.
- 8:29Now a few things to bank on for Mount Saint Mary's.
- 8:32Better offensive efficiency, 297th in the country again
- 8:36doesn't sound great, but you look at Iona 334th, you look at
- 8:40effective field goal percentage and edge here for Mount Saint
- 8:42Mary's, 50% versus 46%, better three-point shooting, 33% versus
- 8:4831%, better free throw shooting, 73% versus 69%.
- 8:53It also doesn't hurt that Mount Saint Mary's is 6 and three at
- 8:57home this year. Iona is just three and six on
- 9:00the road, so it's a low bet obscure game.
- 9:03Again, public isn't really interested in this one, but it's
- 9:05pretty clear based on the line move the bet splits.
- 9:08We got Ken Palm in our favor. I'm going to bank on hopefully
- 9:10Mount Saint Mary's winning this game, getting a victory for us.
- 9:14This is the money line play for me.
- 9:15Let's go. Mount Saint Mary's on the money
- 9:18line. The Mountaineers baby.
- 9:20Almost sounds like Take Me Home country roads, doesn't it?
- 9:22Not the West Virginia Mountaineers.
- 9:23Mount Saint Mary's Mountaineers money line play.
- 9:26Win the damn game -125 next one for you.
- 9:30Another low bed obscure game. 7:00 Eastern Time.
- 9:33Elon at Campbell now coming this one.
- 9:36Elon is 15 and 8 on the year. Just snapped A2 game losing skid
- 9:41with a 71 to 60 win over Northeastern.
- 9:44They covered that game as a 3 1/2 point home favorite.
- 9:47Flip it over Campbell 12:00 and 11:00.
- 9:49Not a great record, but they're really turning it on here.
- 9:52They've won five straight. Just crushed Hofstra 75 to 52
- 9:55easily winning outright as a 2 point home dog.
- 9:59So what do we see across the market here?
- 10:00Well, I think if you like Mount Saint Mary's, you like Campbell.
- 10:03Very similar because this game opened at basically a pick em or
- 10:07Campbell -1 at home. And we've now seen Campbell get
- 10:10bet up to -1 1/2. So line is moving toward
- 10:13Campbell. Draft Kings has a decent split,
- 10:1558% of spread bets, 62% of spread dollars.
- 10:20But it's really over at Circa that gets me excited about
- 10:22Campbell. They're getting 83% of spread
- 10:24bets, but 90% of spread dollars. And really to me, why that's
- 10:28notable is it's such a heavy, you know, bets and dollars split
- 10:33in favor of Campbell out in Vegas because you got to think
- 10:35about, you know, Circa who really prides themselves on
- 10:38taking in smart money. You know how many, you know,
- 10:40average Joe bettors at Circa are walking up to the window, you
- 10:43know, early afternoon for a late later game saying Gimme
- 10:47Campbell. You know, that 83 percent, 90%
- 10:49dollars to me tells me it's mostly sharp money here out in
- 10:53Vegas, in particular at Circa, playing Campbell at home now,
- 10:57Ken Palmas, Campbell winning by two points, 68 to 66.
- 11:00Of course, you know what I'm going to do here.
- 11:02Money line, a short home favorite, very decent number
- 11:05here, I think -125 -, 130. And if you look in particular at
- 11:09DraftKings, 66% of money line bets, 89% of money line dollars.
- 11:15So a really good split there. Low bet, higher dollar in favor
- 11:19of Campbell to win the game and a couple of paths to victory.
- 11:22Hopefully Campbell better defensive efficiency.
- 11:24They rank 114th in the country. Flip it the other way and you
- 11:28have Elon ranking 191st better three-point shooting for
- 11:33Campbell, 33% versus 31%, better free throw shooting 77% versus
- 11:3875%. And Campbell takes better care
- 11:41of the ball. They're 58th best and basically
- 11:44the lowest turnover percentage versus 234 for Elon.
- 11:48So Elon gives it up. Campbell hopefully does not.
- 11:51And it's also kind of fishy like Elon's 15 and 8.
- 11:53Even if you apply homecourt, should they be getting 1 1/2 out
- 11:56of team? That's only 12:00 and 11:00.
- 11:58I kind of like that the worst record team is favored with the
- 12:01line move here. So I'm going to embrace this
- 12:03fishy move here in favor of Campbell.
- 12:05I think we played Campbell, I want to say maybe last week or
- 12:08the week before, and they came through for us in a blowout win.
- 12:11Let's see if they can do it again.
- 12:12I got Campbell on the money. Line around -125 -, 130 now.
- 12:17Last bet of the night, Late night, 10:00 Eastern, we got San
- 12:21Diego visiting Pacific. 2 terrible teams with awful
- 12:25records, but hopefully we got a lesser of two evils play now.
- 12:29San Diego comes in four and 20 on the year.
- 12:32They played 24 games. They've lost 20 of them.
- 12:34One of the worst teams in college basketball.
- 12:36They've lost ten straight. They just fell to Loyola
- 12:38Marymount. 78 to 62. Didn't cover as a 7 1/2 point
- 12:42home dog. On the other hand, Pacific not
- 12:45great either but a little bit better. 7 and 18 on the year.
- 12:48They have however dropped five of their last six just got
- 12:51rolled by Santa Clara 83 to 49 didn't cover as a 17 point Rd.
- 12:56dog. So what do we see across the
- 12:58market here? Well Pacific opened as around a
- 13:002 1/2 or 3 point home favorite. And even though this is a late
- 13:04night game low bet game, again public doesn't care about this
- 13:07one. Even if they maybe thought about
- 13:10caring about it. They see probably 2 terrible
- 13:12records and say I don't want any part of this game.
- 13:14However, despite the fact it's a low bet game, we've seen a move
- 13:17toward the Tigers. The Pacific Tigers that is
- 13:21Pacific -2 1/2 -, 3 now up to -3 1/2.
- 13:25If you look at DraftKings, Pacific is getting 70% of spread
- 13:29bets, 80% of spread dollars. Good low bets, higher dollars
- 13:33bet discrepancy, and again, late night 2 bad teams.
- 13:36This is a low back game without much public action.
- 13:39Tells me the smart money is moving this number with wise
- 13:42guys taking a position in favor of Pacific.
- 13:45Now, Ken Palma's Pacific winning by two points, 72 to 70.
- 13:49So with that in mind, I ain't laying a 3 1/2 Pacific wins by
- 13:531-2 or three and I lose. I'm going money line here now.
- 13:56It's a little bit expensive right now.
- 13:59FanDuel is offering -166 I believe that's your best number
- 14:03because I'm seeing some books closer to like -175 So if we're
- 14:06going to go money line here with me, mitigate some risk, just
- 14:09bank on a hopefully win the damn gameplay.
- 14:12Definitely shop Brown, try to get that lowest number -166 but
- 14:16you look at Pacific, better offensive efficiency, 282 in the
- 14:19country versus 328 for San Diego, better effective field
- 14:24goal percentage, 47% versus 45% and better three-point shooting,
- 14:2930% versus 28%. Also, you look at home Rd.
- 14:33Pacific on the year 4 and seven at home, not great, but San
- 14:37Diego is O and eight on the road.
- 14:39So again, two terrible teams. Can Pacific be the lesser of two
- 14:43evils? I'm hoping that they will be.
- 14:45I got a Pacific money line play. Let's go tigers -166 so Mount
- 14:51Saint Mary's, Campbell and Pacific 3 plays all three money
- 14:54lines. Let's try to go 2 and one and
- 14:56eek out a winning day. So with that, with that being
- 15:00said guys, wrapping up the pod here again, a little bit shorter
- 15:02than usual because I actually got to go pick the wife up at
- 15:05the office. She's meeting and greeting all
- 15:07of her Co workers who she's known virtually for for for
- 15:11years and meeting for the first time out here in New Mexico.
- 15:14But I do want to wrap up of course with a few things we
- 15:17always like to mention at the end of the ASG pod #1 if you
- 15:21enjoy the pod, if you missed it yesterday, then please do me a
- 15:25solid. If you can let me know you
- 15:26appreciate the pod by doing one simple thing, giving the podcast
- 15:30a five star review. If you're listening on Spotify

- 15:52terms of turning someone on to something.
- 15:55They always take it more seriously if it's from someone
- 15:57that they know and they respect. Next, if you enjoy this style of
- 16:02betting breakdown, no bias, no opinion.
- 16:04We're looking and betting based upon what the market is telling
- 16:07us. Where's the smart money going
- 16:09trying to bet against the public?

- 19:01Or sweat and sharp contrarian plays, jumping in the stadium
- 19:03swim pool when you catch a big ticket at Circo wherever.
- 19:06Maybe. And it's been a couple days, but
- 19:08last time we had a pod 2 and 1 + 0.56 units, remember?
- 19:13Had a couple wins with actually, who was it that night?
- 19:16It was Northwestern, UCLA, and BYU.
- 19:20So that was Northwestern came through for the team UCLA, BYU
- 19:24was the one loser there. But either way, strung together
- 19:27a couple two in one days. So we shall take it.
- 19:30But flash me one of those tickets.
- 19:31Northwestern, UCLA first one's on me, next one's on you.
- 19:34We're going to post about the book.
- 19:35Sweat sharp contrarian plays all night long as always.
- 19:39Guys 2 and O, 1 and 2, three and OO and three again.
- 19:45We always want to win every bet we make, but we know that sports
- 19:47betting is difficult. It's hard to beat these sharp
- 19:49lines the odds maker set. It's hard to get the best of the
- 19:52number. It's hard to avoid bad beats and
- 19:54ref screwing you and injuries and all these different, you
- 19:57know, randomness and unlucky plays that can happen.
- 20:00But we know that we can win long term if we stick to the model
- 20:03against the public, with the house, with the pros, flat bet,
- 20:06avoid parlays, get that CLV. If we can do that, we're going
- 20:09to be successful sports betters. So have a great Thirsty
- 20:12Thursday, everybody. It's funny, my family and
- 20:15everyone back home in Massachusetts, apparently
