• 1:11
  It is currently Tuesday as we're recording, but we are now on to the second week of March Madness.
• 1:20
  The Thursday and Friday games, we've only gotten four games a day and then two on Saturday and Sunday,
• 1:30
  because that's how math works. So, but yeah, let's do a quick recap around with the boys.
• 1:39
  Chris, how did you do this March Madness four-day weekend?
• 1:44
  It was pretty good. No complaints. Vols one, Kentucky lost first round and I'm, what, 19 and 15
• 1:53
  gambling. So, that's about as good as you can ask for. So, I had a fun four days. I think
• 2:02
  I only won losing day. I think it was the first day of the second round. I hated it. It was,
• 2:07
  I was looking at my card as soon as I tweeted, I was like, this is bad. I immediately got bad
• 2:12
  vibes and I went like two and five. So, but the rest of the days were winning and like I said,
• 2:18
  Vols win. Kentucky loses in embarrassing fashion yet again. So, all in all, pretty solid few days
• 2:27
  for Chris.
• 2:27
  Well, I'm counting all my losses.
• 2:38
  All right. Well, I guess I'll take over. I went 27 and 22.
• 2:45
  There you go. Yes.
• 2:48
  That's a lot. Yeah, that is a lot.
• 2:50
  Especially for you. Yes. I bet on every single game for the most part.
• 3:00
  At least I think it's every single game. I mean, I'll take your word for it.
• 3:06
  Yeah, that's, yeah. I can't remember a game I didn't take.
• 3:13
  Yeah, that would be an odd number. Anyway, we're moving on.
• 3:16
  But yeah, I bet on every single game did not think it was going to go this well,
• 3:23
  to be quite honest, but there were a couple of trends on the trend center that
• 3:30
  had a lot of games on these trends. Like, if I didn't know what to take in the first round
• 3:37
  on a game, I took the under because that was one of the trends. It was like the first round
• 3:43
  on unders. Yeah. It went 14 and three last year. I could not find the stat on the unders
• 3:52
  for this year's first round. But the first two days, I went nine and seven back to back.
• 4:00
  And then I believe Saturday, I went six and two. And then
• 4:06
  Sunday, I went three and five. So I only had one losing day. But Saturday was like, oh, man,
• 4:14
  this is awesome. I love college basketball. And then the next day was the complete opposite.
• 4:23
  But yeah, shout out trend center. Check them out. Lincoln Bayon.
• 4:28
  Definitely. Sean, are you? How did you do if you're prepared for that?
• 4:37
  Yeah, I'm done. I'm done counting. It just took a while. I did not have a good weekend at all.
• 4:46
  Not at all. I won one bet on Sunday. I went one in.
• 4:52
  I went one in 12 on Sunday. Yeah.
• 5:03
  First two days, I was eight and eight. I was the king of 500. I was I was okay with that.
• 5:09
  And then the weekend just it just hit me like a train.
• 5:15
  I have lost confidence. I'm gonna say it. I've lost confidence.
• 5:25
  But NC State to make the elite eight is still alive, which is cool. And I bet I said last week
• 5:34
  that I bet for Tennessee to reach the sweet 16 plus 100. Obviously, that happened. That's good.
• 5:40
  So yeah, I'm not looking forward to Thursday. Y'all are probably really excited.
• 5:50
  I'm very much I'm very nervous. I'm not excited at all.
• 5:58
  You know, fucking way she goes.
• 6:03
  I don't know if I don't know if she's gone this bad before.
• 6:06
  Man, I feel it. I this month I've had some I haven't had any one in 12s because I haven't
• 6:13
  betting that much. But I've had I've had a couple one in sixes, some two in eights. Like it's
• 6:20
  it's been brutal. I get it. Yeah. And on the Lord's Day.
• 6:25
  It's just what does that on Palm Sunday? I know.
• 6:34
  It's like he does. It's like gambling is a sin or something. And he was punishing me for it.
• 6:42
  Everybody does it. Not have fun. How can it be a sin? Everybody does it.
• 6:48
  Everybody loves it. That's how I've been justifying most of my life choices. So yeah,
• 6:52
  everybody drives a car, you know, you gamble when you get behind the wheel.
• 6:57
  Everybody gambles. Some say life is a gamble. It is the biggest gamble of all. Yeah.
• 7:05
  So why not throw a little on NC State to make the elite that why you're at it, you know?
• 7:11
  Why not?
• 7:15
  That was actually kind of poetic. I might use that.
• 7:19
  Yeah.
• 7:22
  Why not throw a unit on UAB plus seven and a half against San Diego State?
• 7:28
  Never in doubt, either brother.
• 7:30
  Never in doubt. That was a little in doubt. I was I was getting pretty mad at them
• 7:36
  late in the second half. They're down by like 10 and they cannot make a damn shot. I was furious.
• 7:41
  I went to bed because I had watched basketball for the whole day.
• 7:45
  And that was a night game, I'm pretty sure.
• 7:49
  I know that was like an early afternoon. I think that was like at four o'clock.
• 7:53
  Are you thinking of San Diego State Yale?
• 7:57
  That was like a nine o'clock tip.
• 8:00
  Probably. I don't know.
• 8:02
  They all kind of blend together at this point.
• 8:04
  Yeah, they're all kind of because I'm pretty sure I didn't watch that one.
• 8:08
  I remember I remember it was during the day because I also had WKU Marquette over at the same
• 8:15
  time or they're happening at the same time. And I was like West Kentucky that over was cruising.
• 8:22
  So I kind of stopped paying attention to it. And I was so
• 8:28
  maybe and then I checked back with like five minutes left and I was like, oh my god, this
• 8:33
  this isn't going to hit like definitely you just stop scoring. And then yeah, it went under by two
• 8:38
  points. It was cruising the entire game. And I was so mad. And then of course, like two seconds
• 8:46
  after it ends, they're like, I think it's I know, will you said something and somebody else in our
• 8:50
  group chat? Like, oh, WKU went under by like a point and a half or something. And I was like,
• 8:55
  you motherfuckers. I was like, I get it. I get it. I'd be happy to. But I was I was very pissed off.
• 9:03
  I think that might have been me. I think definitely you said something. Someone else too. I can
• 9:10
  remember. Yeah, because I had the same thought during that game. Because like at halftime,
• 9:19
  the total was at like 70. Oh, something close to 90 almost maybe. Yeah. And so I was like,
• 9:28
  all right, not even a game. Yeah. I was I was like, at least WKU can be beat. I don't want to see
• 9:38
  them to win a game. And then it just magically went under. Array for me. That was a good day for me,
• 9:50
  though. Let's see. So I want to I want to bring something out that I told you, Will, but I didn't
• 9:57
  tell Chris. And yeah, you already know what it is. But Will will got under my skin a little bit
• 10:05
  on Thursday. On the first day on the first the third game of the day. That Creighton game. Yes.
• 10:14
  That was funny. I remember. I'm tech. I'm watching the game. I'm like, I have over 141 and a half.
• 10:21
  I'm watching it at work. And I'm like, oh, man, this over is cruising, dude. And then like the
• 10:27
  same situation they just stopped scoring. Yeah. And then like I messaged the group and I'm like,
• 10:34
  damn, Creighton Akron went under by five and then will just responds under 141 and a half. Check.
• 10:44
  And I'm like, you motherfucker, I'm gonna I want to beat your ass. I was sitting right next to him
• 10:52
  when he sent that. And I thought it was funny, but I would I would also I understand your reaction.
• 10:59
  Yeah, I won. I was upset that, you know, I was at work and I couldn't really watch the games in
• 11:07
  their full intensity, I guess. And like, I was super busy trying to keep up with the best I can.
• 11:15
  And then I see a bet just lose after it's cruising. And I just want to blow off a little steam in the
• 11:21
  group chat. And here comes will just being like, look at me. Look at me going nine or seven.
• 11:31
  It's it's all in it's all in good fun. I understand it. It's funny. It is funny. But at the time,
• 11:37
  you did get to me. Just throwing a lot of throwing around a little chirps with the boys first day
• 11:43
  of March Madness. It's a holiday. What a crappy holiday. So far.
• 11:54
  Hey, we're you you got plenty of time to make up for it.
• 11:59
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess I'll just kind of quickly go over the the trends that I gave out.
• 12:12
  And go over go over the winning ones. I gave out the first round unders.
• 12:20
  I'm not sure the record on that because I didn't write down every single game because it was on
• 12:25
  so many games. But on my next trend was 12 seeds against the spread against five seeds.
• 12:32
  And that's that week, the first round, there was McNeese, UAB, Grand Canyon and JMU. And that went
• 12:42
  three and one. So there you go. Listen to the pod. There's some winners. Let's see. Okay. And then
• 12:51
  I gave out a trend I found on TikTok about always take the underdog in the eight versus nine.
• 12:57
  And in the very first game, I bet on Mississippi State. I think I had them to win two games.
• 13:03
  But then they just straight up lost bracket busted right there. Did not think that that would happen.
• 13:11
  I thought Izzo was cooked. And I thought that we would get the Mississippi State team that beat
• 13:17
  the shit out of Tennessee. So it naturally I was taking the underdog. I was mistaken.
• 13:25
  But then after that, that trend also went three and one. There you go. Six and two. Will give
• 13:38
  it out six and two picks on the pod. It's crazy. And then nine seeds to move on to the second round.
• 13:46
  Darn. Getting to the next round after the second round. Yeah, the sweet 16. I'm pretty sure all
• 13:56
  of those lost. I should have written that down. Yeah, because I think San Diego State's the highest
• 14:06
  C left in their five. Right. Is that right? NC State. Oh, yeah, yeah, they're like a 10. But
• 14:16
  11. 11. Excuse me. But I think they're the highest. And then there's yeah, it's pretty chalked.
• 14:24
  Yeah, they're the last Cinderella. Yeah. The team is so electric, though. They are.
• 14:32
  Watching the first game when they were playing Texas Tech at the house and girlfriend was watching
• 14:42
  with me. And she had never seen DJ Burns before. And she had Texas Tech to win in her bracket.
• 14:47
  And she saw him. She goes, that man has boobs.
• 14:56
  So we do not speak ill of DJ Burns in this house.
• 14:59
  I was like, yes, he does have boobs, but we don't talk about it because he's a unit.
• 15:05
  This guy rocks. He does. And I was pissed. We were robbed of an all time match up between
• 15:12
  DJ Burns and Eddie Lampkin with Colorado. If Colorado would be Marquette, we would have had that.
• 15:19
  And just a battle of the units just just banging bodies down low.
• 15:24
  Just dudes banging each other down low. A couple fat dudes banging each other down low.
• 15:35
  Bang bodies. Yeah, no nine seeds went on to the sweet 16. So
• 15:41
  there we go. There's a couple winners from from your boy will listen to the pod,
• 15:46
  get trend center going to be set up. All right. Let's see. What else do we want to talk about?
• 15:53
  Oakland shout out. That was that was crazy. I don't know what I had. I can't remember what I had in
• 16:01
  that game. You had the under. I'm now trying to think of it one. I don't know. I had I had the under
• 16:10
  as well. And yeah, barely one. Yeah, okay. It barely won. But I was still like rooting for Oakland.
• 16:18
  Oh, 100%. Yeah, that is what I was. Yeah, I remember that now. Yeah. Yeah. I remember being
• 16:23
  like if this under doesn't hit, I can find solace in Kentucky losing. Yes, that's exactly what I
• 16:31
  was thinking when they were fouling down with like 10 seconds left. I was like, this is probably
• 16:36
  going to go over. But at least Kentucky is going to lose. And I would I'll trade most bets for
• 16:41
  Kentucky to lose to a 50 or whatever they were 13. But both ended up happy. It went under by like a
• 16:50
  point and a half and Kentucky lost. Hell yes. Let's see. Yeah, Oakland was I like seeing NC
• 17:01
  State like beat them and like go on is like this is nice. This is like, okay, this is like the
• 17:07
  better team won here. But also, if Oakland would have won that NC State game, that also would
• 17:15
  have been very acceptable for for I guess viewing because I mean, like, I don't know, like,
• 17:23
  NC State has just been so hot that it's not it's like almost like they're not a Cinderella,
• 17:29
  you know, like, yeah, they're on a Levin seed. But it doesn't I guess it doesn't feel like it.
• 17:35
  I don't know. Yeah, they're not like, they're not like St. Pete when they went to the elite eight.
• 17:40
  They're not like they're they're like a good team. That's just like,
• 17:45
  like kind of like shit down the stretch, but are white hot right now. I give it to me.
• 17:50
  Oakland did cover though. So Oh, yeah. Didn't they they only made one shot in overtime. And it was
• 17:59
  like under a minute left or something like that to cover. Yep. Pretty sure that hit the over two.
• 18:05
  It was no over one of them before. Oh, did it? I remember it was over time. No, it
• 18:12
  during overtime or during overtime. But yeah, it wasn't okay. Yeah, I remember watching I was like,
• 18:18
  this is nowhere close. Don't you have a prayer? What was I thinking? And then went to I was like,
• 18:23
  if it goes to overtime, maybe I'll have a chance and went to overtime. And it hit and I was like,
• 18:29
  oh, that was shout out the game. We got it. So I had my back on that one. Yeah. Oakland was
• 18:35
  really America's team this weekend. Yeah, and they will be they will be missed. Yeah. It that
• 18:46
  first day when they when they beat Kentucky, it was like this, this goal key guy just laces threes
• 18:54
  and has a massive melon. And it was like, this is the team that America can get behind to make
• 19:04
  up make a little run here. But some guy that's going to be filing taxes for people in like two
• 19:11
  years, we're just torch and lottery picks. It was awesome. That guy shot 23s in that first game.
• 19:19
  We don't talk about that hasn't been talked about enough. 20. There's some teams that don't take
• 19:29
  23. Yeah, he only had eight two point attempts in the season. That's like insane. Yeah.
• 19:42
  I want to know how many times he dribbled the ball like during the season.
• 19:46
  Because I think I saw him bounce the basketball twice against Kentucky.
• 19:51
  I mean, when you got it, you got it. And he immediately got like three NIL deals right after
• 19:58
  as as he should. What was the Turbo tax to that was awesome.
• 20:05
  It's probably a future employee. We've got a position lined up for you here once once you're
• 20:13
  once you're graduated. We'll take care of you. Don't worry. That's awesome. Good luck to that guy.
• 20:21
  Good luck to him. Good luck. Let's see what other what other things happened.
• 20:28
  Dayton coming back from like 20 down in seven minutes or whatever. That was insane. Yeah.
• 20:37
  I wish I had had Dayton money line so I could have shared that feeling with you. But it was it was
• 20:42
  awesome. Yeah. I was sitting right next to Will to when that when they were coming back. He was
• 20:47
  losing his mind. It was why it was crazy man. That was just an all time unraveling by Nevada.
• 20:59
  That yeah. Because we had kind of stopped paying attention because it was a dog walk.
• 21:07
  And then was it you or me. We look over like Dayton it could have denied. We're like I mean
• 21:13
  it's over. It ain't over. There's like three minutes left. I think it's a dying point game.
• 21:19
  I was like OK sure. And then yeah like fucking one. Let's put this on the big TV.
• 21:27
  We had. What was y'all's worst beats this weekend.
• 21:32
  Oh which one will a grambling state. Oh they that they missed covering 27 and a half by by the
• 21:46
  hook. Yeah that that was oh my god. Then some like walk on from Purdue hit some bullshit three.
• 21:55
  Yeah. Yeah that was not very very fun. And it was man. And it was just such a big number.
• 22:08
  And I it wasn't it wasn't like last year was like Purdue may lose. This is like a this is a huge
• 22:13
  number. This is a 16 seed but this is a huge number. And I got it. I got to take this
• 22:21
  because I didn't want to take the the under in that one. And I you know I wanted to have a little
• 22:29
  fun. Take a big take a big underdog. But man that was that was brutal. That was my that was my biggest.
• 22:40
  My baddest beat if you will. What was yours Chris WKU Marquette over was probably
• 22:47
  I don't know if that's necessarily like a bad beat but it was a rough loss because that was cruising
• 22:53
  until like the final five minutes. I had another one. Oh it's not a bad beat but it was rough.
• 23:00
  Oregon plus five and a half against Creighton. And they took to double overtime and the entire
• 23:08
  second half and both over times. I think two guys scored almost all their points. And they just ran
• 23:16
  out of gas. And it was it sucks. They were also my spin the wheel team for MGM. Yeah. And they were
• 23:28
  ahead too. And like I was like it's gonna happen. And then nope. But yeah. No really like heart knock
• 23:38
  on wood. No heartbreakers yet. But some some rough ones. John what did you have any mine was Marquette
• 23:48
  minus four and a half against Colorado. First game of Sunday. You know I was already down
• 23:55
  from Saturday Marquette one by four. And I was just like I can't do this. I can't take this anymore.
• 24:03
  It's it's yeah it's not so much a bad beat just like a piling on of bad feelings. Yeah. It's like
• 24:14
  you're already down. And it's like Colorado made it a great game the second half. And you're like
• 24:20
  holy shit. And then yeah. Yeah. And like that was the first game of Sunday. And I only won one bet
• 24:29
  that day. So I was like this day is going to be terrible. As soon as that bet settled I was like
• 24:34
  this is going to be awful. When I I took Mississippi State Moneyline two and that first game
• 24:42
  it's just immediately was like well this is a loser. It was like after they kept it close for
• 24:49
  about 10 minutes. And then after that I think Michigan State was up by like 15 at the half.
• 24:54
  I was like well on to Duquesne I guess. I was like I've been looking forward to this exact moment
• 25:05
  for so long and for it to be immediately a loser. I was like well I guess it's going to be that kind
• 25:13
  of tournament. What else happened the Colorado Florida game. Did you all watch that?
• 25:19
  I believe I had the under in that game. And I also had the under. 201 and a half.
• 25:33
  No. But yeah I had Colorado Moneyline and then that was one that was cruising there up by like
• 25:42
  15 five minutes left something like that. Florida just I forget the guy's name from Florida just
• 25:48
  could not miss. Like he would just take the ball to the court and just chuck it and just every time
• 25:54
  he would go and I was like this motherfucker is going to kill me. Because at the time I was like
• 25:58
  teetering on the verge of a really bad day. And then Colorado wins on a buzzer meter and I lost my
• 26:03
  damn mind and it was awesome. Hell yeah. And it fought Florida so. Yeah I think I had when I filled
• 26:14
  up my bracket I had whoever whoever was going to end up playing Florida to beat him. And
• 26:22
  that happened. You know that was nice. Let's see. Morehead State was a little bit of a heartbreaker.
• 26:34
  That was bullshit. Yeah it just that they they were keeping up with Illinois and
• 26:42
  from a lot of things that I've read like Illinois was like kind of a fraud.
• 26:47
  And I'm like all right let's rock. Morehead State. And they kept with them and then half
• 26:55
  time happened and it just just went down. I had the under in that one and that was nowhere close.
• 27:03
  I think it went over like eight minutes into the second half. I was straight up lied to by just the
• 27:12
  college basketball media about Morehead State. Everything I read like they play slow. They're
• 27:18
  going to want to muck it up. There is like they're going to just play defense. They're going to hold
• 27:21
  Illinois and that was a trap. Like they scored like almost damn near 50 in the first half.
• 27:30
  Everything I was told was like they might not score 50 the whole game. And I would just blatantly
• 27:35
  lied to. I would like reparation. Illinois just could not miss the people. They couldn't miss either.
• 27:46
  I mean that was going to that was I hated everything about that game. Eight minutes and I was like
• 27:52
  yeah this doesn't have a fucking shot. Illinois is really good. I like them in the I like them this
• 27:58
  week honestly. Yeah. Another I guess kind of bad beat I had was I had Grand Canyon versus
• 28:07
  Alabama like plus seven or something. And they were up with like five minutes left in the game.
• 28:17
  They were up like by two and I was like cool. Surely they won't lose by 10. And then they did.
• 28:26
  It quickly became them losing by 10. They went on like a yeah they went on like a 13 to three run
• 28:36
  to get the lead and then a 13 to three run the other way. They look bad. Like I only watched the
• 28:46
  last few minutes. I was watching something else. I remember but they came it looked like shit.
• 28:52
  They looked like they didn't have any plays. They were like let's roll the ball out there and
• 28:58
  just see what happens. Yes. That was not fun. But I tell you what one is was fun was J.M.
• 29:10
  Mu Wisconsin. That one was like Wisconsin didn't even have a prayer honestly. Oh no. They I mean
• 29:19
  I guess they had players that were playing basketball on the Wisconsin team but they were
• 29:26
  they were somewhere else mentally because they it was really just a shit kicking from the start
• 29:35
  and you know good for the Dukes good for those guys.
• 29:37
  And also took J.M.U. against Duke. That did not work. That was kind of the exact opposite.
• 29:49
  Yes. Yeah. The exact opposite. I think that that first day of the second round it was like all
• 29:58
  right I'm fishing for for the Cinderella to like make a little run here. Who's who's the upset
• 30:07
  that happened two days ago that I can rock with or the next round or two. And I guess it was ended
• 30:18
  up being being in C state. But again like I like I sort of explained earlier didn't feel like they
• 30:25
  were really a Cinderella just because they've been so incredibly hot. Didn't every favorite win
• 30:33
  was it Saturday or Sunday when all the favorites won except for Clemson I think I think Clemson won
• 30:40
  but they were like a plus 140. Yeah. So yeah it was like the dogs had like a huge day the day before
• 30:48
  and I think it was like I forget how much like you'd be up like 17 units or something like that
• 30:56
  if you just bet underdog money lines and then they immediately lost every single game the next
• 31:02
  the next day. Yeah that was that was not what I had in store I thought would would be in store.
• 31:19
  Just I was just really fishing for that Cinderella just could not find it because didn't really
• 31:24
  happen. Yeah. Who did Yale beat Auburn. Yeah. Yale beating Auburn. I did have I did bet on
• 31:33
  Auburn but that was good for those guys. Yeah. And then they got their shit rocked.
• 31:41
  Yeah they got their shit rocked the next round by someone. San Diego state. Yeah.
• 31:48
  Yeah. So it's it's like it's almost like you get the it's turning out to be kind of perfect
• 32:03
  spit it out will Jesus. It's kind of like the first two rounds there's going to be like some
• 32:11
  big upsets but then after that it's kind of like OK the better team needs to win here.
• 32:16
  This can't just be someone who's not for real. Yeah. Building towards this for years. So that's
• 32:23
  kind of what it feels like. You know less I guess madness and more like this is this is the
• 32:31
  tournament. This is the rest. We had to get like a pretty bad round of 32 to get like a really good
• 32:39
  sweet 16. Yeah. At least on paper. Yes. They had the first round was awesome because yeah we had a
• 32:45
  couple bit like Duquesne Yale the other Oakland obviously they all won the only thing we're
• 32:53
  really missing is like a buzzer meter but that's I'm not going to complain for not getting
• 32:58
  like something like that. But yeah we had all the great upsets. There's still a couple more rounds.
• 33:03
  Oh yeah. And I'm like if we don't get one the whole tournament I can be like well that turn
• 33:07
  it sucked. But because yeah last year like we had all the underdogs were going to the sweet 16
• 33:14
  and it wasn't like that. Final four was FAU San Diego State and people were like this who gives
• 33:20
  a shit about this. Yeah. So good for good two first rounds like there was the madness and then
• 33:32
  there was like OK this is like the actual tournament where the best team goes on in their in their
• 33:37
  matchup. And so that it had like a nice blend of madness and not really madness. But yeah.
• 33:45
  But yeah. All right. Before we move on from the tournament to other things. Chris I understand
• 33:52
  that you have already placed a couple of bets. I know it is Tuesday for us recording but you
• 33:58
  all be hearing this on Thursday. We had some scheduling conflicts. But Chris go ahead and
• 34:04
  tell us your bets you've already locked in. I will. These are just the full I've placed four
• 34:10
  already for the sweet 16. This is no particular order. I have Clemson plus seven and a half
• 34:15
  against Arizona. Clemson's wide hot. They've been good to me the last two weeks.
• 34:23
  Arizona is really good. But they've also throughout the season they've dropped a couple
• 34:27
  stinkers. They lost USC the last game the regular season. They stink. So Washington State
• 34:34
  twice in the regular season. So yeah. Give me Clemson plus seven and a half. I think they'll
• 34:38
  keep within the number. And then I don't know if they're going to win but they'll keep it close.
• 34:43
  I can zag up plus five and a half against Purdue might sprinkle money line. Purdue looks like the
• 34:49
  greatest basketball team on earth right now. They just absolutely kick the shit in or kick
• 34:56
  the shit out of two teams in a row. But it was Gramley State and Utah State. The fraudulent
• 35:02
  mountain west as always. And their coach left immediately after Utah State. So it looked like
• 35:07
  he already had a foot out the door. So Jimmy Gonzaga plus five and a half might sprinkle money line.
• 35:13
  Illinois money line against Iowa State. Illinois offense is white hot. If they can keep rolling
• 35:23
  doesn't really matter how good Iowa State defense can play. They're going to make shots. And their
• 35:27
  Iowa State offense is not nearly good enough to keep up. And last one San Diego State UConn
• 35:34
  under one thirty five and a half to very very good defenses. Simple as that.
• 35:41
  So yeah. This is four of our I'm obviously going to bet probably every game in the sweet 16
• 35:47
  usually from here on out. I usually bet every game. But those are the four I've locked in right now.
• 35:51
  Oh yeah. I am also going to probably try to bet every game. Yeah. I mean why why stop now.
• 36:02
  Should it seems like you've been doing that so far. Yeah. Yeah you know it's fun. You know we're
• 36:08
  having fun. You're up. What are you talking about. No I'm just saying you know it's a lot of bets.
• 36:17
  We're having fun. Having a great time. Great. Let's see. First thoughts. What.
• 36:27
  Yeah this this week 16 looks pretty good honestly. It does. A lot of good. These are like these are
• 36:33
  these are the best teams. Yeah. Oh actually I saw it trend center play.
• 36:38
  Yeah I was Illinois. I was state Illinois over one forty five and a half. Illinois has gone over
• 36:51
  twenty four of their last twenty eight games. So I'll be taking that. Yes. Yeah they did well for
• 36:57
  me during the regular season on overs. Yeah because of that trend center play.
• 37:04
  Yeah. Yeah. Probably when we're done probably lock that in. Oh yes. Okay moving on. So Christopher I
• 37:14
  understand you are going to the Cincinnati Reds opening day. Yes sir. Boots on the ground. Boots
• 37:21
  on the ground. Talk about that. Maybe some baseball things you have to say. Go ahead.
• 37:27
  I mean I don't really have much in terms of like futures or anything in baseball
• 37:33
  because I've just been locked into March Madness lately. I'm always excited to go to opening day
• 37:38
  even though I think I've gone three or four years in a row now. I think we're one in three in those
• 37:45
  it's never fun. But we're playing the Nationals this year should win.
• 37:50
  We'll see Reds are really banged up right now. One of our best players or best young guys Matt
• 37:54
  McClain. He probably won't be playing for a few weeks which something with his elbow which that
• 38:00
  blows because this team is supposed to be good. The NL Central is down. And of course like we're
• 38:06
  just everyone's going to be hurt. I can guarantee that's what's going to happen because nothing
• 38:10
  good ever happens to the Reds. So everyone's going to get hurt. That being said Reds to win
• 38:19
  the NL Central. I'll take that. I haven't had a place to get yours yet. They were there are
• 38:25
  there are plus odds last time I checked. I have not checked in a while. But yeah. It was like plus
• 38:30
  180 I think last time I checked. So give me that Reds to win the Central. Other than that I don't
• 38:35
  only have too many more Marlins off the top of my head Marlins. I know they're expected to be pretty
• 38:43
  bad this year. They really overachieved last year. Whatever their Wintola is I'll probably take that
• 38:47
  under other than that. Oh A's Wintola under. It's going to be like 50. I think it's like 54 and a half.
• 38:57
  They they blow dude. They're going to win like 30 games. Oh God. That's really really bad.
• 39:07
  Nobody cares like nobody cares about them.
• 39:10
  They sold out. I mean if they sold out this game but they had like a reverse boycott last year
• 39:18
  because like the fans actually showed up to games to protest that like their shitbag owner.
• 39:27
  I think that was like the only game that had like a good crowd. Nobody goes to these
• 39:31
  cares. I don't see how you can care for your player. I guess like the beginning of the season you can
• 39:36
  but that's brutal. They're going to win like 30 games. It's going to suck.
• 39:44
  All right. Well hold on. Chris we need to talk about Otani. I like it. Let's do it.
• 39:55
  So from what I understand passively scrolling by this story is that people are
• 40:05
  accusing him of betting on games but he is saying that his interpreter has stolen money from him
• 40:14
  and has a severe gambling problem and is placing bets out of the money that he stole from Otani.
• 40:24
  Do you or do you not think that is a crock of shit?
• 40:27
  I don't think I hate to say it because I really want to be true. I don't think he was actually betting
• 40:37
  just everything I've read about him like even before he came to America when he was in Japan
• 40:43
  playing he was making millions of dollars and he was living in like a like a dorm room almost.
• 40:50
  So he like he's not a guy like he's very careful with his money. I don't think he was betting.
• 40:56
  That being said I do not think the interpreter stole it from him. I think his interpreter
• 41:02
  went down real bad to some like bad people because it wasn't like he was on Fandall. He was like
• 41:08
  bookies but I think he got down bad some bad people and Otani bailed him out and now it's just like
• 41:15
  he's just saying he stole it because it can't be like yeah I was just giving my friend four and
• 41:21
  a half mil to gamble with. Gotcha. Okay because I haven't really understood this whole thing.
• 41:29
  Well they were playing in Japan or Korea excuse me when this whole thing broke and the day after
• 41:37
  it broke like Otani's interpreter is in the dugout with him because like he always says
• 41:43
  and they were like chatting it up like boys. So I would have a hard time believing he was
• 41:50
  chump that chummy with a guy he just found out stole four and a half mil from him.
• 41:54
  So I think I think his boy was in trouble and he bailed him out. Word. Okay. So you're saying
• 42:02
  that he is not a fan of the show. Maybe he is. I don't know if he's a fellow degenerate.
• 42:10
  I wish like hell he was because that would just be hilarious. Baseball's golden child. Their future
• 42:18
  of the future face of the league for the next decade is betting on the horizon league conference
• 42:26
  tournament. Nothing would make me happier but I just don't think it's true. Is there any openly
• 42:34
  degenerate MLB player? I mean former but yeah Pete Rose. I meant like current. Oh no because
• 42:44
  that's you can't do that. Okay. I mean I'm sure there's some guys that like go to Vegas and stuff
• 42:49
  but none that I didn't really know of. Man you can't bet on the rules aren't it. If you can't
• 42:58
  bet on sports at all and basically like I know NFL you can't at least not the team facility. I have
• 43:03
  no idea what the I assume MLB has similar rules but yeah they set that precedent back in the 80s
• 43:09
  with Pete Rose being banned for life so I'd be very surprised if anyone else like it is openly
• 43:15
  just betting on like basketball or something. Just show Hey O'Tonny showing up to the sportsbook
• 43:23
  casually dropping a grand on the likers. I like I said I really wanted that. A mill. A mill yeah.
• 43:32
  Did you see Pete Rose someone asked him about it. Like what do you think of the O'Tonny thing is like
• 43:38
  well shit if I had an interpreter back in the or back in the 80s whenever he got banned for life
• 43:43
  like I'd probably be in the hall of fame right now.
• 43:50
  But I mean I love Pete Rose one of my favorite players of all time. He's not he's not like a good
• 43:57
  dude. Like they call like the game. He's done other stuff. He's not like a good guy so I'm not
• 44:06
  going to lose sleep over him not being in the hall. I've kind of I guess I've kind of put that fight
• 44:12
  to bed but yeah he's still one of my favorites. It's come to terms with it. Yeah it's never going
• 44:18
  to happen. It's bullshit but it's never going to happen. So okay back to the regular scheduled
• 44:31
  program. What is there any MLB trends this week. Is it open Friday for everyone. Thursday
• 44:41
  Thursday. Yeah well maybe not every single team.
• 44:50
  Actually maybe it is every single team. I don't know but if not every team then like 90 percent
• 44:57
  Dodgers and Padres aren't playing because they're getting back from Korea but everyone else I
• 45:01
  believe is playing. Okay okay right on. I probably won't be taking the MLB just yet
• 45:13
  just because it will be during March Madness but probably midweek when there's no basketball
• 45:19
  that'll be like yes. Yeah yes. There are a few oh sorry to cut you off. There are a few good trends
• 45:26
  on trends in right now for the MLB. Let me pull up I was looking at earlier let me pull up a few
• 45:32
  of my favorites. One was Orioles home openers. The Orioles have won nine of their last 10 home
• 45:38
  openers six in a row. It's kind of juiced they're minus 180 against the Angels. If I get like a
• 45:47
  some sort of boost on a book or I might just take a minus one and a half honestly because the Orioles
• 45:53
  are going to they're going to be so bad or the Angels are going to be so bad excuse me. So I'm
• 45:58
  going to take the Orioles and then this white I didn't know this this white socks a day game under
• 46:05
  nine of last 10 white socks day games have gotten under six in a row so they're playing
• 46:11
  the Tigers under eight right now I'll probably take that.
• 46:16
  And then there is one for the Nationals who are playing the Reds so I will not be taking that one
• 46:22
  I'll probably take Reds money line. I mean I got it. I'm there. I might take over two.
• 46:30
  Are you going to play you're going to have a bet in there. That's what I don't know. I thought
• 46:35
  about doing that last time I was there but it was a special and opening day. It's a madhouse.
• 46:40
  So if I can get to like a kiosk or a window whatever they have I've never even I've been inside
• 46:46
  but not enough to get a good look. If they if I can get to a window then yeah I will but
• 46:54
  I'm not going to be like waiting line for hours. It's a place Reds money line
• 47:01
  they're probably going to fucking lose. They always do when I go see them.
• 47:05
  Okay. What's next.
• 47:14
  Let's see. Speaking of just gamblers and hot water.
• 47:19
  You see that stuff was like that. The guy that plays the Raptors.
• 47:23
  No I didn't hear about this. Fuck what is his name. I'll look it up there. Yeah he's been
• 47:29
  under investigation because there's two games where his prop totals got like hammered before
• 47:37
  like his prop under Scott hammered before game time and this guy like he's like a role
• 47:42
  player. He like nobody really gives a shit about him and both games this happened. He checked in
• 47:50
  played like four minutes maybe got like a couple shots up didn't really do anything and I was like
• 47:54
  oh I'm hurt. Take me out and then all those like I think both times that happened all of his prop
• 48:02
  unders were like the biggest wonders of the day for whatever I think it's fandal whatever book it was.
• 48:09
  Yeah. A little suspect. Yeah and this guy like I said he's some scrub so he's the NBA might make
• 48:18
  an example of him. He might be looking at the Pete Rose treatment. Yeah damn. Hate to be that guy.
• 48:25
  Yeah one game it was like he said like he had like an eye injury or something like that.
• 48:33
  And one I think he was like it was like an illness I think those stuff you can't really like prove
• 48:39
  you can't be like get like an x-ray and be like oh your elbow's fine. Yeah. So classic.
• 48:46
  Yeah. He's I think he's getting he's gonna get banned for life would be my guess.
• 48:52
  It's just it's just enough of an excuse to to make it believable. Yeah. It's like when you stay
• 48:58
  on score like oh my stomach doesn't feel good. Yeah. Like you can't like you just kind of have to
• 49:05
  believe your your shitty kid. Take him at his word. The NBA is shitty kid. I didn't find this guy's
• 49:16
  name because now it's going to bug me. Other known degenerate Calvin Ridley on the Titans. I don't
• 49:23
  know if we covered that because I know it was okay. I think we talked about it but yeah I like it.
• 49:30
  And then then we got we traded for a luxurious need. Boner alert.
• 49:40
  Boner alert. That was pretty sick. I like that a lot. I like this trade and this deal a lot.
• 49:48
  We didn't give up really anything to get him. Yeah we didn't. And he got paid and I'm like
• 49:57
  oh this guy is he's he could be a difference maker. He's really really good.
• 50:07
  We just need a decent player in order to make a difference. Yeah.
• 50:12
  He's better than decent. Exactly.
• 50:17
  I just hope he's he's okay because like yeah he had that need thing I think.
• 50:23
  Yeah it made me nervous. I was like this deal is too good. Yeah but I mean hopefully
• 50:31
  with a deal like this they're like okay you're good to go. Like for oh yeah this amount of time
• 50:37
  that we're paying you we're hoping you will be good and not be injured. Won't be like not have it
• 50:45
  a lingering injury I guess. Who is that. Oh that linebacker we signed a few years ago. He's
• 50:53
  played for the Falcons. Vic Beasley. Yeah fuck that guy. Just highway robbery. Oh yeah. He robbed us
• 51:03
  blind. He says he was hurt. He wasn't hurt. He just didn't want to play football anymore.
• 51:11
  Like nine mil check. He played in the XFL last year.
• 51:15
  Good for him I guess.
• 51:26
  Is there anything else. I mean preys are still hot.
• 51:30
  They're currently down. They're currently down to to Vegas right now. That's no bueno.
• 51:36
  No but I've seen them come back like this before so I'm holding out hope that
• 51:46
  so I'm I'm actually traveling this weekend myself. I'm going to Colorado visiting some
• 51:53
  friends out there but it just so happens that the Preds are playing in Colorado that Saturday
• 52:00
  for a little matinee game which will be awesome which I will be going to. Yep.
• 52:06
  Boots on the ground. Let's go. Boots on the ground.
• 52:09
  Got a bunch of world travelers this weekend. I know. Well where are you going.
• 52:15
  I'm going to a comedy show at at Zanies in Nashville. Oh yeah and then I'm going to stay home the next
• 52:21
  day and have garage beers. Listen to 90s country. Maybe. That sounds like a sick weekend.
• 52:31
  Nice. Watch some college basketball for that. Yeah. It doesn't sound half bad.
• 52:36
  Yeah. I just hook up put a TV in the garage. You have the technology. We have Wi-Fi.
• 52:44
  We do. Hmm. I get some neighbors come to join. Yeah. They see your setup. Yeah. That's a lot of work
• 52:50
  though. It'll be worth it. It would be. Yeah I guess so. We'll see. Probably not. We are
• 52:58
  getting to the perfect outdoor beer weather right now. So I'm very excited.
• 53:05
  Yeah. I'm not doing much this weekend. I'm very much looking forward to the airport beer.
• 53:12
  Nothing. Nothing like a good airport. That's that's a top tier beer. Yeah.
• 53:17
  Yeah. Time to fly. Like four or 15. PM. So yeah PM. Okay. So so late enough to be like this is
• 53:28
  justifiable. It's been $15 on three beers. Not a bad way to get three beers. Nope.
• 53:40
  Yeah. That three beer buzz getting on the flight. It's like oh man this is why isn't everybody drunk.
• 53:48
  Why is it everybody buzzed when they when they fly. Everybody at an airport should be drunk.
• 53:53
  Like it doesn't matter. Who cares. Yeah. This this isn't like the the 50s anymore where you're
• 54:02
  wearing your Sunday best showing up in a suit and tie. Now people are wearing sweat pants and no
• 54:10
  deodorant and it's just mayhem. Just be drunk. Like yeah. Who cares. They took away smoking on
• 54:17
  planes. At least you can do is be drunk. Thanks a lot. Bin Laden. Last time I was on a plane
• 54:26
  the guy like the flight attendants of Chip Reader didn't work. So he was like you know what
• 54:35
  these are on the house. I was like shit. I'm going to fly all the time.
• 54:42
  Get free beers. Let's rock.
• 54:49
  We got an opening day beer. A garage beer. An airport beer. This sounds like a great
• 54:55
  weekend for the boys even though we're all going to be separated.
• 55:02
  I'm really looking forward to this now. This is going to be awesome. Yeah.
• 55:08
  Okay. We have to make sure to post all of our beer drinking activities.
• 55:16
  At least the first one maybe not the last few. Oh no I I can't I'm not going to post all of my
• 55:22
  beer activities because we are doing like yeah well we're doing like a brewery tour or like a
• 55:31
  brewery hop because there's so many breweries in Colorado and we're doing like 10 in like one day.
• 55:41
  So I will not be posting all those. I will be probably wrecked. Responsibly. Responsibly of
• 55:49
  course because I'm not driving because I don't have a car. Oh yeah. Okay. He doesn't have a car
• 55:59
  because he went one and twelve on Sunday. No I won't have a car because I will be flying.
• 56:06
  I didn't sell my car.
• 56:07
  After I said that I was like I should probably clear that up.
• 56:19
  Maybe we were just it's okay. Something about how bad he was doing and now he doesn't have a car.
• 56:27
  I have a car guys it's fine. I have a roof over my head in the car and
• 56:32
  I drive a Dodge Stratus. I drive a Dodge Stratus. People are scared of me.
• 56:41
  People respect me. I have power. Very important.
• 56:49
  Okay well that's enough preferences. I think it might be time to shut her down
• 56:54
  unless there's anything to add.
• 56:55
  I don't think so. Okay. All right we will check you next week. Check out the Trend Center app. Follow
