Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: H all systems going clear.
- 0:10Speaker 2: We lived on what is going on? Everyone?
- 0:42Speaker 3: This is sheets and I'm gonna be going over the
- 0:44Speaker 3: carnage that happened in week one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve, thirteen,
- 0:50Speaker 3: fourteen of the Survivor Pool journey and it was rough
- 0:55Speaker 3: out there. We uh, we talk about this for the
- 0:59Speaker 3: entire season, and as you get down to the end,
- 1:04Speaker 3: each elimination is worth just a ton, and each ownership
- 1:09Speaker 3: fade is worth just a ton. And you set yourself
- 1:13Speaker 3: up to be able to put yourself put these puzzle
- 1:15Speaker 3: pieces into the puzzle and then you just have to
- 1:19Speaker 3: drop them and and you know, see if the NFL
- 1:23Speaker 3: gods can shine favorably upon you once you put yourself
- 1:26Speaker 3: in a position to win. So it was a very
- 1:30Speaker 3: very interesting week, to say the least. And we're gonna'm
- 1:35Speaker 3: gonna go over just a couple of the pools. First
- 1:37Speaker 3: of all, in the discord, I heard some actually some
- 1:41Speaker 3: pretty good news, like a couple of people won their
- 1:43Speaker 3: pools this week outright, and then a couple of people lost,
- 1:48Speaker 3: but because everybody else in their pool busted, they ended
- 1:51Speaker 3: up chopping, so that's money back as well.
- 1:55Speaker 2: It was a very very difficult week, and we went
- 1:58Speaker 2: over this in the discord, or well, we.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Went over this in the premium show last week, that
- 2:05Speaker 3: if you had single picks, you had a very very
- 2:09Speaker 3: interesting decision to make between Tampa and fading Tampa. And
- 2:13Speaker 3: we knew that Tampa was going to be extraordinarily high
- 2:16Speaker 3: owned and if you could find something in your in
- 2:21Speaker 3: your availability to make it work, then it might be
- 2:25Speaker 3: worth taking a shot to do that. And unfortunately the
- 2:29Speaker 3: main pivot that being Cleveland, they lost as well.
- 2:35Speaker 2: So that was very very very unfortunate.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Uh, the the the teams that you really needed to
- 2:42Speaker 3: take shots with if you had them available, that's a
- 2:44Speaker 3: tough parlay was was Buffalo and Minnesota. And I'm still
- 2:52Speaker 3: looking out there to see if any of people in
- 2:55Speaker 3: my discord here were able to get through with those because.
- 2:59Speaker 2: It was very very tough. You know, it was very.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Tough if you had both Tampa and Cleveland available to
- 3:04Speaker 3: fade them both. But you know what, the people that
- 3:08Speaker 3: had the the the stones to do that, they ended
- 3:12Speaker 3: up they ended up knocking out like the entire civilized world.
- 3:16Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, there was one.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Entry where is this I'm gonna show you literally my
- 3:25Speaker 3: favorite entry on the entire the entire splash community, and
- 3:31Speaker 3: you know this person is is I would say better
- 3:34Speaker 3: than me that this person is definitely has a lot more.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Wherewithal wherewith all I don't know. Well, we'll get to
- 3:40Speaker 2: that entry in a minute. But it was tough.
- 3:42Speaker 3: You know, we went through Wurhan's entries, we went through
- 3:45Speaker 3: through through hoops and again I just gave them options.
- 3:48Speaker 3: You know, if you wanted to be ultra aggressive, you
- 3:51Speaker 3: do something like Buffalo and Minnesota.
- 3:54Speaker 2: But the reality is is that.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Some variation of Tampa in Cleveland were very likely to
- 3:59Speaker 3: appear in the lineups that I believe they ended up
- 4:01Speaker 3: doing that. So in addition to that, we had Title
- 4:04Speaker 3: who was deep in the on the one keg and he.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And he went with the Bucks as well, and they lost. Uh.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And the onlyother option for him to have played was
- 4:17Speaker 3: probably Cleveland and they would have lost. So it was
- 4:20Speaker 3: it was a tough Uh, it was tough out there.
- 4:23Speaker 3: But you know, for those that were still in somehow,
- 4:26Speaker 3: that's great. For those who chop, that's you know, obviously
- 4:29Speaker 3: great for you and hopefully everybody's learned something and you
- 4:32Speaker 3: can see, you know, how much money there is floating
- 4:35Speaker 3: around to these things. I'm really looking forward to, you know,
- 4:38Speaker 3: continuing on for this for the next couple of years
- 4:40Speaker 3: of you guys, because you guys have learned quite a
- 4:43Speaker 3: bit this year and we're you know again, it's it's tough.
- 4:46Speaker 3: It's tough to get all the way through, but you know,
- 4:48Speaker 3: you make the decisions and that's really all you can
- 4:50Speaker 3: do about it. Now, there are other pools that are
- 4:53Speaker 3: continuing to fly here. There are pools that are going
- 4:56Speaker 3: straight through the playoffs, which I am going to be
- 4:59Speaker 3: participating in. So I mean, I consider just you know,
- 5:02Speaker 3: like it's not doing any more of the videos, but
- 5:04Speaker 3: let's screw that. As long as I'm gonna keep playing,
- 5:07Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep posting stuff. So for no other reason
- 5:10Speaker 3: for my own benefit to talk talk my way through
- 5:13Speaker 3: these things. The next, by the way, the next thing
- 5:17Speaker 3: to look forward to as far as a huge pool
- 5:21Speaker 3: if you're not still in the survivor stuff, is the
- 5:24Speaker 3: NCAA March Madness Survivor pool. And that is, trust me,
- 5:28Speaker 3: that is going to challenge your brain like like nothing else.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Okay, and we'll get to that when we get to that.
- 5:35Speaker 2: But just to kind of show you a couple of
- 5:37Speaker 2: things that happened. So this is a ship and nation tournament, and.
- 5:39Speaker 3: This went from like I don't remember how many were in it,
- 5:42Speaker 3: like but two weeks ago there's like a thousand, and
- 5:44Speaker 3: it got down to seven. And you see, like these
- 5:47Speaker 3: were these were the things people had to do. Like
- 5:49Speaker 3: all of these players had Tampa available and faded them,
- 5:54Speaker 3: you know, and they also all faded Cleveland.
- 5:57Speaker 2: So that's what you needed to do. Uh, God blessed them,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and God blessed b.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Grestith, who is obviously he's a superstar DFS player, got
- 6:05Speaker 3: three of the seven entries left.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So if anybody's gonna win, let it be a DFS guy.
- 6:09Speaker 3: I guess. All right, Now let's look at some of
- 6:13Speaker 3: these others. Let's let's let's look at the high Roller.
- 6:17Speaker 3: This is the one that that title was in. This
- 6:20Speaker 3: went from fifty one all the way down to thirteen.
- 6:23Speaker 3: And again these are the types of plays. Buffalo Denver.
- 6:27Speaker 3: He somehow still had Denver available. You played them. This
- 6:31Speaker 3: was kind of a nice play to play. Miami is
- 6:33Speaker 3: only a two point favorite. Pretty pretty ballsy, I have
- 6:37Speaker 3: to say. And there's Caveman, who I know Caveman is
- 6:40Speaker 3: also a DFS guy, so he got through with the Rams. Yeah,
- 6:47Speaker 3: and that's down to thirteen paying a million dollars for first.
- 6:51Speaker 3: We'll get to the big splash in a minute.
- 6:53Speaker 2: This was this was my pool.
- 6:55Speaker 3: This was a little demoralizing, so I knew this was
- 6:57Speaker 3: going to happen, but I did it anyway.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Check this out. Like everybody except for one person. There
- 7:05Speaker 2: was only ten left played Tampa. I remember.
- 7:09Speaker 3: My my logic was that all my leverage was going
- 7:13Speaker 3: to be in week seventeen, so with the Patriots, so
- 7:16Speaker 3: I really should have aired on the side of safety
- 7:19Speaker 3: to make it two week seventeen. So I went with Tampa,
- 7:21Speaker 3: and I had a feeling this was gonna happen. And
- 7:25Speaker 3: Mark Rigorici, for those of you who know it me,
- 7:27Speaker 3: he's very sharp. He actually ran this pool, which is
- 7:32Speaker 3: another story, but all the Tampa is lost and he
- 7:36Speaker 3: got there with Green Bay at the very end, so
- 7:38Speaker 3: good on him. He actually won the pool out right.
- 7:41Speaker 3: And then I don't even want to talk about circa
- 7:43Speaker 3: circa circus down to ten people paying eighteen million for first.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Maybe next year will pay a little bit more attention
- 7:50Speaker 3: to that one. But the splash is really where all
- 7:53Speaker 3: the to me, this is where all the big equity is.
- 7:56Speaker 3: So this is the big splash and this is down
- 7:58Speaker 3: to twenty four. I mean I have to give some
- 8:02Speaker 3: give some applause here where is this entry that I
- 8:07Speaker 3: that I talked Plastic Dub. We have to we have
- 8:12Speaker 3: to give him the the.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Well, there are two bits of applause. We have to. First,
- 8:19Speaker 2: we have to give some.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Applause to aj Porasim he's got four of the twenty
- 8:24Speaker 3: four left. But Plastic Dub really gets like the round
- 8:29Speaker 3: of applause of the season. Look at who he went
- 8:32Speaker 3: and picked last week in doubles. He played the Saints
- 8:38Speaker 3: and Tennessee. He took, he took leverage to like the
- 8:41Speaker 3: ultimate extreme. He took the two highest owned teams, that
- 8:46Speaker 3: being Tampa and and Cleveland, and she's completely went against them.
- 8:53Speaker 3: He played a team that had a twenty percent winning
- 8:55Speaker 3: chance and a team that had like a thirty percent
- 8:57Speaker 3: winning chance, and he needed them both to win.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So he had a.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Six percent chance of advancing and he did it and
- 9:04Speaker 3: he got there. So much applause to you for trying
- 9:10Speaker 3: that and having it work. I guess. So he's obviously
- 9:15Speaker 3: the person I'm rooting for, and this is what ends
- 9:18Speaker 3: up happening to the Minnesota Buffalo. I thought was actually
- 9:20Speaker 3: pretty sharp as I discussed. Good for him to have
- 9:23Speaker 3: played that. I don't know if I would have played
- 9:26Speaker 3: the Rams with them available in seventeen, So that's interesting. Ooh,
- 9:29Speaker 3: look at this guy getting through with the Chargers of
- 9:32Speaker 3: overtime last night with the interception. Gotta love that. Here's
- 9:36Speaker 3: another Tennessee. The same dude he played Miami in Tennessee
- 9:40Speaker 3: really just got after it. And this is what I
- 9:43Speaker 3: guess you needed to do. There's another Tennessee in Miami
- 9:46Speaker 3: in Tennessee. So actually, look at six six of the
- 9:50Speaker 3: twenty four entries that are advancing took Stone Cold leverage. Now,
- 9:56Speaker 3: this guy actually couldn't have taken Cleveland because he taken
- 10:00Speaker 3: them before, but all these others could have and they
- 10:03Speaker 3: took Tennessee anyway, so all I can say.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Good for them. So tomorrow I am gonna do another show.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm going to do the There's a pool
- 10:17Speaker 4: that I want to track that starts this week that
- 10:20Speaker 4: is doubles throughout the rest of the season and then
- 10:23Speaker 4: leading into the playoffs.
- 10:24Speaker 3: And I think it's very interesting. So I am going
- 10:26Speaker 3: to go through that and I'll continue to track these
- 10:29Speaker 3: big tournaments as they kind of play out.
- 10:32Speaker 2: That is going to do it.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I will see you guys tomorrow, and again for those
- 10:35Speaker 3: of you who not signed up yet, telling you there's
- 10:37Speaker 3: a lot to learn from this stuff. And when we
- 10:39Speaker 3: get to NCAA March Madness, you are really gonna get it.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Want to get in there. That's gonna do it. Good
- 10:44Speaker 3: luck everybody.
