But Dano, 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: let's try to go back in time here when you 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: first started. 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: Following and betting the WNBA. 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: How were you at the time an inexperienced WNBA better 45 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: fast forwards? 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 2: Now where you are now? How can someone who's inexperienced 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: in this market get an edge? On betting. 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: This league. It's probably one of the best sports to 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: get started with, especially those who are in experienced with 50 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: betting in general. One, it's a super short, consolidated season. 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: Scheduling is an easy sometimes there's games going on at 52 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: the same time. Definitely my favorite thing to life bet. Honestly, 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: I haven't really bet any too many of the sports 54 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: since getting into women's basketball in general, so college and 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: the WNBA. But all in all, especially when you have 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: great insights and data. Thank you to Aaron Barzilai from 57 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: her hoopsats for I wouldn't be connected with him had 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I not been gambling on the WNBA. So getting access 59 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: to his data, which is only twenty dollars a year, 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: is fantastic at her who stats dot com. And you're 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: getting the same matchups a lot of the times because 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: there's only twelve teams. I mean, Brandon, you know this 63 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: from being with the Connected Sun. Definitely on back to 64 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: backs for sure, as well, a lot of teams that 65 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: really stick closely to the data that we have at hand. 66 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: So if you're you know, not even modeling, it's it's 67 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: easy to follow people who do model our sharp with 68 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the WNBA. This is my second season doing it, I 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: was up I think twenty seven units last year. I'm 70 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: playing thirty on this season, but I hope to continue 71 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the end of season and 72 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: get closer to playoffs. 73 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: To Dano's point, it's a thirty six game season this year. 74 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: It started at the beginning of May, it runs through 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: it August. They adjust the schedule this year because of 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: the World Cup and the Feeble Worlds, so next year 77 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: they'll be four games. So but still it's a very 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: tight window. Again, shout out to the ladies. It's crazy 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: how they play all these games in a short time. Anyway, 80 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: with all that being said, the volume of games is 81 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: high in that short window of time. So as a 82 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: better on the league, Dano, I would assume that's one 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: of the challenges. 84 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: You can be on top of this stuff. 85 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: If they're playing every other day and they're playing four 86 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: games and seven days, there's teams play a stretch of 87 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: eight games and seventeen days. 88 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: That might be a challenge. 89 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: What else is challenging about following and betting the league? 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's acceptable either way, but I'd rather give it 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: a shot to see if itselfs I do a little 92 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: bit less Evan on the back end, but it's okay. 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: So you do all the edit editing. Yeah, I'll do 94 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: it for this, for if I'm on, I'll do it 95 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: for these one ups like this. 96 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: Okay, I got I gotta call Verizon after this. I've 97 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: had problems the last two days. I don't know what 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: the hell's going on. 99 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: That's how it goes. You're not the you're not the 100 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: first one, you won't be the last. So yeah, no problem, 101 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: Uh okay, so just uh we'll just pick it up. 102 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: Danill just do a three two one and then answer 103 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: the question. Yeah, three two, yes, Brandon. That is definitely 104 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: interesting with the amount of games at a short period 105 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: of time. But for me, especially last year, they've done 106 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: a better job this year. I'm not sure how connected 107 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: you are with it, but I cannot stand the kind 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: of lack of formality and the process behind injury reporting. 109 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: So for me, as somebody who really drives on access 110 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: to information and data, I'm on my phone quite a bit. 111 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: Uh along, We're doing my day job. So with that, 112 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: Twitter is probably the biggest piece of information or biggest 113 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: source of so I follow pretty much every beat writer 114 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: from every team. Doesn't matter you know what type of 115 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: information they have, I set of tweelerts for all of them. 116 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: It could be something as little as a travel delay 117 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: that really impacts teams because I mean, you know this Brandon, 118 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: they all fly commercial, which you know is another issue 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: in itself, but they all fly commercial and with that 120 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: there's a tongue of delays. I've experienced in myself flying 121 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: commercial recently, and who has right, So teams traveling on 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: a back to back, for example, getting a you know, 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: six hour delay, they wake up at four am to 124 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: get to the airport, They're going to have some entire legs. 125 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: We saw that recently with the New York Liberty plane 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: at home against Chicago Sky who traveled there on a 127 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: back to back. Right, I don't think they got to 128 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the arena until three pm for seven pm local start game. 129 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard to play in those conditions, 130 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: and that makes a really advantageous opportunity for better. 131 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: So if someone someone new in this in this space 132 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: just talking sports now the sports betting space, they they're ready. Okay, 133 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 3: I want to I want to dive in and follow 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: this league night in, night out. 135 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: There's a few days like mondays they don't play games, 136 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: but anyway they want to bet a night on a nightly. 137 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: Basis in the league, what's one give us one foundational. 138 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: Element that he or she needs to understand going into. 139 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: That outside of the obvious of inherent risk, I mean, 140 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: I think probably goes to just the scheduling in general. 141 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Looking for endancies. I think using you know, the Action 142 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: Networks platform, their app is is great in general, means 143 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: something that I definitely look forward to, especially with teams 144 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: who are better on the road than than at home. 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: You look at Alice Wings, who are They're a strange 146 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: team in general, but as road dogs. I think they're 147 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: eight and two this season. Not road road favorites often 148 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: once they're playing at Indiana or or maybe LA for example. 149 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: But phenomenal edges you find just by looking at sources 150 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: like Action Network, following us at the floor on Twitter, 151 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: and then obviously watching the games. Is it's pure because 152 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: I for me, live betting is live betting. The w 153 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: NBA is definitely how I paid for my honeymoon. I'll 154 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: say that a there you go. 155 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: So again, we've got Jeni Mattaia joining us. 156 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: He's from Spread the Floor, which is betting platform from 157 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: her hoopstats dot com. 158 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: Danill mentioned you can get a subscription there to. 159 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: Get great access to stats and information on learning about 160 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: the league. There's twelve teams in the league and they 161 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: when they do postseason stuff, they're all seeded one through 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: eight in the conference for playoff formalities. As an expert, 163 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: when you when you do this on a week to 164 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 3: week or a night to night basis, when you when 165 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: you look at the w what is what is the 166 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: betting routine? You mentioned going on Twitter, getting news, finding 167 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: out and getting as much information as possible. But when 168 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: it comes to say all of that is equal across. 169 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: The board, would take us deeper into that process definitely. 170 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it starts the night before the games. 171 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: If if we have lines available multiple nights before games 172 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: like we do today, I'll start modeling on Tuesday for 173 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: Thursday games. So with that, checking injury notes, et cetera. 174 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: For example, the Dallas Wings are playing at home, it's 175 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: the mystics saw a note from green Copeland that Landa 176 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: del don't not be traveling to Dallas this week, so 177 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: it makes sense that the Wings are favored by one. 178 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: But just a nugget to have in mind. So with that, 179 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: I look to see if any lines overnight are advantageous 180 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: in my in my sight, so I will absolutely play 181 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: plays if if it does make that sense, and hopefully 182 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: we can get the lines to possibly move. There are 183 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: also other tendencies, like knowing that typically the Las Vegas Aces, 184 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: whatever their line opens at, it's going to get higher 185 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: and higher. The few exceptions there, like with this game 186 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: tonight against Chicago Sky. Other than that, decides data modeling 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: the nights before, start my day, Go get some caffeine 188 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: with my dog at the same coffee shop every day, 189 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: get home, check Twitter for more news, always check the 190 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: lines again. And I'm not sure if the action follows 191 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: this as well, but there are down player props which 192 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: to me have just been super advantageous. And you talk 193 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: about the access to information and player injuries and notes, 194 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean I can quote your team. I mean the 195 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Connecticut son Alysa Thomas OBErs this weekend, we're absolutely insane 196 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: with black John Cwell Jones on the floor, I mean 197 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: she had the first triple level and Connecticut Sun history 198 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 1: and hers for points. I think we're at twelve and 199 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: a half on Friday night, Assist we're at six and 200 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: a half rebounds for at seven and a half overloose 201 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: and easily on our way to a triple double on 202 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: the first night. And then obviously John Well not playing 203 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: a significant amount and being a little bit limited coming 204 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: back from coming back from her coat was another advantageous 205 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: opportunity when the lines moved on that she was coming back. 206 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: So it's really it's really awesome to get that. I mean, 207 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: bete Rivers is the only place that does it. Fandle 208 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: will do it occasionally, but love that we're getting that 209 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: because it shows the growth of the popularity of the 210 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: sport and the league. It's not probably on the level 211 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: of NBA where you're getting pretty much every player who 212 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: is available playing, You're only getting probably two or three 213 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: per team, but still it's an it's an awesome, awesome 214 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: thing to bet because you're i mean the Connecticut some 215 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: for example, played what like an eight person rotation unless 216 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: it's a blowout. Sure, yeah, So I mean having that 217 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: bad access, I mean, I'm a little shocked that I 218 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: haven't been limited again by bet Rivers with with some 219 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: of these props. But we're gonna keep playing them until 220 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: till there's anything the until I basically kicked off, I guess, 221 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, so that's definitely part of the routine 222 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: is the you know, checking the data, looking at Twitter, 223 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: and then always kind of set the target line and 224 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: a budget for for live betting opportunities. Uh. This would 225 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:38,479 Speaker 1: definitely include uh games like the Indiana Fever, play a lot, 226 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: any game where it's a really small line looking for 227 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, huge runs from teams, things like that. 228 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you brought up props, but also the routine. 229 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: If you're looking for more on the subject, one of 230 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: our best at Action Network Sean Kerner. He does a 231 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: video five Tips for Betting the w Five Tips for 232 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: Betting the w NBA, available on the Action Network YouTube page. 233 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: On does a great job and he's also someone who 234 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: follows the prop market. When it comes to routine, though, 235 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 3: I want you to be a little more specific what analytically. 236 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: For example, pace of play is a big deal when 237 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: you have one team that plays at a faster pace 238 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: taking on a team at a slower pace. 239 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: In WNBA dot com has. 240 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: A great team sortable stats section where you can find 241 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: all this advanced advanced data just to figure out, okay, 242 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: when one style takes On another how are you going 243 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: about that? 244 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: Is pace something you look at? 245 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: Pace is one of the biggest aspects of the model. 246 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: For sure, Pace. 247 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: And you don't have to give away all your suforts. 248 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to give folks an understanding because this 249 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 3: is stuff that comes up dan O when we. 250 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: Do MBA stuff too. 251 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: Definitely, pace is a huge talking point when it comes 252 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: to overs and unders as well. 253 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I mean definitely looking for statistical patterns as well. 254 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean I feel like you could bet any team 255 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: total over right now against the Indiana Fever and do well, 256 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: just simply on the fact that Indiana highest pace in 257 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: the league, worst defense in the league. It's just a 258 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, an over sitting for you on a silver platter, 259 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: as long as they can make a few shots, especially 260 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: when they're playing against the defense that is not in 261 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: the top five. For example, you know, games against Seattle 262 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: are going to be a little tough because you're relying 263 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: on the Fever to get you seventy points, which they're 264 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: not always going to do. The thing I don't or 265 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: have trouble with sometimes is kind of the year over 266 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: year changes. The Sun were last in pace last year. 267 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm super successful this year. I think they're third at 268 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: the moment in pace and still successful, but they're putting 269 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: up points that we haven't seen from them in various years. 270 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: I want to say, back to twenty sixteen maybe, But 271 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: offense is off the charts compared to the identity that 272 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: Kurt Miller, the head coach of the Sun usually has. 273 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Liz Kembage, who we don't know if is La sparks 274 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: roster move the betting markets a lot, especially at the 275 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, but if you look at her 276 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: advanced numbers with her defense is not up to snuff. 277 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean, she's great at blocking shots, but really slows 278 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: the pace of that sports team down and doesn't have 279 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: a condition to keep playing. So I mean there are 280 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: small things that I look for, especially over year, that 281 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: are going to be harder at the beginning of the season. 282 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: But once you figure out the identity of a team 283 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: look at I mean, we have a large, simple size 284 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: now with only you know, lesson left with the regular 285 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: season to really refine our model and find edges to 286 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: really play all these games rest of the way. 287 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: I think you make a really good point, and this 288 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: goes with any league when there's drastic changes in free 289 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: agency or an off season trade. Not only you mentioned 290 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: Liz Cambage, it was a big name was with Derek Fisher, 291 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: who now has been let go by the La Sparks. 292 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: But just to give folks an understanding, the Las Vegas 293 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: is already really good team. With Cambage, they pivoted to 294 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: a smaller lineup and now they are the betting favorite 295 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 3: to win the title this year. Now they're not as 296 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: public as Diana Tarassi Phoenix Mercury team, but they've got 297 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: a team now that is lethal shooting. 298 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: They're paying space, They're like Golden State. Moving on, let's 299 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: use this game tonight. 300 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: Tonight is the Commissioner's Cup, folks that don't know what 301 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: that is. That's the for half Championship. It's the number 302 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 3: one from the East, number one team from the West. 303 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: They play for a bunch of money. It's a player 304 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: prize pool. Some of it goes to charity, and then 305 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: the winning team gets winnings as well. It's rewarding the 306 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: teams for giving a crap about the first half of 307 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: the year. Essentially, so to Chicago and Vegas, which could 308 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 3: be the finals, that could be the finals matchup. We 309 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: don't know, but it looks pretty darn good right now 310 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: based on the betting market. 311 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: Give us an example of how you'd go this opportunity to. 312 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: Play the game. Like you said, two of the best 313 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: teams in the league top to Commissioner Cup standings, top 314 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: to in regular stayings. We can look back at how 315 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: their previous two matchups have gone. The road team is 316 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: in both, which is definitely something of note. Obviously, with 317 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: a little extra incentive on the line, things are a 318 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: little bit different here, and also the teams are just 319 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: different in general. I think it was when the Aces 320 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: beat Chicago. I think it was Peleia Copper's third game back, 321 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: and so I mean this goes to the point of 322 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: knowing the personnel on the teams and knowing how impapalled 323 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: they are. And then we saw the largest comeback in 324 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: WNBA history when the Sky were down twenty eight in 325 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: the first half and ultimately one y nine in Vegas. 326 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: So you're talking about two teams are incredibly efficient offensively. 327 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: So I do expect to see a ton of runs. 328 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: I mean I've I don't think I've been more excited 329 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: the live beta game in my life. I think you 330 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: might get opportunities to get plus ten both ways if 331 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: this game goes the way it should with a ton 332 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: of runs and some misses. I do believe overall, if 333 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: if you look top to bottom at the rosters, Chicago 334 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 1: guy are clearly clearly the better team. They have a 335 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: stronger bench that can come in and fill those gaps 336 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: from Kandas Parker, Courney, vandersloot lea copperco the bench and 337 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: players like Rebecca Gardner. Uh So I feel I feel 338 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: super super confident in the fact that I got the 339 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: Sky minus one yesterday, that tweet or that pick was 340 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: posted on Spread the Floors Twitter. But uh, you know, 341 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: now the line is up to Sky minus three. I 342 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: definitely think if the Sky you're up to a hot start, 343 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: I will absolutely put put some coins on Vegas. Uh 344 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: you know, maybe even plus seven and a half. That's 345 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: kind of my target that I've set for myself. So 346 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a great opportunity for us to 347 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: uh to make some money. Make sure what's in the game, 348 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: especially if there's an injury or anything that happens to 349 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: a significant player, and it's easy to know who those 350 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: are if you're not a w NBA fan. You know, 351 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: just look at some STAB records. Look at I mean, 352 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: you can look at the starting lineups for each team. 353 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: They haven't really changed and they in the last month 354 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: or so. But also you're getting Corny vandersloop back, who's 355 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: one of the best point guards in the WNBA. If 356 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: you look at her on our records or on our 357 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: stats with the team, I think they're negative eleven point 358 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: eight without her. So it's gonna be a great game. 359 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: And I mean, I hope it's our final series. I 360 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: feel like I'll I'll win some money on futures either 361 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: way if that happens, not as much if it's the Aces, 362 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: but it's exciting either way. But tonight is definitely a 363 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: night to live bet. For sure. I would be more 364 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: common taking the Chicago Sky money line, but either way, 365 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: great opportunity to live bet. 366 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 3: Now in your head, you're playing on a game script, 367 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: because a lot of times they feel like when people 368 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 3: live bet anything, it's like, oh, look, this really heavy 369 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: favor cut off to a slow start. Great, they're gonna 370 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 3: come back because they're too good of a three point 371 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 3: shooting team to keep sucking like this. You could make 372 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: that case in the NBA too, but what's the checklist 373 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: for Dano when it comes to okay live betting opportunity 374 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: is here because blank. 375 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: Overall one regression too looking at who the benches are. Oftentimes, 376 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: if there is a blowout, I we'll look for a 377 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: fourth quarter under. They're insanely profitable. The last w NBA season, 378 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: then we saw a streak of I think thirteen games 379 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: were across the league where a fourth quarter under hit. 380 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: But in games that are blowouts will typically see a 381 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: fourth quarter under and those lines are usually set around 382 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: forty one and a half to forty because teams are 383 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: usually kind of in that stop caring mode. 384 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 3: So let me help you drive your point home, because 385 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: you so just looking at a big picture. If someone's 386 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 3: getting into this for the first time, I'll say this 387 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: as a caveat before I continue to simplify this for 388 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: folks that the league has a hard cap, so most 389 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: teams carry ten to eleven players and they don't release 390 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: each lls on contracts. 391 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: This isn't like WOJ and shams. 392 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: They're not giving you details in the contracts. Point being, 393 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: you're talking like the one hundred and forty best to 394 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: play to play the sport in the world. Right, because 395 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: you've got ten eleven players twelve teams. Do the math, 396 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 3: and you kind of hit on this with your explanation 397 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 3: about one team in Vegas first place team or second 398 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: place team in the league. Then you got a team 399 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: of Indiana who's really young but playing a lot of 400 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: players that aren't on big max contracts. But the top 401 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: of the league depth is not as available because when 402 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: you try to pay superstars, you don't have the luxury 403 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 3: of having more loaded bench. 404 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: But when you have a younger team of Indiana, you 405 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 2: might be. 406 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: Able to fill out your roster with decent sixth seventh 407 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: woman players that could maybe start or get a or 408 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: crack a cracker rotation top of the league. But those 409 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 3: teams at the top of the league can't afford them, 410 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: so they end up filling out rosters in the bottom 411 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: of the league and they let the younger players to Indiana. 412 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 3: When you have four players draft than the top ten, 413 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: those players. 414 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: Are getting more of the minutes. So yes, it's a 415 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: very the top half of the league and the bottom 416 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: half of the league. There is separation there. 417 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: The five teams that are in the top five spots 418 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: right now, their depth is not in Chicago's really good, 419 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 3: so making Chicago the exception depth. The huge thing in 420 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: this league is the overall point. Okay, last thing before 421 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 3: we let you go, what's the best feeling a better 422 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: can get gambling on the WNBA. 423 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: What's the highest high? 424 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: And you sink your teeth into this and you're like, Okay, 425 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: I got the hang of this. 426 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: This I've got I feel good about this. 427 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I know for me, after winning a lot 428 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: of money doing this the last few years, being really 429 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: successful at it, now I just want to see other 430 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: people be successful off my picks. But I'd say probably 431 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: the highest high song can have, which hopefully we get 432 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: an opportunity tonight getting both sides to cover in the 433 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: same game live. There's nothing nothing better than winning a 434 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: bet with both sides having the other night had aces 435 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: first half minus nine and a half and then took 436 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: it in a fever plus twenty five and a half. 437 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: Winning both those vets is such a good feeling, even 438 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: though you're doing you know, one of the bets, pregame 439 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: one of them live. It's just knowing that you understand 440 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: these tendencies. It almost feels too easy at a certain point, 441 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: and of course it's not always going to be there's 442 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: gonna be some things that happen and you're going to see, 443 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, some bad luck here in there. But overall, 444 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: to me, that's the best, and I think we have 445 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to have that hit tonight. Cannot be 446 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: more excited to bet this game. I think it's a 447 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: great matchup and overall, like you're watching, like you said, 448 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the top one hundred and forty players in the world, it's. 449 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: Too close, like there's no night. 450 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: And also as we hit as we started this episode, 451 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 3: remember they're playing thirty five to forty games next year 452 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 3: in a two and a half month window. So you 453 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 3: can be really good and look at Las Vegas. But 454 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 3: when you're playing so many games, I mean, look at 455 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: the games they played against New York in that ten 456 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: days stretch. You might look at New York's record and go, 457 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 3: how is that gonna work? But New York, as we've 458 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 3: found out, they've got pieces, they've got depth because they 459 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 3: haven't had to pay their superstars yet. 460 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 2: In Indiana, there's incentive for an. 461 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 3: Indiana Fever player who might be eighth in the rotation 462 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 3: to really give a crap in a fourth quarter, whereas 463 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 3: if you're an eighth rotation player in Vegas, you might 464 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 3: you're pretty good, but you're not at the level the 465 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 3: eighth throat player might. 466 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: Be in in Indiana. That's that's the discrepancy I think 467 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: we're finding out. It's the league's too close. 468 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got players in a contract year like 469 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: Tiffany Mitchell who's been on a tear lately, who easily 470 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: could start on very many teams. But uh, I mean 471 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: is wanting to play for significant money. So I mean 472 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of awesome storylines that you can figure 473 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: out in this short window of time. It's it's it's 474 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: it's a great league to bet, and I'm glad that 475 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: the popularity is going up and up, you know, It's 476 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: the volume of the bets is probably super low too. Overall, 477 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: it's nowhere near It'll never be in anywhere in near NFL. 478 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: It's nowhere near MLB, definitely not anywhere near the NBA. 479 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: So the books aren't putting that same amount of pressure 480 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: on how they analyze the lines. So you really can't 481 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: get some awesome I mean, I get closing my value 482 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: pretty much every night, probably at a ninety percent rate 483 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: of at least one to two, you know, sometimes high 484 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: as six or seven. Because I understand the data, I'm 485 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: able to make plays overnight, which we didn't used to get. 486 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: We didn't used to get WNBA lines until the morning 487 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: of the game. So I love that the popularity is growing. 488 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm super excited for the rest of this season and 489 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: going forward. And I mean, if this is really advantageous, 490 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: but Women's College is even better, So highly highly recommend 491 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: trying out the w NBA a little bit. Women's College 492 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: is going to be just as fun, especially non conference schedule. 493 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how how how crazy it is 494 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: when you get by U women playing against you know, Albany, 495 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: and it's the spread is minus sixteen and a half 496 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: and it should be minus thirty two. So awesome, awesome 497 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: opportunities to make a lot of money roll And I 498 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed hearing about this, and definitely you know 499 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: follow me.
