Uh, but hour number two on Thursday means but one thing, Unscripted with the Crack Man, Bill Krackomberger. [upbeat music] Oh, yeah. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
1:40
Get it, get it. Billy. Morning. Good morning, sir. It, it's so nice to walk in.
1:48
I just put a tweet up walking in the Masters and all the TVs out there, and then they gave, they gave you a little tiny one, but you're on there at least. Oh, they put us up- No... in be- in between the Masters screens?
1:58
It's pretty cool, though. It is kind of cool. It's really cool, like the whole sportsbook and, uh, yeah. By the way, let me just start with a tweet.
2:04
Ice Cold Gambler, he says, "Everyone needs a friend like Bill Krackomberger who goes to the Masters to just buy his friends gifts." I, I don't know who that guy is. Yeah. I, I touch a Bible on my parents' graves. Yeah.
2:15
That's why I'm going. That's why you're going. How can that guy know that, though? I didn't tell no one that. Well, you kind of hinted at it in past- I did? Yeah, last week you sort of said that. Oh. Yeah.
2:22
He took you at your word. By the way, what, are, are you up to extra large? Or, uh, what size are you? [laughs] No, sorry. No, I, I have a list of, of, I'm gonna put you on a list.
2:30
I, I wanna make sure you're- Are you up to extra large? Are you extra large? Uh, te- teetering. Okay. Yeah. No, because the, the shirts are cut a little s- Okay. We'll go extra large then- Yeah...
2:39
if it shrinks and all that stuff. Yeah. Thank you, Bill. No, I'm- And by the way, let me just- What color would you like? A nice pink? [laughs] No. I, that's right. What color would you like for the Masters?
2:47
Jeff Schwartz asked me on my Fox show. I was shocked. You know, Jeff's a big guy. Yeah. He played in the NFL, 6'6", I, you know. Yeah. He's like, he's the only one, he's like, "Bill, can you get me a pink one?"
2:56
Are you kidding me? No, I swear to God. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jeff Schwartz, pink. Jeff, have you heard of the Masters before? Yeah. [laughs] Um, so here's the deal.
3:03
So you do this hour with us, which by the way, can't thank you enough again, ev- not only every week, but this week particularly- Yeah... because you are headed to Augusta after this.
3:12
You have a fl- how do you fly to Augusta from here, by the way? Uh, American Airlines- Yeah... flies to Charlotte. Charlotte's the connector. And, uh, they have the, like I'm, I'm on one of those little prop planes.
3:21
Oh, into- I guess... right into Augusta? It's a small, yeah, it's an hour flight. Okay. 58 minutes or something. Now, explain to us how these prices have soared now. For the Masters? Yes. I, I put a tweet up yesterday.
3:33
I, I don't know what happened. This is, you know, I've been there before.
3:36
I, I'm lucky enough to get a, a, a pass for $500 for Friday and Saturday because I have a friend, you know, that, that's a big reseller of tickets, reseller of tickets.
3:46
But something happened this year, and it only happened like Monday, like Sunday, last Sunday.
3:51
P- the, the demand has went up so much that even StubHub, you could do a search, even StubHub has like w- the cheapest today was 16,000 I seen for one day. One-day pass? One day, yeah. On secondary market. Now- 16,000...
4:07
I know someone that actually was f- going there that resold two days for 32,000 to a seller that's gonna resell it for f- t- 40,000 for two days. The guy's coming over from Japan. Amazing. And that's what it is.
4:22
There's a lot of European, there's a lot of Asian, uh, international flying pe- people coming in. They didn't expect this demand, I guess, for these tickets. Um, out of control prices over there, and you can Google it.
4:35
It's never been like this. Last year, it's four times more than last year. Like, I thought we were in like a reci- recession.
4:41
Like I- [laughs] Like I, I don't, listen, Vegas, we don't feel it because, you know- Oh, the economy's going great, Bill. I don't know if you've noticed. Yeah, but the- You know, the, uh- We don't feel it in Vegas.
4:49
We're like one of, you know- Yeah... one of those fake economies, I always say it, you know?
4:52
Well, so the m- but here's the thing about the Masters, like, and w- and we can only speak from a North American standpoint, 'cause I don't know how many of us know every single sporting event that, that occurs everywhere in every corner of the world.
5:03
Maybe there's something equivalent to this, but I sure don't know what that is. Because for us, anyway, there is nothing. I mean, can you think of any, even the Super Bowl is not quite like this, right?
5:14
This is its- I agree... its own unique thing. It is obviously one of four golf majors, but it is the one that has by far the most lore. The others obviously move around. That's the first thing, right?
5:26
This is in its own spot, and it is just, it has taken on a, obviously they say it's a tradition unlike any other, but it's taken on a lore unlike any other. And we're old enough, you and I- Yeah...
5:38
where we've actually, you know, I said the 89th Masters, we've actually l- we remember half of them now. You know- Think about that... y- you're right, you're right.
5:47
And, uh, the, the guy that, he's went 32 straight Masters with his son, and he's the one that sold us tickets. And his, his 17-year-old son now, he was yesterday on the phone with me, really upset.
6:00
He's like, "I, I, I don't know what to tell my son. I don't know. He's gonna be really upset.
6:04
He, you know, I, I don't know how to break it to him that he's not gonna be on the Masters course on Thursday, Friday, but he'll be out there Saturday and Sunday." And, um- I was like, "Are you out of your mind?" Yeah.
6:13
"Tell him you're gonna buy him a car." Uh, and, no, seriously. Yeah, really. He's 17. Yeah. You're getting $32,000 for tickets that are, that you got for- We're still going Saturday and Sunday... Yeah, yeah.
6:22
He's like, "Oh, God, I'm so upset, I, uh..." The kid's been to five ma- five majors already. Yeah. He's been to the Super Bowl. Like, like, give me a break. Oh, my God. Give, give, you know. Yeah, yeah.
6:32
Well, good for that kid. No, uh- Yeah... it's just, think I'm gonna unbutton. I l- kind of look like the Fruit of the Loom grapes here. Let me get this. Think I'm gonna... Remember that? The Fruit of the Loom grapes.
6:40
The fruit, the plum. That's right. Um, let me unbutton this. By the way, why does the, why do the grapes stand out in those- I don't know... Fruit of the Loom commercials? Yeah. That's all I remember, too.
6:46
Yeah, the grapes. But there were other fruit. I think there was a plum, that's why. Yeah. Um, by the way, uh, just a Masters update, uh, Aaron Rai, in his, uh, debut, is three under through seven.
6:55
He is tied with, uh, Joaquin Niemann, who's three under through four, and now Steven Yeager, who is three under through seven as well.
7:03
So those three guys, and they have a, by the way, they have a two-stroke lead over the rest of the field. Scheffler, one under still? Uh, Scheffler is one under through two. Yeah.
7:11
Yeah, he's just, uh, he birdied two, so he's off to a good start. You know, like, how do you bet Scheffler? How do you take 475? That's the problem. You know, um, I, I seen 5 1/4, but then yesterday I seen as low as 3-1.
7:22
Imagine this 3-1. I wanna lay it. I, I'd lay it for a giant, giant amount.
7:26
Well, I heard Mike Palm was on, uh, By The Books this morning with, uh, Dave Ross and Jensen Lewis here on our air, on our air, on our air, pardon me, and he said, like, you know, when he talk about liability, interestingly, they have very little exposure to Scheffler because of what you just said.
7:40
The number was so short that people really didn't bet him all that much. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I, uh, I seen a couple golfers on there, you know, the, the hole that Circa, unlike probably any other sports book,
7:55
gets better and better towards the, towards the event. So Monday, I don't know the numbers. Maybe it's 20, 22 and a half percent Monday, and then Tuesday it goes down, but by Wednesday it's, like, 15%.
8:07
I wish I knew the actual numbers, 'cause la- uh, certain ones were, like, 12%, so it could be like that, but the hole here, and they have yes and no, which is great.
8:16
I love when you can bet the no, 'cause the no is right. I mean, if you, if you have a lot of money, just deposit. If you have millions of dollars, you're gonna make money. Just- Yeah...
8:26
put no on, uh, you know, e- and mostly, you know, all the guys that are, like, literally there's so many guys that you could put no on. I- it's, it's a lock.
8:35
I mean, you know, e- like, Tiger Woods isn't playing this year. Yeah. Um, at least the, the, everyone's happy. There's, no one's gonna be stiffed by a tip.
8:42
But, um, you know, it, it, it, it, literally you could put no on Tiger, you could put no on Mickelson. I mean, you know, you could put no on these guys, and, uh, that's the right bet, by the way. Correct. Nobody bet no.
8:53
Yes. Nobody, 'cause, you know, no one's gonna lay 400 to 1. Yeah. You know, no one's gonna do that. But, um- Aaron Rai goes to four under now, through eight. Wow. Calm it down, Aaron Rai. Yeah. Come on. Relax already.
9:04
Jesus. Four under through eight, um, in his debut. Once again, no debutant ever, uh, has won a Masters since 1979, and Fuzzy Zeller.
9:13
Uh, Mike Palm also, and I'm gonna get the odds wr- wrong on this, but he said that the one golfer in the field that they would have the most liability on was Matt McCarty, who has very li- [laughs] has very little chance of winning this.
9:25
Yeah. But somebody who knew somebody who knew the kid, or whatever the story was- Yeah...
9:29
decided to bet on, uh, Matt McCarty, and he wanted to put, uh, whatever the, I can't remember what the odds were, but he wanted to put down a bet that would have been an $8 million score. 8 million? And I think- Wow...
9:41
uh, what, what Mike Palm said is that they gave him a quarter of that. So if Ma- Matt McCarty wins, somehow wins the 89th Masters- It would be-... it would be 2 million out of, uh, Circa's pocket.
9:51
Well, I know who I'm rooting for. [laughs] You just, just bec- just because you, you, your DNA is to root against the book. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
9:58
I mean, I, listen, we root against books, but we know in the end- Yeah, of course... God blesses the bookmaker. Of course. I mean, the Duke game, you know how much money they made on Duke? Oh, man.
10:07
I talked to some people around town, I'm not gonna mention no names, big people around town, and, um, it was one of the most profitable days in the history of their sportsbook. Talking about when Duke lost?
10:16
When Duke lost. Yeah, the semifinal. Yeah, when, when Du- Duke lost in the semifinals to, um, Houston, right? Yep. When Duke lost that game, uh, the money line, yes, that was big.
10:27
People tried to enhance their parlays, but this book told me everything they had on Duke futures, that was their scariest risk, was to, was to get that. If that came home, you know, it was gonna be bad for the book.
10:40
They'd still make money, believe it or not, but it would've been, cut into their profits in, you know, so much that they had a giant, giant day. Here's something you're talking about. So Sportrade, right? Yeah.
10:48
We know Sportrade. Sport, someone has a, uh, a Twitter account, Sportrade Now, which goes through some of the, the huge bets. We always say these are Rufus's bets 'cause we think they're Rufus's bets. Yeah.
10:58
But to your point, like, here's one. Viktor Hovland, right? Perfect. Viktor Hovland to not win the Masters. Perfect. That's- Here's all the bet is... yeah, he used to be great...
11:05
just can't win the m- the, the bet is that he will not win the Masters. Yes. Um, minus f- uh, 5,456, minus 5456 is the odds. So, uh, whoever this was, Rufus, $97,000 bet to win 1778. Yeah.
11:22
There you go, so- By the way, this isn't even the most dramatic. There are some of them- Oh, yeah... that are even more nutty than this. See, so if you have that kind of money- Here, here's one, Cam Smith.
11:28
Same, same thing. Same sort of thing. Cam Smith. $97,000 to win 1277. Oof. And 60 cents, I might add. That's a little scarier to me, but yeah.
11:36
[laughs] Cam Smith, um, 97, just, you, you know, you pick up 1,200 bucks, um, but, you know- Or as Rufus calls this-... there's another one... or as someone like Rufus calls this, bankroll building. There you go.
11:46
Min Woo Lee, right, to not win the Masters. 97 large to win 1778. Now, you do realize that those three now, all the listeners, a, a p- good portion, are rooting for them to win. Oh, 100%. It's just naturally- 100%...
11:59
they root against someone. Uh, like, you know, uh, Goffa Bit Fezzik put that up there. Oh, my God, it'll be the biggest thing ever. Oh, Fezzik, or give, how about this one? Phil Mickelson to not win the Masters.
12:08
There you go. 49 s- 49,750 to win 250 bucks. Now, that's, now let me tell you why that's really good. That, that was 450. I looked at that, by the way. I w- I almost dumped my en- entire account on that.
12:21
But it was minus 450. You're like, I almost, literally I, I said to myself, and I have a good amount in Circa, I said, "What am I gonna win? A couple hundred bucks?" Yeah. You know what I mean? Like- Yeah...
12:29
but that is good. Now, that's only minus 199. That is good. That, that I, I hate to say it's good. That, there's no way Philadelphia's winning.
12:36
But if the better, who- whomever he or she is, is doing this, if they s- find it to be value, value's value. The value's on the no. Yeah. On almost anything in, when, when you bet these type of markets.

13:28
As soon as you said you're, you're doing this for everybody, J&J Watering Hole on Twitter, "I'll be in town next week, Bill. 2XL green, please." And then Fezzik via text- Fezz... our buddy Steve Fezzik.
13:38
[laughs] He says, uh, "Guys, just an FYI, I'm right between large and extra large right now. Just thought you might wanna know." Fezz has lost a lot of weight from the last, like, five, six years. Yeah.
13:48
Yeah, but he al- he's, he, he's, he absolutely has, and that's all because of his wager with Todd Wishnev, where they lost an obscene- Yeah... amount of weight together. Yeah.
13:55
Um, and but Fezzik is now hovering right around the 210 mark, and he keeps saying, like, every other day, he's like, "Oh, I'll be 199 in two days." Oh, if he's 210, he's getting an extra large. He's out of his mind.
14:07
Large. Yeah, he's, "I'll be 199 in a day and a half." Be one of the little guys with a large. [laughs] Yeah. Yeah, he's like 210. The, um- Yeah... a buddy of mine just texted me.
14:15
He said he's listening, and he said tomorrow's 10,000. He hasn't seen cheaper than 10,000. He's in Augusta. So, so 16K today, 10K tomorrow. 10,000 tomorrow.
14:24
Nine on, believe it or not, the cheapest day is 9,000 on Su- on Sunday. 9,000. Oof. That's insane. I mean, come on. Th- th- th- I mean, it's out of control. But I think there's a lot of people listening- Yeah...
14:37
that even hearing that price, they're like, "Well, it's still this one bucket item list that I've never checked off. I still might do it." Listen, I, I have a friend that I had on my podcast, um- Once [laughs]...
14:53
and, no, I had a friend on my, on my podcast- Yeah... yeah, um, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and he's the largest seller of Augusta Masters tickets out there. He's in Augusta. He owns, like, six houses in Augusta.
15:04
He rents them all out for the Masters, sells tickets. Listen, uh, uh, uh, two weeks ago, you coulda got tickets for, like, 2,000 each day.
15:13
I mean, so this is, this is just crazy and, you know, and I don't want to do a shameless- How much-... plug for the guy, but- How, well, w- would you like to do a shameless plug? They can't get them now.
15:20
I want to get them. Oh, okay. Yeah. How many bets do you have going, the Masters? Not many. Yeah. Not as many as you'd think. Probably about five or six, seven. I mean, and I don't even know, like, the, the...
15:29
When I came in here, you know, you, you, you see it at 7:30 AM. You're saying, "Wow, this guy's on hole 12?" Like, like- Yeah... they started so ear- I- I- did everybody start? No, not everybody yet. Okay.
15:39
There's still, we still have some guys who, uh, who have yet to, uh, have yet to tee off.
15:43
Uh, there's a bunch, so it's still, I mean, it's still super early and, and again, guys like Scottie Scheffler are only through two or three holes, so- Yeah...
15:49
it's, it's the, it's the first round and it's early in the first round. Yeah, no, I, I, I, it's hard to make win bets on a tournament, even if they, Circa hold is lower, like I said, than the lot.
16:00
Even, but if I put all my, by side by side, put all my accounts, all my where, you know, every single sportsbook,
16:07
and I'm look, I looked last night, 11:00 last night before I went to bed, 12:00, and for an hour I was just looking at the win odds for each place.
16:14
It's impossible to, to, e- even the hold is so much, you're better off just betting straight bets. You know? Mm. Matchups.
16:21
Matchup versus matchup, or over under on the s- total score or something like that, um, than you're, than, than betting, uh, th- these win bets which I know...
16:30
A- and listen, I have no problem with someone sprinkling a little bit, throwing a few bucks on a win bet, but that's what everyone wants to do.
16:37
And by the way, they wanna throw in the win bet of the Masters, the win bet of the Super Bowl, the win bet of the World Series. I'm dead serious. Mm-hmm.
16:43
I have a friend back east in Long Island that, uh, he made a score on this- You mean, you mean parlaying them? Parlays. Oh, yeah. He made a score on this. You know who loves these cross sport parlays is Falica.
16:52
Oh, really? Oh, man. He'll go crazy on them. Yeah, he made a $80,000 score once- Yeah... when FanDuel first opened. He's probably given back the 80. No, he, he bets $1,000 parlays. He's chasing the high.
17:02
Yeah, chasing that high. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and, uh, yeah, he, he won that first one.
17:07
Um- But, but I, uh, listen, I understand the, uh, the thrill of it for those folks because oftentimes, right, like, and then they'll throw in, I know in Falica's case I don't want to speak for him, but, like, a lot of times it'll be a golf tournament- Yeah...
17:19
a tennis tournament- Tennis tournament... right? So if you hit those and then you have this long s- you know, sports season awaiting, I understand. And you know, not, not just 'cause it's Chris, our friend- Yeah...
17:28
because I just said you could sprinkle a little bit, I have no problem with you rooting the whole season, having fun. Yeah, that's what, if I could do this, it's great.
17:35
Now you have a root for the whole season for 100 bucks or something. That's right. I have no problem with you doing that. If it stops you from over-betting something else- Bang... absolutely do it.
17:43
So that point that you just made is, is, uh, when I, I don't really get into Fezzik with it, w- but, you know, he's obviously an anti-parlay guy, famously three reasons, he says, to why you should bet a parlay, and he goes on about that.
17:55
But one of the things that I always say is undefinable in that, in that calculus is just what you pointed out, which is there are some, there are a lot of folks out there, right?
18:06
And you can't, I don't know if you can, you can't quantify this, right? 'Cause you don't know what they would have bet.
18:11
But there is part of this, uh, calculus where it's like, okay, let's just say it's a, it's a Saturday, and they bet a 14-parlay in baseball, right?
18:20
And I don't know how many people this applies to, but if they hit the first couple legs- Some of those folks will just chill the rest of the day hoping the rest of that goes through, and it will prevent them from betting other stuff that they would've lost on anyway, right?
18:32
That's right. So, so there is that that's also thrown in there that, so there's some hidden, hidden pluses in the most, um, sort of, uh, bizarro way that we can't really define. Yes. I agree.
18:44
But what you're talking about is full season stuff also, which, which might take someone off from betting daily baseball or daily whatever. Right, right, right. So Gil will make you laugh. It's a funny thing really.
18:56
Um, it, it wasn't planned out this way. So, you know, my, my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law came to town. They're staying for a week, and I was gonna get them a, I can get them a room on the strip. I said...
19:08
No, they wanted to stay with us. So they're here now. How did you take that by the way? Were you happy about that? [laughs] And I'm, I'm leaving. And my, my brother-in-law's a great guy. Yeah.
19:17
Retired Secret Service agent. He's, he's a tough guy. Yeah. And, um, but now they're asking me, "Can you give us plans what to do every day?" Oh. Like, they have no idea what to do. Oh, man.
19:27
So I'm giving them all my cards so they don't have to pay to park. You know what I mean? Which, which people should do.
19:31
If you have friends or anything, you know, if you're a local here in Vegas or if you have a certain lo- rated card, get extra cards, give them to your friends, let them park for free.
19:40
Don't let them pay for parking in the, in the casino. So I'm giving them all my cards, but I actually feel bad 'cause I'm on the strip every day. I know what to do. You know what I mean? I, I, I know where...
19:49
Like, I know, I know where I would take them, and Downtown's one of them by the way. Let me tell you something. 10 years ago- Oh, yeah... I would never recommend anyone come Downtown. Now- Yeah...
19:58
Circa, look at this place. When you see the sportsbook, it's the Mecca. I mean- Mob Museum. I mean, all kinds of stuff in there. Yeah. Mob M- There are Mob Museum, which I tho- I thought was a gimmick. I really did.
20:06
I said, "This is gonna be a, you know, tchotchke mob..." I actually think they did a great job. Oh, they did. Uh, you walk in, you can get the guided tour. You, you need hours to go, hours and hours. Yeah. You know?
20:17
Um, I mean, they got, like, the electric chair where they, you know, they, I mean, they got, like, the, the wall where the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre happened. They have the wall with the holes in it. Mm-hmm.
20:25
Build, you know, the bullet holes. They turned the guys all around.
20:27
They thought they were, they thought they were federal agents, and they were part of, um, I think it's Capone's gang, and that was Bugs Morang's ga- Bugs Moran's gang, and they put them against the wall and murdered them, and the, the wall's here.
20:37
I mean, pretty cool. It is funny though, 'cause I have family in town too, and the last time my cousin's daughter was in town, right, I did everything with her and her brother, right?
20:46
I would go to shows with them, concerts with them, right? It was a, it was a different thing. You, you get it. But now, like, now she's in town. She's with her new husband or something.
20:54
I'm just like, "Yeah, go here, go there. I'll, I'll, I'll catch up with you guys at dinner." I, I had to l- make them a list. Yeah. I had to make... I told them to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame. I thought it was...
21:01
It's a cool place. Yeah. I told them to stop there.
21:03
I told them, like, different things that w- I, I actually said I'll, I'll, I'll buy them tick- You know, people ask me all the time, "Oh, can you get me tickets to something?" I, I pay. I pa- I, I pay.
21:12
Like, if the Eagles this weekend, I told them they should see the Eagles, that they're that good. Uh, I seen the Eagles at the Sphere. Well, the Sp- and the Sphere is that good.
21:20
I, I seen the Eagles last weekend at the Sphere. Yeah. And it blew me away. I never expected that. I saw it, I saw it about, uh, a few months ago. You had, it had to blow you away.
21:28
It had to be like, wow, they were harmonizing together. Vince Gill's... And I didn't even realize- Vince, Vince Gill was with them... Vince Gill's in...
21:32
Uh, they, when, when, when, when Don Henley comes off the drums and, and the six guys there playing guitar- Yeah... it, it, you know, it, it's, um, uh, it, it... What's his name? I'm trying to think. Uh, Joe Walsh.
21:43
Joe Walsh- Joe Walsh was the highlight of the whole show I thought. Yeah. Yeah. And he can't really talk that well. He has some problems. You know, he has a lot of physical problems. Yeah.
21:50
Asperger's and, uh, he has, like, a s- a form of dementia. He's got a lot of pro... And he partied like a maniac. He a- Like a maniac... he, he talks about it.
21:57
But he can still- But he sung Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good to Me. He sung his solos. Don Henley sung Boys of Summer. Um- Life's Been Good to Me sounds ex- uh, as great as it ever has. I thought it was great.
22:08
I, I thought the show was fanta- The visual- Yeah... you actually got dizzy depending on where you were sitting a little bit. So here's a little pro tip. Yeah.
22:14
If you're going to the, if you're coming to Las Vegas and you, and you should absolutely go to the Sphere. Uh, the Sphere is this unbelievable, um, large sphere that sits in the middle.
22:23
It's iconic now in Vegas, and it's all LED screens. Um, and it's, it, every one is a l- is a tile of its own, and so the visual is a more, is almost more amazing than the- [laughs]... than the concert you're watching.
22:35
It's amazing. Um, the only bad seats are under the first floor overhang. Don't sit there. Anywhere else is great, even way up top- Yeah... where if you're scared of heights, it's a little scary.
22:44
You might get a little vertigo. Very steep. Very steep, but it's fantastic. I thought with the Eagles, and I'm not a monster Eagles fan- Yeah... but it was still worth it.
22:51
You're right, Vince Gill, who had a whole solo country career now- Yeah... playing with them. I did think, the thought occurred to me, that the first half of it visually- Yeah...
23:00
was so spectacular, and I almost pictured Don Henley and his massive ego then saying to the producers, "Okay, for the second half of the concert, make them watch us play music." Okay.
23:12
'Cause I do think it tapered off after that. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, you could be right about that. Yeah. Yeah. Um- Which is, there no problem with that.
23:18
I'm just saying I thought that was, it was, it was heavy loaded up front. Yeah. And by the way, you're absolutely right. You don't even wanna sit in the 100 section. Right.
23:24
I, I say the whole 100 section out, unless you wanna be close to the band then, you know, but, but that doesn't give you the real good experience. I sat in 311, perfect section. I think that might've been my section too.
23:35
Perfect section- Yeah... for like when they, they're driving the road and it was just perfect. They opened up with Hotel California. It just blew the audience away right away. So, uh, 300 is the good section, 200 or 300.
23:45
Agree completely. More Unscripted with The Bill with Bill Krackomberger, @BillKrackman with a K on Twitter, coming back. [upbeat music] A numbers game on VSiN, the sports betting network.
23:56
Aaron Rai is through half his round, half his first round at the Augusta National 89th Masters, and he's four under. Steady as she goes.
24:04
Four under, one stroke lead over Steven Yeager, who's three under through seven, and a two-stroke lead over a quartet of golfers: Joaquin Niemann, Scottie Scheffler, two back, Jordan Spieth, and Tyrrell Hatton.
24:18
All four of those guys, name golfers, two strokes back. Early stages of the Masters, but that's where the leaderboard is right now. My first round leader, Min Woo Lee, still at even par, um, still on his, uh, first nine.
24:30
Through six there. So work to do On this day two years ago, I was at the Masters in my little go-kart. That's right. Your little scooter. Right in front of Magnolia Lane there and, uh- We had you on camera.
24:43
That's right... had you on camera. I s- I, I mean, I was waiting for one of those, "Say, hey, hey, no filming" So this is the... I mean, this is the big thing. When you talk about how much money it is, is it worth it?
24:50
Like, if someone was listening, "Okay, it gets great. It's a lot of money, but, like, should I do it once?" N- not now. Not now. No way. No, it's not worth it.
24:56
Now, next year, I'll just tell you ahead of time, yeah, call Marcus, my buddy Marcus. Call him ahead of time.
25:01
You're gonna get, [laughs] you know, you're gonna get normal prices if you're- What's, what's a normal price now?... six months. A couple grand? Two grand. Okay. Yeah. Two.
25:07
And by the way, the best days to go is not what you think. Probably Wednesday. Wednesday's the most expensive, though. It's a little bit more, like 2,500.
25:16
But Wednesday, when the golfers are out there with their kids and, you know- Yeah... they're, they're... And, and, and even Monday, Tuesday, practice rounds, you can bring your phone.
25:25
You can't bring your phone during the tournament. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday- They, they get your phone at the front...
25:30
not only do they get your phone, if you're caught with a phone, they demand your Masters badge, and you're gonna be gone forever. You're never gonna get that ticket again.
25:39
Whoever holds that ticket, and by the way, could be some of the golfers giving them to their, their buddies or whatever. Yeah. I'll say giving. I'll be nice. Um,
25:47
they are not, they're not getting back on the course again. There's certain things that you do, you know, that, uh, that you can't... You know, it, it, Masters is just holds it to a higher standard. And by the way,
25:58
once you go outside the gates, the town's a dump. It, I mean, it's, it's... You can't get, like, like, it's all fast food and, like, it, it- Yeah... you know, the motels. And the motels are ridiculous.
26:09
They're 600 bucks, 500 bucks, um- To stay at, like, a Travelodge or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, we get tweet- Which, uh, o- and once the Masters is over, next week you can stay for 79 bucks.
26:18
We get tweets at Beating The Book. Chris of St. Barts, "Hey, Bill, get Masters tomato pie. It's no Pepe's, but good for $3." I don't know how he even know- Unless he must have heard something.
26:27
That's only, that's brand new this year. By the way, do I have the price? Um, the prices for the Masters food is fantastic. Absolutely... You know, it's, it's nothing crazy.
26:37
It's nothing like crazy food, but the food prices are decent. They're not... They, they don't bust you out. There it is. Look at how beautiful this is. All right, so for the egg salad, which I prefer, $1.50.
26:50
Uh, the pimento cheese, $1.50. Um, the barbecue sandwich, $3. The tomato pie he's talking about, which is brand new this year, $3. The Masters Club chicken salads, $3. Ham and cheese on rye, it's three bucks.
27:02
Um, uh, uh, listen, I, I wanna tell you, though, the, the secret here, the thing that they... Do they have it? There it is. Georgia peach ice cream sandwich, $3. There's nothing like these things.
27:15
Georgia peach ice cream sandwich. Georgia peach. Uh, just Georgia peaches. So yeah, the, the, it's really cool.
27:19
They, they keep them prices low and, um, by the way, the Masters ticket, what do you think a Masters ticket costs? The real cost of it, if you win the lottery or you, you know, you're enabled to, you can buy them.
27:30
You know, only certain families, they pass it down, um, like, like, like rent-controlled buildings in the city. You know, you, you pass them down. 140 bucks. That's what it is. So that's how much it really costs.
27:41
$140, or you could pay 16,000. Yeah. Scott, Scottie Scheffler, who is two strokes back here in the early going of the Masters, live line to win it now, down to three to one. Wow, that's cra- that's crazy. I wanna lay it.
27:53
But, but, but there's gonna be some people right here right now who are like, "He's two back." Right. "Yeah, I better get the plus 300 right now." Um, this- Oh, and why I had that, that, that...
28:02
Why, why I rent one of those scooters, which is a, a, it's a must. Um, the difference b- between the lowest and highest point at the Masters is 175 feet. But that's not, it says nothing about the hills over there.
28:16
Like, the hills are ridic- The, just to walk the course, the hills are... It's, it's the most, probably the most, out of all the tour stops, probably the most treacherous courch- course to walk- Where did you-...
28:28
being a fan... where did you plant yourself? Amen Corner? Did you have a spot? I lo- You know, it's ama- it's amazing there. Once you see Amen Corner, it brings a tear to your eye. So this is why.
28:36
When you see these, the, the, the azaleas, the flowers, and just, just- Yeah... knowing what has happened on these holes.
28:42
And I believe it's the 16th hole or, you know, or during practice rounds, the golfers try to skim it over the lake and get it onto the thing. [laughs] It's really fun. It's a- Yeah...
28:50
it's a great ex- That's why I like going that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. But I w- didn't wanna miss the show here today. This is what I do. Um- Lawrence Gratkins on Twitter talking about the, uh, cross-sport parlays.
28:59
He goes, "MGA, uh, MGM DraftKings cash outs after three wins in t- in 14 parlays allow for great arbitrage opportunities." Maybe he's not even talking about- Wow... cross-sports. Exactly.
29:09
Maybe he's just talking about them in general. Um, I th- Your guys are great. Look what they put, they put the price board- There it is... the menu board up there. [laughs] There it is. Egg salad, $1.50. Yeah.
29:17
Pimento cheese- It's great... $1.50. Yeah. No, they're, they're great. That, that, that's something they're known for, but yet the golf shop, there's a line out to the gate sometimes almost.
29:28
It's ridiculous, um, the, the, the line to the golf shop. But, you know, you can only get them stuff, uh, th- those things, them stuff. I'm not really talking well. [laughs] I'm sorry.
29:38
Um, you can only get those things at that Masters golf hou- clubhouse. Uh, you know, the, the, the, the T-shirts, play T-shirts. And, and by the way, everyone loves the T-shirts too, and the T-shirts are good.
29:49
They're like 30, 40 bucks, so you might be getting a T-shirt. Um, anyway, but yeah, the, the... So anyway, yeah, the, the, the, but you can only get them there or on eBay.
29:56
Now, there's a lot of people that go there, and I s- met, I met a guy last year. I'm not ratting him out, but I, I, I met a guy that knew me, and he goes, "Hey, Crack, how are you?" And this, and that.
30:05
He was talking to me. And I'm, I seen the stuff he was g- I was like, "Did..." 'Cause they have a new policy. They have a new procedure now. You can put everything in boxes and ship it home.
30:13
You don't have to take it with you and carry it anywhere. You just pay the, they, they have gi- girls outside. They'll box it up. This guy bought so much stuff. I was like, "Wow, you have a lot of friends."
30:21
He goes, "Well, I'm actually in the resale business. I sell all this stuff." Like, what a great idea, though. Yeah. What a great...
30:26
You know, he's making thousands and maybe making 10,000, maybe more, just this resale Masters stuff. John A.
30:32
Cornell Jr., "I pull over to watch your segment with Crack every week when driving to the office so that I'm intentionally late." Oh, wow. "Clients' calls, clients' calls get returned. Thank you.
30:42
Fairway, Fair-" Oh, thank you, sir. "Fairway Fred," he said what you said. He said, "Practice rounds are way better. Watch the players skip it across [laughs] the 16th, uh, hole pond."
30:51
Bill Jacoby, "I was lucky enough to attend the Masters in 2016. Top five takeaway, the bathrooms ran like machines." Oh, there's many people in there working the bathrooms. "Long lines move quickly.
31:02
Never seen anything like it." It's unbelievable. He's right. The, the bathrooms, they're, they're like Circa bathrooms. They're clean. Someone's always in there cleaning, and, and they're, they get you through.
31:11
[laughs] Uh, it's, it's amazing. What do you mean? Is there someone in there encouraging you to move it along? Yes. Like, really? They really are. There, there's like five guys in the bathroom cleaning at all times.
31:19
Okay. He's right. Very good. Okay, that's enough. Very observant. I mean- You, you've been here long enough. Go. Okay.
31:23
Uh, Vegas regular, "The trick at Augusta is to get a pimento cheese sandwich and a chicken sandwich and combine them- Ooh... then, then chase it down with a Georgia peach ice cream sandwich, plus EV." Wow. There you go.
31:34
Do the old combine. Yeah, he's right about that. I love it, love it. So listen, I wanna talk about a couple people. Yes. One you know. Mm-hmm. We'll start with the one, uh, that you know, uh, Jimmy the Prop Guy. Yes.
31:45
I haven't seen him in a couple years. Oh, no. I went to go see him the other day. Uh, first time. He, he has a new business. He's out of the prop business. He made a lot of money. The guy made tons of money.
31:53
Um, a- and, and- Jimmy the Prop Guy did not like it when we talked about certain things on the show. Yeah. Yeah. He still doesn't. Yeah. He's, he's sick. He's a sick guy.
32:01
[laughs] No, so, so, uh, you know, he, he, uh, he's, he's out, and he, he, he bought a nice business.
32:07
So we went over, we went over to the pizza place, uh, over there where his business is, which is called Good Pie, which is one downtown too. Oh, it's famous, Good Pie. Oh, is it famous down here?
32:15
God, how can I not know that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. People love Good Pie. Well, let me tell you- There's Evil Pie and there's Good Pie, right? I, I... Listen, I've had Evil Pie. Good Pie blew it away. Yeah.
32:24
Um, I went to that Good Pie, local place. I was surprised by the prices. Now, if I'm getting surprised by the prices, what does...
32:30
You know, I, I mean, it was six bucks for a slice with cheese, seven for a slice with pepperoni, uh, you know, $7 for a Sicilian slice, and I would thought it was a lot of money for local... That's local Las Vegas. Yeah.
32:41
$7 for a slice. But it is what it is. I gue- I guess that's the price these days. Sounds like you thought it was worth it, though.
32:46
My cousin on the boardwalk in Jersey has the, blows away most of the pizzas i- in- in United States. He's 3.50. I mean, I, I, I don't, I don't get it. Anyway, um, yeah, the, the pizza was excellent.
32:57
[laughs] I knew that was the end of this. Yeah. The pizza was actually really good. Yeah. But they didn't ca- I was surprised they didn't take cash. Oh. Which is unbelievable, a local place not taking cash, Good Pie.
33:07
It's happening. Uh, no, uh, c- credit card only. I was like, "Wow." Oh. And then they were so nice in there. The service was great. Pizza was great. I didn't mind pa- I paid...
33:15
I don't know, Jimmy never changes, but, um... No, I mean, you know, you know, he made a comment too. He made such a good comment. I, I wrote it down- Yeah... but of course now I don't have it now.
33:23
He said at this point in his life... I said, "Hold on, I'm gonna ru- I have to use that on air," and of course I, I don't, I don't have it written down.
33:30
He said at this point in his life, though, um, here it is, he wants to maximize happiness over money. 100%. 100%. You know, he, he's approaching, like, 70. Um, or he might be 70. He, he, he looks every bit of 70.
33:44
Sorry, Jim, it is what it is. Jimmy, really? He looked great back in the day. He got old. Oh. Yeah. Um- [laughs] Sorry. Sorry, Jimmy. Um. [laughs] I love making fun- Yeah... teasing Jimmy.
33:54
Um, but he was so happy to see me, and that's part of his maximizing of happiness, he said. Yeah. He hasn't seen me in a couple years.
34:01
He was so happy to see me, b- but yet he still didn't pay, so, um- Who's the g- who's the guy I don't know that you wanna talk about? Oh, yeah, we'll get it. Well, it's only th- we, we- Okay...
34:08
yeah, we- well, on the, on the backside of the break. I liked something he said too. So, uh, but yeah, no, I, I like... I never heard no one say that.
34:14
At this point in my life, I wanna just max- Don't you feel that way the older you get? You know, I still wanna make money. Well, we all do, but don't you- I don't know if I wanna retire...
34:21
yeah, but as you see the, uh- But I mean, I live stupidly, so... as the finish line gets closer- Yeah... as one might say- Yeah... don't you feel that way? You know, yeah, I, I guess I do.
34:30
Uh, but I, I'll never stop betting sports. I love it. Oh, no. I enjoy it too much.
34:33
What the heck would we- I mean, if I lived like a normal person, I'd probably have enough, but- What the heck would we do if we didn't do that? Yeah. I'll always bet. I'll bet to the end.
34:39
Bill Krackenberger, @BillKraknMan with a K. Wise Kracks, the name of his podcast, coming back. [upbeat music] A Numbers Game on VSiN, the sports betting network.
34:56
Back on The Numbers Game, live from Circa. Time for our GBank Best Bets of the Day, courtesy of GBank, the official bank of VSiN. Uh, my Masters bets are sparse. They're not...
35:07
I don't have that many of them, but I do have some. Sepp Straka outright 70.5 to 1, and Rory McIlroy added last night at plus 750 to win this. Rory, I believe he had to tee off, or if he is, he's just about to.
35:20
Um, top 10, Sepp Straka at plus 554, and first round leader today, Min Woo Lee at 39 to 1, and let's just say that doesn't look that promising right now.
35:30
Min Woo Lee still even par through seven, four shots behind the leader, Aaron Rai, who sits atop the leaderboard with a one-stroke lead at four under over Steven Yeager, who's three under through eight.
35:42
Neiman, Scheffler, Hatton, all at two under, two strokes back. Kelly's on the Pacers tonight, his one, uh, foray into the, uh, into the association tonight.
35:51
Again, the last days of the 2024-'25 NBA regular season, and so, uh, playoff positioning, both the East and the West, obviously up for grabs. Zach Cohen had big things to say about the Pacers earlier today.
36:04
Kelly is on the Pacers, minus nine, hosting, uh, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Looking like nine-and-a-halfs now sort of sprinkled across the board. Speaking of Zach, uh, he's on the Pistons tonight.
36:14
Pistons minus three-and-a-half, hosting the Knicks. He's on the T-Wolves, who are laying a point and a half on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies. Uh, plus he had two futures plays.
36:24
Don't really often have futures plays in the NBA this late into the season, but Zach did. He's on the Clippers 17 to 1 to win the Western Conference. These folks cannot get, uh, cannot quit the Clip show.
36:34
17 to 1 to win the West.
36:35
And the Pacers, which he doesn't expect to get home, but he says will get far enough where he can earn on it, 32 to 1, the aforementioned Pacers to win the East from Zach earlier on the show as well.
36:48
Uh, those are your GBank Best Bets of the Day, courtesy of GBank, the official bank of VSiN. Don't forget, Joe Peta has his baseball plays. Pardon me.
36:54
Before we get to Joe Peta, who went two and two, he salvaged a two and two in Major League Baseball yesterday, um, and he's been kind enough to give us his picks, uh, each and every day here on the show.
37:04
So he is, uh, on the season, I wanna get this, uh, right on Joe. Joe is 15 and 12, plus 3.24 units in Major League Baseball. He is on two plays today He is on the Rays, uh, minus 129.
37:18
The Rays, the Tampa Bay Rays on a, uh, on a Thursday getaway day in, in most cases in Major League Baseball. He's on the Rays minus 129. Uh, the Rays today are, uh, taking on the... Who are they taking on?
37:30
Oh, that, the Los Angeles Angels. That price is actually better right now than you can get it at. It's about minus 111 right now, so Joe got, did not get the best of that.
37:39
And, uh, he is also on the Milwaukee Brewers minus 112. Brewers on the road at Coors. That price has got actually gone, uh, gotten away, so that one's a lot worse. That one's at minus 124.
37:51
So better number on the first, worse number on the second exist right now, but it's the Rays and the Brewers from Joe Peta, courtesy of GBank, the official bank of VSIN.
37:59

38:39

38:50
Um, but yeah, no, you also have EdgeBoost. Is, uh, is EdgeBoost on, on the network? A sponsor, yes. Mm-hmm. Right?
38:55
Uh, uh, this, this almost sounds too good to be true what's going on with EdgeBoost, that you get their card, they pa- you load the card for the sportsbook.
39:04
It's, it's really a card intended for sportsbooks and 'cause, and the World Series of Poker. Yeah. You don't have to stand on line. It's actually a really good c- card, um- You wanna go through all the sponsors?
39:14
Profit X? No. What other, no- No, no one else... no other? No. No others? [laughs] But I'm just saying- You wanna do that?
39:18
No, what I'm trying to tell this, uh, this is a real thing for the c- for the, for the viewers- Absolutely, yes...
39:22
that it's actually, these are things that are in your favor to get these things and, and, and they pay you, actually. That one actually pays you, too.
39:29
It's really, uh, interesting times because let me tell you something, payment solutions years ago- Oh, yeah... forget about it. Pfft. No one would take a credit card.
39:36
No one would take anything, so it's good to have these options. All right, so let me tell you- The, the, the days of NetTeller are- There you go... etch- etched into our heads.
39:42
Net- NetTeller froze my money for everyone in the United States for so many months. Mm-hmm. I thought I was getting screwed out of, like, 50 grand, 60 grand. Yeah. Yeah, thank God.
39:50
But, um, no, they, they were, that was like 20 years ago, by the way. Um, uh, so I have a friend, let's just call him the Wild Stallion, all right?
39:58
Um, Wild Stallion, I was telling a story about my, my, uh, another friend who was upset about the stock market and how, "Oh, my God, I retired my 401[k]. I had a million free. It's now a million and one."
40:08
You know, meanwhile, when he retired, it was 700,000. You gotta think of that, too. No one thinks about the money that they made, only it's in their pocket now, and they're, you know, there's, everyone's sick.
40:18
They check every day. They refresh it five times a day- That's right... no matter what. That's right. You know, like, so, um- [laughs]... and, and the Wild Stallion said something to me that was, uh, that's so true.
40:28
He said, um, "There's no amount of money we as sports bettors can ever feel."
40:33
So if we're in the market, it's just another thing to me because w- we, we have so much winning and losing, it doesn't affect our stock market like Joe Public who worked so hard for 40, 30, 40 years.
40:46
Like, we'll get it back. And w- with gambling, we have edges, like, "Eh, we'll get it back. End this, you'll get it back." We take it easy, much easier than Joe Public, and he's right.
40:55
Whoa, you said the right word there, feel. Yeah. Our feel- Yeah... is dis- is distorted in a certain way, right? We're, we're the ones who are sort of distorted.
41:03
I know for us it's normal, but the, you're right, the average person- Oh, no, they're right. Yeah. We're, we're the a- we're the, we're the wackadoos. We are the wackadoos. Yeah, we are. Of course.
41:11
And, and that's why you can't, we're such specific people.
41:13
You can't really explain to someone who's not in this game what it is, our, our relationship with that kind of stuff because it is, it's, it's a constant win-loss thing, and so the relationship with it is, is a little different, right?
41:26
We don't, when you have a big score or if you lose, you don't put it in real-life terms in your head. Like, oh, I just, oh, that car that I, I could just buy a car with this, or I coulda lost a car with.
41:37
We, we don't think about that kind of stuff, right? Right. But the average person is, is, uh, is, yeah, their experience is different. Let's put it that way. You know, [laughs] you're the best. That's why I love you.
41:47
You just repeated a word, it's not really a word, wackadoos. Yeah. So, uh, I wanna tell anyone, tweet me. The first person that tweets me knowing where the movie that Wackadoo's come, comes from- [laughs]...
41:57
you're gonna get a $500 something worth, worth 500 bucks from me. Oh, my God. Uh, yeah, yeah, so the wackadoo. Yeah. Um, anyway, he, he's right, though.
42:04
We, we don't feel it, 'cause I have, listen, I have a, an amount of money. I, I threw some money in the market, you know, uh, a year ago and, uh, maybe two years ago, and yeah, okay, I gave back a lot of the money, yes.
42:16
Yes, I had a nice profit of, uh, you know, I'll just tell you, I had a nice profit of, like, 20,000. Okay, it went down, and now I'm still overall plus, like, after yesterday, like, nine grand.
42:27
So I, I'm happier, 10 grand. I'm, I, it, even if I was even, it's a long-term thing, and, you know, I know people, and I understand, though. People are getting older.
42:37
You're, you're retiring, and you, you, that money's a nest egg for your family. I'm not saying that.
42:41
I'm just saying long term, it, it usually is a winning proposition for people, and I just wanted to, uh, it was interesting how, how he related that.
42:48
Ryan Hyatt, "Rarely are we disappointed in Bill Krackenberger when he takes time to join Gil on, and Kelly on VSIN, but today we are. It took 39 minutes past the hour to talk about great pizza. Unacceptable." Oh.
43:00
Unacceptable. Did I say great, oh, pizza. Pizza, yeah. Yeah. I talk about pizza on my podcast, so my wife actually said, "You talk about pizza too much," so.
43:06
All right, speak of the- Listen, it's probably America's favorite food, I would think. If you had one food to eat and there were no consequences to eating that food, would pizza be that food? No. No. What would it be?
43:15
No, I, I love a good steak. Okay. Yeah Some people like pizza I'm a steak guy. Um- Yeah... uh, Wisecracks, the name of the podcast. Yeah. You and John Orlando. And, and Randy McKay. And Randy McKay.
43:24
He wasn't on, he wasn't on last week, but- Regular... Randy comes on almost every week, you know- Yeah... talk about, talk about just different things and, you know, professional. How, how many episodes you do a week?
43:32
One, one a week? One a week. One a week. Yeah. And then the Fox show, you still doing that? Fox, uh, Fox is, um, on the weekend, Fox Sports Radio nationwide. It's on Sirius, one of the 500 networks.
43:41
I'm blessed to be on there with Jeff Schwartz and Brian Ngo every Sunday morning. Uh, you know, that we, we went year-round now, so we're doing 6:00 to 9:00 East Coast. I'm sorry, s- East Coast is 9:00 to 12:00.
43:52
We're doing that, and, um, it, it... football season's great. A- and I run so stupid on there giving out picks. [laughs] Uh, it just, how can you run so much better than actually betting, like sometimes?
44:03
Like I'll, I'll put something on there, go to bet it, I forget to bet it. I'll put, you know, and, and it's based on may- maybe the sponsor, they have such good lines on a, a lot of things.
44:11
Um, but yeah, so I do that, and then I, I, I actually do, um, I'm, I'm doing some wager talk stuff. They, the year and a half they've been talking to me into helping them out, doing some videos at Westgate and stuff.
44:22
Um, I go over there. Yesterday I was at South Point all day. Kind of a little upset about a couple... I, I love South Point. You got, yeah, I, I tweet about it and everything.
44:31
I, I, I can't believe that yesterday I went to the, after playing video poker, losing a good amount of money, I went to the host desk, turned me down for a comp. Ooh. They said, y- and they, you know what they told me?
44:42
Hmm. "You won a jackpot on April 4th of $4,000. That counts against you." Said, "I just, I just lost 1,200." "Yeah, but you won 4,000 April 4th." And you wanna know what it is? I'm up for the year. Wow.
44:57
I've run really good in video poker. That's how they calculate, yeah. I'm up for the year there. And, uh, but I, I, I was shocked.
45:03
You, you should never tell a customer that you won for the y- you won a jackpot two weeks ago after losing 1,200 bucks. You should never tell a customer that.
45:12
Um, so I'm kind of upset at them right now, and you know I'm real fair. I talk good and bad about everything. You do. You know? You do that.
45:18
Uh, all right, Aaron Rai, Steven Yeager tied atop the, uh, leaderboard here in the early stages of the Masters, both four under with a two-stroke lead over the rest of the field. Stormy is next.
