25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: I am Chad Moman, Chief Content Officer of the Action Network.

26

Speaker 1: I am joined in this episode as I am by

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: every episode. In every episode. Bye, my co host, my companion,

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: my colleague, my bff, Mike Padre professional better, Simon Hunter. Hello,

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: so I am in Hello chat. How you doing, brother?

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm good and listen. We're gonna have Stucky come on

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the podcast. You know, the Gang, the Quartet, the Wolfpack,

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Me you, Matt, Mitchell Stuckey. We're together again and you

33
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: were missing this past weekend from when the wolf Pack

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: got together in the New York, New Jersey area. And

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring Stucky on. We're gonna talk Final four.

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's got some opinions on Lamar Jackson because

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: he loves the Ravens. He can tell us a little

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: bit about how to hedge because this Final four has

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: been so unpredictable. But we're also going to talk a

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: little bit about this weekend because there was a little

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: bit of some insanity. I'm just glad stuck he made

42
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: it to the show. My man, how are you? Oh,

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah? I just got my voice back,

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: so that was good. Otherwise I would have had to

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: take a rain check. So I'm not at full volume.

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: But I know our Matt Mitchell, producer, also lost his voice,

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really need a voice. It's got to

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: give a couple instructions at the beginning of shows. I

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: need a voice to talk on these shows. So I

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: was happy. My wife made me some like tea, a

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: bunch of tea with like throat clearing, I don't know qualities,

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: some some nick that she gave me. And I was

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: drinking hot tea with honey and stuff yesterday. So I

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: feel a lot better today. Somehow made my flight on

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Sunday morning about a month ago. One of those things

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: were like you You're like, all right, I'll get a

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: flight for this time right way before the trip, and

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: then during the trip You're like, wow, I made a

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: big mistake. But I wanted to get home before the

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: game started on Sunday at two thirty so I, you know,

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: grabbed an eight am flight, couldn't find a director to

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: do a layover. Somehow, by the grace of God, I

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: made the flight. So yeah, it's good to be back

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Final four. We're winding down in March madness here, so yeah,

65
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: it's good times this weekend. Though. Well, your bride, big

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: mad Baller, who I've met, we've all met and is lovely,

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: is much nicer than mine. Because when I called mine

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: picture from somebody with Stucky doing car bombs. So I

84
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: do want to know, Stucky, at what time did you

85
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: go to bed on Sunday? Sunday was three three o'clock,

86
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, it was. It was Sunda rise, sunrise, three o'clock.

87
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I had to get some sleep before getting up and

88
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: then getting my ride to the airport at LaGuardia, which

89
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: thank god is so nice now and so efficient, so

90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: like I was able to fly through LaGuardia. Yeah, so

91
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: it was three for three right about. Had to take

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: a thirty six hour break, which I'll never live down.

93
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: He had one job that weekend, which was to come

94
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: to drink. I'm doing shows in the morning, live shows,

95
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: so yeah I was. I was giving Chris some shit

96
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: for that, but yes, it was. It was long we

97
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: get out. There's the thing, like, you go, I meet

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: all these people. I get all these people that I've

99
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: never met that have been following me for a while,

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll tweet about my nights out and

101
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: we during football seas, I do like a rally car bomb.

102
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, this day's looking rough, it's time

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: for a car bomb. Hopefully turn around. Well, if you're

104
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: in a room full of people, that and luckily the

105
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: two bets that I gave we emailed everyone. The two

106
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: bets that I had on Saturday were Yukon and fau

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: so that on Sunday or Saturday should say. So that worked.

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: That worked out, but because it would have been scared

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 1: be in a room with five hundred people who followed

110
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: your bet. Usually it's like on Twitter and I hear

111
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: about it, but like in the same room as everyone.

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: So that worked out. But then there's a bunch of

113
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: people in the in the same room as you that

114
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: want to do a car bomb with you. And eventually

115
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: had to go take a seat in the corner of

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: the bar, and I forget what I was sitting with them,

117
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: might have been Christina or someone. I was like, I

118
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: need to get it, I need to take a break,

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I need to get away. There's only so many car

120
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: bombs I can do. So but it was worth it. It

121
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: It was a great time. It was a great turnout.

122
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, well there's only took there's two games on Saturday,

123
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: we got Zarolo has the opening MLB covered. I'll catch

00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: up on baseball next week. So this is a good

125
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: week to recover and be a little behind on some

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: of the stuff. Well, you know, a good way to recover,

127

Speaker 1: my credit, I got to the bar at four thirty.

156
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: I didn't leave till eleven. And for someone like me

157
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: at a bar where we were all yelling at the

158
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: top of our lungs, because I think the average age

159
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: of this bar might have been the people in this

160
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: bar might have been twenty three years old. It's like

161
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the bar that you go to when you first get

162
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: out of college, and you know I'm older than that,

163
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: And so the music was so loud. I think the

164
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: only time I could hear myself is when me and

165
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the other old person there, Matt Mitchell were standing at

166
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: the end of the bar by the door, and we

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: were able to have one decent conversation with Mike Calabreez,

168
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: who's been on the podcast BBOC Colleague as well, and

169
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: that was about it. So we all blew our voice

170
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: out because the bar was so loud. But I do

171
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: get credit for sticking around. You know, I had some

172
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,359
Speaker 1: stamina this weekend. I agree that props appreciate that. Appreciate

173
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: that we missed Simon. Yeah, I wish I could watching

174
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: you were well watching Simon. I actually went to Vegas.

175
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: I um as much as I love you watching, I

176
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: think because that was that someone just make that up. No,

177
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: I was during the week. I went to Vegas on

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Thursday morning. I got back midday Sunday. Um, I do

179
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: love it here, but like I'm not some six pack

180
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: guy with that conserve. Like I'm a degenerate gambler who

181
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: just loved betting. So um as wish I do love

182
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: it here. I've like really missed Atlantic City, Philadelphia too.

183
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I just I missed the books, missed the action. So

184
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: I gotta gotta went to went to Vegas what they

185
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: call whatever the twelfth Island here. Um, because it's the

186
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: only place you get direct flight from Maui is to

187
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: last Las Vegas. Um, yeah, it was. It was a

188
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: good time, honestly, Like I was saying, gambling on the

189
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, gambling on the final for the not

190
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: the fun four, but the Elite eight, all of it.

191
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: It was just such a fun weekend. If you're a

192
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: better for sports, even if you're not a better. To me,

193
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: of course, I love football. There's just nothing like March marches.

194
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: It's the best, especially if you just love betting all

195
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: hours they're just there's so many sports going on all day.

196
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: So again, to me, last weekend one of the better

197
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: weekends of the year for betting wise. So no surprise,

198
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: you guys had a great time partying and Hoboken. It's

199
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: just it's just a good time to be together with

200
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: people betting. Hey, listen when the last two days and

201
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: I want to get to Final four. But I do

202
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: think this is an important it's relevant, not just because

203
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: it complements you guys, but because I think it's important

204
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: in how we frame action, which we've always talked about.

205
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: On Monday, I was speaking to a class at Bradley

206
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: University one in the sports communication department there and one

207
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: of the students who was a huge Action fan, was

208
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: talking about how much they love the content and they

209
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: love the talent, and they were talking about Stucky and

210
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: they said, you know what I love about Stucky. I

211
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: feel like if I went up to him and spoke

212
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: to him in a bar, he wouldn't judge me. He

213
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: would just tell me how to bet and make me

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: feel good about it. And that's the exact way we

215
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: describe how we want our talent to be as like

216
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: approachable and accessible in that way. And then Simon, today

217
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: I was talking to a job candidate. He said the

218
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: same exact thing about you. So I hope all of

219
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: our listeners are feeling the same way as we go

220
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: into the final four. If I can get sentimental for

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: a moment, I hope all of our listeners are feeling

222
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: the same way. Stuck. It's been a crazy final four.

223
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: You've got a Yukon future remaining. How do you feel

224
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: about that? Oh? I obviously feel good and know, by

225
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the way, is a great compliment anyone that sees me

226
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: out any time, including last weekend, I was treating if

227
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: you see me, don't have to come up to me,

228
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: which a lot of people did. My favorite were a

229
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: group of good friends Tom and Tommy from Staten Island,

230
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: and they were like, yeah, I know we can't make

231
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: it up with Tom and Tom, but yeah, we have

232
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: a if you listen to our podcast Big Bets on Campus,

233
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: which will have our preview out later in the week.

234
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: We had five futures this year that we, you know,

235
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: each week we would all bring one of the table

236
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: vote on it in Yukon was one that we had

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: at twenty two twenty three to one, which I have

238
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: some of it as well. Now they're the overwhelming favorite.

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: I think it's some books. They're minus one twenty minus

240
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: one thirty I think I saw, and so yeah, I

241
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna They're clearly the best team left on

242
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: some of the analytical sites. They're now up to number

243
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: one in the country and they're five and a half

244
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: point favorites against some a Miami team that look there,

245
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: this is a team that all they do is cover

246
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: and win, is underdogs, and their offense is playing really well.

247
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: Their defense is a ton of issues, but their best

248
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: defense is just more offense and that they're they're just

249
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: putting ninety up on everyone. It's pretty crazy. But this

250
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: is what I tell everyone that asked me. I mean,

251
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: the biggest question, the question that I get most frequently

252
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: by far, is hey, I have this future. What should

253
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: I do? How do I hedge? Well, a lot of

254
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: times people ask this way too soon, like you can't hedge?

255
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: Usually can't hedge a future in the sweet sixteen. You

256
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: gotta wait. It gets it adds up quickly if you

257
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: do the map. But the thing I always tell people is, look,

258
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: if you're not doing this, even if you are doing

259
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: this pressure, if you're doing this recreationally and it's not

260
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: going to change your life, the right answers usually let

261
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: it go. Now you want to ask yourself why why

262
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: did you place it in the first place? What were

263
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: you expecting? Did something change right? Was there an injury?

264
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: Do you not like the matchup? In that case, maybe

265
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: you want to hedge a little. Is it a ton

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: of money and it will help you? You got these

267
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: questions I asked. I'm going to sound like a financial advisor,

268
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: because that's really I have to find out so many things.

269
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: What's your risk aversion level, what's your financial situation? What

270
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: will this money mean to you? So I get it?

271
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: If you want to just you know, betting a lot

272
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: of it is like met staying mentally stable. So if

273
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: you want to put a little bit on something just

274
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that you return your initial amount, that's fine. Now.

275
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: One thing that I do like to do at times,

276
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: based on how what I make the number is go

277
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: for a middle. So Ukon's going to be a five

278
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: and a half six point favorite here. If you want

279
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: to take a little bit off of and you have

280
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: a Yukon future, you can take um, you know, Miami

281
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: plus five and a half plus six, and you can,

282
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, for the amount that you bet the future on,

283
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: and you can hope that Yukon wins or you know,

284
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: if they blow them out on you, you lost one

285
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: unit of your potential whatever twenty two, twenty three. But

286
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: there's a chance that you win between one and six,

287
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: and then you're winning both and then Yukon is still

288
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: moving on. But for the most part, usually just let

289
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: it ride. People get too wrapped up in wanting to hedge,

290
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: and especially way too early in college basketball in the

291
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. So whatever I have on Ukon, I'm just

292
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: letting it ride, and you know, maybe in the final

293
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll try for a middle But for now I'm just

294
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: letting it go and hopefully they can keep making shots

295
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: because if they look how they've looked so far, no

296
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: one's stopping them. Simon, I feel like something Stucky just

297
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,359
Speaker 1: said about hedging and it's a really important betting conversation

298
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: was really interesting because people feel like if they get

299
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: these opportunities, they must hedge. He's like, if you're a

300
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: recreational better assess what it means to you and then

301
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: make the decision. Like, you hedge a lot, but you're

302
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: a professional. Better give me your take on what you

303
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: just said. Yeah, I always, I almost always had. It's

304
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: very very rare. I don't, And I was sucking in

305
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: alignment in the sense to that if you don't care

306
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: about building a bank roll, if you truly are just

307
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: doing it for fun and you don't track your bank roll,

308
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: you don't you know, you don't care about tracking the

309
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and you're just doing it too. You know,

310
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: maybe if you win this bet, you'll take your wife

311
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: on a vacation whatever it is, or a boyfriend, whatever

312
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: you want to do with the money. Yes, then don't edge,

313
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Like let it ride. You made the bet and you

314
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: believed in that bet. I'm in alignment Stucky in that.

315
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: My issue is when people have positions that can make

316
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a hedge, where like an exam was this past season

317
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: on football. You know, we had the Chiefs to win

318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I also was a big Jaguars believer,

319
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: so the Jaguars went to went to play the Chiefs.

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: I think there was like a ten point spread or

321
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: something like that. I took a large position on the

322
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars spread like Stuck you're talking about here with Miami.

323
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I put a decent amount of the Jaguars at plus

324
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: ten even though I had the Chiefs to go to

325
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl both it but the Jaguars covered and the

326
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs one. So it was one of those things where

327
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: like Stuck he's talking about, there, you're kind of playing

328
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: both sides, and that's a really nice middle to be

329
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: in where you can get your money back on the

330
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: dog and if you have the favorite, like Stuck he's

331
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: talking about you as Yukon, you can just let that

332
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: future keep riding. So to me, it's all about the

333
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: number you got in the position you can take. Where

334
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a full supporter. People don't want to

335
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: hedge do whatever you want. I just I always had,

336
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: just because it's my livelihood. Like I'm building a bank

337
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: roll here. So to me, I'm with Stuck. If you

338
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: if you're a position where you can take the dog

339
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: while you're on the favorite for a long term. Um,

340
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, like Yukon's future, how do you not put

341
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: at least at least whatever you say you put in

342
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: ten dollars on Yukon to win it all, at least

343
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: they're ten or fifteen on Miami at plus five. I mean,

344
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: you're getting a good number there. And like Stuck said,

345
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to play that middle. You can still hit

346
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: both sides, which is what we this is what we

347
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: live for. Like literally, I'm not making bets here on

348
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl futures. I'm not betting the Bears in February,

349
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: not the head them, Like that's the whole point. I'm

350
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: taking a position in February that I'm hoping I could

351
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: take a position in January the following year. Um, that's

352
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: just how I view it. So I think Stuck, you

353
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: really kneeled on the head there. You got to ask yourself,

354
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing this for? You doing this for fun?

355
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Or are you trying to learn and build a bankroll.

356
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: So to me, like Stuck talked about, you got to

357
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: ask yourself these kind of questions before you even start

358
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: even thinking about making a head or doing a different play. Yeah,

359
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: if you're serious by such, but it's just you're probably

360
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: not gonna be asking me what to do. And I

361
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: would say, just map at least map it out out.

362
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Like I've seen people try to hedge a future like

363
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: a forty to one the last amount in the Sweet

364
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: sixteen by taking the favorite on the money line. And

365
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, say you take that favorite minus

366
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: two fifty was this example, that's just to win your bet.

367
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: So you're laying out two and a half units. Say

368
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: that loses, and then the next game you have another

369
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: favorite that's minus two fifty. All of a sudden, you know,

370
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: to cover that that, say they're minus two fifty again,

371
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: to cover that two and a half units that you

372
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: just lost. I mean, now all of a sudden, you're

373
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: up to seven and a half and then you're in

374
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: the final four, you're down ten units in hedging. What

375
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: if it's minus two hundred again, then you're down twenty

376
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: plus that ten. Then all of a sudden you're like,

377
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, I need this hedge to hitter. I'm

378
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: not even gonna I'm gonna make any money. So that's

379
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: one thing, like be careful. People a lot of very

380
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: recreational about us want to hedge their future way too soon,

381
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: and it sometimes you can get you in a lot

382
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: of trouble. But yeah, I agree with what you said, Sikes.

383
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I was gonna say. I love that we've

384
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: got a final four, and who knows, maybe this is

385
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: an anomaly, right, but I love that in the early

386
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: years of NIL, we've got a final four that is

387
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic, San Diego State, Miami, and Yukon. Only one

388
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: of those schools in Miami you would consider to be

389
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: a high end NIL school. Definitely not FAU, Definitely not

390
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: San Diego State, Definitely not you come. I love that

391
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing these teams succeed in the early stages of

392
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: this era. And I love that we've got a final

393
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: four that has no McDonald's all Americans in it, which

394
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: I think is the first time in thirty years. To me,

395
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: it speaks to work ethic, it speaks to playing together,

396
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: it speaks to it doesn't matter where you start, it

397
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: matters where you finish all the things that I think

398
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: are really valuable. It feels great to me, and I

399
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: wonder Stucky as a college basketball fan and a college

400
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: basketball expert, do you think that college basketball, maybe more

401
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: than college football, is predisposed to succeeding if you're a

402
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: non NIL school in the nil era. Yeah. I mean, look,

403
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to the you have to remember

404
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: the transfer portal too, which a lot of these teams

405
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: have built on and relied on, and just the amount

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: of talent that's moving in the offseason. I mean you

407
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: just look now the amount of talent that's in the

408
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: transfer portal for next year. That's one way to build

409
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: a really good, experienced, veteran team, and that's what we

410
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: have here. And I think it speaks to the you know,

411
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: the value of experienced teamwork, camaraderie, and then obviously coaching

412
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: as well. So yeah, I think it's I think it's

413
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: a great thing for the sport. People are gonna say like, oh,

414
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: there's no blue bloods and there's no you know, you

415
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: don't have these big nil schools, But I think it

416
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: speaks to the depth of the talent pool in college basketball. Too,

417
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: if you even't seen it on the women's side, right,

418
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: the women's side used to just be like, hey, it's

419
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Yukon winning at all and that's it. But now you're

420
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, you saw two ones go down before the

421
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, So yeah, I think it's good for the sport.

422
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: Maybe the ratings will be down a little bit. I

423
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: don't know, but at the end of the day, the

424
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: only thing I really care about is are their lines

425
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: for the games, which there are so there are. I

426
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: saw their way up though. Even men's is up, and

427
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: I saw women's is up too, So to me, it's

428
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: college is in a nice position. Like even the women's

429
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: brackets been really good, compelling, especially if you're a better

430
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of great angles. So to me,

431
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: both the men and the women's brackets as you have

432
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: been just fun like, especially from the betting standpoint, it's

433
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: been madness, which I think is what we all want, right.

434
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: It's it's boring when it's always the one and two,

435
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: It's always the Kentucky's, the Dukes, the Kansas. This is

436
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: what we love. People are trying to bitch about it

437
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: and then their point, their point gets destroyed where it's like, oh,

438
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the nil deals are ruining basketball, they're ruining ruining college football.

439
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's it's kind of

440
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: changing things we're seeing it. Maybe fat stain basketball here,

441
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: then we are college football. But I love it where

442
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there's certain guys here they're playing

443
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: who knows where they're gonna be transfer wort wise, But

444
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: I like it the sense that you know, these certain

445
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic players some they're gonna get a nice paycheck,

446
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: right They're gonna get a card dealership deal from this

447
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: crazy run in this final four. So I love these

448
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: college kids are getting money from producing on the basketball court.

449
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: Brand slams, no hitters, and double plays are back, and

450
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000

482
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: San Diego State minus one and a half against Florida

483
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Atlantic Stucky total was one thirty one and a half.

484
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: I want to take I'm probably gonna take fu here.

485
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: You might be able to find a two out there.

486
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: I make San Diego State, like I made far To

487
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: like a small favorite against Kansas State easily took them

488
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: catch of two and a half. I think be able

489
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: to find a two out there, but I make them

490
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: a small dog, so it's not as much of an edge.

491
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: But I think that they can handle San Diego State's physicality.

492
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: We saw that against Memphis, we saw that against Tennessee.

493
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Right those are two of the most physical teams in

494
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: the country, and that's one Creton really struggled, especially their

495
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: guards on the outside, with San Diego State's physicality. All

496
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: that obviously with Duke, but Florida Atlantic has guys and

497
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: they're deep, and San Diego State all credit to them.

498
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Their defense have been amazing. I love their coach, Brian Dutcher,

499
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: who's a great game planner. Their defense is incredible, especially

500
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: in the paint, and then their length. They just get

501
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: out and help on every three. But no one can

502
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: hit a three against them, I mean nobody, and open threes,

503
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: contested threes. They've certainly benefited from some shooting luck. Now. Granted,

504
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: for the season, teams have only hit twenty seven percent

505
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: from three, but during their tournament run, teas are sixteen

506
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: of ninety four from three. Then you're not playing bad

507
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: teams in the tournament. So and Floridatlantic hasn't really got

508
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: hot from three yet, which is the crazy thing. And

509
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: they're a top you know, they're top fifty in the

510
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: country in both three point rate and three point percentage.

511
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: So and they just have got like San Diego Staate.

512
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: It's a great one of the reasons they have a

513
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: great three point defense. There's a couple, but they help

514
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: extremely well. They're extremely long, so just every shot fields contested.

515
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: But they're also great game planners. And Dutcher is just

516
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: a great schemer. So if you have one or two guys,

517
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: which a lot of teams do, it's just one or

518
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: two guys are gonna kill you from three, like the

519
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: scout is there and they're just not letting them get

520
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: open shots. But Florid Atlantic usually plays with four out

521
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: four guys and then a couple of guys on the bench.

522
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: You know, they have seven or eight guys at average

523
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: at least eight points per game, four guys who could shoot,

524
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: so you can't key on any one of them, and

525
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: they move the ball extremely well. So yeah, I think

526
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: that they can create some mismatches here. And there's part

527
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: of me thinks that, look, someone's gonna eventually hit some

528
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: threes against San Diego State and this would be the

529
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: perfect team to do it, and you can't key on

530
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: any one guy. So yeah, I'm I'm leaving FAU once again.

531
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I've been riding them lately. I'll probably be on them

532
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: once again. Deed d to two though need to two

533
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: two and a half, which I think we'll be able

534
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: to find out there. Now. I had a pro talk

535
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: to me that he thinks that FAU and men's championship

536
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: is still too high. They're still plus five fifty right now,

537
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: all FanDuel, do you agree with that or do you

538
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: think that's price right? Because to me, I get where

539
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: he's coming from, where they're only minus one and a half.

540
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: I just wonder what the line would be against them

541
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: or Connecticut or Florida. Miami obviously a favorite over Miami,

542
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: so they'd be a favorite over Miami. So would you

543
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: take that five fifty then for them national change? Yeah, yeah,

544
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't mind that bet. I think that there's part

545
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: of it. And you saw this last week against with

546
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: Kansas State. There was like I made Floridatlantic a favorite

547
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: over Kansas State, but in Kansas State was getting like

548
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: every bet and a lot of people were saying, like

549
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: it's Kansas State Noel like in the garden against this

550
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic team. So there's still not allowed of belief

551
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: about a team that people don't really know about, haven't

552
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: seen all year. Doesn't come from you know, a power

553
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: conference named Florida Atlantic like to win it all. People

554
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: don't think like they got until now they're like Florida

555
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 1: people are still saying like Florida Atlantic is not going

556
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: to win it all. So from a handle perspective, like

557
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: in that future's market. I doubt they're taking many bets

558
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: on Fau now that they're in the final four to

559
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: win it. So yeah, I don't think that's a bad

560
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: bet at all. Now. I think I've saw multiple sports

561
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: books talk about the only way they lose now is

562
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: if you can wins it all. So if you want

563
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: to be riding with the books and fading anyone, you

564
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: want to fade, you can. Yep. Uh. You know what's interesting?

565
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: So Florida Atlantic Stucky? You got him? Is it? You know?

566
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: You think they can beat San Diego State Simon. You've

567
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: got wise guys talking about a plus five fifty Stucky

568
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: you say to be favorite over Miami. Yep, you're this

569
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: point favorite for what it's worth one and a half

570
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: would Yeah, you know that's they're competitive clearly. Uh, Dusty May,

571
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: he's going to get a job, offer to go somewhere.

572
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: But if you're Dusty May and you win a title

573
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: at Florida Atlantic, what do you do Because the reason

574
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: you leave a place like Florida Atlantic is because you

575
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: say I can't win a title there, and yet all

576
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden you do it. Like, what's the job

577
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: that you take after that, you Kentucky might be looking

578
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: for a new head coach. I mean you try to

579
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: take it for the for the money in your family.

580
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: Let us not going to pay him. Of course, what

581
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: is the job like? You know, Yeah, it's gonna be

582
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: a bit like a Kentucky maybe one day. Um, but yeah,

583
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: he and he went. He started at FAU in the

584
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: Indian Indiana from Indiana, I think he started f India

585
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: manager yep in twenty nineteen. And he cried when he

586
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: got when he took the job and he saw the

587
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: facilities and he said, uh, he just ruined his career. Um.

588
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: And he was like, I've just committed career of suicide

589
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: because he took the job before he saw all the

590
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: facilities and he saw how dire the situation really was.

591
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: And he was like, I'm never gonna be able to

592
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: build a really good team here. And uh now he's

593
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: in the final four, which just an insane story. If

594
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: you then were to win it all, but um, yeah,

595
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: it'd be wild. I mean we look, we're we had Butler,

596
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Like look how close we were to have Butler winning

597
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: it all? Um, you know tenor wherever that was against

598
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: if that shot went in Gordon Haywards. When in Cordon Hayward. Um,

599
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, I if Florie Atlantic wins it all with

600
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: this final flow, I wouldn't be completely shocked. But yeah,

601
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, he'd be an absolute legend there.

602
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: They try to give him as much as they possibly could. Um,

603
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure if they can compete money wise

604
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: with some of the some of the big boys out there.

605
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, what a story would be. That's gonna say.

606
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Trying to wrap your brain around a final of fau

607
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: versus Miami is it's just wild to think about. Honestly,

608
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: what about So what about the Miami game? Stock it's

609
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: the Huskies, you know, thirty five minutes from my house, Uh,

610
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: minus five and a half against the Miami Hurricanes. Yeah,

611
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Connecticut is playing extremely well. They're on

612
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum of San Diego State

613
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: opponents like they can't miss a three um which now,

614
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: look they don't need to hit threes, but because they're

615
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: they're so good inside. But you know, I assume Miami's

616
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna just try whatever they can. Just Ryan stop inside. Now,

617
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: Miami can't defend the post, which is a problem against Yukon,

618
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: but they're gonna say, look, Yukon, you gotta stay hot

619
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: from three, and Ukon's gonna have some open looks here

620
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: because Miami's defense is poor, but their offense is so

621
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: explosive with their guards and guards play in March. So

622
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look, if you look at what Miami

623
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: has done so far, they'd be Houston one of the

624
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: best defenses in the country. They put up eighty nine.

625
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: Texas another one of the best defenses in the country,

626
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: put up eighty eight. Against Indiana they put up eighty five.

627
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter how much you give up if

628
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna put up ninety in these games. And so

629
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: their offense is electric. I make Connecticut a six point eight,

630
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: seven point favorite here a football season will be here

631
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: before we know. It's around a touchdown favorite. So what's

632
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: the line sitting at right now? Five and a half Yeah,

633
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: at six. Let me say six and a half six, yeah,

634
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: six and a half seven. So I would lean Connecticut

635
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: have a future. Probably won't bet it. I'm right in

636
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: line with the total. It's probably gonna come down to um.

637
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, if Connecticut is hitting their open shots, because

638
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to move the ball here, Miami's

639
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to help. Now if Miami a great turnovers,

640
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: Connecticut at times issues with turnovers. But once they get

641
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: into the half court set, Mine's gonna have to help

642
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: and Connecticut's gonna get open shots. And if they're just

643
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: hitting that those open shots at a reasonable clip, I

644
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: think they win this game by six seven plus at least.

645
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: But if they're not. My Minami is gonna score, Minae's

646
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna score in anybody, then it could be a game.

647
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: So it's a tough proposition because it's like, all right,

648
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: can connect because long as Connecticut hits their open shots,

649
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: on one hand, they can do that all the time.

650
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: On the other hand, they've been doing it a lot.

651
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they're due for an off shooting night in a

652
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: new venue. I show a little value of Connecticut, not

653
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: enough to bet it, and then since I have a future,

654
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll be staying away. Also, we'll be getting into some

655
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: props over the next couple of days. This is you know,

656
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: I'll put some player props in final four weekend Super

657
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: Bowl Colleturtball Championship, and we'll cover some of those on

658
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the Big Bet on Campus podcast later in the week

659
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: question from AMP would you bet Fau over Yukon exact

660
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: result at plus eight fifty or just Fau plus five

661
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: fifty to win the title. I'm gonna do a quick

662
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: math back of the envelope plus five fifty or plus

663
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: eight fifty. I'm pretty I think i'd go. I think

664
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: i'd go plus a fifty plus a fifty. I show

665
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: a little value and Ukon against Miami's I think is

666
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: the differentiator there. M yeah, So if you want that sweat,

667
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: either one works or maybe or maybe just put you know,

668
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: if you could always put take half your bat and

669
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: then put half on plus five fifty, half on plus

670
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: eight fifty. So I think that's what I would recommend doing.

671
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: You know what they say, you can't have it all,

672
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: and look you're showing that is how we can. Yeah,

673
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: of course, Hey, before we let you go, you were

674
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: a massive Ravens fan. We talked a little bit about

675
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: this when we were together this past weekend. Lamar Jackson

676
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: has now demanded a trade. This thing seems to have

677
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: gone sideways, although these things always look most sideways right

678
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: before they get resolved. As a fan, are you in

679
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: favor of Lamar Jackson staying or going I want the picks,

680
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: I want the first rounder epics. Well, one like the raceships,

681
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: seemed to have soured part of what makes like Lamar Jackson.

682
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: People that are just like guy, he's just the running back,

683
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: are talking nonsense. But he never took the next step

684
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: in that accuracy, in improving his accuracy right, so over

685
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: since he was a rookie, he was like, wow, this

686
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: guy is electric. Now if he just could take that

687
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: next step into elevating his accuracy, then he could be

688
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: an all world quarterback. We never saw that. And then

689
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: on the flip side, he's not going to get any faster, right,

690
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: so he's only getting older and he's only gonna get stared.

691
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: His injurius is going up. But the kicker for me

692
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: is now, it's tough because you build a roster around

693
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to get something. You don't have

694
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You're gonna have to do something drastic. It's

695
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: a really good organization. You might have to eat it

696
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: for a year or two, but that's okay because look

697
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: around in the AFC, it's like the Bills. You're in

698
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: the division with the Bengals, the Chiefs and Mahomes aren't

699
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Like if you're in the NFC right now,

700
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: it's a different story. But the AFC is a gauntlet

701
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: right now. So I don't mind just saying, Look, there's

702
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: a ton of elite quarterbacks in the FC right now,

703
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: a ton of teams that are in good positions that

704
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: not might not necessarily be that way in a couple.

705
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Bengals. Bengals are gonna pay everybody.

706
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: So I don't mind like eating it for a year

707
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: or two the relationship soured, He's not gonna get any quicker.

708
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. His accuracy go to an elite

709
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: level where you know it's tough. I don't what are

710
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: you gonna do with the roster. We'll see, maybe you

711
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: bring in, maybe you just roll with hotly, maybe draft

712
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: a young rookie, but you're gonna have to you build

713
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: a whole offensive scheme. Right The other thing is the

714
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: rest of the league is kind of figured out what

715
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens want to do, and your ceiling is kind

716
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: of lowered, especially when you get to the playoffs and

717
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: teams can scheme against it. So yeah, I want the picks.

718
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: I want the picks. And plus, whenever you pay a quarterback,

719
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt the rest of your roster, and you

720
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: want to just try and get to a point where

721
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: you aren't paying a quarterback that much and the rest

722
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: of your roster is there, and then that's your window.

723
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: So I'm for the relationships over give me the picks, Simon,

724
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: I think he said at all. Yeah, and just I

725
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: mean I kind of heard these rumors a week ago

726
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: and whatever there was Sunday, I kind of heard that

727
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Lamar reached out their team from a guy that's a

728
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: good source for the Ravens. Just I literally came with

729
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: the show and talked about it. I think I even

730
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: greened ideal. I talked about that's why I took the

731
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: Browns at four hundred plus four hundred, I think they're

732
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: down out of three to one. That's what you want

733
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: to do, was a pro. You want to kind of

734
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 1: get ahead of the news cycle and what the media knows.

735
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: And I feel a little lucky there in the sense

736
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: that you know Lamar, I agree a lot what stuck.

737
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: He said. My biggest issue with Lamar right now is

738
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: kind of his maturity level. I just everything he's doing

739
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: every way he's handled this, even even not coming back

740
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: for their postseason push because he didn't want to get

741
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: hurt before doing a new contract. All of it. It's

742
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: been so me, me, me, and one of the biggest

743
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: team sports we know. So I get why the fans

744
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: are kind of sick of it. I get what the

745
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: organizations kind of burned out on them. Um, it's it's

746
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: a really sticky situation. But at the same time, if

747
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm a team like the Jets, or if I'm a

748
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: team again the Atlanta thing that will never make sense

749
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: to me, or there's these teams that just haven't had

750
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback that you know they're they're there's opportunity there,

751
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: So I get what friend, they have a conversation that

752
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: would be what shan do with him? But and yeah,

753
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: Lamore says that the Ravens didn't offer him what he's worth.

754
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: They they placed a non exclusive franchise tag on him.

755
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: That means that whoever wants them, if the Ravens wanted them,

756
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: they'd have to match it. So that allowed him to

757
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: go get the you know, his market value. So yeah,

758
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: I think the relationship is just soured too. So that also,

759
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: even if they did solve but that could also pop

760
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: up and cause issues in the future. I think it's

761
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: a lot of resentment. That's what it feels like, resentment.
