• 0:15
  Speaker 1: All right, well, six day the five.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Hundred dollars Mystery Mini Mystery Millions.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: So it's the event I played last year, event number one,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: only this year they dropped the buy in to five
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: hundred and they're calling it the Mini Mystery Millions. And
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: then later in the series they're doing the regular one
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: that I did last year.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The question everyone wants to know, John, what is the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: rake at the five hundred dollars tournament?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Who cares? It doesn't matter who cares.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I think Caesars is charging sixteen.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I could look on the apple, we'll say it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they want you to know. No, yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think they want you to know. But however,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: World Series of Pokers.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Wait, but you admitted yesterday I said to you because
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I brought up some points.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You have some valid points. They're hosting it their bringing
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in. But I just think about
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what Benny Binyon.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: There's no line anymore.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The app is excellent. There's no line. They have put
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: some money into the app. They have done some things
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that is that have been done well. Uh And I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: know some of the management and stuff. They watch us,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they kind of think we're funny, back and forth, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it's just that, like I said, Benny Binyon charged nothing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: At first, it was just to get people in the door.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And now I know it's a just it's a big business.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But just you know, average tournaments were for for decades
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: charging ten percent or less, and that number is no
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: longer anywhere. It seems like it's always ten percent or more.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Five point of total buying is the staff fee?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, the staff fee is that high? Let me see this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, that means this this is a so the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: staff fee. I'm surprised they divulged this on the app.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Five point one percent. Oh, I hit something. John I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: went to Who's just girls? It's okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

• 2:33
  Speaker 1: about it off air.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Oh you're killing me.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, nothing against just just you know, what do

  Speaker 2: He's great?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: No, you know what, did I see these videos? I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: seen a couple of videos, and I've seen a couple
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of things on the other and you know, I really
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have nothing against in person. I've seen him. I say hello,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and we'll talk about it. It's don't be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care if I see him. It
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't do anything for me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But remember Vegas Police. Yeah you liked it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I've seen Vegas Police see it. The first
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: time I seen him was that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Oh god, we don't remember. At first you were like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I never go up to people, right, But actually went
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: up to him. I liked the video he did, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he kind of like, you know, well but some of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: people are having a day. Yeah, like you know, it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like a little bit of a half jerk off, like
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But my point is that you had him on
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and you liked him.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I did. I thought he was great.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, same thing as I have with Don Johnson.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Okay, all right, I'll go Okay, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Got him, I got him.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Johnny Hollywood got me, I got him all the Hollywood people.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, Yeah, a couple of things though, World
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Series starting up. Yeah, five point one just for the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: staff fate. So the answer is no. When you go
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to the cage to cash out and the clerk is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: trained to say how much do you want to tip?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You guys take a sefie out of the buying already right,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: oh zero? I mean I love the.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Tip though, Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But if they're taking five point one percent out of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the tournament.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You paid it, Wow, that's a lot.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That's a big percent for staff. Five point one percent,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: another twelve percent, that's like a seventeen percent tournament. That's unbelievable.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It might be more than that. I like to report back.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I'll find out. So but again, I love tipping. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the tips are there, they're there, right, I agree with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that five percent. They're tipping twenty five dollars out of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: every losing poker player that comes in and gives five
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars they get busted out. Well, only four seventy
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: fives are going back to the pool's twenty five dollars
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for the dealers and the floor people.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this last year, it was like
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: nineteen to nineteen thousand, six hundred and forty people ish
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: played in the thousand dollars.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Buy in mystery millions.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: This year they dropped the buy in or they added
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: an event. They're still gonna do that one from last year.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They added this other one. Now it's five hundred. Does
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: that mean we will get double the entries and this
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is gonna be at the end of the day forty
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: thousand entries?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: No? No, but guys are gonna fire more.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Can you be rebuying that? Yeah?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Unlimited?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's two max. You're looking at it right, all right?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So two entries max that means they're taking per flight
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: another five percent out of those rebuys, even five point
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just for the staff.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But that's how you get there with the bounties.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, I'm talking to five percent.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Actually I'm talking the staff.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Money right right right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about saying, if you can get me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a job.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: No, but wait, but let me ask you something like,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: mathematically it makes sense to fire.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: At that tournament and make sure you make it today too.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You can't ask me that. I'm not gonna I'm not
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna go for that because if you're taking seventeen percent
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out of a tournament, I don't think you overcome that. Now,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you want to have some fun, enjoy yourself, having some
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: great time coming into town flying. You want to play
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in a poker tournament and having them to take seventeen
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: eighteen you know percent.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: That's but if they're taking it out of a tournament regardless,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: no matter what tournament you're playing, doesn't this one make
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the most sense to play and make sure you get
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: to day two and try to get put yourself in
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to get some bounties and maybe you put a million
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and a half a million two Hudred and fifty k
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: K fifty k twenty five.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That's some fun. Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It's like if you're if you're coming here to play
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the World Series and you've got three grand to play
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: World Series events, isn't it worth shooting your whole load
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: on a mystery bounty tournament to make sure you play
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: and skipping the colossus for five hundred another massive field,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: But you don't have this bounty.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I believe it or not. The larger tournaments I have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: less rake in them. But I'm looking at it like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a knit. Probably I'm looking at it from a financial standpoint.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You just get it away from it. Yeah, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: so I still stand by it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Have something fun, tell them man, in a little bit
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of a bad mood, wait five well I did? It
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was three percent? Five point wow?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Bill, there's no more lines.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think if you go to a tournament Planet
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: or the Orleans, I don't think they're taking five percent
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: out for the stet did when when you won one
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of our buddies here in the room, he won a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: tournament for twelve thousand. You don't give your name out
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: because you have people that you own money. Were they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: lining up? No, it just happens everyone. John's got d
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: lines all the time. It is what it is. But
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: let me ask you something though, on a serious note,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: do do they ask you to tip? There?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They don't ask you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They don't ask you to tip. See this World Series.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I was there when I catched a senior event and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: John was eating popcorn outside. I was when I cashed
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that senior event. I cashed it and uh, yeah, you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: had the double buy ins. It costs a lot of
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: money that tournament. They asked me at the window, you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Do you want to tip?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: No, they ask you right before the window, when you're
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: when they're giving you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So Instead, what I did was I said, well, they
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: take it out. Do you guys know that? He said, oh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they just they don't know. They're just told to ask.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I said, who can I talk to about this? And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they pointed me to one of the suits and I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: told him said they're asking people, but they take it
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: out of the torment already. They should ask would you
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like to The wording should be would you like to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: tip anything additional onto it? That's the way it should
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be worried because instead of making him, and of course
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he got upset because he's probably getting a piece of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the shakedown, so of course he doesn't want to answer me,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: all right, Going over to DraftKings, So DraftKings has the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: prediction markets also, and the CFO Alan Ellingson is looking
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to calm investor Jitters after the company revealed that it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: push into prediction markets could shave three hundred million off
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty six Adiba. You know, it's what
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's called and and that's that's the projection. So this
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: was interesting that DraftKings. Of course they're smart enough to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: get into this, and they are getting into this in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: all the states that they can get into it, so
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that this is interesting. I find this very interesting that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: DraftKings they realized it right away some many other big companies,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but they're going to be in states like you know, California,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: because this is prediction market. It's not it's not sports
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: betting on the Draft Kings app. But there's been a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: lot of controversy this week. Do you know anything about this.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Matt Kalish, who was one of the original guys that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: started DraftKings, him and his partner, I think Jason was
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: his partner. I've never had any conversations with them. So
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: they he went after the Calshi prediction market brands and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: app and talked about how it doesn't have the customer
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: interactions and the different things that offered on Kings and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: maybe a different kind of bonuses, and it's just it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a more user friendly app draft Kings, and he just
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: explained how you don't get that with the Calshi's and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it may not be the best value like you think
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it may be, you know what I mean. So I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: invited him twice two different texts that I asked Matt
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Kylish because but but Matt Kaylish was being very very
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: he was being like he was mad. He was mad,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and maybe he has a right to be. I wanted
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to hear his side out. You'll see here. I actually said, yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: put the glass I saw last night Matt Kayleish. Hey, Matt,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I think your points are valid. We can talk about
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: can you come on? You know it could have been
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: in my shows, but I figured a new Vson. Can
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you come on? Vson got seven thousand of you? I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: just added to his thing there and yeah, he never responded.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Two days before that, I also asked him. Now, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: know he's seen it, you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of course, but but yeah, maybe the maybe he might
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: have thought, like like someone someone said, oh he will
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you know, he won't come on. I said, well, this
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is not I want to read my tweet. This was
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not a DK issue. I actually wanted him on to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: discuss his interesting points he had been making over the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: last few days. Surprised he wouldn't even give me a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: courtesy answer. So now he was he was like cursing
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: on there, people and stuff. I wasn't going to reveal
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: any of that stuff, you know, a big big deal.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Like we curse. I try not to curse in public,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but and and I never usually curse on shows, but
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: for some reason, I've been cursing a lot more with
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you like that with you, I usually don't do that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But the other shows I don't curse. Just you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you get me going. So, yeah, he didn't come on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to I wasn't going to debate him on anything. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to tell him that DraftKings limits to fifty dollars. No,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't going to do that. I wasn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: looking to embarrass him. I was not going to have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a mature conversation with you know, I wasn't going to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: say with his partner said publicly like the Caesars CEO,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: these guys college degrees, no common sense. I wasn't gonna
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: go after his partner for saying, yeah, we don't like
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: winners on a rap. I wasn't gonna do none of that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You know, that's what he said. Google Google this stuff.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: The guys from the Caesars saying, I told you're ready.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't have to feed them. They can
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: stop at McDonald's the home. This is your customer base
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: youre talking to.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It was Caesars.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott Reig, I think his name is Scott Reeg.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Is tom Reeg. Tom Reeg the President's the head of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Caesar No one's tire makes twenty million year. Yeah, tell them.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Gives an interview to loss Figures forview Journal about the
• 12:37

• 12:40
  Speaker 1: We're closing the loungers. Let them go, Let them stop
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on McDonald's the way home. What you could feel that way?
• 12:46

• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to win, right, you know, like like here outside these doors.

• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He's a street smart, knock around guys to some of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: these guys. But when you get those college guys, got
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: start the sights and they're the guys that always got
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: picked on, hung on at the locker by their underwear,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, picked the last for kickball.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Now they get a little bit of press and they
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: get to say something, but they don't have to say.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: They freeze.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: They know it's us against them. You don't have to
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: say that. Never never make it.

• 14:25
  Speaker 1: other night, comped mark dinner the other night, Peter Lugers.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: You notice how I brought someone around but he was
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: already paying.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But do you notice how I don't you let him
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: let it happen. You let him, let.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Him order, and he ordered. It was great.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Let him like that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Didn't you like that? Where he was like, you want your.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Steak for three. I don't get stay for three, steak
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for one because it's it's a better quality. So Peter
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Luger's steak for one is better than stak for two, three, four,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. But the steak was good, probably, But
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you let him. You let him cook the way he
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: wants it. You want to medium, you let him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: But I liked it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Your part of the deal too. We're talking about a deal.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And it cooks on the plate.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: The plate is so hot.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You take it and put it on the plate if
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: you want it more and well done. Yeah, I really like.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And let him pick the sides he wants.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Let him bacon.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Bacon's great.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It was great. Those potatoes were great. The potatoes are good,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: even the cream spinach I ate.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, they were good. And so John, you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: could we could say a little bit. So if this
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: guy has what he says he has and it's just there.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Act just opened up a couple few months ago.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, yeah, wow.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna take a piece of market share.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And that he's legal in forty states right now.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so forty six I think he said forty forty six.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, so, but he's legal. Just started up. We're going
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to talk about this down the road here.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Nice guy too, trying to get Nevada. Not in Nevada yet,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and it's just so hard to penetrate Nevada.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: He's pretty sharp too, Yeah, very you can just see
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: he could feel it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's why you just let him. You let him talk. Yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and but I did a lot of talking thought about
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the sports book.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a great time.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I forgot to do a group I'll do a group
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: text after our show right now. But he sent me things,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: it's great meeting you guys.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And yeah know he they have a site that they
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it's one stop shopping. It's still too hard for men
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to believe. I have to investigate a little bit. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to do it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Listen, he's saying, like, if you want the Knicks, which
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about next, the Knicks at the best line,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and you say, hey, hard Rock Florida has the Knicks
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: at five, yeah, and it's six here at west Gate,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: we'll give you the five.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And you can do it in a parlay. You
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: could do it in a parlor from you could four
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: different but.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It's not a parlay. It's not just a parlay. Yeah,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that's hard to believe too, So you could bet par
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to promote parlays here. But so if
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: if you have the hard Rock minus five on that,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you have the Westgate minus six on something else, you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: have Circa plus seven on another, you could take the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: best lines from each place and put them all on
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a parlor together.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: That's massive.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. It just it doesn't sound right to me.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But however, everything that this guy does, he's made a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: lot of money. So I just think that if they're
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: gonna have a site like that, it's one stop shopping.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't everyone be there getting the best of the line,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the best of the lines. But that goes back to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Matt Kalish's view what he was saying. He was saying like, well,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't offer all these different type of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: wagers and different type of things. So like people like
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the going to those sites. They are more player friendly
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: sites the big as on TV, like being where Lebron
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: is and all these other guys are. So but this
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: is one stop shopping and if this, if this takes this,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: this will be really good. I look forward to talking
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: about it a.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Little bit more. We're gonna get something done with him.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get something done with them. You think, so, okay, Well,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't think he was even looking looking
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: into into this wasn't about us getting a sponsorship or anything.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They weren't even doing that he really wanted to pick
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: my brain. He knew who I was, so he wanted
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to pick my brain a little bit. But but we
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: might anyway, we might do something with him. That'll that'll
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: be great and that'll be on you. Okay, next thing,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Prim's closing. Oh, the Prim casinos. However, they
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Prim Prim Nevada own the owners of those casinos, the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Prim family. They're actively searching buyers to save the town's
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: three aging border casinos from permanent closure. So I like
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to hear that at least Chase. Here's what I think.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: There's an airport supposedly coming here. John, you can look
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: at this map here. There's an airport supposedly coming here
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in the next ten years. If they build that supplemental
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Southern Nevada airport site, there's Prim. I think that I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: thought that would really help. So I think there's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: lot of value that.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Would be like Burbank Airport.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Burbanker John Wayne, something like that. Yeah, Yeah, I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: love that. This is very I think it's very interesting seeing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: That I don't know how these casinos have survived this
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: long beyond Yeah, but.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of shows, believe it or not.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: There yeah, they do have some good shows, like right, yeah, yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: some good shows. Maybe I can get you a stand
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: up routine there. Yeah. So the Nicks, the Knicks, the Knicks.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I watched the game. I was actually watched.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I was at some casino called Cadence Crossing last night.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It's a newer casino on Boulder Highway around there though
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it was not the best area, but inside what a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: beautiful casino, really nice, brand new. So I had to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: meet someone there last night and I had dinner with them,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and I was looked up at the game. They were
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: up at eighteen when I was walking out of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: dinner with you know, I don't know, ten minutes left
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: or something. Now I'm finding out they were up by
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: twenty two. Cleveland, this is Cleveland was up by twenty
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: two with seven minutes and forty seconds. I think it's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: set here. Wow, that's got to be one of the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: biggest comebacks of all times.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: It's pretty exciting to watch our.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Buddy here had Nicks minus five and a half and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: it was ninety nine percent. Sure that the little percentages
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: they show you ninety nine percent that they win, that's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: all it goes. Those meters only go to ninety nine percent,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so it's actually probably more if the real number was
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: probably ninety nine point eight, right, you know, nine nine
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: point nine sure like a one in five hundred and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: eighty five chance. Yeah, so amazing, amazing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's fun to watch. Amazing comeback basketball game.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I liked it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Now in game two, the lines around six around the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: same line. Basketball is funny. Basketball is funny. Don't think
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that Cleveland won't play their heart out here and steal
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a game in New York like they should have. Yesterday.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: They just rested on their laurels. Like I didn't watch
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the game, so they must have rested on their laws.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: The garden must have been going crazy, though, crazy must
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: have been going absolutely crazy. And I'm surprised they didn't watch.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I had a really important meeting I had to go
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to when you know, like John has these meetings, but
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: minor reel. We're on the road to no where. Okay,

  Speaker 1: think I had to give I had to give him
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a hundred though, and there was something, there was some
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: kind of deal out of him. Yeah, he's not going

  Speaker 1: in So John, you don't even know Randy McKay and I.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I saw the text threat we're buying Oh oh you

  Speaker 2: did from last night.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: We were buying that. That was last week. So let's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: let's just let's just this.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Is that what you were going to talk about.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we were actually over on wager Wire. We
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: were actually going to buy one of the UH people
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: at one of their parlays. This guy was cashing out
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: with I think it was hard Rock Florida, so he
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: was he was gonna care there it is okay, So
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: there's the bet. It was Indiana Hoosiers n c A
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: A F Championship winner, Seattle seahffs to beat New England,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverine NCAA Division champ. They all won Stanley Cup
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: as the last thing. Colorado Avalanche is his last leg.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: He bet two hundred dollars to one, one hundred and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: fifty three thousand. He's going to cash out at fifty
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: seven thousand and change, and we offered him sixty thousand
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to fly to Vegas. We were gonna fly in the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Vegas do it on camera for wager Wire, and we
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: were gonna wader Wire was kicking in another two thousand,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and you know what, we're gonna give you extra two
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: thousand to flight sixty two thousand instead of fifty seven
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: change airfare, hotel, dinner. I was giving him everything he
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: was to make it a fun thing. Yeah, he cashed
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: out at the site.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Why did he not believe it?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: No, No, he had to believe it. You know, people
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: are weird, man, people are weird. They they didn't want
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to maybe he didn't. We were gonna do it with
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: cash and make the site look good, like you know
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it make it look fun for the guy. But I
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: said we'd give him a bank wire if not, you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like there was other options. Like he's weird. I didn't
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: speak to him. No, they spill. I said everything was
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: negotiated with a wager wire. But yeah, he didn't. Uh,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: he didn't go. I don't understand.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Why would you take the buy not believed it for
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: some reason?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: No, I just think he just wanted the money from
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that rock on his app. And you know, I hope
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: he cashes out the money and doesn't start blowing it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: He only bet the two hundred dollars or so, but yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: we we offered him more than the buyouts so weird.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, there there could have been a way
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to hedge out. Why you could hedge out with Colorado, But.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: That's not a lot more money.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: We weren't going to do that. I would help him.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: We would have helped them at out. You know, you
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: can't when you hedge. You know, these guys are torning
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: all better. Maybe he doesn't have like twenty thousand, twenty
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to bet somewhere. Yeah, too, we would
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: have helped him with I wouldn't have charged him anything,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: would have just helped him just that fun with it,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, he chose not to do it,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: So that kind of shocked me. I thought that was
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a definite done deal. I thought he was definitely coming here.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I was fining time him here to put him in
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a hotel. Yeah, like, no, I put it up. Why
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: would you put it up on the wager wire app.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: They've worked with him before too. If you're not going
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to take you know, five thousand dollars more, then the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: site's going he's gonna get five five thousand.

  Speaker 1: No, what do you mean?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: No?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: No, no, we've no way. No, we actually had to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: have to trust him a little bit, believe it or not.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: You know, the trust factor was only one way he
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: was getting He was getting the cash from us or
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the money from us. But so let's go to this week. Still,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: this was a thousand dollars. People have thousand dollars about
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: on on these parlays. Is amazing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Thousand dollars one though, you know, I got an opinion
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: on this.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: To win two hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: The current bet value was sixteen thousand and eight to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: seventy nine. No cash out offer from this casino. Three
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Lake parlay the seventy six years versus Boston series betting
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the futures. He he won that one. So he got
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that one. That was that. That was the longest shot
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: here at seven and a half to one. Also Colorado
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to win the Stanley Cup and then the New York
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Yankees to win the World Series. The Yankees are actually
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: playing better now, yeah they are.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: That's still got some issues. Old one's got some issues.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, So but he bets a thousand to win sixteen
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: eighty seventy nine. Yeah, if you bet, if you were
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: bet one hundred or maybe two hundred, I'd say no,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I'd say cash, take a little money back, or get
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a partner or something. This one, I would say, no, wait,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: let's see Stanley Cup. Let's see what happens with Colorado.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Colorado's the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Why would
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you take that chance now? And this would be worth
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a lot more money after that, So.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Definitely get your money out before the World Series for
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: baseball because the Yankees it's not gonna happen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not gonna happen. So the yank is gonna
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, okay, so that's when
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you would closer to that than But if the Avalanche
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: go on to win the Cup, this ticket's gonna be
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: worth about forty thousand dollars tone then you may want
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to think about maybe cashing here forty extra thousand dollars. Bet.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I would say definitely. Hold you see what Matt said,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: what about mister baseball Orlando. Yeah, so anyway, wagerwire dot Com,

• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of the guy. He has to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: have his own reasons. Maybe he needed the money instantly.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't if you're if you're a gambler.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I don't see that happening.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: But maybe he's like, maybe he's afraid to fly.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's afraid to fly.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: How old is he? Do we know? Do we know anything?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: We don't know anything.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Don't know anything about them at all, don't know anything
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: about them.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's the Is he twenty one?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That's scary, that's happening. Is that possible, that's happening.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Happens in nineteen He's like, yeah, get this on the apps.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I can't be public.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City casinos again. I'd say this every month. This
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: is just the sickest numbers. I can't. They jumped twelve
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: percent April over April again. They set a record last year.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: These places, they're the gaming win is what's going on
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in Atlantic City?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: And when you walk around Atlantic City and look, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: was just there people there, Yeah, I was just there.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like no one even has any money.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: How does this a I don't know. This is the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this is the brick and mortar casinos. This isn't the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: people that are placed eye gaming brick and mortar again. Now,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you that the Atlantic City faces
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: some worrying future. Here there's casinos, full scale casinos coming
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to New York. Ones already there. I think it's called
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Resorts World. They're already there. But there's multi billion dollar
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: projects coming. Uh near JFK. There's a hard rock Metropolitan Park,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: which is that's going to be a city field the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Mets play, and is a Bally's Bronx at Ferry Point.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: So they're coming. By the way, no smoking in those casinos.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: No smoking casinos. I think those smoking works. I think, yeah,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. There's an article on that right here.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Look New Jersey Gambler's MICROI hold on, this is this
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is the next one. Here's the next one. They extinguished
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Laning City smoking that did. The fight to extinguish smoking
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: drags on, and advocacy groups and lawmakers are intensifying their
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: years long can campaign to permanently outlaw smoking in Atlantic
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: City casino floors. So casino operas firing back, warning a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: total smoking ban will trigger a massive dropping gaming revenue.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think it would, because they don't have an
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: option to go smoke over there. Try smoking.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: They didn't they try this before, non smoking.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I think they could have had certainine we have. We
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: have park MGM, no smoking, can't move. Place is packed. Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So anyway, this is happening in Atlantic City, and uh,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the New York is. Like I said, the New York
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: casinos are smoke free, so I don't think that would
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: be a big ask because they have been not like this.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not coming to no more. I'll be in New
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: York and they're going to be able to smoke there too.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm going back to Atlantic City and the Eye gaming.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: The Iye gaming is still out outpacing retail. It's unbelievable.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: It's online revenue, like I said, it's yeah. Online revenue
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: also increased. Uh, it marked its eight consecutive month where
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I Gaming eclipse in person casino revenue. That's unbelievable. April
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: was actually the third best record, the best month on record.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: People are just gambling at home, man, and it's just crazy.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Year to date, almost a billion dollars has been won
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: by the casinos by people gambling on their phones, just
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: just scambling on their apps, playing slots and blackjack and everything.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. I gaming has eclipsed to ten digit
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: market through only four months. Oddsmakers also in the sportsbook
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in April sports books one hundred and two million that
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: they made a thirteen percent increase year over year. So
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: it's actually hard to because most of the most of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the sports betting there is done over the app. So
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: just just a giant number. Sports betting through April three
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four percent higher And this time last year.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: People have a lot of money. I don't care who
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: says what things are. This is happening. This is oh,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: people have a lot of money.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Speaking Gamble just reminded me when we were at dinner
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: the other night, how crowded was Caesar's Palace.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Couldn't move, couldn't moved and this this wasn't They were
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: saying about that. What's the what's the festival?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Festival was over Sunday.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable, unbelievable town grand I always say September and May
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: best two months to come to Vegas, but weatherwise otherwise
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: good months to come out to the polls. You could
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: not move to Caesar's Palace. Everywhere, everywhere you look, there
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: had to be something else going on there. I was,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I asked, and I said, not really.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Vegas is dead.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Vegas is dead. So I get to give you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Jersey credit. They're they're online gamblers might might might start
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: receiving a monthly statements regarding their play. So this is
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a new bill that the that the I like that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I got to give the gaming
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: boards and the politicians there a little credit for not
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you know, looking past just the money and their money
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: they're making. Uh. You imagine a bill in New Jersey
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: will require online gaming platforms to issue a monthly statement
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to all the customers. You get an email saying this
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: is how much of an idiot you've been. Basically, you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this is how much money you've lost. This New Jersey
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: is the home to the you know, one of the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: richest eye gaming platforms. Like we just talked about highest
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: concentration of problem gambler stuff. New Jersey has number one,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: new number one for problems.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Change it to Hoe broken.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hope, that's very good.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Broken.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: There's a thing there, Hoboken with a photo and yeah,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Hoebroken's right, very good, John, Did you just made that up? Yeah, yeah,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes I just hope this happens here. And this is
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a Senator McKean. Senator John McKean, thank you very much
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: for even introducing this and making the public aware of this.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And I hope you get it passed. I hope you
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: get past the red tape. This. This would be great
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: if they can tell people what they're doing every month,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: just to show them, you know, just show them what
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: they're doing every month when you're gambling on these type
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: of things. So see what happens, all right, These people
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that work in stores and try to cheat the stores
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of them playing lottery tickets scratch offs. They said, well
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: one of them has got to be a big winner
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to cover the rest of them. Like there has been
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: three people. This article is about two, but this has
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: been three that I know of that have scratched all
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the lottery tickets. One guy, the reason why he got
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: in trouble was someone came in to buy a ticket
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and he's seen like confetti everywhere. It was a scratch
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: off things, and he scratched all the tickets and he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: couldn't even buy a ticket himself. It was gone. But
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: yet the employee was doing it, and he ratted them out.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. And yeah, that is where I read. The
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: guy said, just one of these has got to be
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a big winner. I'll cover all these. I'll make a
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: lot of money on my shift. And that's happening here.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Two convenience store workers are accused of stealing lottery scratch offs.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: The female defendants are facing felony theft chargers such a
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: convintion a conviction actually possible, five year imprison fifty thousand
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: dollars fine. So this is a state run scratch offs.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: You know, you're taking the state's money here. You're trying
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to dupe the system. You know, you see people all
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the time. This happens to in casino jobs, believe it
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: or not. Uh, sports books, race books. You get a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: little bit of a dj behind their working and they're
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: betting out of a draw. It's called betting out of
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: their bank betting. They're betting, trying to get even bet
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this racet, this race. It's it's I mean, you can
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: never have that job. I'm just I'm just saying that
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: not your fault. It's it's it's you know, you could
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: never have that no, no, no, and you wouldn't last
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: in jail. Forget, you'd be giving up Pafa where he's buried, Kennedy, assassination, Limburg, baby, everything, everything,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you would just everything you give up. So anyway, yeah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: this this is uh interesting that I know about this
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: in the past, so really that's why I find that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty interesting.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I wonder how many times have they actually hit though.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Fifty. It's such a bad you can get lucky, yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of course, but yeah, now this is gone blue By
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: said this in the beginning. I can't believe. Yeah, this
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: is the DraftKings closing their retail oplication. I'm sorry that
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: their their retail, their retail market in Wrigley Field, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: is not possible. It's unbelievable because I've been there. It's like, wow,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: this is this is really cool. You can off the street,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: you can pull over and make some bets watching the game,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: you can go into the go into the retail, make
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: some bets. I cannot believe. Here's how it's possible. Chicago
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: is so greedy that they are starting so many different
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: supplemental taxes and oh they can't survive of the revenue.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Now now they have a new ten percent tax. January
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Chicago roll out ten point two five percent tax on
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: sports betting revenue generated from betters located within the semi
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: city limits. So now they have to pay another ten percent.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: How about this a twenty five cents per ticket? Another shakedown?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Al Capone wasn't shaking down Chicago.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Twenty five sense per ticket must add up to insane them.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's a per bet fee. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Tax
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: doubles to fifty cent per ticket after the book exceeds
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: twenty million bets. Like, there's so many fees, but that
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: goes to show you what's going on here with retail operate.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: These states are making so much money, Like New York
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's fifty one percent tax. It's the highest
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: in the in the world.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: And it really is.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But but it's the sports betting capital of the United States.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: They're they're they're betting four to five times more than
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: their betting here, so they overcome that and New York
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: State's making a fortune. So but they overcome that with
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: all that volume. So they just thought that was kind
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: of interesting. Casinos on Netflix. I know it's an old
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: movie that we've seen many times, but it's fun watching
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: my saw.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: On the little thumbnail leaving soon I was like, yeah.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Casino, But I got to wa I watched it again,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: did you Yeah? I watched it again. So good. Scorsese
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: is returning with a series Cold of Roman. You know
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: You you mentioned that. I don't know if it had
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: a name yet.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Scorsese serving as the executive producer. It's starring Oscar Isaac,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Betty Gilben, Alec Baldwin, David Constable from Billions and Breaking Bad.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Eight episode series High Stakes World of Gambling. I hope
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: they have someone that they used as consultants. Usually Scorsese
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: is great at that. He hires gangsters, He hires people
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: that that, and especially the creators and showrunners is Brian
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Koppleman and David Levine from Billions, from Rounders of course,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: they had that great film and and you know, I'll
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: say it's out there and already, Brian used to play
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: in poker games in the city you played, you know,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Park Avenue and the club's there that they had. Brian Kampleman,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he knows this stuff because he was involved. He's a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: poker player. So I hope this goes. I hope this
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: goes really good. When it comes to the hour long drama,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: each the first one the high stakes set sharp elbowed
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: president a Las Vegas casino business, which is modernized but
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: still dangerous version of the legendary sitting at the center
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: it all stands Robert Bobby red Redmond Already. I don't
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: like nicknames like that this guy's, but he's the president
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: of the hottest hotel in the town who has to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: make some long odds to try and secure his position
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and take more ground. I just hope they use consultants
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: for even a guy that like if they would use someone,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: you know, like Bobby Baldwin or someone that has been
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: in the position that's also a gambler, I think they would.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: They would. It would be pretty cool. We'll close with this.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. In Pittsburgh, a social club
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: that was open. They they actually raided it and seize
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: ninety one thousand dollars. This is a game that they
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: have just like the super Bowl pools, though the super
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Bowl box pools every bar it's dot Allens. So this
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: particular board is you pick one of the cards and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to send the picture of this to JH.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: You pick one of the cards and for so much money,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much money it is, but I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: think it's maybe five hundred dollars to pick a card
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: or one hundred dollars to pick a card. And behind
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: one of the cards is the Queen up Hearts is
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: the Queen of Hearts board. If you pick the Queen
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of Hearts, you win, you win the entire you know,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the entire board of money. And there's fifty four cards
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: in here, so there must be a couple jokers involved.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: But they it's a private club. Members pay an annually
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: do of forty dollars. But in Pennsylvania it's it's illegal
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to charge a typical and then usually charge of misdemeanor
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: pun us well up to five years in prison, though
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: it's first degree in misdemeanor. Finds it the ten thousand
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: for large dell operations like this, but it probably won't
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: apply in this particular case. But you know what it
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: is that this is operating, you know, twenty or thirty
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: miles from gambling places. That's the reason why they kind
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: of get a little bit weird about it, and they
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you know, they just want to make examples out of people.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: But I thought this is kind of interesting because of
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: all the people they can they can bust all the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: bars that don't have, you know, an entry fee or
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: a members only and they busted this place in Pittsburgh.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's a big gambling town. Some of the biggest book
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: makers come from western Pennsylvania in general, some of the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: street bookmakers everywhere. And this this happened actually in the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: town in Washington, Pennsylvania. They have some gambling guys in
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: that town for sure, roughly twenty miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: The town is just minutes from the Meadows. I think
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: it's the Meadows. It says the Metal Lands here. I
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: think it's the Meadows Racetrack that's there. Hollywood Casino at
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the Meadows it says Metal Lands. But anyway, Yeah, they
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: went through their facebooks, they went through their the big
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: sting they went through. They must be promoting and advertising
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, which you know, I guess you probably shouldn't
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: throw it in the government's face. But anyway, it's pretty
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: interesting that this happened again. And well, guys, we'll have
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of these clips. I'll have Jage put on
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: up on Wisecracks, and we'll talk to you next week.
