Transcript
- 0:00Right now, Rafael Asparsa, my bookie dot ag get in and play on
- 0:03your radio. Sparsa, what's going on? That much is going out with
- 0:07you? I'll just trying to make the week. I appreciate you moving around
- 0:09for me, that's right. I apologize for missing you last week. Oh
- 0:13that's okay, that's all right. You had stuff going on. Hey,
- 0:15before we get into March madness, I want to get your take on as
- 0:18Charlie Baker deal with the NCAA trying to ban prop bets in college sports.
- 0:25Where are you at on this? I understand why, but you're putting toothpaste
- 0:31back into the tube, so it takes I totally understand why. I get
- 0:37college kids. You should we I mean before you can pet college kids on
- 0:41prop bets many many moons ago and nowallis and you can I understand it.
- 0:46As the same guy, the same person that does betting for our odds for
- 0:51both sides, US and global. They will make my global business really good.
- 0:55People would still want because the global books are going to still put it
- 0:58out there. So now people are going to complain about the Global books still
- 1:00doing action on it and the USA books don't on it. So again you're
- 1:04putting two paste back in the two but totally totally understanding. Yeah, and
- 1:11I'm not so sure. I mean, I know some states have gotten on
- 1:12board, but I don't know that they get this whole thing done right.
- 1:15I mean some states, I'm sure that we'll kick on this, you would
- 1:18think. I mean, each state has different rules, so I can see
- 1:22some state thing yesterdear, I'll use Alabama or even though in Mississippi, Mississippi
- 1:29might jump on board and say, wait, we're not taking that, but
- 1:32Vegas will continue taking that or another state. So it would not shock me
- 1:37if you see a couple of states say yes, we're on board. New
- 1:40Jersey won't take nearer to you. They won't. Let's get you take on
- 1:44some of these games. Tomorrow and Friday. Alabama takes on North Carolina.
- 1:48And by the way, what's up with these late tips. I send a
- 1:49lot of people griping about that we've got some late tip offs Thursday and Friday.
- 1:53Who you East Coast people take a nap? I'm tired of East Coast
- 1:59people can play think about times and stuff like that. What about the California
- 2:02people of the West Coast, people who are working during game time, So
- 2:06I don't want to hear about times and stuff. But I like, I
- 2:09think I staid on your show. I have North Carolina cutting down the nets.
- 2:13I have a nice ticket of seventeen and one to cut down the nets.
- 2:16I like them against Alabama. So you got North Carolina cutting the nets
- 2:21down? Yes, that's who I've got as well. North Carolina cut them
- 2:25down. So if they take care of Alabama, they'll move on. How
- 2:29real is well? Who's real er in the Vegas lines you guys put out?
- 2:32I'm looking at pen gaming right here, would say that they're pretty close.
- 2:37Illinois takes on Iowa State Thursday, nine o nine tip. The Iowa
- 2:40State Cyclones are one and a half point favorite in this ball game, total
- 2:43one forty six. Who do you like? I always think must be the
- 2:46quietest number two team I've ever seen in that tournament. I don't understand why
- 2:52they get no love. I like Iowa was saying this one. I think
- 2:53they can really make some noise and shock a couple of teams. I think
- 2:58they'd beat Illinois State On Friday takes on Marquette. That's a Friday tip at
- 3:01six oh nine pm. Marquette six and a half point favorite, one to
- 3:06fifty one the total NC State on this Cinderella run. They ran through the
- 3:08ACC tournament first and second round. Is it in Friday or do they advance?
- 3:14It ends bright? I think the slipper comes off and it's six o
- 3:16nine too late for the East Coast people. Are they eating with the family?
- 3:20So give me Marquette. I think this slipper comes off. What about
- 3:23back to Thursday, Clemson takes on Arizona, the other underdog in the ACC
- 3:28Arizona seven and a half point favorite, total one to fifty two. Who
- 3:30you got? I like Clemson plus the points on this one, but I
- 3:34think Arizona sneaks out of victory. Yukon eleven and a half points over San
- 3:39Diego State. Are the them that much better than San Diego State this year?
- 3:44No? I mean everyone's thinking, oh look, how good connect Get
- 3:46played so far? In turprement. They beat a Cologne in round one,
- 3:50Stenson, and they beat up a bad Northwestern team who had two of their
- 3:53star guys injured. Coming in this tournament. I think you kind sneaks by,
- 3:59but give me the plus. I'm oping this one goes up to twelve,
- 4:01which might I like Stanton Eagle State and this plus the points, Rapelos
- 4:05bars and my bookie dot ag On a Wednesday, get in and play Talking
- 4:09in CAA tournament. Back at it tomorrow Friday night, Creighton takes on Tennessee
- 4:14blue Jays two and a half point dogs to the Tennessee Volunteers totals at one
- 4:17forty four and it should be a good one. Baseball starts tomorrow. That's
- 4:20where I'm going to Blue Jays in this game. I like creating over Tensay.
- 4:24I think the three ball is going to be hitting when not be shocked
- 4:27if it's a little bit uptempo game. I like creating the upset Tennessee Duke
- 4:31Duke in Houston Talk with David Glenn out the Great State of North Carolina,
- 4:35Last Hour David Glenn Show has been on in that part of the world for
- 4:39several decades. He likes Duke now he's an acc guy. He likes Duke
- 4:43versus Houston. Who do you like? Wait, twin brother is a big
- 4:46Dukie fan, so it's really going to be hard for me to cheer for
- 4:48Duke. I think this was a close one. I think Duke can sneak
- 4:53by this one. If this is a high offensive game like Texas A and
- 4:57M play that, I think Duke advances. If it's a low scoring game,
- 5:00wins. I'm gonna say Duke advances and Gonzaga nine straight years in the
- 5:03Sweet sixteen or five and a half point dog to Purdue total one fifty four.
- 5:08Does it end Friday for Gonzaga or do they advance it to Sunday.
- 5:13I don't think Purdue would play this well unto the first two games. Edie
- 5:15just looks unstoppable. If the big man from Gonzaia can stretch the the court
- 5:20out and hit some threes, and the Gonzaga upsets Perdue. But if if
- 5:24Edie's just too powerful standing Perdue wins, I'm gonna say Gonzaga covers the Purdue
- 5:29advances. Speaking of baseball, where where's where are you at on this so
- 5:33tiny thing? Give me the highs, give me the lows? Is he
- 5:36in trouble? What's gonna happen? I have two MC feelings. This reminds
- 5:42me of Michael Jordan when his all of a sudden he left for go play
- 5:45baseball, when everyone kind of thought he got suspended for two years for gambling.
- 5:47YEP, that's the bad side of it. The good side of it,
- 5:50I think people don't realize how much money O Tany has. He's getting
- 5:55eighty million dollars, probably from Japan from his endorsements over there. I can
- 6:00guarantee you he has more than two people that know his passwords, is checking
- 6:03account, his savings account. It would not be shocked me that the gully
- 6:08just did steal all his money in bed place bets. If old Tony did
- 6:12place bets, I do believe it was probably just maybe at soccer. I
- 6:15don't think it was. Japan has really strict rules. I'm betting their league,
- 6:19so I don't think he would come to America and start betting our leagues.
- 6:23I do believe there was probably just soccer, maybe some other mix for
- 6:27sprinkles on there. But I don't think he plays the bets, and I
- 6:30can guarantee you other people around his entourage have his account numbers. So what
- 6:35thing happens to him, or does anything happen to him? I think it's
- 6:40all depends on what the FEDS find out. I think that if it does
- 6:43come out there he was placing bets, I think it was only soccer.
- 6:46I think he maybe get a a suspension or a slap on their rest.
- 6:50But it's gonna be very hard. It all depends on what Bowyer says with
- 6:55his eviction, because another thing people can keep on forgetting you can't bet in
- 6:58California. So everything he was doing was illegally. Now if he was doing
- 7:01this in Mississippi, Vegas and all that, it's legal the best sports there.
- 7:05So you have to look, they have to throw that in factor that
- 7:08you cannot bet sports in California. Everything else is illegal. So and all
- 7:13this depends on what Bowyer says under oath and all that. But it's gonna
- 7:16be very interesting. So what do you think about Pete Rose? Of course
- 7:20you know he's got this. This pings him instantly and he's like, look,
- 7:25if I had an interpreter in the seventies and eighties, I'd be in
- 7:27Hall of Fame. Well, Pete Yolis used to tell me and my supervisors
- 7:31when we would see him at Caesar's Palace, when I used to put to
- 7:34put the Emerald downs on the big screen, when he would play the horses
- 7:36or a dog tracker and all that. He always used to tell us if
- 7:40he told the truth the first time he wouldn't be in as much trouble if
- 7:43he was. Now, Hey, tell everybody else what they can play and
- 7:45get into. Dude, it's a crazy time. It's Marks Vanis is still
- 7:49Hurst sweet sixteen baseball throws his first pitches Tomorrow. Cubs pay the Rangers.
- 7:54Cubs win Themorrow, they start to a perfect winning streak to win the World
