- 0:04Speaker 1: Ball systems going clear the liftop.
- 0:36Speaker 2: What's up everyone, Tyler Tambaline here aka Totag and Tambo
- 0:39Speaker 2: back for another edition of the PGA version of Leverage Lane.
- 0:43Speaker 3: We did this through NFL.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I know I'm starting it off that way, but my
- 0:46Speaker 2: man Alex Blickle here with me as always. But we
- 0:48Speaker 2: did do this during football, and I know with the
- 0:50Speaker 2: Super Bowl just wrapping up, we'll definitely have some folks
- 0:53Speaker 2: that are just joining us for the first time this week,
- 0:55Speaker 2: so welcome in the golf season may be officially starting
- 0:58Speaker 2: for some now. Even with the waste management last week.
- 1:00Speaker 2: We do have the Pebble Beach at and t Pebble
- 1:03Speaker 2: Beach Pro Am this week. It is a signature event,
- 1:05Speaker 2: a smaller field. Scottie Scheffler is here and DraftKings is
- 1:08Speaker 2: running no Scheffler contests. I do want to clearly hear
- 1:11Speaker 2: quickly though, Alex before I bring you in. That was
- 1:13Speaker 2: most certainly if people couldn't catch on to it, a
- 1:15Speaker 2: very not serious joke. When I posted that out.
- 1:18Speaker 3: People like to.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Tag and Tamba loves this thing. He got it approved
- 1:21Speaker 2: and he's you know, he must be loving this like
- 1:22Speaker 2: I don't. Nobody was asking for that, and I don't
- 1:25Speaker 2: know why that would actually be a thing in DFS,
- 1:27Speaker 2: but I'll bring you in my friend.
- 1:28Speaker 3: How you doing.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Yeah, very weird to see that. I'm glad that they
- 1:33Speaker 4: didn't interrupt any of the actual contests and we've got
- 1:36Speaker 4: all the you know, the well sized contests. So uh yeah,
- 1:39Speaker 4: I would like to see that market disappear, that that
- 1:42Speaker 4: contest type disappear. But as long as it doesn't interfere
- 1:45Speaker 4: with what we're what we're doing on a week to
- 1:46Speaker 4: week basis, then they can do whatever they want with it.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say if if people want to give
- 1:50Speaker 3: me that credit.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Sweet, I don't think I have that kind of pull,
- 1:52Speaker 2: but I actually would, uh hot take. I don't think
- 1:55Speaker 2: we'll ever see that again after this week. It doesn't
- 1:57Speaker 2: look like it's gonna fill. I think it's a bit
- 1:58Speaker 2: ridiculous from a DFS respective. I get for betting markets
- 2:01Speaker 2: and stuff, people have a lot to talk about, but
- 2:03Speaker 2: it's part of the puzzle and what we do. Like
- 2:04Speaker 2: your original comment when I posted the joke was that
- 2:06Speaker 2: I kind of like it. If they keep pricing it correctly,
- 2:09Speaker 2: it makes this more a puzzle, whether people like it
- 2:11Speaker 2: or not.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Again, some of you here for the first time.
- 2:13Speaker 2: There's we're trying to make a new spin to it
- 2:15Speaker 2: each week, but we definitely will have to Scotty or
- 2:17Speaker 2: not the Scotty conversation. Again, it's just part of the
- 2:19Speaker 2: game that we play right now, and it matters. Imagine
- 2:21Speaker 2: back in the day. It's not even putting them in
- 2:23Speaker 2: the same class right now, just noting it. But if
- 2:25Speaker 2: Tiger Woods was you know, if we were doing this
- 2:27Speaker 2: when Tiger Woods was on his run back, then we
- 2:29Speaker 2: would have to have those conversations is it VJ Singh
- 2:32Speaker 2: and Phil or is it Tiger and what are these
- 2:34Speaker 2: conversations gonna be. Well, now it's a little bit different
- 2:36Speaker 2: with Scotty, but I'll let you jump in. Obviously, I
- 2:37Speaker 2: see you got something there.
- 2:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's it's not just about, you know,
- 2:41Speaker 4: whether we want to play Scotty or not. Having this
- 2:43Speaker 4: Scotty discussion is really important for ownership because if you
- 2:46Speaker 4: can't get Scotty right, you can't get Rory, Tommy Hovelin,
- 2:49Speaker 4: seawou Hideki right. You're just gonna get all of them
- 2:52Speaker 4: wrong if you're wrong about Scotty, And if you're wrong
- 2:54Speaker 4: about Scotty, you're also going to be wrong about Kiddi
- 2:56Speaker 4: Yama and Me and Lee and Connors and Stevens and McCarty,
- 2:59Speaker 4: like all the guys get ownership down there as well.
- 3:01Speaker 4: So it's a really important conversation to have because it
- 3:04Speaker 4: literally shapes the entire slate when you start with what
- 3:07Speaker 4: do we do with Scotty and what is everybody else
- 3:09Speaker 4: going to do with Scotty?
- 3:10Speaker 2: Certainly, and if you're just joining us for the first time,
- 3:12Speaker 2: if you're back again, we appreciate you.
- 3:13Speaker 3: See a lot of folks in the chat.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I just brought some of the content, some of the
- 3:16Speaker 2: comments up and we got our guy who does our content,
- 3:19Speaker 2: Boots on the ground. Matt Gannon was in there, so
- 3:21Speaker 2: he's out at Pebble right now. He almost blew away yesterday.
- 3:24Speaker 2: We got to see that video of him sort of
- 3:25Speaker 2: floating away. He was falling around with Rory right up
- 3:27Speaker 2: close to him. I saw some stuff from Rory on
- 3:30Speaker 2: X as well. I saw Rory make an eagle on
- 3:32Speaker 2: the final hole there or whatever, and that.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Was pretty cool. But just noting.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And if you're just joining us, we are going to
- 3:36Speaker 2: break down a little bit of a recap from last week.
- 3:38Speaker 2: It's an edutainment show. We're trying to bring you something
- 3:41Speaker 2: that's a little bit more evergreen, but then take the
- 3:43Speaker 2: review and make it application. So review application very important
- 3:47Speaker 2: in something like DFS where you can learn a little
- 3:49Speaker 2: bit from last time and then be able to apply
- 3:51Speaker 2: it moving forward.
- 3:51Speaker 3: But we are going to focus directly on this slate.
- 3:54Speaker 2: When we get there, we'll talk about what the chalk
- 3:55Speaker 2: build looks like for the week, The Scotty conversation very
- 3:58Speaker 2: important around that.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Then we'll talk about how.
- 4:00Speaker 2: You can leverage what others are doing or what looks
- 4:03Speaker 2: like the chalk build this week, and then at the
- 4:05Speaker 2: end we'll have our leverage lane from a DFS perspective
- 4:07Speaker 2: of what we're doing on a single entry this week.
- 4:10Speaker 3: It's a more single entry GPP focus. We do have
- 4:13Speaker 3: a one and done segment at the end.
- 4:15Speaker 2: We also have a betting breakdown, so that's gonna happen
- 4:18Speaker 2: at the end as well.
- 4:18Speaker 3: But before I forget from last week, Alex, we don't
- 4:20Speaker 3: have one for this week.
- 4:21Speaker 2: It was an awesome comment from Aaron last week that
- 4:23Speaker 2: we brought up and we spend so much time on
- 4:25Speaker 2: and then forgot to remind people. So three things give
- 4:27Speaker 2: us a thumbs up. If you're watching on mobile, don't
- 4:31Speaker 2: hit the heart. You have to press the little X
- 4:32Speaker 2: on the chat box just for a second, hit the
- 4:34Speaker 2: thumbs up, then let the chat box pop back up.
- 4:37Speaker 3: If you're on desktop, it's right there. You can't miss it.
- 4:38Speaker 3: It's a thumbs up down below.

- 4:44Speaker 2: that we do over here at ship It. And then lastly,
- 4:47Speaker 2: all you right now are watching this live, but those
- 4:49Speaker 2: watching it on playback or however you want to call it,
- 4:51Speaker 2: you know, watching it later on replay leave a comment
- 4:55Speaker 2: and let us know down below.
- 4:56Speaker 3: You can't do it all you're live, but later you can.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Let us know in the comments below what or just
- 5:00Speaker 2: some thought provoking comment, whether it was something that was
- 5:02Speaker 2: interesting that you took away, or if you have a
- 5:04Speaker 2: question for future that you.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Want us to know.
- 5:07Speaker 2: What we're gonna continue doing and again starting next week
- 5:09Speaker 2: is making sure to pull those comments up. And we're
- 5:11Speaker 2: each gonna give you guys a free week to ship
- 5:13Speaker 2: a nation. And I think Alex you said you're gonna
- 5:15Speaker 2: give a free week as well. Is that correct?
- 5:17Speaker 4: That is correct? Yeah, to my discord.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, that's awesome. So shout out to everybody that
- 5:21Speaker 3: joined us quick recap just on last week's stuff, I
- 5:24Speaker 3: will say the biggest takeaway, man, the pun gets used
- 5:28Speaker 3: and over used, but the pun is overblown. The weather
- 5:31Speaker 3: conversation would not go away. It was painful.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I said, I honestly wish we could get weather advantage.
- 5:35Speaker 2: I wish we could get true weather advantage slates. We
- 5:38Speaker 2: said last week, we didn't think it was a true
- 5:40Speaker 2: weather advantage slate, like the projections, the ownership if you
- 5:42Speaker 2: have good if you have good ones, we'll still reflect
- 5:44Speaker 2: that stuff. We're very high on mentioning that, like you
- 5:46Speaker 2: don't need to go all in on this, but you
- 5:48Speaker 2: pretty much need like British open back in the day,
- 5:51Speaker 2: like Mickelson's Senson conditions to like go all in on it.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:55Speaker 2: I think a lot of people get confused with that
- 5:57Speaker 2: kind of thing. And I said, I wish we could
- 5:58Speaker 2: have true weather edge slate with no discord weather talk.
- 6:02Speaker 2: It was literally painful. It was like being at a
- 6:04Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner table with politics being talked about all around,
- 6:07Speaker 2: everybody on different sides.
- 6:09Speaker 3: It just turns into battle.
- 6:11Speaker 2: That's literally the definition of leverage lane is pick your
- 6:14Speaker 2: lane going it and if it works, great, If it doesn't,
- 6:17Speaker 2: learn from me to move on. But like you did
- 6:19Speaker 2: not have to be all in on the weather last week,
- 6:21Speaker 2: It was not the case whatsoever.
- 6:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought the part of the discussion that bothers
- 6:26Speaker 4: me both before and after is just like the certainty
- 6:30Speaker 4: with which people talk about it, and the certainty with
- 6:33Speaker 4: which people then talk in hindsight about Oh, anyone who's
- 6:36Speaker 4: saying there was going to be a weather edge was
- 6:37Speaker 4: dead wrong, and anyone who said there wasn't was obviously correct.
- 6:40Speaker 4: And you know, in my discord, like I think what
- 6:42Speaker 4: I wrote was there was about a fifty percent chance
- 6:45Speaker 4: of no wave advantage, about a thirty percent chance that
- 6:48Speaker 4: it was going to be like half a stroke to
- 6:50Speaker 4: a stroke, and then there was you know, a fifteen
- 6:52Speaker 4: to twenty percent, fifteen to twenty percent chance that it
- 6:55Speaker 4: was going to be a huge advantage that you just
- 6:57Speaker 4: couldn't overcome if you didn't have the wavestack. And so
- 7:00Speaker 4: so I ended up actually going against the wave edge,
- 7:04Speaker 4: and I think I played I think I played four
- 7:06Speaker 4: guys who were in the quote unquote bad wave. And
- 7:09Speaker 4: it wasn't about like searching for correlation. It was just, hey,
- 7:12Speaker 4: you know what, I think the field has moved so
- 7:15Speaker 4: heavily in favor of this potential wave advantage that now,
- 7:19Speaker 4: like all of the best plays in this other wave
- 7:21Speaker 4: that I loved coming into the week and then saw
- 7:23Speaker 4: that they were going to be fifteen to twenty percent owned,
- 7:26Speaker 4: now they're going to be eight percent or eleven percent,
- 7:28Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're among the most underround
- 7:31Speaker 4: plays on the slate. And so like Hoyguard Nikolai Hoygard
- 7:35Speaker 4: got her up to both of those guys like that
- 7:38Speaker 4: was my core because all of a sudden they were
- 7:41Speaker 4: going to be really low on instead of the chalk
- 7:43Speaker 4: that they were expected to be before people started to
- 7:45Speaker 4: factor in the weather. So basically just said, I think
- 7:48Speaker 4: people are over overestimating the likelihood of the wave advantage,
- 7:52Speaker 4: and that to me is what we should be doing
- 7:54Speaker 4: with the weather. It's always a probability question. What is
- 7:57Speaker 4: the probability it shows up? What is the problem ability
- 8:00Speaker 4: that it's super impactful if it does show up, and
- 8:02Speaker 4: just use all of that and you know, relate it
- 8:04Speaker 4: to ownership. So it's the part that bothers me, as
- 8:08Speaker 4: I said, is just the certainty with which people talked
- 8:09Speaker 4: about it. And you know, oh, anybody who thought there
- 8:11Speaker 4: was going to be a wave edge was an idiot
- 8:13Speaker 4: and they're using bad weather sources. No, it's those weather
- 8:17Speaker 4: sources were telling us that it was uncertain. They were
- 8:19Speaker 4: telling us that they were that you know, it was
- 8:21Speaker 4: a wide range of outcomes and we should lean into
- 8:23Speaker 4: that uncertainty and try to harness it the way the
- 8:25Speaker 4: best we can.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah, and one thing to know too, just of that,
- 8:27Speaker 2: Like we talked about this as well, like if I
- 8:28Speaker 2: was already for me, it's like, what do you like
- 8:31Speaker 2: as well? It's the same reason when we sometimes we
- 8:32Speaker 2: talk about the Scotty stuff, like if you have thirty
- 8:35Speaker 2: guys down low that you're really interested in and you
- 8:37Speaker 2: like Scotty, well you should try and put that together.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I'm certain there's a version that you can find of it.
- 8:42Speaker 2: If you were already for me last week, like I
- 8:43Speaker 2: was high on Xander, clearly did not work out.
- 8:45Speaker 3: We take the l's move on like it is what
- 8:47Speaker 3: it is. But I'm saying I had.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Reasoning to it, which everybody loved before the tournament started,
- 8:51Speaker 2: and then when it happens, it's like, oh, that was
- 8:53Speaker 2: such a terrible thing.
- 8:54Speaker 3: It's again, we're playing a game.
- 8:55Speaker 2: So as my friend Title likes to say, new dad Title,
- 8:58Speaker 2: congrats to my man Title by the way, but just
- 9:00Speaker 2: noting he says, not how often you're right, it's how
- 9:02Speaker 2: much you win when you are right. We're playing for that,
- 9:04Speaker 2: you know, to our guy rest in peace, DJ big
- 9:06Speaker 2: Guy in the sky. Like people keep forgetting this. I
- 9:09Speaker 2: ham it in my discord over at shriber Nation last week.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We all go through it each week, and you do
- 9:12Speaker 2: it in your discord, we do it in ours. It's
- 9:15Speaker 2: like people might have forgot about spike weeks. Like you're
- 9:17Speaker 2: playing thirty to forty weeks of golf, not just slates,
- 9:21Speaker 2: because some people are playing three to five slates a
- 9:23Speaker 2: week with Showdown included. So you're playing all these slates,
- 9:27Speaker 2: you're gonna spike three to four times. And that's just
- 9:29Speaker 2: how often can you spike and how much can it
- 9:31Speaker 2: be worth when you do? You better get comfortable losing.
- 9:33Speaker 2: The All Star baseball players that go out hit three hundred,
- 9:36Speaker 2: well seventy percent of the time, it's not looking good.
- 9:38Speaker 2: They can have five strikeout games. Oh Tani went over
- 9:41Speaker 2: five one game. It's like, oh, I see a loser. No,
- 9:43Speaker 2: that's how it goes sometimes, and he'll come back and
- 9:45Speaker 2: smash street home runs on you another game.
- 9:47Speaker 3: So got to remember that too.
- 9:48Speaker 2: But you should be leaning into if you liked if
- 9:50Speaker 2: you weren't on Scottie and you were in on Zander
- 9:53Speaker 2: and you still like the guys down low that were
- 9:54Speaker 2: in the afternoon wave and you already had five pm guys.
- 9:57Speaker 2: You don't just got to do it because of the weather.
- 9:59Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, I'm already in on five pm guys,
- 10:01Speaker 2: and I know we'll talk about it this week. That's
- 10:02Speaker 2: why I'm bringing it up. Because we've got the Spyglass
- 10:05Speaker 2: and Pebble Beach. And when you think back to like
- 10:07Speaker 2: my North Course South Course the week before, it didn't
- 10:10Speaker 2: win all the money, but it was pretty solid for me.
- 10:13Speaker 2: You got a nice big mega ticket all that stuff,
- 10:15Speaker 2: just going all in on the North Course because I
- 10:16Speaker 2: could now play six guys that people liked on that course.
- 10:20Speaker 2: But it's like you always say, it's not just who
- 10:21Speaker 2: you play, it's who you don't play. It alleviated me
- 10:24Speaker 2: from some of those busts on the other side of that.
- 10:26Speaker 2: You know, that course set up so I don't you
- 10:28Speaker 2: want to elaborate any more on that, but I just
- 10:30Speaker 2: sort of sort of thought that was another point to
- 10:31Speaker 2: bring up heading into this week, and then what will
- 10:33Speaker 2: kind of segue there anyway.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think it's a perk segue into the
- 10:38Speaker 4: weather that we have this week, because once again it
- 10:40Speaker 4: does look a little bit uncertain, But if we had
- 10:43Speaker 4: to guess right now, it looks fairly clear that the
- 10:46Speaker 4: winniest conditions of the first two days are going to
- 10:49Speaker 4: be Friday afternoon. Now it also matters less because on
- 10:53Speaker 4: Friday afternoon, no one's battling to make the cut. So
- 10:56Speaker 4: does it really matter? Probably not, But there's there's probably
- 11:02Speaker 4: over the first two days there might be like half
- 11:03Speaker 4: a stroke to a full stroke advantage for players who
- 11:06Speaker 4: start on pebble because pebble historically has been much more
- 11:10Speaker 4: affected by wind. Now it's more exposed on the cliff sides.
- 11:14Speaker 4: But I think it's also just a bit about like
- 11:16Speaker 4: the actual design of the golf course. You know, there's
- 11:19Speaker 4: the margin. When it becomes difficult, it's taking you into
- 11:23Speaker 4: lots of bogies and potential double bogies with penalty strokes,
- 11:27Speaker 4: and when it's calm, it's birdihle after birdie hole, and
- 11:30Speaker 4: so the scoring variants I think is just higher on pebble,
- 11:32Speaker 4: and that's why historically we've seen it get more affected
- 11:35Speaker 4: by wind. So I would like my guys to play
- 11:38Speaker 4: as long as the rest of the field isn't on
- 11:41Speaker 4: this as well, and we get you know, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 4: we don't get the same type of ownership movement on
- 11:45Speaker 4: other players that we did last week. If all else
- 11:48Speaker 4: is equal, I would like my guys to play pebble
- 11:51Speaker 4: in the calmer conditions and then the more protected by
- 11:54Speaker 4: trees spyglass in the wind your conditions on Friday. Now, again,
- 11:59Speaker 4: it's not as impactful as it would have been if
- 12:01Speaker 4: there was a cut after two days, because then you
- 12:03Speaker 4: know that weather edge can be the difference between six
- 12:06Speaker 4: for six and four for six. Now everyone's gonna play
- 12:08Speaker 4: the weekend, but maybe you just get a little bit
- 12:10Speaker 4: of a head start. So it's not a huge thing,
- 12:12Speaker 4: but it is something to at least discuss.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Yeah, something to think about two when you're out there building,
- 12:16Speaker 2: and we'll look at it when we get to sort
- 12:17Speaker 2: of how it sets up. But again, the other thing
- 12:19Speaker 2: with a signature event, there's multiple different angles to approach
- 12:22Speaker 2: it from. I know some people want to talk a
- 12:23Speaker 2: little strategy on that type of stuff. I mean in
- 12:26Speaker 2: the Scotty conversation's gonna be a big one. But also
- 12:28Speaker 2: the tea times not as spread out like this is
- 12:30Speaker 2: more because of a course rotation than it is like
- 12:32Speaker 2: an AMPM type of thing, where it's like it could
- 12:35Speaker 2: be four hours apart and on full morning right off
- 12:38Speaker 2: the bat versus full afternoon type of thing. It's again,
- 12:40Speaker 2: it's not as spread apart because it's just the what
- 12:43Speaker 2: is like a two two and.
- 12:44Speaker 3: A half hour window or something like that.
- 12:45Speaker 2: It's just not as drastic as what we usually see.
- 12:47Speaker 2: All right, we'll get into more in just a second.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I do want to bring this up. I got a
- 12:51Speaker 2: note at alex we're gonna be talking about the one
- 12:54Speaker 2: and done segment, and so I gotta bring this up.
- 12:57Speaker 3: This is pretty insane.
- 12:58Speaker 2: It could be like the most massive overlay we've seen ever,
- 13:01Speaker 2: or maybe at least four one second.
- 13:03Speaker 3: I got it there a while.
- 13:05Speaker 2: But splash Sports, you go to splash sports dot com
- 13:08Speaker 2: if you want to use promo code ship at a
- 13:09Speaker 2: referral code ship that you can.
- 13:11Speaker 3: But it's not really about that.
- 13:12Speaker 2: This is the biggest overlay opportunity I've seen in quite
- 13:15Speaker 2: some time. We are less than twenty four hours until
- 13:18Speaker 2: Locke and there is less than twenty four percent when
- 13:21Speaker 2: it opened this morning. My joke was gonna be there's less.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I think we're just over now, but it's there was
- 13:25Speaker 2: less than twenty four percent into the tournament. So this
- 13:27Speaker 2: is a one hundred dollars one and done that they
- 13:30Speaker 2: put on. It is a one hundred and fifty thousand dollars guaranteed.
- 13:34Speaker 2: There's some bonus prizes, a ton eligibility there, but twenty
- 13:37Speaker 2: thousand to first twenty three hundred and up for top ten.
- 13:40Speaker 3: It's like a six hundred dollar mid cash. A little
- 13:42Speaker 3: less of the field gets paid.
- 13:44Speaker 2: But we didn't do all Like there's already one of
- 13:45Speaker 2: dons that people are in that have segments and balanced everything.
- 13:49Speaker 2: The structure is pretty balanced from one hundred and fifty K,
- 13:51Speaker 2: twenty K and two K.
- 13:53Speaker 3: But we also are ship at Nation. We're playing to
- 13:55Speaker 3: win it.
- 13:56Speaker 2: It's not like split it or balance it nation like
- 13:59Speaker 2: what we're trying to get an tournament top prize up there,
- 14:01Speaker 2: kind of like what we did with ship at Games,
- 14:02Speaker 2: where not everybody's gonna be able to win, but whoever
- 14:04Speaker 2: does win is gonna get a nice prize one hundred bucks.
- 14:07Speaker 3: To get into this, we'll cover one and done at
- 14:10Speaker 3: the end.
- 14:10Speaker 2: From like the full year perspective, this a little bit
- 14:13Speaker 2: different starting at pebble, but we want to sort of
- 14:15Speaker 2: wait the super Bowl to wrap up in all them
- 14:16Speaker 2: but the biggest thing currently four hundred and twenty three
- 14:19Speaker 2: entries out of sixteen sixty seven. So you got a
- 14:23Speaker 2: you know, plenty of time, but only less than a
- 14:25Speaker 2: day basically to get into this thing.
- 14:27Speaker 3: You'll just bring it up from there. Anything else you
- 14:29Speaker 3: want to touch on for this week before we get.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Into it, No, I will definitely be playing that. That's
- 14:34Speaker 4: that's quite the overlay opportunity.
- 14:35Speaker 3: So love that massive for sure, So check that out
- 14:38Speaker 3: spots sports dot com.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Now typically we go in, I don't if you want
- 14:40Speaker 2: to recap anything else, but I'd like to talk about
- 14:42Speaker 2: the weather for this week.
- 14:44Speaker 3: I think that's you know, you did just chat on
- 14:45Speaker 3: it a little bit. I'm not sure if you want
- 14:46Speaker 3: to bring up windy and show that off, and then
- 14:48Speaker 3: I want to lean sort of right.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Into the Scotty conversation. I think and then the chalk
- 14:52Speaker 2: build from there.
- 14:53Speaker 3: From there, But is there is there anything else from
- 14:54Speaker 3: a course fit perspective that you want to talk about
- 14:56Speaker 3: or just this event as a whole.
- 14:58Speaker 4: Yeah, this course fit model is honestly a little bit annoying.
- 15:02Speaker 4: It's every single aspect of golf driving, distance, driving accuracy, approach,
- 15:08Speaker 4: playing around the green, play are less predictive than usual
- 15:11Speaker 4: here except for putting. Putting is a little bit more
- 15:14Speaker 4: predictive than usual. So what does this mean? Well, it
- 15:17Speaker 4: means that when we look at our projections over at
- 15:19Speaker 4: FT and fantasy that guys who are popping are like
- 15:22Speaker 4: Harry Hall, Danny McCarthy. I don't want those guys to pop.
- 15:26Speaker 4: And one of the reasons why I don't want those
- 15:28Speaker 4: guys to pop is because my intuition says, you can't
- 15:30Speaker 4: win a golf tournament. You can't contend in a golf
- 15:32Speaker 4: tournament on putting alone. You need more skills than that.
- 15:35Speaker 4: And so one thing I did also do this week
- 15:38Speaker 4: is I checked, Okay. You know, the courset model essentially says,
- 15:41Speaker 4: on average, how does each skill set translate into success?
- 15:45Speaker 4: But what I did beyond that was say, okay, but
- 15:47Speaker 4: is there are there any other skill sets that are
- 15:50Speaker 4: required here to help give you like a top ten
- 15:53Speaker 4: upside for the week. And the answer actually is yes,
- 15:57Speaker 4: iron play and around the green play are also very
- 15:59Speaker 4: much required to get that kind of upside. So that
- 16:02Speaker 4: made me feel better. That kind of takes you know,
- 16:03Speaker 4: Harry Hall a little bit more out of the equation.
- 16:05Speaker 4: His his iron plays atrociously. He does have a really
- 16:08Speaker 4: good short game, so we shouldn't be shocked if he contends. Uh,
- 16:11Speaker 4: but you know, it takes Danny a little bit out
- 16:13Speaker 4: because the iron play isn't there for him. It makes
- 16:16Speaker 4: minue Lee a tougher sell because the iron play is
- 16:19Speaker 4: I think minwu Ly's iron play is our worst projected
- 16:23Speaker 4: skill in the entire week, like the lowest you know
- 16:27Speaker 4: number of any skill for any player in this field.
- 16:32Speaker 4: So we do at least have that aspect of it.
- 16:35Speaker 4: But like driving, just both aspects of it, distance and
- 16:38Speaker 4: accuracy are a lot less predictive here than usual, so
- 16:41Speaker 4: we're kind of looking for those guys who okay, well,
- 16:43Speaker 4: who benefits from that skill being less predictive. And that
- 16:49Speaker 4: doesn't mean the great drivers can't do well here. We
- 16:51Speaker 4: just saw Rory last year, you know, Pat and I
- 16:53Speaker 4: talked about this a lot, like Rory had a ninety
- 16:55Speaker 4: eighth percentile outcome with the driver. For him, not just
- 16:58Speaker 4: for anybody, but for him, that was an un believable week.
- 17:01Speaker 4: And when an elite player is on their game at
- 17:04Speaker 4: that level, it doesn't matter what the course fit model says,
- 17:07Speaker 4: that skill is going to be a separator. So you know,
- 17:11Speaker 4: that's that's how Rory won last year. But it's also
- 17:14Speaker 4: true that Rory played well beyond the driver, and you know,
- 17:17Speaker 4: he went and then won the Players Championship when the
- 17:19Speaker 4: driver wasn't even working. So he was very clearly a
- 17:22Speaker 4: super complete player at that time last year and might
- 17:26Speaker 4: still be at this time. We'll see what he's got
- 17:28Speaker 4: at the start of the season. But yeah, from a
- 17:30Speaker 4: course fit perspective, it's just it's not as great as
- 17:33Speaker 4: last week, where we could lean into, you know, the
- 17:35Speaker 4: skill set that we already liked to lean into a
- 17:37Speaker 4: driver where accuracy and distance we're both more predictive last week.
- 17:41Speaker 4: It's less predictive this week. And I think the main
- 17:43Speaker 4: takeaway there is it's it's almost a little bit less
- 17:47Speaker 4: to me about Okay, who does that point to, and
- 17:50Speaker 4: a little more about what it just means for the
- 17:53Speaker 4: general field this week, which is it's a little bit
- 17:55Speaker 4: harder to predict who's going to do well. There's a
- 17:57Speaker 4: little bit more variance and volatility this week, and maybe
- 18:00Speaker 4: that means we get a little bit more contrarian or
- 18:02Speaker 4: we try a little bit harder to find the super
- 18:05Speaker 4: low bowned guys because it's kind of anybody's ballgame this week.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to bring that up. Actually a scooter says,
- 18:11Speaker 2: helped me not suck at No Cut events. This guy
- 18:13Speaker 2: this week, guys on he didn't suck last week. I
- 18:15Speaker 2: saw some pretty big tickets you posted in our discord
- 18:17Speaker 2: on the betting side of things and everything else to
- 18:19Speaker 2: go with it. But the point being too you said
- 18:20Speaker 2: it like if the course fit model is showing that
- 18:22Speaker 2: there's a little bit more variants already, you have a
- 18:25Speaker 2: signature event, which, well, this is something that I think
- 18:28Speaker 2: people overlook as well. All field size is way smaller,
- 18:31Speaker 2: Like giddy up, let's go, we got a way smaller field.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all way better players.
- 18:34Speaker 2: It's the best versus when you have one hundred and
- 18:36Speaker 2: fifty six you can like write off sixty of them
- 18:38Speaker 2: instantly probably and just say I'll just start there. And
- 18:40Speaker 2: that's why DraftKings does just throw one hundred guys into
- 18:43Speaker 2: the six k range on a random week.
- 18:44Speaker 3: It's like, uh, you.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Know, like eighty of these guys are useless to you,
- 18:47Speaker 2: but we'll just put them down there and then you
- 18:49Speaker 2: figure out the top of the board. Here there is
- 18:51Speaker 2: conversations to be had, So, like you said, embracing some
- 18:53Speaker 2: of that variants definitely not victory lapping anything on Thursday, Friday,
- 18:58Speaker 2: or even really Saturday. To be honest, when you got
- 19:00Speaker 2: a no cut, shit change is quick. So if you're
- 19:02Speaker 2: way behind on Thursday, I can tell you from experience
- 19:05Speaker 2: it means nothing. If you're way up there on Thursday,
- 19:07Speaker 2: I can also tell you it means nothing. So just
- 19:10Speaker 2: to give you guys a heads up, hopefully that makes
- 19:11Speaker 2: you feel a little bit better about it. It's yeah,
- 19:13Speaker 2: play your showdown contests. We've got some course rotation stuff,
- 19:17Speaker 2: you know. I think you can look at it from
- 19:18Speaker 2: that perspective. But the one thing I said about that,
- 19:21Speaker 2: you know, over in the discord today at ship it was,
- 19:23Speaker 2: you know, get everyone getting fired up for round one
- 19:25Speaker 2: showdown with like like spyglass pebble stuff. It's like the
- 19:29Speaker 2: round one is the toughest because you don't have anything
- 19:31Speaker 2: on the golfers yet, no stats, if any non casual. Again,
- 19:34Speaker 2: it's the most non casual event, like even a lot
- 19:37Speaker 2: of like the diehards don't even play round one, but
- 19:39Speaker 2: they'll get in on round one because of the way
- 19:41Speaker 2: it is. To me, it's like the least it's less
- 19:44Speaker 2: than you think, is what I'm trying to say for
- 19:45Speaker 2: like what your advantage would be. But I do think
- 19:47Speaker 2: that's something to think about.
- 19:48Speaker 4: So yeah, I've got data on that. Since since the
- 19:54Speaker 4: change to signature event status, these courses have played very
- 19:59Speaker 4: similar similarly in difficulty, and the biggest thing is Pebble
- 20:04Speaker 4: averages more birdies per round, but it also averages more
- 20:06Speaker 4: bogies per round, so you're you're getting a higher variance
- 20:11Speaker 4: of scoring. I think at Pebble is a pretty clear
- 20:14Speaker 4: way to view it. And and so especially in the
- 20:16Speaker 4: calmer days, I'm probably gonna go six Pebble zero spyglass.
- 20:21Speaker 4: If we do get the windy er Friday, I might
- 20:25Speaker 4: totally reverse that. I might only you know, get a
- 20:28Speaker 4: few spyglass guys. I'm not sure exactly how I'd handle it,
- 20:30Speaker 4: But if it's calm, I will be going six pebble.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess a couple quick questions that popped up.
- 20:37Speaker 2: We like to get these relic We said, if you
- 20:38Speaker 2: guys have other questions and you're watching this on playback
- 20:41Speaker 2: or replay, make sure to put them in the comments
- 20:44Speaker 2: for us, or just any thought provoking thoughts, like I
- 20:46Speaker 2: heard you say this and I thought it was really interesting.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Because this we're looking at all of those.
- 20:49Speaker 2: We can't respond to them all, but I think the
- 20:50Speaker 2: main thing is we'll be bringing up at least one
- 20:52Speaker 2: and picking a winner each week, so you know, put
- 20:55Speaker 2: your comment in after what's what's your thoughts on this?
- 20:57Speaker 3: Real quick course history in general versus.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Taking in accounts not taking it so much too into
- 21:02Speaker 2: account this week with it being a no cut event, I.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Don't ever take course history into account, so it doesn't
- 21:08Speaker 4: change for me and.
- 21:09Speaker 2: I can already know why we have such a good
- 21:11Speaker 2: chemistry of our friends, because yeah, that's why I said
- 21:14Speaker 2: to somebody before, like course history.
- 21:15Speaker 4: And let me elaborate on that on that for a second.
- 21:18Speaker 4: By the way, there's so course history is always going
- 21:22Speaker 4: to be something that people look at, and the reason
- 21:23Speaker 4: why it's always going to be something that people look
- 21:25Speaker 4: at is because there is some signal there. My opinion
- 21:28Speaker 4: is that the signal that exists in course history is
- 21:31Speaker 4: course fit signal. At FTN, we have a course fit model.
- 21:34Speaker 4: We are directly measuring course fit in a very analytically
- 21:39Speaker 4: sound and robust way. I don't need to then go
- 21:41Speaker 4: look at course history to tell me about the fit.
- 21:44Speaker 4: I already have the fit for each player. Course history
- 21:46Speaker 4: is not telling me anything that the course fit model
- 21:49Speaker 4: is not telling me. So I don't want to look
- 21:51Speaker 4: at that because at that point, all I'm looking at
- 21:53Speaker 4: is noise, and I can be, you know, steered in
- 21:55Speaker 4: the wrong direction if you don't have access to a
- 21:57Speaker 4: course fit model, and like everyone at you know, everyone
- 22:00Speaker 4: Chip it has course fit stuff. I know you guys
- 22:02Speaker 4: do course fit stuff as well. If you have access
- 22:05Speaker 4: to course fit stuff, whether it's ours at FTN, yours,
- 22:08Speaker 4: even data Golf's like, you shouldn't be looking at course history.
- 22:11Speaker 4: It's not telling you anything beyond the fit analysis that's
- 22:13Speaker 4: already being done. So you're just looking at noise, and
- 22:17Speaker 4: you're looking at tiny samples in a sport where sample
- 22:20Speaker 4: size means everything. So it's just I think again, like
- 22:25Speaker 4: if you know, I think you mentioned it, like your
- 22:28Speaker 4: dad does the one and done. My dad does the
- 22:30Speaker 4: one and done. My dad does not do any analysis.
- 22:34Speaker 4: It makes sense for him to do a quick Google
- 22:36Speaker 4: search of how the player that he's picking has done
- 22:38Speaker 4: at the course because it's the only course fit signal
- 22:41Speaker 4: that he's going to get. If you have better course
- 22:43Speaker 4: fit signal than the course history, you should not be
- 22:46Speaker 4: looking at course history. That's my that's my little.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Bit like breakdown, because yeah, my dad's big course history guy.
- 22:51Speaker 2: When it comes down to that, that's his thing, right.
- 22:53Speaker 2: He goes on whatever it is, like golf betting system
- 22:55Speaker 2: or whatever, the one that has like the combination stats
- 22:58Speaker 2: of their recent form and their course history, Like that's
- 23:01Speaker 2: all he has.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Now.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I don't know how much he uses it, but I
- 23:03Speaker 2: did give him a membership, Hey I can, I can
- 23:06Speaker 2: kind of get you one of those.
- 23:06Speaker 3: I'll hook you up and get you a ship a
- 23:08Speaker 3: nation membership.
- 23:08Speaker 2: I don't know how much he uses it, but certainly
- 23:11Speaker 2: did hook him up there, So I appreciate the question
- 23:13Speaker 2: from go collect.
- 23:15Speaker 3: There was one quick thing I just want.
- 23:16Speaker 2: To note fast because obviously we're huge overlay potential, but
- 23:18Speaker 2: that is for anyone the Splash contest splash sports dot com.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Even if you don't use our referral code, you'll ship it.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Don't have to like, just go sign up for the
- 23:25Speaker 2: one and done for one hundred bucks. It works out
- 23:27Speaker 2: to less than four dollars per event, and you pick
- 23:30Speaker 2: a golfer each week.
- 23:31Speaker 3: That's it. It can't get more simple.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Who's gonna win me the most money this week? I
- 23:34Speaker 2: think this golfer? And then you can't use them again.
- 23:37Speaker 2: One and done.
- 23:38Speaker 3: You get it. There we go, So the next one?
- 23:41Speaker 3: Do you think the rain?
- 23:42Speaker 2: So yeah, Gannon was out there yesterday super wet, right,
- 23:45Speaker 2: you know some of the guys I think he said
- 23:46Speaker 2: Rory did the full eighteen, but not many other golfers did,
- 23:49Speaker 2: if at all. So he said it was soaked. Possible
- 23:52Speaker 2: rain today? If so, do we think off the tea
- 23:54Speaker 2: matter is more than normal on a wet course? I
- 23:56Speaker 2: know we see and I think what Wyndham Clark we
- 23:58Speaker 2: see Rory guys? I mean, yes, good drivers of the
- 24:00Speaker 2: ball and long drivers of the ball do end up
- 24:02Speaker 2: doing good in golf tournaments. It kind of helps, but
- 24:05Speaker 2: that could be said about a lot of guys. And
- 24:07Speaker 2: then people that you don't even think are long in
- 24:09Speaker 2: some cases are still hitting it like three ten and
- 24:12Speaker 2: you're like, oh, but they're not three thirty, okay, But
- 24:14Speaker 2: they're still pounding it out there, and then they've got
- 24:16Speaker 2: other skill sets to go with it. So what's your
- 24:18Speaker 2: thoughts on this question here?
- 24:19Speaker 3: From Ryan?
- 24:19Speaker 4: I think distance could spike a little bit, And in
- 24:21Speaker 4: the past, like as of about three years ago, well
- 24:25Speaker 4: before it became a signature event, we actually did see
- 24:28Speaker 4: distance as a bit of a separating skill here. I
- 24:30Speaker 4: think that's partially just because it was such a weaker
- 24:32Speaker 4: field that the longer guys were typically the better players.
- 24:36Speaker 4: So there is a chance that distance is gonna spike,
- 24:40Speaker 4: but I don't think it'll be it'll be a ton,
- 24:42Speaker 4: And I don't think accuracy is gonna spike. Accuracy might
- 24:44Speaker 4: even go down, just because, like the reason why distance
- 24:47Speaker 4: or the reason why driving isn't very predictive here is
- 24:50Speaker 4: because there are just so many holes where everyone's hitting
- 24:53Speaker 4: the ball to the exact same spot. People are laying
- 24:56Speaker 4: up on number one, they're you know, they're semi laying
- 24:59Speaker 4: up number three, or they're just ripping it around the corner,
- 25:03Speaker 4: and you know, a really kind of awkward drive, and
- 25:05Speaker 4: then they're laying up on four, they're laying up on eight,
- 25:08Speaker 4: on nine to ten, nobody's aiming down the middle of
- 25:11Speaker 4: the fairway because the miss right is so drastic that
- 25:15Speaker 4: you know, guys are gonna miss a little bit left
- 25:17Speaker 4: after having made a better swing than guys who end
- 25:20Speaker 4: up in the fairway right. So you just have like
- 25:22Speaker 4: this really kind of diminished aspect, diminished effect of driving
- 25:27Speaker 4: because very very rarely are guys actually being tested how
- 25:32Speaker 4: long and straight can you hit the ball on this drive.
- 25:34Speaker 4: It's it's just a really unique course in that way.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to get to the Scotty conversation, I
- 25:39Speaker 2: think next, but just real quick. So my man Kenny
- 25:42Speaker 2: says that that was me the course of history and twy,
- 25:44Speaker 2: I know you wrote I'm happy to see you here
- 25:45Speaker 2: because I know you wrote your own obituary in our
- 25:48Speaker 2: discord last week.
- 25:49Speaker 3: He plays very high stakes Nosebleeds.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Have had some good conversations with him, and I appreciate
- 25:53Speaker 2: him always sharing with the community and talking about He
- 25:55Speaker 2: showed off his portfolio from last year. We did a
- 25:58Speaker 2: little Mastermind project that you've been on with me as well,
- 26:00Speaker 2: and he went through that. He was the first interview
- 26:02Speaker 2: to do for Mastermind as well. But he did show
- 26:04Speaker 2: off his three million dollars in buy in, so it's
- 26:07Speaker 2: public so I can talk about he show. He showed
- 26:08Speaker 2: off three million dollars in buy ins and talked about
- 26:10Speaker 2: his goals and sort of holding himself accountable coming into
- 26:14Speaker 2: that playthrough for twenty twenty six.
- 26:16Speaker 3: But you hopefully now that you're here in the obituary
- 26:19Speaker 3: wasn't real.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Thank god, Hopefully you put course history in that grave instead,
- 26:22Speaker 2: my friend, because it's like Alex just to explained, not
- 26:24Speaker 2: something you really should require last one and.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Then we'll move it along.
- 26:28Speaker 2: But with it being a no cut event, our man
- 26:31Speaker 2: Sean Sully shout out to him, get me on the
- 26:33Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Big Seahawks lover.
- 26:36Speaker 3: He got the job done there.
- 26:37Speaker 2: The Patriots did not show up at all, and the
- 26:39Speaker 2: Seahawks defense most certainly did. But he says, with it
- 26:42Speaker 2: being a no cut event, are you more willing to
- 26:44Speaker 2: go all in on certain golfers you like? Or are you
- 26:47Speaker 2: more willing to go all in on certain golfers you
- 26:48Speaker 2: like the most? Since you were guaranteed four.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Days I would be curious to know.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Like I talk about, like play lighter, play tighter, if
- 26:55Speaker 2: I'm playing twenty lineups, I actually have no problem personally
- 26:58Speaker 2: of like locking your guy because it's you're in or
- 27:00Speaker 2: you're out. The difference is like a twenty max. People
- 27:03Speaker 2: mistake less lineups. You know, twenty instead of one to fifty.
- 27:06Speaker 2: That's great, but they mistake that being still a small field.
- 27:09Speaker 2: A lot of those twenty maxes still have a massive
- 27:11Speaker 2: field that you're up again. So if it's a Scotty
- 27:14Speaker 2: week for me, I could easily just lock Scotty in
- 27:16Speaker 2: twenty max and say, okay, I'm in on Scotty and
- 27:18Speaker 2: let's roll it.
- 27:18Speaker 3: But what do you think about this? And does the
- 27:20Speaker 3: portfolio size really matter to you too?
- 27:23Speaker 4: I'm not sure that it really changes this. This definitely
- 27:27Speaker 4: seems to me like a bit of an MM question,
- 27:29Speaker 4: like are are you more willing to go one hundred
- 27:31Speaker 4: percent or eighty percent exposure on a guy? I don't Again,
- 27:35Speaker 4: I don't know if it changes. If if I had
- 27:37Speaker 4: to guess, I think you would actually work in the
- 27:39Speaker 4: opposite direction that it's you're you're getting less separation between
- 27:44Speaker 4: your favorite guys and the guys around them because everyone's
- 27:48Speaker 4: guaranteed four day, so you're losing the you know, the
- 27:51Speaker 4: the higher likelihood of your guys making the cut and
- 27:53Speaker 4: separating that way. So I think it's the other way around.
- 27:57Speaker 4: But you might be able to make an argument that
- 27:59Speaker 4: there's less variance because everyone gets four rounds, and so
- 28:03Speaker 4: you know, there's you're less likely to get burned by
- 28:05Speaker 4: the guys you love just because they have a one
- 28:08Speaker 4: bad day early on and now they have two extra
- 28:10Speaker 4: days to make it up. So it's a it's a
- 28:12Speaker 4: hard one to answer. It's a it's a kind of
- 28:14Speaker 4: a fun theoretical question. My gut is that the answer
- 28:17Speaker 4: is it very very very like minutely changes and it's
- 28:22Speaker 4: not really worth thinking about. You should just kind of,
- 28:24Speaker 4: you know, take your normal approach.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Okay, are we good to go to Scotty conversation. I'm
- 28:28Speaker 2: gonna add one more point on this, but then we'll
- 28:29Speaker 2: go to Scotty. So I just want to say that
- 28:30Speaker 2: I just made this one up. You know, I love
- 28:32Speaker 2: a good one liner. But I think, look, if this
- 28:34Speaker 2: is mmy and the twenty mac situation and stuff, like
- 28:37Speaker 2: I said, I think it's again it's gonna be obviously
- 28:39Speaker 2: how your risk, you know, risk adversity, things like what
- 28:42Speaker 2: are you willing to do, and knowing that if you're
- 28:44Speaker 2: right on Scotty, it's gonna mean well if it's if
- 28:45Speaker 2: you're wrong on scut I think you did this last week, Sean,
- 28:48Speaker 2: if I recall correct, I think he locked Scotty and
- 28:50Speaker 2: you know he made his way back up.
- 28:51Speaker 3: But obviously other guys got there, so I think that's
- 28:53Speaker 3: part of it.
- 28:54Speaker 2: But even if you're a single entry player, people say
- 28:56Speaker 2: I'm a single entry player, but I play five different
- 28:58Speaker 2: single entries. I play the I played the twelve dollars,
- 29:01Speaker 2: I play the twenty seven, I play the fifty, and
- 29:03Speaker 2: I play the hundred or whatever else gets mixed in.
- 29:05Speaker 2: I'm just saying, even if you're doing that, I just
- 29:07Speaker 2: made this one up. But don't let your conviction lead
- 29:12Speaker 2: to contradiction. And what I mean by that is when
- 29:14Speaker 2: if you have conviction on Scotty, and you have high
- 29:18Speaker 2: conviction on them, why are you trying to like you're
- 29:20Speaker 2: just going away to go away at that point, if
- 29:22Speaker 2: you really think it's Scotty and Scotty lineups are gonna
- 29:24Speaker 2: be the ones that get there, then I don't care
- 29:25Speaker 2: if you have five.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Single entries, three single entries, one hundred and fift, whatever
- 29:29Speaker 3: you're doing.
- 29:30Speaker 2: If that's how you feel and you don't want to
- 29:32Speaker 2: spread it out and you're good with that risk, I
- 29:34Speaker 2: wouldn't contradict yourself in those other lineups. Now, if I'm
- 29:36Speaker 2: playing like a three max, I might have two lineups
- 29:39Speaker 2: that are cored up and very similar to each other,
- 29:42Speaker 2: and say, look, I got conviction on this setup, but
- 29:45Speaker 2: I'm not sure about my last three value plays, so
- 29:47Speaker 2: I'm gonna mix them up, just to how you talked
- 29:48Speaker 2: about it before playing a three max, like a single entry.
- 29:51Speaker 2: But then I may go with my third one and
- 29:54Speaker 2: say I'm gonna sort of play a Scotty lineup and
- 29:56Speaker 2: these two knot Scotty. That's just a way you could
- 29:58Speaker 2: do it to balance your PORTFOLI if you're kind of
- 30:00Speaker 2: I'm uncertain, but if you have full conviction, there's not
- 30:03Speaker 2: really as much.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Need for contradiction. You can just roll with those lineups.
- 30:07Speaker 2: So yeah, I really just wanted to say that because
- 30:08Speaker 2: it rhymed, but I also do I mean it, and
- 30:11Speaker 2: I think I can put good meaning behind it in that.
- 30:14Speaker 3: That's how I would think about it. Doesn't mean it's right.
- 30:16Speaker 2: It's just how I would think about spending my money
- 30:18Speaker 2: if I was putting it out there. Because you are
- 30:20Speaker 2: spending money on this stuff, so I want you to
- 30:22Speaker 2: do it in the best way possible.
- 30:23Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same concept as like you want to
- 30:25Speaker 4: differentiate the part of the lineup that you're most uncertain
- 30:28Speaker 4: about that you think this is the weak spot of
- 30:29Speaker 4: the lineup. I will give myself as many chances to
- 30:32Speaker 4: get the weakest spot correct as I differentiate. And that
- 30:35Speaker 4: means that you're not you're not hedging on the part
- 30:40Speaker 4: of the lineup that you have the most conviction on.
- 30:42Speaker 4: And if that's Scotty, then don't play in on Scotty lineup.
- 30:45Speaker 4: If if it's not Scotty, If if you feel like, Okay,
- 30:48Speaker 4: I'm really confident in these two or three seventy two
- 30:51Speaker 4: hundred dollars value plays, but I don't know if I
- 30:54Speaker 4: should pair them with Scotty and two other seven K
- 30:57Speaker 4: guys or with Sea who had Key and Chris gotter up. Okay,
- 31:02Speaker 4: now you do one Scotty and you do one of
- 31:05Speaker 4: the of the balance builds. So whatever your conviction is,
- 31:08Speaker 4: build around that and differentiate elsewhere.
- 31:11Speaker 2: This was a key point. That's why I tried to,
- 31:12Speaker 2: you know, put this out earlier. Kenny so Keny coming
- 31:14Speaker 2: back up with a good one. It's like, it's not
- 31:16Speaker 2: just about Scotty. That is the whole point, And this
- 31:18Speaker 2: is the conversation we're about to get into again that
- 31:20Speaker 2: we've got into the last two weeks. It is about
- 31:22Speaker 2: the rest. But that's what I'm saying. If someone has
- 31:24Speaker 2: conviction on the value plays that all makes Scotty fit
- 31:27Speaker 2: and they like Scotty, well, then it's pretty clear where
- 31:29Speaker 2: you should go. Like, you have thirty value plays you
- 31:31Speaker 2: gotta work through, and you love Scotty, well, guess what,
- 31:34Speaker 2: you can make a lot of good lineups around that,
- 31:36Speaker 2: whether it's multiple single entries or a twenty max or
- 31:38Speaker 2: whatever it is. If you don't like an entire range
- 31:42Speaker 2: and your conviction is this all sucks and you're gonna
- 31:43Speaker 2: start with Scotty, You're gonna have to find some of
- 31:45Speaker 2: that stuff.
- 31:45Speaker 3: But yeah, think about it as a whole.
- 31:47Speaker 2: The game we play still involves six options, and that's
- 31:49Speaker 2: why we always talk about when people get about get
- 31:51Speaker 2: up in their you know, feelings about a donkey chock
- 31:53Speaker 2: piece getting there it's like it's not a vacuum. It's
- 31:56Speaker 2: not a matchup bet between that you can. We talk
- 31:58Speaker 2: about Corey Connors and Godrup the he want. We like
- 32:01Speaker 2: Corey Connors. We thought he was the best chok. He
- 32:03Speaker 2: did not do the best, we said, But there's a
- 32:05Speaker 2: guy like gott Her up right next to him who
- 32:07Speaker 2: could win this thing. Like he's he's an outlier that
- 32:09Speaker 2: he could just he has huge ceiling. If he gets there,
- 32:11Speaker 2: he could blow up in your face as well. But
- 32:13Speaker 2: everyone always takes it as like either or you have
- 32:17Speaker 2: six spots to fill and both of them could fit
- 32:19Speaker 2: quite comfortably into a lineup. So hopefully that helps that
- 32:21Speaker 2: you guys can think about it. The code is ship.
- 32:24Speaker 2: It just s hi, p it T. Let's go to Scotty.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Let's start me off. I know you had some.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Amazing math over in your discord that really explains it well.
- 32:33Speaker 3: But I think you kind of said pre show, like
- 32:34Speaker 3: you got a way that you can just sort of
- 32:35Speaker 3: break it down to people this week, give me your
- 32:37Speaker 3: overarching Scotty thoughts, and then you could bring whatever angle
- 32:41Speaker 3: you want into it on this slate.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Particularly so a few weeks ago we did like a
- 32:45Speaker 4: hypothetical before the slates started of what are you giving
- 32:50Speaker 4: up when you play Scotty, And we looked at, you know,
- 32:52Speaker 4: the likelihood of getting all three We looked at you know,
- 32:56Speaker 4: I think it was Henley see what can and DECKI
- 33:01Speaker 4: or something like that, Yeah, against Scotty, Patrick Rodgers and
- 33:05Speaker 4: Sam Stevens. And what we saw was the likelihood of
- 33:08Speaker 4: getting all three guys in the top five, all three
- 33:10Speaker 4: guys in the top ten, all three guys in the
- 33:11Speaker 4: top twenty. That's where the disadvantage for Scotty lineups slide.
- 33:16Speaker 4: And what we saw last week was actually like a
- 33:19Speaker 4: perfect example of the shortcomings of Scotty lineups. And to start,
- 33:25Speaker 4: it's worth noting last week was about as well as
- 33:28Speaker 4: the cheapies could have done for Scotty lineups. Scotty lineups
- 33:32Speaker 4: averaged four point nine cuts made to three point six
- 33:35Speaker 4: cuts made for non Scotty lineups, which means that the
- 33:38Speaker 4: difference wasn't just about Scotty making the cut, It was
- 33:41Speaker 4: literally about guys that you had to use to fit with.
- 33:44Speaker 4: Scotty actually made cuts at a higher rate than like
- 33:47Speaker 4: the more balanced guys, So a very unique week in
- 33:50Speaker 4: that sense. It couldn't go better for Scotty, and yet
- 33:54Speaker 4: still non Scotty lineups were more likely to have three
- 33:58Speaker 4: guys in the top twenty. They were three times more
- 34:01Speaker 4: likely to have four guys in the top twenty. They
- 34:03Speaker 4: were six and a half times more likely to have
- 34:06Speaker 4: five guys in the top twenty. They were almost twice
- 34:08Speaker 4: as likely to have three guys in the top ten
- 34:11Speaker 4: and in the fifty five dollars. With about fifteen hundred people,
- 34:15Speaker 4: zero of the two hundred and twenty four Scotty lineups
- 34:17Speaker 4: had four guys in the top ten two point two percent,
- 34:20Speaker 4: So thirty one of the fourteen to twenty eight lineups
- 34:23Speaker 4: that did not have Scotty had four guys in the
- 34:26Speaker 4: top ten. When you use Scotty, the biggest obstacle is
- 34:30Speaker 4: the upside of the cheap guys. They just can't contend
- 34:33Speaker 4: often enough to give the lineup as a whole the
- 34:36Speaker 4: upside you need to take down tournaments. From there, we
- 34:39Speaker 4: can segue into this event and say, okay, but is
- 34:42Speaker 4: a signature event, smaller field different because now that seven
- 34:47Speaker 4: k range instead of being guys like Michael Brennan and
- 34:52Speaker 4: to Kumi Kanaya, it's Minwu Lee JT. Posts and Keith Mitchell,
- 34:56Speaker 4: Wyndham Clark s Hithagala Akshavati like guys who actually have
- 34:59Speaker 4: real upside. So it does change a little bit in
- 35:02Speaker 4: that regard. So I'm curious to hear your thoughts, tamba On.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Is that different enough where now the Scotti lineups have upside,
- 35:09Speaker 4: But there's also an added variable this week where now
- 35:13Speaker 4: the field is strong enough that one of the things
- 35:15Speaker 4: that's going to potentially keep Scotty's ownership in check, it's
- 35:19Speaker 4: the fact that people do want to play the other
- 35:21Speaker 4: guys up top. They want to play Rory, they want
- 35:23Speaker 4: to play Tommy and Hovelin and Sea Wu in a decade,
- 35:26Speaker 4: like all the guys who have been playing well are there,
- 35:30Speaker 4: and now we also have Rory, Tommy, guys we haven't
- 35:33Speaker 4: seen yet this year Russell Henley, who are are common
- 35:36Speaker 4: you know DFS player favorites. So it's a very interesting
- 35:40Speaker 4: Scotty decision this week because there are now two reasons
- 35:44Speaker 4: why we maybe shouldn't play Scotty. But one of those
- 35:47Speaker 4: reasons the upside of the cheaper guys I think is
- 35:50Speaker 4: diminished at least a little bit based on this field.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Yeah, part of it is also too like you look
- 35:54Speaker 2: at it. You mean you mentioned some of the names,
- 35:56Speaker 2: and there's some ups and downs where like Akshay was
- 35:59Speaker 2: sixty nine hundred last week, he went up to seventy three. Uh,
- 36:02Speaker 2: you know he's he's fine down there. I'm just saying,
- 36:04Speaker 2: like the example, like you met Kidiyama, he was what
- 36:06Speaker 2: seventy five seventy six hundred last week, he's seventy three.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Some of it's not as changed as people think. Some
- 36:11Speaker 2: people were saying, oh my, not look at the talent
- 36:13Speaker 2: down here. But the bigger thing I'm wondering about, and
- 36:15Speaker 2: we'll get to this in a second talking about the
- 36:17Speaker 2: chalk build.
- 36:17Speaker 3: But again, yes, there's guys down there you can play
- 36:20Speaker 3: with Scotty.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I think there's more of them than we saw last
- 36:23Speaker 2: week because you know, you know, the cup the cut
- 36:25Speaker 2: factor matter. This is a no cut you know, when
- 36:27Speaker 2: you do have the McGreevy, Smalley, Rogers, Yager, penge Hoey,
- 36:32Speaker 2: who else, Grazerman. All these guys are sub seven K.
- 36:35Speaker 2: So it's like, those are possibilities that can make a
- 36:38Speaker 2: Scotty lineup work, especially if Scotty has a good week.
- 36:40Speaker 2: But what's most interesting to me is about some of
- 36:43Speaker 2: those guys getting pushed down. Is now you start to
- 36:45Speaker 2: see like Mari cow Is seventy eight hundred again, how
- 36:48Speaker 2: do people adapt.
- 36:49Speaker 3: I'm not lobbying for a play. I'm explaining stuff.
- 36:51Speaker 2: I know people hate more cow But like Harris English
- 36:53Speaker 2: seventy seven hundred, Burns eight thousand, Cam Young eighty one hundred,
- 36:59Speaker 2: Oberg eighty three hundred, Ben Griffin eighty four hundred, these
- 37:03Speaker 2: were nine and ten k guys, some.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Of them in weeks previous.
- 37:06Speaker 2: So do you think that means like more people can
- 37:09Speaker 2: lean in to this, especially with how well see Wu
- 37:13Speaker 2: and Gotta Rop and and guys like that are playing
- 37:15Speaker 2: in the nine k's And then you know, I guess
- 37:17Speaker 2: my biggest fear is not really a fear, but just gave.
- 37:20Speaker 2: We have to get ownership, right. That's the key component
- 37:22Speaker 2: to it all is like the Rory Fleetwood thing. I'm
- 37:25Speaker 2: going a couple different places here, but it's all tied together.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Is like the Rory Fleetwood thing can go one of
- 37:29Speaker 2: two ways. People haven't seen them in a while, don't
- 37:33Speaker 2: want to go to Scotty and they're like, all right,
- 37:34Speaker 2: I'll go to those guys now.
- 37:36Speaker 3: But also It can sometimes be that effect of like
- 37:39Speaker 3: Roy should.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Get something no matter what, but like Fleetwood is over
- 37:42Speaker 2: ten k, you know, those that don't know what he's
- 37:45Speaker 2: been doing in different places and all this stuff this
- 37:46Speaker 2: last year, Like you know, maybe they're on a rock somewhere,
- 37:49Speaker 2: but I'm just saying, no, I'm noting that. And then
- 37:51Speaker 2: they're saying, maybe I can just leave those guys out
- 37:53Speaker 2: and I don't even need to go to Scotty and
- 37:55Speaker 2: I can just start with Sea Wu and then I'll
- 37:57Speaker 2: still be able to fit the Jake Nap at seventy
- 37:59Speaker 2: nine eight Cam Young.
- 38:01Speaker 3: So give me, give me thoughts on that. I guess
- 38:03Speaker 3: slipping it back to you just on a on a
- 38:04Speaker 3: quick note.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think part of you know that answer
- 38:08Speaker 4: is like I do think part of the field is
- 38:10Speaker 4: just gonna say, I'm just gonna keep riding the hot hand.
- 38:12Speaker 4: And so someone who was using Seawou and Hideki is
- 38:16Speaker 4: probably more likely to use got her up than you know,
- 38:19Speaker 4: Patrick can't lay somebody who's using you know, those guys
- 38:24Speaker 4: are also more likely to use Jake Knapp as one
- 38:27Speaker 4: of the value guys. Basically like just saying throughout my lineup,
- 38:30Speaker 4: I'm just gonna ride the hot hands Sahi Thigala Akhavatia
- 38:33Speaker 4: now after last week, So I think there's there's kind
- 38:36Speaker 4: of like a correlation there of where people go based
- 38:39Speaker 4: on on who they like at the top. But I
- 38:42Speaker 4: also think like another another kind of aspect of the
- 38:46Speaker 4: of the Scottie conversation that I should have brought up
- 38:48Speaker 4: is last week, got her Up was in twenty six
- 38:52Speaker 4: percent of non Scottie lineups. He was in seven percent
- 38:55Speaker 4: of Scottie lineups, and he was only eighty three hundred dollars.
- 38:58Speaker 4: But that too, is like an example of just the
- 39:01Speaker 4: difficulty of fitting Scotty, because when you use Scotty, it's
- 39:05Speaker 4: not just that it's hard to fit somebody in the
- 39:07Speaker 4: eight K range, it's that you only have one chance.
- 39:10Speaker 4: So right, like, someone last week might have liked three
- 39:14Speaker 4: guys in the eight K range, and if they used Scotty,
- 39:18Speaker 4: maybe they picked wrong of which eight K guy they
- 39:20Speaker 4: wanted to force in. If they didn't have Scotty, they
- 39:24Speaker 4: used all the eight K guys that they liked, and
- 39:26Speaker 4: got Up happened to be one of them, so it
- 39:28Speaker 4: was really easy to land on him. This week. I
- 39:31Speaker 4: don't see the same separation in that eight K range
- 39:33Speaker 4: of the seven K range. Like if if you flipped
- 39:38Speaker 4: like thorpe Jornsen's price with Ricky Fowler's price so eighty
- 39:42Speaker 4: six hundred to seventy six hundred, I don't think we'd
- 39:44Speaker 4: be staring at this like Wow, Ricky's like way too
- 39:47Speaker 4: overpriced and thorp Bjornson super super underpriced. I think he'd
- 39:51Speaker 4: still get you know, plenty of ownership down there. But
- 39:54Speaker 4: a lot of these guys in the seven K and
- 39:56Speaker 4: eight K range seem much more interchangeable than they were
- 39:59Speaker 4: last where last week, if you made God up seventy
- 40:01Speaker 4: three hundred dollars, he would have been sixty percent owned
- 40:04Speaker 4: single entries. So I do think in that way this
- 40:08Speaker 4: field is a lot more conducive to Scotti lineups. But
- 40:12Speaker 4: when I look at you know, okay, am I like
- 40:14Speaker 4: the to use Scotti, The answer for me is still no.
- 40:17Speaker 4: But this time instead of it being because I like
- 40:19Speaker 4: the seven K and EK range too much and I
- 40:21Speaker 4: want to load up on that range instead of the
- 40:23Speaker 4: low sevens and upper sixes, for me, it's more about
- 40:26Speaker 4: this week. I think I'm gonna end up wanting Henley
- 40:29Speaker 4: Rose Hideki Victor Fleetwood Rory. Like the idea of being
- 40:35Speaker 4: able to use two of those guys under owned with
- 40:39Speaker 4: a really really good GPP scorer over at FTN, that
- 40:41Speaker 4: to me is just more enticing than using Scotti.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:44Speaker 2: The other thing too about the Scotti lineups is again different.
- 40:47Speaker 2: You know, single entry, you got to get everything right
- 40:49Speaker 2: and you're gonna need.
- 40:50Speaker 3: It all, so that's part of it.
- 40:51Speaker 2: But I think a lot of the Scotti lineups end
- 40:52Speaker 2: up very similar, even with the abundance of options down there,
- 40:56Speaker 2: Like when you have Ryan Girard at seventy five hundred
- 40:59Speaker 2: dollars at seventy three, you have Min Wu at seventy two,
- 41:04Speaker 2: Matt McCarty a crowd favorite out there at sixty nine hundred,
- 41:08Speaker 2: like these all the Rico hoo, he's sixty seven, Rogers
- 41:11Speaker 2: sixty six.
- 41:12Speaker 3: We know what these other projection sites do.
- 41:13Speaker 2: We've got, you know, two of our own, and you
- 41:16Speaker 2: know that's part of it as well, knowing that, But
- 41:17Speaker 2: like where people go with the other big sites that
- 41:20Speaker 2: they use, I think that blends it some as well.
- 41:23Speaker 2: And you're the one thing about the Scotty lineup that's
- 41:26Speaker 2: interesting is it kind of puts you all in on
- 41:28Speaker 2: like in that range, it's who's the other guy that's there?
- 41:32Speaker 2: I think ox Sheha is down there, like whoever they
- 41:33Speaker 2: decide to go on different guys down there, but Cam
- 41:36Speaker 2: Young at eighty one hundred and Jake Napp at seventy
- 41:40Speaker 2: nine hundred, even Ben Griffin at eighty four hundred, Like
- 41:43Speaker 2: some of these guys are popping off the page for
- 41:45Speaker 2: that balance build.
- 41:46Speaker 3: And then I got a thing too, got Her Up.
- 41:49Speaker 3: I mean, he could be a lot more money, and
- 41:50Speaker 3: I think people would still be considering him at nine K.
- 41:53Speaker 2: I don't but Scotty got Her Up doesn't really work,
- 41:55Speaker 2: so it's like, you know, it's it's tough, so I
- 41:58Speaker 2: don't know, it's really tricky to pin down.
- 42:00Speaker 3: I think it's like we did a couple of weeks ago.
- 42:02Speaker 3: It's there's the Scotty chalk build and then there's like
- 42:06Speaker 3: the non Scotty chalk build.
- 42:08Speaker 2: I'd be more curious. I guess the Scotty chalk build
- 42:10Speaker 2: seems easier to put together the non Scotty.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Where do you think they start? Is it see Wu?
- 42:16Speaker 3: Is it Henley? Is it got her Up? I could
- 42:18Speaker 3: even see people starting with got Her Up and just
- 42:20Speaker 3: going balanced.
- 42:21Speaker 4: I do think it's Sea Wu. I'm very curious to
- 42:24Speaker 4: see what the field does with got Her Up because historically,
- 42:26Speaker 4: like one of the one of the big I honestly
- 42:30Speaker 4: like I think inefficiencies in the way the industry uses
- 42:35Speaker 4: players is we are very very hesitant to go back
- 42:39Speaker 4: to the guy who won in the previous week. Like
- 42:42Speaker 4: over and over and over again, we see a post
- 42:44Speaker 4: win ownership discount that I personally like to take advantage of.
- 42:50Speaker 4: I'm curious if got Her Up has won so much
- 42:53Speaker 4: recently that that is kind of out the window and
- 42:55Speaker 4: that people now realize, oh, this guy can just keep winning,
- 42:58Speaker 4: and so they won't give us that ownership discount this week. Currently,
- 43:02Speaker 4: in our ownership projections over FTN, I am not including
- 43:06Speaker 4: that post win ownership discount. We've got him just right
- 43:11Speaker 4: behind basically like Seawoo and Fitzpatrick is the most popular
- 43:14Speaker 4: guys in that eighty five to eleven to five range,
- 43:18Speaker 4: with Scott around thirty percent. So yeah, I think one
- 43:22Speaker 4: of the really common builds we'll see is like Sea
- 43:24Speaker 4: Wou Kim one of Henley's Shoffley got her Up, and
- 43:29Speaker 4: then Fitzpatrick, Cam Young Nap kind of just going down
- 43:33Speaker 4: the board that way, and you know, maybe one of
- 43:35Speaker 4: those guys will have to be dropped because you can't
- 43:38Speaker 4: fit it otherwise. But that, to me, is going to
- 43:40Speaker 4: be like a collection of guys that are used together
- 43:42Speaker 4: quite a bit, because it's guys who are playing really
- 43:44Speaker 4: well right now, guys who are gonna project well all
- 43:47Speaker 4: around the industry, and guys who seem like they're probably
- 43:51Speaker 4: a little bit under price relative to the guys who
- 43:54Speaker 4: are next to them.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting question here.
- 43:57Speaker 2: I want to see something your thought on this, and
- 43:59Speaker 2: then I'll add if it's different. But Andrews said, so,
- 44:01Speaker 2: who would be the most popular second man in for
- 44:04Speaker 2: Scotti lineups?
- 44:05Speaker 4: Go ahead, So if you use Scotty, you're left with
- 44:09Speaker 4: seventy two hundred dollars per the remaining five spots in
- 44:12Speaker 4: your lineup, which for most people that's gonna make them
- 44:16Speaker 4: scroll down to seventy two hundred dollars. They're not, you know,
- 44:18Speaker 4: then saying okay, but I really want to fit this
- 44:21Speaker 4: guy at at eighty seven hundred, like it would like
- 44:23Speaker 4: it would be for fits for example, they're going down
- 44:25Speaker 4: to that seventy two hundred dollars range and they're figuring
- 44:27Speaker 4: out who they like most in that range. I think
- 44:29Speaker 4: the guys who are going to be most popular around
- 44:31Speaker 4: that range are Coody, Gerard, Minwu Lee and Kirk Kadiama.
- 44:37Speaker 4: Maybe we get some Keith Mitchell, Steam, Connors, Stevens or
- 44:41Speaker 4: McCarty could steam, so any of those names. But I
- 44:44Speaker 4: think more than like any of those names specifically, it's
- 44:48Speaker 4: a lot of Scotty lineups are going to be a
- 44:49Speaker 4: collection of those names. And the more, and you know,
- 44:52Speaker 4: in some of those guys I mentioned are above seventy two,
- 44:54Speaker 4: So the more guys that are used above seventy two,
- 44:57Speaker 4: the more they're then going to have to go dip
- 44:58Speaker 4: into the six k range. So like Tom Hoge could
- 45:01Speaker 4: get Steam, McGreevy could get steam, Patrick Rodgers and Michael
- 45:05Speaker 4: Kim again, you know, the whole industry likes those guys.
- 45:08Speaker 4: So so yeah, pretty pretty spread out because as we mentioned,
- 45:14Speaker 4: like there actually are high quality names down there, and
- 45:17Speaker 4: there are a bunch of them. There are a lot
- 45:19Speaker 4: more options this week if guys you can go to,
- 45:21Speaker 4: so it is going to be easier to fit Scotty.
- 45:24Speaker 4: But do we see one of those guys really separate
- 45:28Speaker 4: at like thirty percent and nobody else gets to twenty,
- 45:30Speaker 4: I kind of don't think so. I kind of think
- 45:32Speaker 4: that they're going to steam together and fifteen to twenty
- 45:35Speaker 4: might be the ceiling for some of them and maybe
- 45:38Speaker 4: we get one or two at like twenty five.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I want to see too.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Another thing I want to bring up just a key point,
- 45:43Speaker 2: because it's again everybody reads stuff differently, but I think
- 45:47Speaker 2: you know, when Andrew's saying who's the second man, and
- 45:49Speaker 2: some people think right away, I'm just gonna speak for
- 45:51Speaker 2: both sides. I know somebody says, you know, oh, who's
- 45:54Speaker 2: the second priced guy that goes in?
- 45:56Speaker 3: I think of it.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Maybe you do as well, But who's the second click
- 46:00Speaker 2: immediately go to? Because that's what you know, what's the
- 46:02Speaker 2: automatic click? And you named a few of them, but
- 46:04Speaker 2: I think, like you know, the chat said it, I
- 46:05Speaker 2: think there's Straka, Girard, Kidiyama, min Wu, like these are
- 46:09Speaker 2: the guys that are the values in projections that are
- 46:12Speaker 2: gonna pop off the page they you look. Let's say
- 46:16Speaker 2: it's Girard at seventy five hundred, there's gonna be lineups
- 46:19Speaker 2: that he's not the second priced guy in, but he
- 46:22Speaker 2: could be the more popular like he's the second click
- 46:24Speaker 2: for people because to Alex's point, when people get down there,
- 46:27Speaker 2: they go to that range.
- 46:29Speaker 3: Let's say they put.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Him in a couple other you know, mid range or
- 46:31Speaker 2: low end seven K guys in then they start to
- 46:34Speaker 2: see can I get to Straka and who oh wait
- 46:38Speaker 2: a minute, if I actually like the guy Hogy, who's
- 46:40Speaker 2: two hundred bucks cheaper, well now I can move up
- 46:42Speaker 2: from Straka to Nap. And that's where these two v
- 46:45Speaker 2: two questions come from, right like, oh, I'm on Straca
- 46:47Speaker 2: and who is it? I'm I'm on Straka and HOI
- 46:51Speaker 2: or do I like Hogi and Nap? Well again, that's
- 46:55Speaker 2: you gotta look at the whole lineup think about it
- 46:57Speaker 2: from that perspective. But I think that's where those questions
- 46:59Speaker 2: stem from when people are seeing it, because they start
- 47:02Speaker 2: to realize what can fit. So the second click can
- 47:04Speaker 2: oftentimes be the second person they go to. And so
- 47:08Speaker 2: we'll see how it actually shakes out.
- 47:10Speaker 3: But I think right now it looks like Nap Gerard Straka,
- 47:14Speaker 3: and then down low it looks like Kiddyama min Wu,
- 47:16Speaker 3: and then in the six case you're seeing like McCarty, Howey, McGreevy,
- 47:21Speaker 3: Patrick Rogers, just whoever the projection sites are pushing through,
- 47:25Speaker 3: and then you can look at how you can get
- 47:26Speaker 3: it different from there. In single entry, I would still
- 47:28Speaker 3: be inclined. It's not my lane this week.
- 47:29Speaker 2: But I'm saying if I was going Scottie, I would
- 47:31Speaker 2: be embracing the variants down low. There's not that much
- 47:34Speaker 2: there's not gonna be that much of a difference between
- 47:37Speaker 2: ten of those different names down there.
- 47:38Speaker 3: And remember, they can't all get played.
- 47:40Speaker 2: Oh I heard someone mention this. I heard people mention
- 47:42Speaker 2: a lot of shit. That's why we don't do the
- 47:44Speaker 2: full fix and plays. It's we're talking.
- 47:45Speaker 3: About how to play, not who. People talk about a
- 47:48Speaker 3: lot of stuff.
- 47:49Speaker 2: Some people that talk about it don't even actually play,
- 47:51Speaker 2: and then some people that do talk about it and
- 47:53Speaker 2: play don't necessarily land on, you know, just a lock
- 47:56Speaker 2: piece down there, like I'm putting this person all.
- 47:58Speaker 3: It's not gonna be like that. It's gonna be spread out.
- 48:00Speaker 2: So there's a ton of different names down there where
- 48:02Speaker 2: you could just embrace the variants and find guys that
- 48:04Speaker 2: people can't get to in these spots.
- 48:06Speaker 4: So anything one of the names that you just mentioned,
- 48:10Speaker 4: Tom HOGI I think is a really kind of great
- 48:13Speaker 4: conversation piece because he goes back to the conversation about
- 48:17Speaker 4: why we why you and I don't care about course history.
- 48:21Speaker 4: Tom Hogy historically has been an outstanding iron player, very
- 48:27Speaker 4: high quality putter, at least a streaky putter. So you
- 48:30Speaker 4: know somebody who over the years, you get him when
- 48:32Speaker 4: the when the putter's working over, you know, a six
- 48:35Speaker 4: week period, like he's just going to continue to make
- 48:37Speaker 4: putts at a high clip that historically has been a
- 48:40Speaker 4: very good fit for Pebble Beach. As we talked about. Now,
- 48:44Speaker 4: if you look at his like fifty round rolling average
- 48:47Speaker 4: for approach play on data Golf, it's in the toilet,
- 48:51Speaker 4: like he stinks with the irons. Now, our projection for
- 48:54Speaker 4: him is he's going to lose over a quarter of
- 48:55Speaker 4: a stroke per round with his irons. Right now, he's
- 48:58Speaker 4: no longer a good fit. So if you're using Tom
- 49:00Speaker 4: Hogy this week because he has good course history here,
- 49:03Speaker 4: I think you're kind of missing the point of why
- 49:05Speaker 4: he has played well here in the past, because in
- 49:07Speaker 4: the past his game really fit this course. Now that
- 49:10Speaker 4: doesn't mean he can't play well this week, because it's
- 49:12Speaker 4: still probably true that when he spikes. When he plays well,
- 49:15Speaker 4: he's going to play well in the right categories. Like
- 49:18Speaker 4: you know, when he finished eighth at the Amex, we
- 49:20Speaker 4: did see him, you know, flag a lot of shots.
- 49:23Speaker 4: His irons were good. He was making a bunch of putts.
- 49:25Speaker 4: Spotter has been working all year so far, but he
- 49:28Speaker 4: lost almost ero point seven per round with the irons
- 49:30Speaker 4: at toy and then he lost one point eight per
- 49:33Speaker 4: round last week at the wm in to miss the
- 49:36Speaker 4: Cup with just his iron. So the part of his
- 49:39Speaker 4: game that has been the reason why he has fit
- 49:42Speaker 4: this course so well in the past right now is
- 49:44Speaker 4: a weakness. And so when I look at Tom Hogy, like,
- 49:47Speaker 4: I'm not expecting good things just because he has good
- 49:49Speaker 4: history here. So if he's going to be five to
- 49:51Speaker 4: ten percent on because he has good course history, like
- 49:54Speaker 4: to me, that's five to ten percent of the field
- 49:56Speaker 4: making a mistake that I want to take advantage of.
- 49:58Speaker 3: Right and we'll see that in other place.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Is too not to say, Like I'll use another example,
- 50:02Speaker 2: but Jason Day is playing fine right now from what
- 50:04Speaker 2: we've seen recently, and he obviously has an incredible history here.
- 50:07Speaker 3: But I think people also underestimate what the projections do.
- 50:11Speaker 2: For people, because at the end of the day, he's
- 50:13Speaker 2: just he doesn't project like the guys that have been
- 50:15Speaker 2: nine k and above around like a Ben Griffin who's
- 50:18Speaker 2: eighty four hundred will easily eat. They could be end
- 50:20Speaker 2: up being even, They could even be a little bit
- 50:22Speaker 2: more owned. But I'm just noting it is. It could
- 50:24Speaker 2: be a lot more equal than you think. Or some
- 50:26Speaker 2: early sites will project because a lot of people early
- 50:29Speaker 2: on go off the course history stuff. But the lineups
- 50:31Speaker 2: are actually majority built with optimizers and things that are
- 50:35Speaker 2: taking the projections into effect. And you can exploit that
- 50:38Speaker 2: if you think that's a weakness somewhere and you can
- 50:40Speaker 2: find that.
- 50:40Speaker 3: In your favor, then use it.
- 50:42Speaker 2: But it's the opposite side of it to Alex's point
- 50:44Speaker 2: with HOGI, where the projections might not even be on him.
- 50:47Speaker 3: The recent form is not really great.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Was he was good when he was good, and the
- 50:51Speaker 2: course history is based off of that, but people are
- 50:54Speaker 2: playing him at you know, five to ten percent rate. Well,
- 50:56Speaker 2: that's where you can kind of exploit it the other
- 50:57Speaker 2: way if you want it to as well.
- 50:59Speaker 4: And also Jason Day, like, remember how weak this field
- 51:03Speaker 4: was before it became a signature event, he should have
- 51:05Speaker 4: been contending year after year when he was by far
- 51:09Speaker 4: the best player in the field most of those years,
- 51:11Speaker 4: so we shouldn't be surprised that he was in contention
- 51:13Speaker 4: all the time. Now his numbers are like ridiculously consistent here,
- 51:17Speaker 4: so it's not like he hasn't played even better than
- 51:20Speaker 4: we would expect, but we should have expected him to
- 51:25Speaker 4: contend quite a bit here. So the fact that he's
- 51:27Speaker 4: played well and remember what is the one skill set
- 51:31Speaker 4: that has been more predictive here than usual, hutting. Jason
- 51:35Speaker 4: Day has been probably the best putter of the last
- 51:38Speaker 4: fifteen years in the world. So yeah, it's not surprising
- 51:42Speaker 4: to see that he has done well. And it's a
- 51:44Speaker 4: reflection of course fit and talent more than like just
- 51:47Speaker 4: some you know, hidden black box fit of why he
- 51:52Speaker 4: plays well here. That is all you really get when
- 51:54Speaker 4: you look at course history. No, we understand why he's
- 51:57Speaker 4: played well here based on how good of a player
- 51:59Speaker 4: he is and the way that he's fit the golf course.
- 52:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess like looking at it too. Obviously
- 52:03Speaker 3: the last couple of years still six.
- 52:05Speaker 2: On the thirteenth, But back in the day, it was
- 52:07Speaker 2: like it was all top sevens or better, top fives
- 52:08Speaker 2: or better, top four, top threes, you know, seconds things
- 52:11Speaker 2: like that, so you know it's not like he fell
- 52:13Speaker 2: off a cliff, but obviously a pun and tend. I
- 52:15Speaker 2: guess if you saw that Jordan Speed new video that
- 52:17Speaker 2: came out of him, like that was the most insane thing,
- 52:19Speaker 2: by the way, from any angle, but you see that
- 52:21Speaker 2: new angle like man that looked like one slip of
- 52:24Speaker 2: the foot and he's gone. Someone said it, I think
- 52:26Speaker 2: it was in the comments, was like Greller, like you
- 52:28Speaker 2: pick up that ball and you're like, I don't care,
- 52:30Speaker 2: Like this is my job and it's to protect you.
- 52:32Speaker 2: You'll thank me later, because now Spee says he even
- 52:34Speaker 2: regrets hitting that shot. But that was very wild when
- 52:37Speaker 2: you think back to that. Or would you be attempting that, Alex,
- 52:40Speaker 2: I don't think I would be anywhere near that.
- 52:41Speaker 4: I have no idea, just because like I don't know
- 52:44Speaker 4: what it felt like for Spieth in the moment. If
- 52:47Speaker 4: I felt fine with my footing, I'm probably the knucklehead
- 52:50Speaker 4: who would try.
- 52:51Speaker 3: Something like that. Geez man, that's dangerous stuff. I don't know.
- 52:53Speaker 2: I'm not into that, but I will say good point
- 52:55Speaker 2: there on the Jason Day stuff and even like again
- 52:57Speaker 2: that's where the course history stuff can.
- 52:59Speaker 3: Still be used, which just how do you use it
- 53:01Speaker 3: and think about it?
- 53:01Speaker 2: And you did it with HOGI you did it again
- 53:03Speaker 2: with Day, just bringing up those perspectives, so I certainly
- 53:05Speaker 2: appreciate that.
- 53:06Speaker 3: I think others will as well. Now let's talk about
- 53:08Speaker 3: leveraging this chalk build that we sort of have got
- 53:11Speaker 3: down to here. I know we've got two versions of it,
- 53:14Speaker 3: but is there anything you see it could be part
- 53:15Speaker 3: of your lane later?
- 53:16Speaker 2: I mean, I think I don't want to give it
- 53:18Speaker 2: away too soon, but I think like there's certainly something
- 53:20Speaker 2: here and I'll get to it later. But yeah, there's
- 53:23Speaker 2: a way that can leverage everything, But just go ahead.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Is there you know, for leveraging the chalk build for
- 53:29Speaker 2: single entry focus like we always talk about GVP perspective
- 53:31Speaker 2: the two hundred dollars by the way, very nice this
- 53:33Speaker 2: week fifty k up top, so I'm very excited about
- 53:36Speaker 2: that one.
- 53:36Speaker 3: But what sort of thoughts do you have about leveraging
- 53:39Speaker 3: these chalk builds that we just talked about.
- 53:41Speaker 4: I think one of the things that we notice when
- 53:43Speaker 4: we're looking at ownership projections so far is that most
- 53:48Speaker 4: of the chalky guys are chalk because of how well
- 53:51Speaker 4: they have played so far this season, that people have
- 53:54Speaker 4: already seen them playing quality golf and that makes them
- 53:57Speaker 4: more confident that they're gonna play well this week. So
- 53:59Speaker 4: I think one of the clear ways that you can
- 54:01Speaker 4: leverage it instead of just talking about like specific players
- 54:04Speaker 4: or specific price ranges, just switch to guys that you
- 54:08Speaker 4: know historically are really good players and are underpriced for
- 54:13Speaker 4: what they have done over the last two years or
- 54:15Speaker 4: something like that. So someone like JJ Spawn at seventy
- 54:19Speaker 4: eight hundred dollars, there's some injury concern, but if he's
- 54:23Speaker 4: not injured and you're just looking at like what the
- 54:26Speaker 4: body of work has been over the last eight months,
- 54:29Speaker 4: twelve months, twenty four months, nobody is as underpriced as
- 54:33Speaker 4: he is, so you're also getting an ownership discount there.
- 54:37Speaker 4: You can make the same case for somebody like Bobby
- 54:40Speaker 4: Mack or let's see, like even someone like Patrick Cantley
- 54:45Speaker 4: or Justin Rose who actually has a win this week
- 54:48Speaker 4: but win this year, but he seems like he's going
- 54:51Speaker 4: to be under owned, and then you know, down lower
- 54:53Speaker 4: you can get to somebody like a Wyndham Clark or
- 54:56Speaker 4: an Alex Norrin or Corey Conners. So looking in instead
- 55:00Speaker 4: at long term body of work and knowing that this
- 55:04Speaker 4: is a really, really good player. I think that's a
- 55:07Speaker 4: really solid way to leverage the field this week because
- 55:10Speaker 4: the field is very clearly like in on guys who
- 55:12Speaker 4: have shown it this year and are consistently playing good
- 55:15Speaker 4: golf right now. That doesn't necessarily mean they're more likely
- 55:18Speaker 4: to play well this week.
- 55:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's key. And then I think just
- 55:21Speaker 3: looking at the ranges right when you're talking about it,
- 55:24Speaker 3: like obviously the Scotty lineups we mentioned it.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Can you get strack in there and nap in there
- 55:28Speaker 2: like wherever? Yeah, you can get one of them, right,
- 55:30Speaker 2: or maybe two if you stretch it thin, But you
- 55:33Speaker 2: can't really get three guys from there right. The balanced
- 55:36Speaker 2: version could, So I would be thinking about that if
- 55:38Speaker 2: you're flipping it out, but like flipping it up. But
- 55:40Speaker 2: I think what you said earlier too is a prime example.
- 55:42Speaker 2: If you like three value plays and they all work
- 55:45Speaker 2: with Scotty, think about what everybody else is doing. If
- 55:47Speaker 2: if they like the similar three value plays, they're probably
- 55:50Speaker 2: looking next up Scotty. What if you put that in
- 55:52Speaker 2: with the three value plays you like where you end
- 55:54Speaker 2: up on two nine K guys that.
- 55:56Speaker 3: Others aren't on.
- 55:58Speaker 2: And again these are I'm not going to really have
- 55:59Speaker 2: a specific pick. I'm gonna speak to something when I
- 56:02Speaker 2: get to my lane later, but just to note it,
- 56:04Speaker 2: like quick example from it, the Headekis, the Justin Roses,
- 56:09Speaker 2: the gotter Ups, the guys like that. They're they're all
- 56:11Speaker 2: playing really good golf. People just don't want to stick
- 56:14Speaker 2: with them all. They can't keep doing that, and you
- 56:16Speaker 2: can again, you could start stacking those up and leveraging
- 56:19Speaker 2: up and finding separation even further because some aren't even
- 56:21Speaker 2: putting one separator.
- 56:23Speaker 3: Into their lineup.
- 56:24Speaker 2: That way, they're going to see Wu or Henley or
- 56:27Speaker 2: you know whoever it is up top that they're comfortable
- 56:29Speaker 2: with Fitzpatrick or Jason Day or whatever in the mid
- 56:31Speaker 2: range like whatever that looks like. You can use that
- 56:34Speaker 2: to your advantage because for everybody that's going to those guys,
- 56:37Speaker 2: they're not going to those other guys. And a lot
- 56:39Speaker 2: of them are saying it's because they can't do it again.
- 56:41Speaker 2: They've been doing it and they can.
- 56:43Speaker 3: Do it again. Gonnor can't win again.
- 56:44Speaker 2: Oh wait, he just won again, and so it's like
- 56:46Speaker 2: he can do it plenty. I remember he won the
- 56:48Speaker 2: Scottish Open. He can't show up at the Open, no,
- 56:51Speaker 2: no way, wait a minute, top five, top three, whatever
- 56:53Speaker 2: it was the following week. It's like he can definitely
- 56:55Speaker 2: continue playing good golf. So it does feel like in
- 56:58Speaker 2: this field there is some of that where people are
- 57:00Speaker 2: leaving other guys out just based on it's like the
- 57:03Speaker 2: thought process or the feeling of they can't do it again.
- 57:05Speaker 2: And then I also think too, like the certain guys
- 57:08Speaker 2: that we've liked all season, and again I'm not I
- 57:11Speaker 2: don't really care recent form or anything about their course history,
- 57:14Speaker 2: like we said, but like if you're looking at Oberg
- 57:18Speaker 2: Robert McIntyre, if you go down to who's the other guy?
- 57:22Speaker 2: I was thinking of Nick Taylor, Taylor Pendrith, sorry, right
- 57:26Speaker 2: right above him, and then two Canadians, two tailors, but
- 57:28Speaker 2: just noting that, and then even like Penge down below.
- 57:32Speaker 2: We wanted these guys at different times this season already
- 57:35Speaker 2: and now you just don't want them again. The field
- 57:37Speaker 2: did get stronger, but it's almost like a thought I
- 57:38Speaker 2: have when you have to fill out six players in
- 57:41Speaker 2: a lineup and We talk about this all the time,
- 57:42Speaker 2: about the lineup and not just the play of your
- 57:45Speaker 2: one and done point you made this season.
- 57:46Speaker 3: We're gonna get to the one and done segment.
- 57:48Speaker 2: Shortly, but just noting it of it's like you kind
- 57:51Speaker 2: of want them when they can make.
- 57:53Speaker 3: The biggest difference for you.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Okay, four guaranteed rounds very low ownership in some cases
- 57:59Speaker 2: can separate and.
- 58:00Speaker 3: Kill guys around them completely.
- 58:02Speaker 2: And that's where somebody's sitting there with a five or six,
- 58:04Speaker 2: not in the sense that you think they have the
- 58:06Speaker 2: same six of six as you. Everybody made the cut,
- 58:08Speaker 2: but five of their guys did good and their chalky
- 58:11Speaker 2: six guy didn't. And you've got the separator there because
- 58:14Speaker 2: you were willing to go back to the well on
- 58:15Speaker 2: the guy that you saw all seasons. So a little
- 58:17Speaker 2: bit of a sneak preview before I'm going with it,
- 58:19Speaker 2: but I just think that's so important, and that's how
- 58:21Speaker 2: I like to embrace the variants in a no cut
- 58:24Speaker 2: more than just saying I'm gonna pick some randoms off
- 58:26Speaker 2: the wall. And you can also use this just a note,
- 58:29Speaker 2: try to make this evergreen. You can use this in
- 58:31Speaker 2: showdown as well. You see how many times. I know
- 58:34Speaker 2: everybody out there can vouch for this. You've been on
- 58:37Speaker 2: somebody in round two or round three Showdown, you went
- 58:41Speaker 2: off of them in round three and round four and
- 58:43Speaker 2: watch them dominate you and win the tournament for somebody,
- 58:46Speaker 2: and like, of course the day after I went away
- 58:48Speaker 2: from them. I'm not saying you got to stick with
- 58:50Speaker 2: them every day. I'm just saying the reason that happens
- 58:52Speaker 2: is because everything you thought you liked about them, or
- 58:54Speaker 2: everything they were doing well.
- 58:56Speaker 3: Could click in. You could just be a day late,
- 58:58Speaker 3: right day late, and a lot of dollars short.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Is certainly a statement when it comes to DFS, with
- 59:02Speaker 2: with Showdown, with Classic, with whatever it is, but with
- 59:04Speaker 2: no cuts. I think that's a big factor as well.
- 59:06Speaker 2: A lot of the guys that you already like Sam Stevens.
- 59:08Speaker 2: He's a it's seven K flat. He fits all the
- 59:10Speaker 2: Scotti lineups. Everyone's liked him all season.
- 59:13Speaker 3: Currently, again, we'll see what the other projection sites do,
- 59:16Speaker 3: but I don't see him very high right now from
- 59:18Speaker 3: an ownership respective, just because it's not really the range
- 59:21Speaker 3: people are landing in. They want that seventy two to
- 59:23Speaker 3: seventy nine range to the low sevens, the upper sixes,
- 59:26Speaker 3: maybe McCarty get some. But you'll see some really good
- 59:29Speaker 3: lineups at the end of the week. I'll end the
- 59:31Speaker 3: rants soon, but just you'll see some really good linpess.
- 59:33Speaker 3: It'll have someone like Stevens and McCarty and people like Oh,
- 59:35Speaker 3: those chalk donkeys always come.
- 59:37Speaker 2: Through, but this week they're five percent. They might have
- 59:39Speaker 2: been chalk donkey's previous weeks. They're not necessarily that.
- 59:43Speaker 3: This week. You're comfortable with the name. You've seen the
- 59:46Speaker 3: name because they've been in your thoughts, they've been in
- 59:48Speaker 3: your lineups, right, you've been using them. They're not even chalk.
- 59:51Speaker 3: When you're calling them chalk, you're just.
- 59:52Speaker 2: Mad because you weren't on them this week, but you
- 59:55Speaker 2: were other weeks. So using guys like that can really
- 59:57Speaker 2: build some unique lineups for you that aren't crazier stupid.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: No crazy diamonds in the rough. You were literally just
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: on them or others were, but they're coming through when
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: now people have moved off of them. So not rocket science,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: but I think it's very critical in events like this,
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: especially with no cut automatic four rounds.
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: Yep, A great there. I think it might be time
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: for one and done in betting.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, I'm good with that rant over.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: What what is the thoughts on the one and done?
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: I'll just you know, go through it quickly here just
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: to preview it one last time.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: I want to see too what it got to Let
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: me do this Alex raight quick if you guys didn't see.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: So we got up from four twenty to four to
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: forty three. So we're still under five hundred entries right now.
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: But if you guys haven't checked it out yet, go
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: to splash sports dot com. It's one hundred bucks for
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: the entire season to get in, so it's four dollars
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: or just under per event. There's twenty seven events. The
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: prizes are huge twenty thousand, eleven thousand, seven to almost
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: seven thousand and forty five to three twenty three, six
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: to tenth like a lot of big prizes that you
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: can play for there, So check that out.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: What are your thoughts for this week?
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: I know, like all season long, people have just been
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: talking it up about like the breakdown and you know
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: how you can sort of see through when.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: You should use guys. But this is our first signature events,
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: so I'm very curious to get your take on this one.
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: Yeah, we are there. We have finally made it to
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: the point where we are trying to win this week
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: instead of what we've been doing, which is more like
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: just a focus on making sure we're saving guys four
- 1:01:22Speaker 4: weeks like this. So my thought is, I want to
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: start a little bit contrarian. And this this still isn't
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: like the you know, the biggest person. We're going to
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: get a couple of majors, and we're gonna get the
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: players that have an even bigger first place prize. So
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: I think what I want to do here is get
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: a little bit contrarian, and I want to find somebody
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: with just a massive amount of iniquity, even if they're
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: a little bit less likely to play super well. So
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: the number one guy that I have in mind is
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: Justin Rose. Where if you told me that six months
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: from now, when we get into like the you know,
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: the middle of the summer, four five months from now,
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: that he isn't playing super well anymore, I'd believe you.
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: He's forty five years old, but right now he's playing
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: extremely good golf. He's beating any competition when he's on
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: his a game. So I kind of want to just
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: ride the hot wave with Rose here, and I think
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: that he'll be pretty low owned. Where if we get
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: it right now, we're in like you know, now we're
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: in the driver's seat where we can start just playing
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: the best play week after week and still put ourselves
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: in position for the for the top prize, whether it's
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: you know, against fifteen hundred ish people like in your
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: Splash contest or a massive amount like in the in
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: the Pat Mayo contest.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's interesting because I got a text
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: from my dad this morning. I enter his Pat Mayo
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: at popa Tambo is the name in the contest, and
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: he's very interested in Justin Rose this week.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: So I likes what he sees.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: He's kind of thinking the same, you know method we
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: were just talking about of like it's not just about
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: you know, it's not just about you know, the history.
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: It's it's more about like also how he's been playing
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: and just coming off of a win. But like also
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: ride the hot hand, well he's hot because it could
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: fall apart pretty quickly. And I mean we talk about
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: this all the time too, by the way, just making
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: fun of a ton of different NFL players. But like
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: early on in the season, like let's play this guy
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: before he breaks down and falls apart in the second
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: half of the season. So it's like little things like
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: that that can kind of be thought about here as well.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: I know it's not I'm definitely not calling a forty
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: six year old old when I just turned forty myself.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: Trust me, he's young. He's very young, many many years
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: to go.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: Some say he could only be at like a one
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: third life crisis right now. You know, new technologies and
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: things advanced, But I will say that is something still
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: to be said. In a game like golf, back aches, swing, speed,
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: all these different factors that you're working on, capitalize on it.
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: Now we know what gets you through to the FedEx
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Cup playoffs. You know, get all these points early on
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: and then you can kind of coast a little bit
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: if you're not feeling fully healthier or all there with your.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Game or working on things. So I like that call.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: I don't really have too many other thoughts, Like I
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: guess what I wouldn't be doing is like what the
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: conversation you had around Like some people that just get
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: comfortable being like Jason Day, he never messes up here.
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: I'll just use him.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: The other thing I will say, though, is I don't
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: think I'm using Scotty right Like, I think it's still
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: for me as good as Scotty is, and I get
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: all that, and it's definitely a time where you could
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: at least make money off of it.
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: I still kind of want Scotty.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: For something with four rounds and a cut, and also
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: like really hard over the four days, we're like, okay,
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I'm getting a top five from Scotty.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: I know people say that's every week. I get it.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: He just came third even again last week, but it's
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: like I really wanted to be like a top three
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: top me oh year, like a really high likelihood of
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: that every week feels like that for Scotty. But for me,
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: I see a bunch of different options in this field
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: early on that I could go to. So I'm out
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: on Jason Day and I'm out on Scotty Scheffler. That's
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: the two that I'm I'm certain on at least.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm I'm also out on Rory. And interestingly,
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: like two years ago, I used Rory here at one percent, thought, oh,
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: what a brilliant decision. It looked like he was gonna win.
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: Early on day one, he was like six under on
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: Spyglass and up by three, and then he forgot how
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: to golf and ended up finishing like thirtieth something like that.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: Here's like sixtieth or something.
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: Yeah, and then last year I did not go back
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: to him. He won at one percent again, and I
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, you moron, why did you
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: not use the exact same logic as you did last year?
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: But now, because he won last year, I don't think
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: he'll be one percent again. So now I'd rather save
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: Rory for a course that fits him a lot better,
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: something like where you know, driving matters more than usual.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: So that's kind of the other point with Rose that
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: I kind of forgot to mention is like he's not
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: losing as much off the tee and with with the
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: with the ball striking to the other elite players this week.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: And he might be the best putter of the elites
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: right now. So he certainly he's one of the best
- 1:05:45Speaker 4: putters in this field. So this course fit model, you know, this,
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: this golf course, it allows him to contend with the
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: other elites a little bit better than most will.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: One interesting thing too, I'll just add this in and
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: all you get to the betting breakdown was also really
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: fits like the model of everything we want to talk about,
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: but the breakdown of got Her Up again, like now
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: is your separator now and now many people again nobody
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: thinks he can win again. It's now we're in a
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: stronger field, Like of course, why would you go to
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: god her Up?
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: He just won.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: It's how a lot of people see it. There was
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: like two I think two of the four rounds last
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: week he lost pretty bad with the potter. He still
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: had a lot of other things going good for him.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: He bombs it out there. This would be a week
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: for you know, two people, Like two tournaments have already
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: been won by got Her Up where people got the
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: got Her Up money out of it, and now you
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: can get the most got Her Up money on a
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: week like this. Well he's playing good, well, he fits
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: the course, all these different factors.
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: I just I would have no problem with that if you.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: Want to ride the hot hand. I also think a
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: lot of people are already talking about, you know, early Ryder
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Cup stuff and things like how good got Her Up
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: is and leaving got Her Up behind for Morikawa is
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: like much easier to say after a couple more wins
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: and stuff, but I get it. My point would just be,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: I just think, to your point earlier, not many people
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: are gonna go to him because of what he's done already,
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: But what he's done already could almost be why you
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: could or should go to him.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: Yeah, this isn't necessarily one and done centric, but I
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: think it's kind of an important point when we go
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: back to the discussion of, you know, not necessarily just
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: going in on all the chalk that's played well this year,
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: there are four guys who really stand out to me
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: got Her Up Thorp, Bjornson, Jake Knapp, Pearson Coody. What
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: these four players all have in common. In addition to
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: playing very well last week and playing well so far
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: this season, they are all in the upper echelon of
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: our strokes game driving distance and our strokes game driving
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: accuracy estimates. This is really important because we're coming from
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: a golf course in Scottsdale where both of those aspects
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: of golf were extremely predictive. They're a lot more predictive
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: than usual. So, in other words, have they played really
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: well because they're super super inform and they're just going
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: to continue to play well no matter what golf course,
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: no matter what golf course they're on, or did they
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: just play really well last week, because all four of
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: these guys, we're on golf courses that are perfect. We're
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: on a golf course that are perfectly suited for their games,
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: and now they're going to a golf course that isn't
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: as suited to their games, where that big giant strength
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: that they have, and like for Thorpe Jornson got her
- 1:08:17Speaker 4: up and Cooty especially, like those are their only two
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: strengths relative to this field. Napp is also an excellent putter,
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: so I think there's a better argument for Nap this
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: week than those other three. But so the three guys
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: like it, that's it. They drive the ball longer and
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: straighter than everybody else in this field or the most
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: of this field. There's not a single other skill set
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: where they are at or above average relative to the
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: rest of this field, or at least relative to the
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: rest of the best players in this field. So I
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a lot harder for them to
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: contend this week, and they're all going to get ownership
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: because they're playing very well. And so I think that's
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: like a really kind of interesting way to think about
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: current form and notice just that current form is a
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: product of their recent fit. And when suddenly they're going
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: to a golf course that's a much worse fit than
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: what it's been, that's potentially, you know, a time to
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: sell high. And similarly, somebody who hasn't played well in
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: the last few weeks because they are very short off
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: the tea, they're inaccurate off the tea. Now they get
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: to a course in Pebble where that doesn't hold him
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: back as much, And so maybe you get some really
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: nice by low opportunities on some guys that way as well.
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Anything anything stand out from like the the betting side
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: of things, anything else extra to ad.
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got I've got two outrights. My favorite one
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: is Fitzpatrick, except I don't know if he's still available
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: at forty. So let me let me do a quick
- 1:09:40Speaker 4: check on our prop shop over at FTN for Fitzpatrick,
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: and thirty five is now the best number. I think
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: thirty five is still good, but obviously it's not as
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: good as forty, so instead let me give out JJ
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: Spawn and I talked about Spawn a little bit with
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: Pat on the show yesterday, where I don't know that
- 1:10:02Speaker 4: I'm gonna be taking that risk on DraftKings because there
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: is still a risk that he's injured, he's gonna withdraw,
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: or he's just gonna play poorly, because there really is
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: something bothering him, and so the downside risk is very
- 1:10:16Speaker 4: much there, and it's meaningful on DraftKings. In the outright market,
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: the downside doesn't matter because ninety seven percent of the
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: time when he's healthy, he's gonna lose anyway. All we
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: care about is does he have a three percent chance
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: to win? And he does in our model, and we're
- 1:10:30Speaker 4: getting him at sixty to one at Pebble fifty five
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: in some other places fifty to one within each way
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: on bet three sixty five. So I like the spawn
- 1:10:39Speaker 4: bet quite a bit. And like I said, we've got
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: with three point zero percent to win that is not
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: factoring in any injury. So that's basically saying we think
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: he's healthy most of the time. When guys miss one
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: week in PGA and then return they missed, the fact
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: that they missed due to injury is a little bit
- 1:10:58Speaker 4: more like I have something bothering enough that I can
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: claim injury, where really I just feel like I needed
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: to work on my game for a week and now
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: maybe that game is good to go. So the upside
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: is very much there, and I love him in the
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: outright I get and people were mad last week.
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: It's like, oh, Susie w D Like, ah, what's his
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: rose pick?
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: Now?
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: It's like, what wasn't his rose pick? It was his
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: spawn pick the roses the week before he won. But
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: I liked that call out, so bringing him back in,
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: I know you were on the fifth number a little
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: bit earlier, so that's awesome to see as well.
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: Obviously played really well last week, didn't, you know, keep
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: it up the whole week.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: But pretty crazy that, you know, again, just a takeaway
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: for everybody with DFS And that was a cut event.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: But day one, Scotty was declared dead at whatever his number,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: seventy three or whatever. And see wu I think shot
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: a seventy five or whatever the numbers were after day
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: one and Matt Fitzpatrick had won the tournament. Both those
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: golfers came back to beat Matt Fitzpatrick by at least
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: two strokes in the end, So yeah, it was two
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: strokes over them, fifteen hundred versus thirteen unders. So little
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: things like that that stand out all right, made it
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: to the end. We will get to our leverage lane
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: for the week.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: I don't even know how I'm gonna say mine, so
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: I'll just I'll let you say yours first, and then
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: I will give a breakdown of mine and give people
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: something to think about.
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: Okay, So mine's kind of gonna be a combination of
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: what I already talked about, trying to buy a low
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: on players who are just very very good players long
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: term and haven't necessarily shown us much this season. But
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: I also am leaning into a metric that I recently created,
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: a Birdie rate over expectation. And essentially with this metric
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: is saying, and it's available in my discord, you can
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: use Promo Coo leverage for ten percent off forever if
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: you're interested in my discord. Essentially, what this is saying
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: is I am confident. I'm not very confident this week
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: and who's going to play well. The course fit model
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: is not conducive to predicting who's going to play well. Instead,
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: I am confident in who's going to score really well
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: if they play well. That's guys like at the top
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: Rory Victor Rose. These guys make a ton of birdies.
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: Then in the mid range it's Thorp, Jornsen Ober, came
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: Youong Burns, Jake Knapp, Pierson, Coody, Harry Hall, Jordan Speith,
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: Akshay Figala, Kiddyyama, Keith, Mitchell, Wyndham Clark. So lots of
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: these guys. Essentially, what you're saying is, when they play well,
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: they might finish fifteenth on the actual leaderboard, they might
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: be seventh on the DraftKings leaderboard. They're going to give
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: me a ton of birdies, They're going to give me streaks,
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: they're going to give me eagle opportunities. So I'm really
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: leaning into that aspect of it because I don't think
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: that I can accurately predict who's going to play well
- 1:13:36Speaker 4: on this golf course. So instead I'll predict who scores
- 1:13:38Speaker 4: really well when they play well. And this is also
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: naturally going to leave me to some contrarian guys, because
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: a lot of those guys, you know, the field is
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: almost even opposed to because one of the reasons why
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: someone gets to that really like high birdie rate over
- 1:13:53Speaker 4: expectation is because they also make too many mistakes. And
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: so the Field is a little bit scared by their
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: volatility and their downside, and I'm going to embrace that
- 1:14:01Speaker 4: and hope that they make a ton of birdies for me.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely love that angle. I mean I talked
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: a little bit about that stuff throughout as well. But
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: minds of me just to fade Scotty. I'm interested to
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: see where his ownership comes in. But I'm gonna add
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: to it, of course. I just want to note something like,
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: so the Scotty popular build with Scotty and let's say Straca,
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: let's just use Scotty Straka for a second, really involves
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: a six K guy. Like if you look at it
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: a million different ways, it's pretty much at least one
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: sixty seven or sixty eight hundred dollars guys. So just
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: a quick note, if you like the sixty seven or
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: sixty eight hundred dollars guy, what I would fade that
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: for is very simple. Every single Scotty Straca lineup can
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: be Rory and Fleetwood. So just a note if you
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: if you like the low end, I'm just giving you
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: the swapperouse here. That's a two v two SWAPERO. Your
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: six K guy can be different than the other ones.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: But if you if you find the lineup like the
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: Scotty build and you realize it has Scotty and Straka,
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: I'm not playing that version. So that's the part of
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: my lane is I'm not going down that route. You
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: can flip that to Rory and Fleetwood. Those two it's
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: one for one. So just a little note there.
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: You're taking on the risk. You know what it is.
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: I can promise you with Rory and Fleetwood.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: Even if they do get a little bit of steam,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: I just don't know if they will at those prices,
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: especially together, you will still be able to get away
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: with kind of whatever.
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: You want down low.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: I wouldn't go like all the chalk, but I'm just
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: saying you'd be able to move to the good plays
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: down there that you want, and just then you're battling
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Rory and Fleetwood versus Scotty in seven mid seven K guy.
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: So there's that. But we'll see where ownership settles. I
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: have here's my big one.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing that the eight K
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: range will be completely left alone. Like I think Day
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: will still get some. I think Griffin will still get some.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: I think Ober McIntyre young we'll all pick up some steam.
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: I know the nine K is getting brought up, but
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: if you take Scotty Straka and the six K guy
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: out allah the first week when I was against you
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: on the Scotti side thing, you can get to three
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: nine K guys and just using Scotty Straka and sixty
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars, which is a very common build this week,
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: as we talked about rounding it all out, I can
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: play se Wou, Decki and got Her Up for the
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: same price, and that's where my lane's going to end.
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna be on exactly those three,
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: but I told you I like Sea Wu, I like DECKI,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: I like Rose, I like Henley, I like got Her Up.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: I think you know, Henley's probably the least of those guys.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: But those other four, some combination of three of those guys,
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: I can still sort of get away with whatever I want.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: And even if they do pick up steam, it's we're
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: talking like fifteen to twenty percent range in most stuff
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: for that area, So I'm gonna be interested more in that.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: If I do feel the nine K range gets pumped
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: up too much.
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: I can always go to my Rory Fleetwood and six
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: k guys, so fade Scottie, fade the common build and
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: then move it down to something in those two ranges
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: with exact swaperus. I call it the two v two
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: swaperoo or a three v three in this case if
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: you want it to be. But I think that's something
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: that I'm looking at for this week. Any other final
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: thoughts from you, Alex before we get out of here.
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: If not, you can let the people know where they
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: can find.
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: You at alex Plica one on Twitter. As I mentioned,
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: you can use promo code leverage for ten percent off
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: everything in my discord and that count is forever so
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: every single time at Renews and also over at FT
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: and Fantasy when you want that data, sign up with
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: promo code Blick you'll get ten percent off there.
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: Should note because the caveat people out there, the I
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: canti here it, so I'm bringing up now the single
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: entry I'm talking about is the two hundred dollars single
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: entry with fifty k on top when you see.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Me in by the way.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: Another note, the five dollars drive the Green is the
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: best it's been ever so far, so I will be
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: definitely playing in that, not just it's cheaper, which is nice,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: but it's also three hundred K prize school with thirty
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: K to first, three K to ten and something we
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: don't talk about a ton, but I love when it
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: comes to contest selection, is I actually prefer less people
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: get paid. I mean, like I always say, we played
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: a ship, and I know that's not how it works, though,
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: So I get why you want min cashes. I know
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: for sure why DraftKings wants more min cases just to
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: recycle the money, and I get all that's part of
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: oh if you want the game to stick around and.
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: But my point would be, I like what they did
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: with poker, Like the World Series of Poker has like
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: a very nice payout structure. At the main event, they
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: usually only pay fifteen to eighteen percent of the field.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: Though it's like if you you know, they could rejuvenate
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: cash games if you don't like only fifteen to eighteen
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: percent getting paid.
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: I just don't always think twenty five.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Like they let one hundred grand sit in eight thousandth
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: place to fifteen thousandth and it's like that's just min cash.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: Is that you could just bump up the board and
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: make everything better and then everybody should play to win,
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: So I will say that before we get out here.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: But yeah, in my mme stuff that you can play
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: some scotti for sure this week, but I prefer in
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: single letters to move off from completely. Even if it
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: was like twenty lineups or less, probably wouldn't be interested.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: But in one fifty you'll see some scotti. Lastly, the
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: number one thing for us right now, you go to
