• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but last year, I guess. I guess we gave out
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the winter. Well I should say that a guest that's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: been on our show many times gave out the winner.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And you know so. Let me just tell you though,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Paul Mattice and his brother some of the only winning
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: horse race guys I've ever met in my life. It's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: only been two or three that I have met that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I beat the horse races and legitimately not you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: doping horses or something something like that. These guys are
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the Mattis brothers are very very sharp guys. Both follow
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: me on Twitter. They're great. They're both great follows on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Twitter also Paul Matisa and his brother Duke. So with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the caws in these computer automated what's going on now
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: with the horse racing community? Even Duke put a comment
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: on one of my tweets about the c aws and said,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I can't beat it right now? What's going on? I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: haven't bet a horse in a year, so literally, But
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: last year Paul gave us the winner of the Kentucky Derby.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: As everyone asking me what they did and who they
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like in the Derby, and there's something I can go
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the guys in the room here who won the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Derby last year, guys Sovereignty. Okay, so Sovereignty won the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Derby last year, and Paul gave us that I had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: no idea. I paid eighteen dollars I forgot.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah I remember eighteen to one. Yeah, yeah, it was
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a good one.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Let me read you Paul's text first, because people want
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to know about that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I can't do anyth Okay, okay, okay, my brother and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I okay, hold on, here's what you could say partially
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: or holy, let's say it. Holy. There is a whole
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: lot of holes. There's a whole lot of holes. Meet Okay, yeah, okay,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of holes in the American horses
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: this year. Ten to twelve of them aren't fast enough
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to win, and like I said, the five or six
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: favorites all have negatives about them. Renegade is the best
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: American horse, but he drew the number one post, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: his trainer and jockey are great, but they both have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: terrible records in the Derby. He will probably go off
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: higher odds than he should because of his post. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: there's too many questions. Everybody says it's not if, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: when Japan is going to win a Derby, but they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: never picked them. Both horses this year are solid, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: since the American horses aren't great this year, now might
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be a good time. Both of these horses are great prices. Boy,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: these are long shots. Wow. Number seven Dan and Bourbon
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: twenty to one money line and number ten Wonder Dean
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: thirty to one money line. The seven is a little
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bit more, okay, The seven's a little stronger or nothing,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: but he's undefeated and he's the best bet to win.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So the seven and the ten, maybe you throw a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: little something on each one of them. Maybe you throw
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: them in your exotics and your but you know, there's
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a real long shots here. So but nice enough for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Paul to tell us that we've had poll on the show.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think a couple of.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Times, right, John So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:43

• 3:45

• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a it's a no brainer. The thirteen horse, twenty to one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Potent potent because the cat is potent, our potent potent.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, there you go.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Now are you getting ready for I don't even notice
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: we didn't talk about this before the time. As you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: can tell, Johnny, you're getting ready for any World series

  Speaker 2: an event.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: So I played last year in the Mystery Millions, right,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: this year they've they still have the Mystery Millions, but

  Speaker 2: Dollars buy in. And uh, I'm.

  Speaker 4: Assuming the the bounties won't be a million. That maybe
• 5:52

• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Most people say, I'm gonna win a bracelet this summer.
• 6:30

  Speaker 1: I'm sure people will give you some long odds on that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I'm talking like, what are the odds, Bill, if you
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: had to, if you had to put a number to it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: what are the odds? Uh?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Did you see them? With casino Robertson Niro when he's yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the guy hits three slot machines, ten thousand jackpotch. You
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: had to see yourself getting set up on the first
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one the odds and two or three it's a billion
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to one. It cannot happen. Would that happen? You're two bracelets?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Is longer than that?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I love it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: No, it's in the billions. It's in the tens of billions.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: If if I had to really put it on there,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's a giant number. But let me ask this, give
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: me a number. But let me ask you this.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Could you take how would you go about identifying like
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the pros, like the big names, the the matdis Ow's,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the miss Rockies, the Madsons, the Alex Boxin's Negrano? How
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: how would you assign what their odds are like to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: win the main How did you come up with a
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: real formula to figure that out?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: When when Michael Miss Rocky, who we would we will
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: have on this show eventually, By the way, when he
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: won last year, that was just so amazing because there
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: were so many people that said a famous player, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they had bulks of them, and there was a betting
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: markets Pinnacle Offshore originally had odds on all the World
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Series players and they put bulks of players like fifty
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: names will never win a main event. Again, you could
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have bet that years ago. They don't have the market anymore,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and I'll think, and his name was in there, so
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you would get real Yes, well, a big name player.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It's amazing what he did last year, absolutely amazing, amazing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He has won that fifty tournament multiple times. He is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest players in the world. There is
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for sure. I know there's a lot of luck, but
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: poker tournaments are a different animal for certain people. Like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: who we've had on this show, Phil Helmuth, We've had on,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Daniel mgrano, We've had on Michael oh No, We've had
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: on who else, we had someone else on Madison, we
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: had Madison on, Yeah, Mario Sam Sam, We've had a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: lot of we have poker pros on so some of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: these guys. I'll use Phil Helmet though one of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: best in the world. There is more to it than
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just luck when it comes to poker tournaments for a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: lot of players, and these guys are proven it. Michael
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Mizeraki is definitely has proven this in the past. But
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: John I have a couple of subjects to go into here.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: One is right there in Atlantic City. There's an article
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: out and Ocean Casino Resort is sued for millions over
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: dealer tip pulling practices. Wow, I'm only going by this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: article and it's even hard to believe what I'm reading here.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: So Atlantic City's Ocean Resort is accused in a new
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: lawsuit of structuring its tip pulling system to shift labor
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: cost onto dealer. It's in violation of federal and New
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Jersey laws. It's just so hard for me to believe
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that this is even a real lawsuit, but it is.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm reading from an article which we'll post what we'll
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: even post a wink here. I'll tell you where it
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: comes from. It comes from casino dot org Philip Connor
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Co and then E. L. E. R. Has written the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: article and the dealer is Lydia Coolan, a table games dealer,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: claims in the proposed class action lawsuit, the casino requires
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: dealers to participate in a mandatory mandatory tip pool by
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: paying at least some of them below the state's full
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: minimum wage through a tip credit. Now, I did not
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: know that the minimum wage in New Jersey was fifteen
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: ninety two an hour. I didn't know that. So minimum
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: wage here in the state is fifteen dollars and ninety
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: two cents per hour. However, in a tip worker position,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they must pay six oh five per hour six dollars
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and five cents per hour in direct wages, with tips
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: making up the difference. So what what she is saying
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is the casino for every hour. Here's how it works.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Here's how it works in the casino business. And maybe
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: someone could correct me if their place of their jurisdiction
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: is different. So you work every sixty minutes, you get
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: tapped out for a twenty minute break, every sixty you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: get a twenty minute break, and you work an eight
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: hour shift, of which every twenty minutes you're every sixty
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: minut you're getting a twenty minute break. That doesn't matter
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: though you're still getting tips hourly rate, so even for
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the time you're on break, you still got part of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the tip pool. Of course, Well, what she is saying
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that Ocean Casino was doing is not tipping, not using
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the tip money when they're on break, and they're taking
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the tip money and putting into the casino. It's even
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: hard for me to believe that what I'm reading here,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I almost don't want to read it, but I'm going
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to read this. She is saying that she is seeking
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to recover unpaid minimum wage in overtime, as well as
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: tips she claims were misused on the the casino's pulling system.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The lawsuit also requests liquidated damage, the interest, okay, legal fees,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: but she's saying is an upwards of five million dollars
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the casino has stolen from the dealer's tip poles and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: there they're they're not getting paid correctly. I want you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: guys to read this article to really get the feel,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and it's just so hard for me to believe. But
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a crazy claim, is that they're not
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: getting She's not getting paid on those twenty minute rakes
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: like every other casino in the world. So if Ocean
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Casino did this, shame on them. Unbelievable. Now, John, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: got some other subjects here that that's the first one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Doug Poke, Let's go back to poker. Doug, Yes, his
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: poker room was cleared. The Lodge poker room was cleared
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and set to reopen back in Texas. The biggest car room,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the Lodge Card Club Back from the Dead. Poker pro
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and co owner of the Austin Area room, Doug Poker,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: announced on social media that uh charges were dropped to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: seize money and equipment would be returned to management. Uh
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we'll reopen in a few weeks. Justice has prevailed, he adds.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The damage to our staff and members has been tremendous
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and it's not time to rebuild. We'll be putting together
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a kickoff event in the near future. This is a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: remarkable reversal. It really is. Yeah, it is. Did you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: know about this?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I saw it yesterday that he tweeted it?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Do you think there's any legal recourse like he he
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: just said, like there's been that's a lot of damage done.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: And so if they've been cleared of everything, do they
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: have a case like against well against this.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know the situation. But you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: know who said it? Someone said, oh, you said it?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You said it? What's said? John't want to said it?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: You said it?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I said, what does the world come to Texas?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: If you can't say it again?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: What is the world?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Cat did it?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: If we can't play Texas, hold them in Texas? What
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: are we doing? It is crazy like, but justice prevailed.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it sounds like it anyway, It definitely sounds
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: like it. John, We know these we know that last week.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I talked about it last couple of weeks about these
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: new casinos that have opened. Well, we just started table
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: games in New York two hours here. They just started
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: playing table games at Resorts World in Queens and uh
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they you know, table games, they are they already had slots,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but table games is a different, whole different animal here.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Now you're hurting the Sands, Bethlehem, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Atlantic
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: City and uh, they have started here already, and I'm
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'm told it's an unbelievable thing for New York and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: New York City. Now you're building three new casinos at
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: least in New York, which are going to be full
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: fledged casinos. That has to put a hurt in on
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: these casinos here, because let's face it, people in North
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Jersey and stuff, they're not going to drive the two
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: hours to Atlantic City when they can drive right over
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a bridge or tunnel, go through a tunnel. But granted
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: traffic in certain hours. That leads to another one here.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: New Jersey senators say, we've got a gun to our
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: heads with New York City casinos to New Jersey. Lawmakers
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: have proposed asking state voters to allow casinos outside Atlantic City.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: A senator in New Jersey who wants to expand casinos
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: outside Atlanta City Okay, says the Gardens state gaming industry
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: faces a grim outlook unless lawmakers act quickly. They want
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to put new casinos in North Jersey. And you know this,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not ever agreeing going to agree with politicians, I guess,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: but yes, it's definitely going to hurt New Jersey by
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: having these casinos. Now you have so much more that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you know, there's so much more of this tax dollars
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that are gonna be leaving the state. So that's gonna happen,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: free full skill operation casinos in New York. Two of
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the properties will be located in Queens In the third
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: John Well, I was gonna say, but you know what,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: they brought this on themselves. I mean when was when
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: was the first casinos in Atlantic City, Like in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: late seventies, right, seventy eighth.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you've had you've had.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Some seventy eight to to create an environment that was safe,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: that people want to come to. They're not worried about
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: getting mugged out on the boardwalk. Like they've had all
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: this time to clean up their act and they've never
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: really done it, and they've never really tried. They've never
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: invested in the players and the people in the families there,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: and this is what happens. And now now they're going
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: to have real competition, and maybe it's what forces them
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: to finally clean up their act and compete.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: John, your spot on, and I'm glad you mentioned it first,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: because I'm very tough on the industry. I'm very tough
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: on casinos and jurisdictions. And you know, I tried to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: put myself in Joe Public shoes man, because like I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: always say, I kind of am Joe Public. So they
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: have made for an environment here in Atlantic City. I
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: talked about it earlier on Wison. The boardwalk outside here
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it's okay. At daytime it's great, summertimes are great here.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: That's a lot I had a lot of fun on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this boardwalk over the years. But nighttime it's a little
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: bit different. Of an animal out there. And then if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you go the other way Atlantic Avenue Pacific Avenue, it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: can get tough out there. It can get rough. They
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: should have just some of the potholes in the street
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: are amazing. There was a lot of chances over the year,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: over the decades, like you said, to fix these things
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and write this town, John Listen. I used to come
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: round all the time, you know, we used to I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: used to film my friend's apartment all the time here
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in this high rise and literally right outside those doors.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You know, it was so dangerous out there. On that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was on Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic Avenue, there was a group
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of thugs that used to charge money to get into
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the pop buy his fried chicken, to open the door
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: for when without giving them money. And there's some bad
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: areas there, especially Atlantic Avenue. Still, uh they have police
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: cars set up on the street with no one in them,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: just police cars with the sirmen then going, you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the flash going around just to deter crime in the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: city and make it look like there's a cop there
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the street. And it's there's nothing
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I can't even get And I'm going to get down
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on these administrations. There's been so many of them that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: are have been corrupted, and we've had mayors go to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: jail here in town and everything else. So but you're
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you're right, John, They probably they probably, they probably have
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: had problems like you're saying even now because of previous
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: administrations that didn't clean up the city. So I'm glad
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it because people would come after me probably.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: But you know, listen, I'm for a safe environment. I'm
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: over here on the Marine Golden Nugget, Bergatta, and Harris
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: are the three. And yeah, that's a that's definitely safer
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: here than being over on the avenue over there where
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: some of the major casinos are. John, let's go to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: another subject here. This was pretty amazing. I didn't hear
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about this. Nelly, the singer. Nelly avoids charges in casino
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: assault case. So Nelly will not face charges for his
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: July twenty twenty five arrest AmeriStar Casino, following a decision
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to drop the misdemeanor result charges in exchange for a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: plea deal where he had a seven hundred and fifty
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: dollars fine. His real name is Cornell Hayes was accused
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of attacking a guard for refusing him to access to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a restricted casino area without a player's card. Now I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: will tell you to take Nellie's back here. I have
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: seen that myself where they wouldn't allow players. Just yesterday
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: at the Bergata and the high limit lounge, they don't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: allow players who have a high limit card to come
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: into that lounge or a player card. I find that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: kind of unusual that you won't allow I didn't know that. Oh,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: there's many casinos like that. But you know what I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: would like to get maybe opinions of people. Do you
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: think that's good? It could be good because you could
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: be protecting your higher limit players from coming in. So
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Nelly replied he didn't have a card, and he allegedly
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: shoved the guard. I'm not going to take his back
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: for that. So shoved the guard in the chest with
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a closed right hand win hand and walked in. Although
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the guard had no injuries, he chose to press charges,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: leading to a formal misdemeanor of charges against Nelly. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I guess it was security Footage later reviewed showed the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: guard standing in close proximity to the rapper, and the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: lack of audio made it difficulty prosecutor, so they dropped
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it and charged them just with a small fine. So
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: also Nelly, by the way, he's gotten himself in trouble
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: before Saint Louis. He was arrested in Hollywood casino for
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: winning a fifty thousand dollars jackpot. Obviously, Nelly's a gambler. Wow,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars slot japp jackpot which they checked. Wow,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm reading this order this part of the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: article for the first time. They checked his background. He
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: had a twenty eighteen violation for failure to a peer
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: warrant and wouldn't pay him this fifty thousand dollars. Wow.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: What does that have to do with that?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, if that's Teams John, for sure,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you better not be playing those slots because they definitely
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: won't pay you. A subsequent search allegedly Uncle covered four
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: ecstasy pills. Nellie was also the possession of narcotics. Those
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: charges were dropped later. But you know, I do know
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: if you hit a big jackpot for like a million
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: dollars or something million, I do know they'll make you
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: pay your old child support or whatever your Yeah, so
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I do know that that's true, So that I find
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that pretty interesting. Yeah, But you know what again, so
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I see these high limit rooms sometimes that don't allow
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: certain you have to have a certain card level. How
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: do you determine it? Maybe someone wants to come in
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with a lot of money though, and gamble like in
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: high limits. So it's kind of sketchy there. I can't
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: believe with these laws and how things are so uh,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know, let's just face it. Let's still woke today
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that they would allow something like that to happen. Anyway, Uh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: casino in New Hampshire to become the first open Oh look,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. My god. So there was a Staples
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: store in a Staples it was a home home store. Yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Okay, this is unbelievable. So that they're closing
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: one of these Staples. They're closing the Staples, the home
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: office superstore they're closed. They're closing that and making it
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: into a casino. I just can't believe. Numerous casinos have opened.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Where's the department stores? A casino plan for Kilburn Led
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: shopping Center in Littleton, New Hampshire will soon become the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: first to open up in a in a Staples store.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So now they're opening up, they're closing the Staples. At
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the it's happening in it's supposed that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the store has been closed in February and now they're
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: giving they're been given four months to vacate. They're opening
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a casino in this Staples store. And there's been many
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: shopping centers that have casinos now all over Hampton. B
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: is that I can't believe it's everywhere. Is there a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: place in this country? Can anyone tell us out there
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: if you live within a three hour drive of anywhere
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: in this country where there's not a casino? I mean
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they're they're looking the brick, every living human, they're looking
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the brick at these casinos everywhere. Yeah, a little mom
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and pop towns. I find it absolutely amazing.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I just do.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I find it absolutely amazing of what's going on? John,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: How about this one? This is a subject that I've
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: been talking about since perhaps were repealed for responsible gambling.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Online gambling blame for a sharp rise and personal bankruptcies
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: coast to coast. Of course, of course, it is, of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: course OMLI gambling could be playing a role in the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: rising personal bankruptcy filings. Bankruptcy rose twelve percent in the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: last fiscal year, according to attorneys and financial advisors, saying
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they're seeing the drastic increase in debt due to casino gambling.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Well it's a portion of it, of course. But you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you though, John, when I hear this,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I just think some of these, some of these jurisdictions
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that have the go back to what I'm saying, the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: eye gambling platforms like New Jersey, like right here, when
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to play, and and you're allowed to play,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you know, in the safety of your own house using
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: debit or credit cards. Of course, yeah, their rise to unbelievable,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you know, records and stuff. But this is what I say.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to casino credit, you cannot write
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: off casino credit for the most part. In certain states
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you can. In other words, that's considered a bad check law.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: If you come to Nevada and you write, you sign
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a marker in Nevada, it's considered a bad check. You're
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: writing a bad check for considering committing felony, and therefore
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you're can be put in jail for that, you know.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's I'm gonna read this for you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: In a chapter seven case that that would be dischargeable
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: in certain areas. In Chapter thirteen, gambling guests will be
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: included in the payment planet any remaining balance discharged at
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the end of the plan, explaining David Stevens, a new
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Jersey bankruptcy attorney. So there is ways around this, I guess,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but is that the solution is the solution to make
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: people have bankruptcies and now they're just going to start
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: over no matter what they say, they want a fresh start.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Bankruptcy gives them that platform. Listen, I know the human
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: condition and human tendencies. I know, I say that word
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a lot. This kind of gives people the start to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: start over and do this again. And I'm not blaming
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the people, I'm blaming the ease of being able to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: do it. I think there should be more restrictions on
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the way things are financed and funded, and caps on
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: gambling more than anything, you know, speaking of which know
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: that they try to say that there is caps and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: they have these restrictions now and the KYC know your
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Customer Law and the KYC restrictions put in place and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: forced a little bit more now that all of the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: because of Matt Boyer, who we went to his house
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and had him on the show. Yeah, we were the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: first show to have him on. Was us to have
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: him on? There and he has uh put h. He
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: has cast literally uh a big, a big thing on
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: many different casinos now tightening their practices and trying to
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: be more compliant to the laws. But you know it's funny.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: So Matt, I haven't spoken to him, but he is
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: added to the bat As Black Book. You think you
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: knew about that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I talked to him a week ago.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for telling me. What did you have to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: say with my connection? Would you? What do you have
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to say?
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I well, I saw that uh that post about him
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: getting added, and and there was a quote from him
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: saying that he wasn't gonna fight it, that he wasn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: even going to fight it, and I I reached out
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: to him and I said, hey, I just saw this article.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I said, I think you should go to this hearing
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: because you're you're very likable in person, and then they
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: just look at you as a as a as a
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: newspaper headline and they don't get to interact with you.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I think then you have no shot. But I think
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: if you could actually plea your case to them, you
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: could have a chance.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And he said, he's not even allowed to go to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the hearing because he's not allowed to leave the state
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: But he said he met with them, He already met
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: with them in person, and he said, they don't care
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: about me. They just want to make an example out
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: of me.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And it is what it is. Oh okay, all right,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: john you go around Orlando. That's your new name, guy, Hey,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And this is what it is. I understand the way
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Johnny Hollywood works. Oh my god. So this article Matt Boyer,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the illegal bookmaker in the center of the Showy at
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Tany betting scandal, was officially edited Abatis Black Book they Thursday,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: primarily borrowing him from every casino in the state. Let
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: me just tell you he is banned from He is
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: banned from the casinos in Nevada because he was involved
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in the show Yotani case. But to be real blunt,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: if you want to start banning bookmakers and stuff like that,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they can have a thick enough
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: book to put all the names. I've said it before,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again. If you want to start banning
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: people that yet black and white, you want to start
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: banning all those gray names, I don't know if you'll
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: be able to even You might just put a lock
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: on the door. I mean, there's you know, they were
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: worry about people that are coming in making the money
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: in illegal areas and bring into the casino. Well, then
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: why doesn't Resorts World, where he lost thirteen million dollars,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: why don't they have to pay some of the money
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: back and give some of the money back that they
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: took off this illegal gambler. So in the end we
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: get it all. That's what ash Rotstein said in Casino.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: He's right, because you can watch every one of those
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: episodes of American Greed and half of them are people
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that lost their money in casinos or gambling somewhere and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the casino or gambling corporation gets to keep the money,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Unlike if they stole jewelry or went to a pawn
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: shop or something that they have a physical item where
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they sold, they have to give the money back, but
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the casinos don't. Must be something going on there politically,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I guess, right. Yeah, anyway, you know Matt, Yes, Matt
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: was an illegal bookmaker. Absolutely, he was an illegal bookmaker.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: You go up, go up and down the California coast.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You can't you can't stop every single day, you can't
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: stop from singing five of them. And in the card rooms,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: in the poker rooms, they're all over the place. You
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: go to every single poker room and they're everywhere. The
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: ship bakers, you're gonna start putting them all on the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: black book anyway. That's something about Matt. I thought it was.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I seen that, and.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: It's crazy to me how it extends through not just gambling,
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: but like you can't even go to Aria to eat dinner.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: That's crazy to me.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You can't even got to a restaurant. Yeah, you y
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: can't come in none of the casinos. Here's a guy
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: who not only lost a lot of money, but it's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: not like he you know, it's not like he beat
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the casinos at the money. He lost all his money
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in the casinos. So yeah, in the end they get
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: it all. John. Let's talk about wire a two hundred
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: dollar it's a two hundred dollars one to win one
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three thousand dollars.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: These these bets are amazing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Listen. I hate parlays. It's a sucker bet. No matter
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: what anyone says, these bets for the most part, are
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: sucker bets. They really are. But everyone bets them. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: go to the counters here and I even see I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: listened to I want to parlay. I want to parlay.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I want to everyone looking to make money. You know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: it's like that parlay that. There was a parlay last
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: week that hit down at the hard Rock in Florida
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: for like two million bucks give or take guys.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't know guys hitting home runs, the
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: home run.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: One hitting home runs thirty dollars. The guy bet and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: won like two million bucks. So of course they put
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: it out there because they want to entice other people
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to bet, make these type of bets. The money in
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: volume that overcomes this two million bucks. They know it's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: hard to bleed, but everyone says, wow, you could do that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I gotta try that. And meanwhile, all of these casinos
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely love when someone hit something big. Maybe not that big,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but they when they hit something big for a small amount.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And you could see by the way that guy bet
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was thirty dollars and eleven cents. He
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: bet you could see all the money he had in
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: his account. So you broke the guy. Basically, he's down
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to his last pennies and he bets some you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: crazy bet and actually wins a bet that only someone
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: like John Lando can win. Sorry on the show. I
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: don't need you, Bry John. So I bet at four
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: leg parlay two hundred dollars to win one hundred and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: fifty three thousand Indiana you losers to win the NCAA
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: F Championship winner, Seattle Seahawks to beat New England Winter,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverines to win Winter. Now he needs Colorado to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: win the Stanley Cup is his last leg of the parlay.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It's two hundred dollars to win one hundred and fifty
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: three right now, it's worth forty seven thousand dollars in
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: bet value. Wow. Now, because you only bet two hundred
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: dollars originally and you look at the forty seven thousand
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: dollars that it's worth. My god, I think you got that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: You know you have. Well, by the way, there's a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: cash out, So the site offers you thirty nine thousand,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: but through wager Wire and the wager Wire app it's
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: forty seven thousand. So it's you know, much much more
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: going through wager Wire of course, in the wager Wire
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: app and wagerwar dot com. But yeah, I think you've
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: got to get a little something for your money here.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I think you got to take a little piece, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: get get something better. You met in two hundred bucks,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: so it's it's two hundred dollars, which is, you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: if you win a thousand or two thousand, maybe not,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: but to win to cash out and take some of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: your money back at the forty seven thousand. At this
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: point you could actually do a little bit hedging too.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: But just some of these betch do you said over
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: at wager wire, crazy man? Some of these something?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: So Bill, you know my question, you know my question,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: are you a buyer?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I'm really gonna look ato it too too deeply, to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, I didn't really look look what
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: it's worth now compared to you know what it is here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It's it's funny. I just logged on the bet MGM.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I tried to log on. It says are you in
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: New Jersey? I love these apps that do that though.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: They tell you right away they know your jurisdiction and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: they'll transfer your balance over, you know, to New Jersey. Though.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: So let's look at the Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup. There
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: plus two two thirty. I'm looking just at bet MGM
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: real quick, so they're plus two to one at bet MGM,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: which means that the forty seven thousand that I'm looking
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: at here. You know what, John, probably if I'm looking
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: right here, this this may this this could be pretty interesting.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: They're saying it's worth forty seven thousand dollars in change, right,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: forty seven thousand, one oh five. You know, now that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I see the odds to win at two and a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: half to one, I may want to look into this
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: a little deeper myself. So really, yeah, yeah for a piece.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I never want to buy the person outright,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I want them to have a rooting interest, so and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I want to be on the team here. So the odds, Yeah,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the original odds here of seven hundred and sixty four
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to one, which is amazing the current odds, like I said,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: plus two twenty five compared to the the odds for
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the ticket. So it's something to look at. And there's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a lot more of these guys over at the wager
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Wire marketplace. It's wagerwire dot com and the wager Wire app. Guys,

  Speaker 1: try to talk good and bad about everything. And I'm
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: going to talk good and bad about my Atlantic city
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: trip when I get back next week. I'll do a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: recap of what's going on here. I was talking about
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the weather, how it's sometimes. I talked about it on
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Misen this morning. You know it's cloudy, John, it's cloudy,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it's rainy. It seems like there's a lot of clouds
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: in the air. I talked about this legitimate thing called
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: seasonal mood disorder. Like the winters are rough here. People
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: have it right. It's not like John's sitting outside with
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the bird trip and looking up at the sunshine. That's
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: not the way it is. John. On the East Coast,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I know you vote. You grew up in Hollywood there
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: on a bird bank or wherever. You know, Brentwood, What
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: do you want to say, John, there's no depression in
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: your I.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Was gonna say to your point. You know, my buddy
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Roger from Detroit. Yeah, I think I've said this before
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: on the show. I can't remember. But he there are
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: times he calls me in January and February and he
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: will say, we have not seen the sun in fifty
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: six days. And it's my brain, being from California, from
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: La originally and now living here in Vegas, my brain
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: can't even I always think he's lying to me, but
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: he's not.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: He'll literally say, some numes we don't see the sun
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: for two months.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: And of course, John, him saying that to you, you
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: can of course you can't relate. At least you're honest
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: about it. You know, growing up in California, the sunshine,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: even Vegas and being a trust fund kid that you know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it's hard to relate. It is hard to relate to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: us people that are out there grinded. Okay, Johnny, Hollywoo,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the next subject here. This is about
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: prediction markets. Johnny h Yeah, can regulators stop prediction markets
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: insider trading? Most Americans say no phone shows an app
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: downloaded for Calshi and other prediction market sites. Americans don't
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: believe the industry can effectively reduce insider trading. A new
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: poll from Scripts News indicate sixty two percent of Americans
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: queried said they were either not very confident or have
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: no confidence at all on the inside because you know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: we just read about these things about the inside trading
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: that goes on, and we've seen what happened after the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: US military one of the people they're involved, they were
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: they were arrested because they put like thirty nine thousand
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: dollars don't get me, don't don't quote me exactly on
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the will Nicholas Maduro, the former Venezuela and Venezuelan dictator,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: be be arrested or out of power. So that was
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: a big thing here, and it's of course got the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: it's in the media talking about that, and you know,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, the prediction markets, Yeah, they
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: they offer some of the things are really stupid with
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: they they offer and some of the things that i mean,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Polymarket was just had a big subject about the White
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: House correspondent dinner, so poly market offered a field. It's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: just ridiculous that they actually offered something which it should
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: violate the commodities and futures trading rules here and regulation.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: You cannot have any kind of some of these things
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that they involved with, things like Maduro or anything there.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: They they what the market was on the White House
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Correspondence dinner was will anyone be kicked out of the dinner?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: One contract asked, And yeah, I mean, come on, you
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: can't have that kind of a market. You can't have
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: political markets like that. I agree. I don't like it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's one thing that's for sports
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: and different events, but not any kind of catastrophes or anything.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely terrible. But I will tell you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: one thing now that it's baseball season and you see
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the lines on a lot of these prediction markets. There's
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: more than just the Calshi and polymarkets. There's other ones also.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And the markets are so much tighter than that of
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: these sportsbooks on this coast especially, but even in Las Vegas.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: You know, we used to have ten cent lines everywhere.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: What that means, John, is minus a dollar sixty on
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a baseball game on the favorite you like one hundred
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and sixty to win one hundred on the underdog. You
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: bet one hundred to win one hundred and fifty, that's gone.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: That's gone. There is none of that at all. South Point,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I think goes up to one fifty. Now it's the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: only sportsbook in Las Vegas minus one fifty on the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: favorite come back a dollar forty. Everyone else is minus
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: one fifty, come back a dollar thirty five or even
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: down to a dollar twenty five. Baseball is unbeatable at
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: twenty cent lines. Unbeatable. Cannot do it, don't even play it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: That's how strong it is. Really. Yes, they have the
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: game on the efficient market at twenty cent lines. Forget it,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: forget about it, absolutely forget about it. Even even Johnny
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Oh what his with his world famous Dodgers bets that
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: put many people in a homeless man, will tell you
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you're not kidding.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: You're not kidding. Especially this lasts like ten days or whatever.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Dodgers have been an absolute disaster.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But going back to what I'm saying, though it
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: probably is the way of the future, I have not
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: graduated to these yet. And you know, Nevada has some
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: questions of law there, whether cal She's even legal. As
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: of April twenty twenty six, reading an article here, So
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I will wait for that to be overturned or the
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: gray to turn to black or white, and we'll find
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: out what that is. I want to know if it's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: perfectly legal to play, and it's just that I see
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: more and more people going over to the prediction markets,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: which after someone showed me on his phone and showed
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: me how easy it is to use. You're buying contracts,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: but you're literally it's the same thing as you know,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: you're you're gambling. You know, for people that say it's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: not gambling, it's definitely gambling. But however it's it's it's
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: a benefit for the consumer that does play these things.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: You're saving a lot of juice in the end. Literally,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: you're betting two or three cent baseball lines even after
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: they're even after their commission, compared to that of the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: places that are twenty and twenty five cent money lines,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: which I'm just telling you, even for football, the money
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: line on football NFL is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Not eleven
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: to ten on a side. It's eleven to ten maybe
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: on side. But as far as the money lines in Vegas,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: you know, there's still a minus a dollar forty come
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: back a dollar twenty on some of these wider markets
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: that are these new sports books that came to the country.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, minus a dollar forty is coming back
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: like a dollar fifteen or a dollar ten. That's ridiculous
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: on money line. So that's where these prediction markets and
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: these places like Calshie and stuff definitely benefit the player.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Anything else, John, anything else going on? Nothing? Really? What
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: What are you up to?
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: What have you been doing?
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: I went to the playoff game last night Golden Knights,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: of course you did, uh?
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: And it was a blast. And when double overtime Night's.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: One four friends, I told my guys that that are
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: here and I said, wow, what a game last night.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was double was the yeah time? Yeah? Yeah?
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah was that was the place going.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Crazy crazy, absolutely crazy. Yeah. Yeah, it was a lot
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: of fun. I went with ian Ian and Town and
• 43:45

• 44:21
  Speaker 2: You got Yeah, it's fun though, It's really fun.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: It's so they have such great sweet It is so Yeah, John,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: we went to a Raiders game in the suite there
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. And isn't it cool?
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: The sweet experience is so cool. The things, yea, the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: seats aren't the greatest. You're not close to the field,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: but you're off above.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Looking at everything, and yeah, no, it's I love it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Fantastic.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you, I'll tell you what else is
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: cool about Vegas that you know. I grew up obviously
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: in LA and Dodgers Stadium after a game is a
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: nightmare to get out of. Walking through the stadium is
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: a is awful. And then the parking lot experience and
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: traffic is awful here. I I don't ever have an
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: issue like you can drive right out of the parking
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: garages where whether you're at New York, New York or
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: or uh Park MGM, it's easy, John.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I have went to many games and concerts at T Mobile.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I have went to games and concerts at Allegiance. Mg.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I always say, I can't believe how easy it was
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: to get out of here.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: It's easy, easy to get out.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's maybe because the drive in traffic's not what
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: it is in LA or New York. It's so I
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: guess to get it out. Listen all the things you say,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I'm tough on casinos and stuff. Vegas is a great
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: place to lise for concerts and sporting events. And yeah,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: we just we have such good things restaurants. We have
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: great things in Vegas and that's one of them.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: And yeah, and people complain about like the News the
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: News stadium, you know, the that the A's are going
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: to play in, And like I obvious see comments saying, oh,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: it's just what we need. Enough stadium right on the strip.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: The traffic is going to be crazy, And I'm like,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: what are you talking about? The T mobiles right there?
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: There's no issue Allegiance there, there's no issue. The Grand
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Garden Arena was there before, there's no there's no issue.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know what where people get this traffic issue
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: from I'm not saying there's a traffic in Vegas like
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: on the during rush hour now on the on the highway.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Sure there's traffic, but like leaving the stadiums is easy,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: it's not a factor.
