Transcript
- 0:18Hello, and welcome to episode 123 of the All Systems Go sports
- 0:24Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:27I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on, everyone happy
- 0:35Thirsty Thursday. The wait is over.
- 0:37We have football back in our lives.
- 0:40Isn't it funny? We go like six months without
- 0:41football, just waiting and waiting and feels like forever.
- 0:44And then when you go from just Monday to Thursday, it feels
- 0:47like forever too. So either way, guys, we got some
- 0:49football to talk about today. Obviously, we have New England
- 0:53and The Jets, Pat's Jets here tonight.
- 0:55I got a play for you in terms of the side.
- 0:58I have a play for you in terms of a player prop.
- 1:00Also, college football hinted at this game a little bit yesterday
- 1:03with South Alabama, Appalachian State.
- 1:06I got to play on that as well. I'm not going to forget about
- 1:08baseball. I got 1 baseball bet that caught
- 1:10my eye. Not only a sharp line move, but
- 1:12I want to fade a team that just clinched a playoff spot last
- 1:15night. I think maybe they're still
- 1:16hungover or maybe they're still drunk.
- 1:18Either way, I want to bet against them.
- 1:19And then WNBAI know it's football season, but we got
- 1:23back, dipped our toe back in the WNBA couple nights ago, had a
- 1:26winner, found another one here for tonight that we can sweat
- 1:29together if you are interested. And then also, I'm going to give
- 1:32you my updated breakdown, my card for this weekend games that
- 1:36I already have in pocket. And pocket is a phrase that
- 1:38really I never heard of until Mitch and Polly and Vson started
- 1:41talking about but about it. But in pocket means you've
- 1:43already bet the game. You're holding a ticket, you
- 1:45know, in your pocket or your wallet as whatever the case may
- 1:48be, but then also a game that I am just adding.
- 1:52I just added it today. I've been looking at it, staring
- 1:55at it and it looks like it's going to fall even further.
- 1:57So I'm going to grab this dog and the points right now for the
- 2:00NFL. So overall, 5 pack today, two
- 2:03NFL bats, 1 college football bet, one MLB bet and one WNBA
- 2:07bet. Now, looking back toward
- 2:08yesterday, how about a nice little one and O?
- 2:11There was a big slate of baseball, so we decided to pick
- 2:14our spot. Got down on the D backs.
- 2:16D backs came through. So you're 1 and O + 0.6 units.
- 2:20I will take it. But not just the 0.6 units,
- 2:22probably a little bit more than that.
- 2:24For those of you who are like me, celebrating the over 83 1/2
- 2:28wins, that's right. This is a test case of doing
- 2:31your homework much earlier in the year before the season
- 2:34starts and then having to wait. Patience is a virtue, but
- 2:36getting rewarded when they cash for you.
- 2:38So D backs over 83 1/2 wins was my favorite win total, the MLB,
- 2:43basically of any MLB team. And it took until what,
- 2:46September 18th to cash that one? So we will take it.
- 2:50Secondly, I'm feeling great because I had a really fun night
- 2:53last night. I told you guys I went to Post
- 2:55Malone at Fenway Park. Obviously, I've been to Fenway
- 2:57Park and seen tons of Red Sox games.
- 3:00My first game was with my dad when I was, I don't know, six
- 3:02years old. I I still remember seeing the
- 3:04Green Monster for the first time and falling in love with
- 3:07baseball and the Red Sox. But I'd never attended a
- 3:09concert. So we were in the pit.
- 3:11We were basically around third base, shortstop kind of left
- 3:15field. It was a fantastic show.
- 3:18I know Post Malone from his rap days, but he has a new album.
- 3:21It's a country album and it is fantastic.
- 3:23And I'm not a country fan. He made me like country.
- 3:25So it was a fantastic concert, had a ton of fun.
- 3:28I'm a little banged up today, but that's all right.
- 3:30Nothing 3 Advil and some Gatorade won't won't fix, if you
- 3:33know what I'm saying. So anyway, let's dive it into
- 3:36our sweats here guys, because we got a lot going on on a big
- 3:38Thirsty Thursday and I want to start off with biggest game of
- 3:41the night. Of course, we have the Patriots
- 3:43and The Jets, 2 of the AFC bitter rivals for going on many
- 3:49a year at this point. But anyway, this game opens.
- 3:51This is really interesting. Now what do we see across the
- 3:54market here? Let's set the stage.
- 3:55Patriots are one and one. I always like to give a little
- 3:57bit of background going into a game.
- 3:59Pats are one and one. Remember they shocked the
- 4:01Bengals in the opener. They lost to the Seahawks 23 to
- 4:0420. Luckily for us who got the hook?
- 4:05You covered that game. Jets one and one took down the
- 4:08Titans 2417 as around a 3 1/2 or 4 point favorite.
- 4:11Don't remind me because I had Titans in the points in that
- 4:13one. Anyway, what do we see across
- 4:15the market here? Well, this game opened with The
- 4:18Jets as a 7 point, mostly 7, but some 6 1/2's out there.
- 4:22Seven 6 1/2 point favorite. Now the immediate move that
- 4:26we've seen has been toward New England.
- 4:28New England went from plus 7 + 6 1/2 down to +6.
- 4:32Now I'm going to tell you in a second here, hint, hint.
- 4:34I'm going to take the points of the Patriots, but shop around.
- 4:36Try to get the hook. Either shop around and find that
- 4:39hook. I see at least two books right
- 4:40now still offering Pat's plus 6 1/2 at -120.
- 4:44If you are at a book that's like six juiced up toward The Jets,
- 4:48you could flip it. Like if it's jets -6 -. 115, you
- 4:51could take the Patriots +6 at -105 take them up to around
- 4:55-120. I think the hook could be
- 4:57critical here. So that's why I would do
- 4:58everything in your power to shop or buy it up.
- 5:00And again, I'm not a big fan of buying points.
- 5:02It really doesn't make as much of a difference as you think
- 5:05long term. But around key numbers and
- 5:07trying to get sharp triggering numbers, I think it is
- 5:09meaningful. So you don't want to buy up the
- 5:11points in every game. I'm like the Doseki Sky.
- 5:12I don't usually buy points, but when I do, it's around a key
- 5:15number trying to get a trying to get a triggering number from the
- 5:18wise guys. But anyway, the Lions always
- 5:20gone toward New England plus 7 + 6 and half down to +6.
- 5:24Now, I was telling you guys that I was a little apprehensive
- 5:27about this game because the Patriots were, quote UN quote, a
- 5:29trendy dog. Like if you're looking
- 5:32throughout the week, you know, New England was getting early
- 5:35Monday, Tuesday, like 60% of bets, which again, it's not 70,
- 5:39it's not 80. But still, you know, public
- 5:41tends to bet favorites. So when I saw that line move,
- 5:43when I said, hey, Patriots got the line move, that means
- 5:45they're taking in smart money. But also I don't want to be on
- 5:48the public side. So I said, let's wait it out.
- 5:50And what I was hoping happened ended up happening.
- 5:53And what that what that was is basically the betting
- 5:56percentages evening out. So throughout the week, Pat's
- 5:58are getting around 60% of bets. The updated split right now is
- 6:02Patriots getting 52% of spread bets.
- 6:05So you got to remember public tends to bet day of the game.
- 6:08Looks like a lot of Jets money's been flowing in short week.
- 6:11Aaron Rodgers, don't believe in the Patriots again.
- 6:14You're seeing a lot of continued or expanded jet support, even
- 6:18though it's not like The Jets are evening out in terms of
- 6:21percentage bet. And now they're back up to
- 6:23seven. No, it's pretty much stayed at
- 6:24six. So I like the fact that New
- 6:26England's down to 52%. Who knows, they might close at
- 6:2949 percent, 48%. I know we're splitting hairs
- 6:32here, but technically they would be on the contrarian side.
- 6:35So my fear of Patriots being too trendy, I don't really fear that
- 6:38much anymore. It's basically a 5050 game.
- 6:40So in a 5050 game, we talked about it a lot, you know,
- 6:44reading line movement, comparing line movement to percentages and
- 6:47bets with what does it tell you? It tells me that, you know, in a
- 6:49vacuum, 5050 line shouldn't move at all.
- 6:52Theoretically, there's no reason for the oddsmakers to adjust the
- 6:55number. The fact that we've moved toward
- 6:57the Patriots, whether a full point, a point 1/2 point, even
- 7:01though it's split 5050, tells me that this is pretty smart money
- 7:04on New England. So I'm going to go Patriots
- 7:06here, guys. A lot of betting systems on the
- 7:08Patriots. If you look at dogs overall this
- 7:12year, after not a great week one, they crushed it in week
- 7:14two. Dogs are now 17 and 14 against
- 7:17the spread 55% with a 5% ROI this year.
- 7:20This is incredible. But dogs getting six or more,
- 7:23they're perfect. Eight.
- 7:23No. Excuse me against the spread
- 7:25this so far this season. Rd. dogs easy way to go
- 7:28contrarian public loves home teams and favorites.
- 7:31Rd. dogs are 14 and 9 against the spread. 61 percent, 17% ROI
- 7:35this year they're 517 and 434 ATS 54% with a 5% ROI since
- 7:412018. Divisional dogs.
- 7:44Another reason why I like New England here is it's a
- 7:45divisional game. Divisional dogs bark louder than
- 7:48non division dogs because the built in familiar familiarity
- 7:52leveling the playing field benefiting the team getting
- 7:54points. Divisional dogs are two O 8 and
- 7:56178 ATS 54 percent 4% ROI since 2020.
- 8:01Primetime dogs. You know we love our primetime
- 8:03dogs. 123 and 95 against the spread 56 percent 8% ROI since
- 8:082020. Patriots are also a correlative
- 8:11betting dog in a low total game Total in this one is 38 1/2, a
- 8:15very low low number here. So with a low number like that
- 8:18really in the NFL, anything around 40 is low.
- 8:21Anything around 50 is high, but few amount of expected points
- 8:24scored harder for that favorite to cover the number, especially
- 8:26when they're, you know, laying a touchdown here now with the
- 8:29extra point the touchdown though, But anyway, I mentioned
- 8:33this in my sharp report for visen.com.
- 8:35You can always find it. I'll tweet it out at Josh under
- 8:38Score Insights each day, but we've identified the line going
- 8:41to the Patriots. All these great system matches.
- 8:43They're not as they're not as public anymore.
- 8:46Here's the thing. Got to get the hook.
- 8:48I mentioned this a second ago. Got to get the 6 1/2.
- 8:50Shop around. I'll give you an example.
- 8:53FanDuel right now is hanging plus 6 1/2 at -120 if you want
- 8:57to buy it up, just try to do everything you can in your power
- 9:00to get the 6 1/2. Perfect example with the Eagles
- 9:04game against the Falcons. You know we got 5 1/2, they had
- 9:07a shot there. If Eagles kicked a field goal to
- 9:10lose by 6, of course they came back and covered, but you would
- 9:14have lost your 5 1/2 instead of pusher 6.
- 9:16So with the hook here, the 6 1/2 Pats lose by 6.
- 9:20We want to win instead of just push.
- 9:22Now in terms of the under, I do lean under it open 40 1/2, it's
- 9:27down to 38 1/2, but the under is getting around 60% of bets in
- 9:31dollars. It actually fell all the way
- 9:33down to 37 1/2, then came back up.
- 9:35Now unders are 55% to start the year.
- 9:38Outdoor divisional unders are 56% since 2021.
- 9:41When the total falls at least to point off the opener.
- 9:44The under is 57% since 2021. Primetime unders are four and
- 9:48three this year, and they're 60% since 2019.
- 9:51John Hussey, the lead ref, is a really good under F historically
- 9:5556%. So I lean under.
- 9:58My only concern with the under is it's a little more public.
- 10:00It's 60% of bets on the under. Like the public thinks this is
- 10:03going to be a low scoring game, which worries me.
- 10:05And if we get to our rhythm predictions here, rhythm is
- 10:09predicting a total of 41.8. So gun to my gun to the head,
- 10:14like I'll go under just because you know, the total has fallen.
- 10:17It is a prime time under. We got all these system matches.
- 10:19But with rhythm predicting this line to go over and the under
- 10:22being a little bit public, that's making me lay off the
- 10:25total. So instead I'm just going
- 10:27Patriots guys plus 6 1/2. And I'll mention this to another
- 10:30reason why I like the Patriots. Rhythm is predicting a spread of
- 10:34plus 3.1 for New England and my Josh rhythm model is predicting
- 10:38plus 3.5 S Again, rhythm is predicting a closer game than
- 10:43what the odds makers are predicting, which provides value
- 10:46to take the points here. So I'm going Patriots guys, shop
- 10:48around, do anything you can scratch claw, find that hook +6
- 10:53and half New England. Now I do have a prop bet for
- 10:55you. This is a ain't broke, don't fix
- 10:57it prop. One running back who has cashed
- 11:00for me two weeks in a row is Romandre Stevenson over his
- 11:03rushing total, and I'm going to go right back to the well with
- 11:06Romandre Stevenson over 64 1/2 rushing yards.
- 11:10Now, Stevenson have 120 yards in Week 1.
- 11:14He had 81 yards last week. He's gone over this number in
- 11:17five of his last six games. Combined that with the fact that
- 11:20The Jets are getting shredded in terms of rush defense, they gave
- 11:24up 180 to the 49ers. They give up 1:30 to the Titans,
- 11:28their 24th in the NFL and rushing yards allowed with
- 11:31averaging 155. So not only is Stevenson playing
- 11:34well, but it looks to be at least on paper, a good matchup
- 11:37against The Jets defense. And then I look at our rhythm
- 11:41prediction here for Romandre Stevenson.
- 11:43Let me just dial it up for you and we have let me see here,
- 11:48pull it up on my iPhone. We have Romandre Stevenson
- 11:52expected 73.6 rushing yards. So we got an edge.
- 11:57Patriots are running team. I know a lot of people who
- 12:00really like his like over. I think it's 15 and half
- 12:03attempts, but I'm just see if we can rack up some yardage here.
- 12:05I'm going Stevenson over 64 1/2 and I'm going Patriots plus the
- 12:09hook. Find that hook plus 6 1/2.
- 12:12Now it's not just Patriots Jets. We got a college game to look at
- 12:16here tonight guys. Let's look at, I think it's a
- 12:197:30 PM, it's on ESPN heavily bet primetime and we have some
- 12:24Sunbelt funbelt opportunities here.
- 12:27So a big match up. I say big, you know, it's any
- 12:30game is big, I guess if you bet on it.
- 12:32But a match up here in the Sunbelt, South Alabama and App
- 12:34State. Now I hinted at this yesterday
- 12:37and I'm sticking with my lien and it became a transition from
- 12:40a lien into an official bet for me.
- 12:41I'm going South Alabama plus 7 1/2.
- 12:45Now, little background here. South Alabama comes in one and
- 12:47two. App State comes in two and one.
- 12:50South Alabama opened O and two and poor Northwestern State.
- 12:54They beat them last week 87 to 10.
- 12:57There should be a mercy rule there.
- 12:58App State won their opener against ETSU.
- 13:01They lost to Clemson, got rolled and they came back and beat ECU
- 13:04by two last week. But what do we see across the
- 13:06market here? Well, it looks like some really
- 13:09sharp liability, some some line freeze, reverse line movement on
- 13:12South Alabama. So this game opened Appalachian
- 13:15State around a 7 1/2 point favorite throughout the week.
- 13:19Early in the week, it got up to as high as -8 but now it's come
- 13:22back down to 7 1/2. And if you look at the juice,
- 13:25all these seven and a halfs are juiced up towards South Alabama.
- 13:28Like it may even get down to seven.
- 13:30So if you'll get all these +7 and a halfs, they're -115 to
- 13:33South Alabama. Thinking that again, it may fall
- 13:36even further. I like to buy back.
- 13:38I like the movement, but I love the fact that no one wants to
- 13:40play South Alabama tonight. Everyone's on App State.
- 13:43If you remember years and years ago, I'm this is how old I'm
- 13:46getting. I'm 37.
- 13:47But do you remember what App state?
- 13:49I think they upset Michigan and I feel like ever since that
- 13:52game, like App states, kind of like a trendy team like oh, App
- 13:55State. Oh, like the public remembers
- 13:57them and wants to play them. So currently you're getting App
- 14:00state with 70% of spread bets, 7 out of 10 bets, all the drunk
- 14:05guys at the bar on App state. Yet this line is coming back
- 14:08towards South Alabama. So South Alabama only getting
- 14:1130% of bets, put 45% of dollars a nice low bets, higher dollars
- 14:15bet split. They're also a huge contrarian
- 14:18primetime dog. So betting against the public in
- 14:20a heavily bet primetime game. South Alabama has a 2 day rest
- 14:24advantage. They last played on Thursday
- 14:26versus you look at App State played on Saturday.
- 14:30So nice little rest. First tired spot.
- 14:33Also have a system match in the Sunbelt.
- 14:35You have seen Sunbelt conference games, the dog do pretty well
- 14:39since 2020. Sunbelt Conference dogs are 106
- 14:42and 87 against the spread 55%. Also, if you look at a system
- 14:49match that I love as well, it's a dog who can score.
- 14:51So if you're on a dog, you either need a really good
- 14:53defense to keep the, you know, the the other team in terms of
- 14:56low scoring cover the number, or you got to put up points
- 14:59yourself and cover that number or backdoor cover.
- 15:02Well, maybe it's skewed because they put up 87 against Little
- 15:04Old Northwestern State, but they've scored 145 points this
- 15:08year. That's the most in the Sunbelt.
- 15:09App States only scored 79 points.
- 15:12So maybe this is an App State win by 7 where we just squeak
- 15:15out with a with a hook with a + 7 1/2.
- 15:18Who knows, maybe it's an upset. Maybe it's a 3 point game, six
- 15:21point game, but I'm going to take the points here.
- 15:23Super contrarian, sharp buyback. And a little cherry on top,
- 15:26Rhythm is predicting A6 point spread.
- 15:29Rhythm has South Alabama +6, so if we're getting 7 1/2 some
- 15:33value there, let's go South Alabama.
- 15:36Did anyone tell me the South Alabama mascot?
- 15:39It's the Jaguar. So let's go Jags maybe.
- 15:42So Major League Baseball, this is one of those ain't broke,
- 15:45don't fix it place. I'm looking at once again, the
- 15:48Arizona snakes. Now our win total has been
- 15:50cashed over 83 1/2, but now looking to just win a game here
- 15:54today on Arizona. I like Arizona at Milwaukee.
- 15:57Now, this one is interesting for a couple of reasons.
- 16:00One, let's just start with the market.
- 16:02This line's moving toward Arizona.
- 16:03Arizona open this game at Milwaukee, basically a pick em.
- 16:07It was like -1 O 5 both sides. Or it was actually some shops
- 16:11opened with Milwaukee as a little bit of a favorite like
- 16:13-115 either way, we've now flipped to Arizona -115 I'm
- 16:18looking, I'm looking at one shop even -120 so all movement has
- 16:22been toward the D backs. You'll get the bet split.
- 16:25Arizona's only getting 56% of bets, but 76% of dollars.
- 16:30So nice low bets, higher dollars bet, split pitching matchup.
- 16:33Brandon Fodd is going for the Snakes.
- 16:36He's nine and nine, 4.81 ERA. Tobias Myers gets the ball from
- 16:41Milwaukee's eight and five, 3 point O 7 ERA.
- 16:44But also I got a lot of system matches on Arizona.
- 16:47If you look at short Rd. favorites -130 or less, 56
- 16:51percent, 4% ROI this year. Rd. favorites getting steam
- 16:55$0.10 or more, 63 percent, 6% ROI.
- 16:58Non division Rd. favorite off a win, 58%, 2% ROI.
- 17:02Also we have the Snakes as one of the best chalk teams in
- 17:06baseball mentioned yesterday, but Arizona is now 51 and 29 as
- 17:10a favorite, which they are favorite here tonight.
- 17:13I'm going to bank on Arizona's offense hopefully showing up.
- 17:15They're hitting 264 on the year, 197 homers, 835 runs scored
- 17:21versus Milwaukee hitting two 49170 homers, 735 runs scored
- 17:26and last 10. Milwaukee is only hitting 2/28
- 17:30versus Arizona's hitting 310. So that's the data play.
- 17:34But here's the motivational and kind of the, I don't know,
- 17:37intangible play. Milwaukee just clinched a
- 17:40playoff spot last night. I got home from the Post Malone
- 17:43concert and I looked at Twitter. I was looking at some scores.
- 17:46Go on Twitter and I see Milwaukee celebrating, you know,
- 17:49with all the the champagne, the beers, partying in the
- 17:52clubhouse. When you clinch and you party
- 17:55and you get drunk. I'm 37, obviously these players
- 17:59are much younger than me, but I can tell you, you know, it's
- 18:02tough to rebound the next day. So not only do you have the fade
- 18:06Milwaukee, you know, drunk guys who partied hard last night
- 18:10because they won the Central, but also a let down spot.
- 18:13You clinch the the playoff spot. You know what?
- 18:15What really does it mean now? Now moving forward, you get the
- 18:20motivation for the D backs, though they haven't clinched
- 18:22anything. They currently own the third
- 18:24wild card spot and they lead Atlanta only by two games.
- 18:27And I'm looking right now, Atlanta's crushing Cincinnati,
- 18:29so that could be 1 1/2 games. So Milwaukee, they won, they won
- 18:34their division. They're going to the postseason.
- 18:36I think it's a let down spot to fade Milwaukee and play Arizona
- 18:40with the sharp line move, who again still has something to
- 18:42play for and secure a playoff spot.
- 18:44So I'm on Arizona. Can they do it again two days in
- 18:47a row for us? I'm hoping so let's go Snakes.
- 18:50I got Arizona at -115 Now over to the WNBA.
- 18:55This is the part of the pod where I know some people just
- 18:58stop listening, but hey, it's something to bet on.
- 19:00I think there's some value here. So if you want to play with me,
- 19:02you are more than welcome. It's also late night sweat.
- 19:0510:00 I'm looking at the Seattle Storm visiting the Phoenix
- 19:08Mercury now coming into it, both these teams have clinched the
- 19:12playoff spot. Seating is still up in the air,
- 19:15but the Mercury are 19 and 20. They're 10 and 9 at home.
- 19:18Seattle is 24 and 1510 and 9 on the road.
- 19:21Now, I've seen this line move a little bit toward the Mercury.
- 19:24You open this game around like -3 -, 2 1/2 for Storm.
- 19:28It's now down to 1 1/2 or even one that, you know, kind of has
- 19:33plays a role in my handicap of this game.
- 19:34So I'm going to go over here. I'm going to go over 163 1/2 now
- 19:41#1 is that this total has risen. It opened 161.
- 19:43It's up to 163 1/2. Tells me smart money hit the
- 19:46over. You also got to ask yourself,
- 19:47who's betting Storm Mercury on a big Thursday Night Football
- 19:50night? Not the public.
- 19:51So it tells me it's almost pure smart money hitting this over.
- 19:55The bet split from DraftKings, only 54% of bets, but 96% of
- 19:59money is on the over. Great low bets, higher dollars
- 20:02bet split. I mentioned that move toward the
- 20:04Mercury, but biggest factor there is they're a very short
- 20:07home dog. They're getting 1 1/2 at home.
- 20:09So maybe back and forth, maybe competitive, maybe overtime
- 20:12bodes well for an over. Both teams are decent
- 20:15offensively, Stormer averaging 83.1 points per game, Mercury is
- 20:19averaging 81.7. Mercury also give up the 4th
- 20:22most points, 84.6. Stormer #3 in terms of pace.
- 20:27So up and down the court score a lot.
- 20:29If you look at the last 10, Stormer averaging 82 a game,
- 20:32giving up 81. Mercury averaging 75, giving up
- 20:3584. And then here's a little cherry
- 20:38on top. My Rhythm model, my AI model
- 20:40here from Rhythm is predicting a final total of 172, and my Josh
- 20:46model is predicting a final total of 171.8.
- 20:50So again, if we get close to those Rhythm and Rhythm models,
- 20:54whether it's the AI model or the model you create by yourself,
- 20:57you're both around 170. We're getting over 163 1/2.
- 21:01So some value there hopefully. And also the community model
- 21:04polling everyone who has a Rhythm account and has a system
- 21:07play on this game. 96.6% are on the over.
- 21:11So add it all up here, guys. You know, I wouldn't force the
- 21:13WNBA play tonight because I agree it's, you know, not my
- 21:16favorite sport to bet on either. But when you have some data
- 21:20screaming to you, come play this, this system match, I'm
- 21:22going to give it a shot. So you're welcome to sweat with
- 21:24me or not up to you, but I'm going to go with storm Mercury
- 21:28over 163 1/2. Now.
- 21:32Just want to finish up the pod letting you know what I have in
- 21:35pocket for this weekend and a addition that I have for my NFL
- 21:39card. So in the NFLI.
- 21:41Still only have wife three now, but I had two coming into today.
- 21:46Official bets for me. One was Arizona plus three.
- 21:49I'm still liking that some books are getting down to 2 1/2, so
- 21:52that's a good sign. Also Atlanta plus 3 1/2 at home
- 21:56against the Kansas City Chiefs. That looks like it make it down
- 21:59to three, so I'm digging that one as well.
- 22:01I am monitoring Minnesota. I was holding out for a three.
- 22:06I don't know if I'm going to get it.
- 22:07Looks like 2 1/2 might be the best number, so I'll probably
- 22:10play Minnesota, but I'm still going to wait, see if I can get
- 22:13a better price. I'm still leaning New Orleans.
- 22:15They went from -1 up to -2 1/2 against Philly.
- 22:18They have some good system matches.
- 22:19Philly's on a short week, no A.J.
- 22:21Brown, so I'm still leaning New Orleans.
- 22:23Tennessee I'm still leaning on as gross as it is -1 1/2 up to
- 22:27-2 1/2. Might even go to three, even
- 22:28though everyone's been in Green Bay.
- 22:30You saw Jordan Love practice yesterday.
- 22:32At one point a line got back down to two.
- 22:34Now it's creeping back up to three.
- 22:35Tells me maybe that's kind of a, you know, a good sign if you're
- 22:38a Packers fan, but probably not going to play this weekend.
- 22:42So I'm still looking at Tennessee on the money line.
- 22:44But then my addition today is I'm going to hold my nose and go
- 22:49with the Miami Dolphins. Dolphins plus 4 1/2.
- 22:53Now, this one, you might think at first glance is what are you
- 22:56going to do? Take Miami with no Tua?
- 22:57You're going to bet on Skyler Thompson?
- 22:59What's wrong with you? Here's the thing, though.
- 23:02Seattle open this game -6 1/2. Everyone's betting Seattle,
- 23:06they're getting nearly 70% of bets, but this line is down to
- 23:09four and a half and you have a lot of shops juiced up like it
- 23:12make it down to four. So for whatever reason, a lot of
- 23:15sharps seem to like Miami here they're only getting around 30%
- 23:19of bets, but 50% of money. They got a lot of betting
- 23:22systems dogs, Rd. Dogs.
- 23:24You also have a dog low total total in this one is just 41
- 23:281/2. And then also a rest advantage.
- 23:32Big one, actually, Miami played on Thursday.
- 23:34Remember, Tua got hurt, lost to the Bills, but they last played
- 23:38Thursday and Seattle played on the East Coast on Sunday.
- 23:42So that's kind of a tough spot. Three day rest advantage in
- 23:45favor of Miami against Seattle. You're kind of buying low on
- 23:49Miami, just without Tua. And then I looked at my Rhythm
- 23:51system matches. Rhythm has a predicted spread of
- 23:551.3 and my Josh model is 1.5. So again, it looks gross.
- 24:00It feels gross, but sometimes those are the best plays in the
- 24:03NFL, as my old friend Michael Lombardi used to call him.
- 24:06Hazmat plays. So gross.
- 24:08They're radioactive. But I am going to add Miami plus
- 24:114 1/2 to my card here. In terms of college football.
- 24:17I just wanted to mention a couple ones.
- 24:19I did get Oklahoma plus 7 1/2. They're only getting 13% of bets
- 24:23#1 contrarian play. Some books are down to seven.
- 24:26You can find the hook. It's a top contrarian spot.
- 24:29I was able to get Michigan at +6.
- 24:32If you can't get a six and you're at 5 1/2, you could buy
- 24:34it up to six. Remember, everyone's been in USC
- 24:36line went to Michigan. I'm annoyed by this one.
- 24:39I'm like proud, but annoyed. Arizona State.
- 24:42I was getting greedy trying to see if I can get Arizona State
- 24:45back at 3 1/2. Well, guess what, they're down
- 24:47to 2 1/2. So they look pretty sharp
- 24:49against Texas Tech. But now you missed the key
- 24:51number, so I'm going to wait on that one.
- 24:53Still leaning hard. Arizona State, BYU, try to get
- 24:56A7 if you can, you can buy it up, you can wait.
- 24:59But everyone's been in Kansas State.
- 25:00This line's going to BYU. And another one that I'm proud
- 25:03of but kind of annoyed by is Arkansas, Arkansas, Auburn.
- 25:07Arkansas has got a sharp bets, but I think 60% bets, almost 80%
- 25:10money. They went from plus 4 1/2 down
- 25:13to plus three. Guess what?
- 25:14Today they're down to 2 1/2. So again, we're reading the
- 25:17market, right. But part of the betting isn't
- 25:20just reading the market and identifying a game.
- 25:22It's it's jumping and betting it actually actually betting it.
- 25:24I had a good number before it moves.
- 25:26So I'll put Arkansas and Arizona State in terms of the monitor,
- 25:31but let's wait and see if we can get back to a key number of
- 25:33three. So that about does it for
- 25:36episode 123 of the all systems Go sports betting podcast
- 25:39powered by rhythm. This is the part of the pod
- 25:41where I ask a favor of you. Could you please help me to grow

- 26:29system matches, bet splits, going contrarian, identifying
- 26:32sharp action, flat betting, not parlaying.

- 27:32I want to leave you with this, of course, as always.
- 27:34Have you signed up for a free seven day trial of Juice Reel
- 27:37and Rhythm? Well, they're two of my favorite
- 27:40sports betting apps. They help me win.
- 27:42They're gonna help you win if they're not already helping you
- 27:44win, but with Rhythm, they're AI backed models and predictions
- 27:47for both game bets and player props have really helped me in
- 27:51terms of cashing tickets and having my breakdown and kind of
- 27:55approach to the market. And then looking at what Rhythm
- 27:57is telling me. It gives me another box to check
- 28:00to feel more confident that I'm I'm on the sharp side.
- 28:02Also with Juice Reel, fantastic AI best bet picks.
- 28:06If you want to follow those. They come out at noon each day.
- 28:09I forgot to mention that Robo Jackson is on the Patriots with
- 28:12us plus 6 1/2. So that's good.
- 28:14But also the arbitrage bats, the sharp mush plays, all included
- 28:17when you sync up your sports books and become a Juice Reel
- 28:21member. But if you haven't done it yet,
- 28:23go sign up. We got to do it in this
- 28:24particular way. Guys.
- 28:25Make sure you go to the bio description of the pod.
- 28:30It'll say, for example, today I'll say something like an
- 28:32episode 123. Josh dishes out a 5 pack of
- 28:35sweats across NFL, college, blah, blah blah blah.
- 28:38Scroll down, pass that. There'll be a link for Juice
- 28:40Reel and a link for Rhythm. Click those custom links start
- 28:44your accounts and I I can't guarantee you winners because
- 28:47nothing is a guarantee in betting, but I can guarantee
- 28:50that you are going to be, I would say impressed and it's
- 28:53going to make you look at betting a little bit differently
- 28:55because you're leaning on AI driven data.
- 28:58So that about does it guys. Another pot here in the books,
- 29:01episode 123, whether I see you at the Borgata in Atlantic City,
- 29:05Twin River in Rhode Island, the Brooklyn, New Hampshire,
- 29:07Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun down in Connecticut at the Encore in
- 29:10Boston or Plain Ridge Park Casino or MGM Springfield.
- 29:13And my neck of the woods in Massachusetts are out in the
- 29:15desert where the true grinders get down, where Billy Walters
- 29:18sends his number runners, where the lowest juice possible is
- 29:20found at the South Point. So in sharp contrarian plays,
- 29:22jumping in the stadium swimming pool, when you catch a big
- 29:25ticket, you're going to walk up to me, you're going to show me
- 29:27AD backs ticket from yesterday and AD backs over 83 and half
- 29:31win total. You'll have to see it.
- 29:34But that about does it, guys. Of course, my parting words, as
- 29:38always, stay sharp, stay contrarian, bet against the
- 29:41public, place yourself on the side of the house, always be
- 29:43with the smart money, never against it.
- 29:45Will smart money when every time, of course not, because
- 29:48again, betting is hard. Nothing's guaranteed.
- 29:50But here's the thing, If we can consistently stay true to the
- 29:53model that with our head and not our heart, against the public,
- 29:56with the house, with the pros, flat bet, avoid parlays, get
- 29:59that CLV. If we can do that, we're going
- 30:01to be cool. We're going to be good long
- 30:03term. So anyway, guys, enjoy your
- 30:05Thursday. We'll be back at it tomorrow.
- 30:07You should be getting ready for a biting play as we look to
- 30:11start a new win streak, I should say.
- 30:13But I will see you all for a big Friday tomorrow for episode 123
- 30:17of the All Systems Go Sports Betting podcast powered by
- 30:20Rhythm. Good luck everybody.
- 30:22Have a great Thursday night.
