The numbers told the story. They always do. It's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a Numbers Game with Gil Alexander on VSiN.
0:10
Hour number two of a Numbers Game at VSiN, the sports betting network, VSiN.com, GamePlus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, and of course, SiriusXM channel 158. What's happening, party people? It's Gil Alexander.
0:22
That's Kelly Midlan, producer number nine. So much more than a producer. Ah, he does it all around here. How was the, uh, did you just do a restroom run? Is that what you- Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. How'd it go? Went well?
0:31
Successful. Thank you. Good. Successful. Glad to hear it. Uh, usually it's Felika and Fezzik this hour, but it is no Fezzik. Fezzik will join us around Wednesday of next week, by the way. He's on a summer schedule.
0:43
Uh, he'll join us Wednesday next week. Felika will be here momentarily, uh, and so will Stormy and JBT from Omaha. I hope they're, uh, what do you think their state will be? Their, their, their physical condition?
0:54
Uh, I think they're gonna be thrilled. You know why, Gil? Why? Because all they gotta do then is about two hours and 30 minutes, uh- Oh, and they're done... of stuff, and then they are clear.
1:03
They get to take in some baseball- Ah... some ballpark food. Fantastic. Maybe a little booze. As opposed to Mitch- Sea-... and Paul, who have to do a show tomorrow also. Correct, yeah. Oh, so they'll be great.
1:14
They've got the, they've got the real burden this week- Yeah... out there. All right. Um- So. So here's what happens on this show.
1:20
We do a little something called Are We Sure, and yesterday we, uh, we eventually run it into a wall. And you have more Are We Sures for us, correct? I do. Shall we, shall- I do, I do have more Are We Sures.
1:29
Shall we do a formal opening to it? Yeah, let's, sure, let's do it, let's do it. Let's do it. You think you know what's going on in the sports betting world? Are you sure? I'm positive.
1:40
Gil and Kelly tackle the hard-hitting questions on another exciting edition of Are We Sure? Yes. Sweeping the nation. It's a good open by Rob Moreno. In the house today. Roberto. Getting him to show up to work.
1:53
Roberto Moreno. You like, you like that, you like the, the compliment sandwich there? Yeah. It was like compliment, insult. Well. You gotta come up with another compliment. Well, never be too nice to Rob, I see.
2:03
Well, last weekend he was wearing white glasses, which, which was cool. Was he really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, white-rimmed glasses. All right. He, he showed up in style for Ludacris.
2:11
Uh, all right, Gil, are we sure an SEC team will win the College World Series? Did you go to Ludacris, by the way? Yeah. You did? Oh, yeah, I did. Oh, that wasn't a joke on Twitter? No. It was dead serious. Oh, okay.
2:20
It was their Saturday night, yeah. It was an awesome time. Where was it? Uh, uh, down at the AM. It was at the AM? Yeah, down at the AM. That's fantastic. Luda. Right at the pool, man. Uh [laughs].
2:29
I was like 10 feet away. That's awesome. I just kept, I just kept, uh, creeping closer. Did you really? We had VIP st- uh, setup.
2:35
We had a nice VIP setup for, uh, for, for some people that went, and then, uh, there was just no security, so I just kept watching [laughs] walking closer and closer to the stage.
2:43
By the end of the show, I was right, I was like 10 feet away from the stage. Were you screaming at him? Nah, nah. He was doing, he did a great job. Put on a great show. I'm sorry, what was the question for Are We Sure?
2:52
What was it? I don't know, but I do have one complaint. Oh. The only complaint I have of the show is, okay, Ludacris is often featured in other people's songs, right? That is correct. Featuring Ludacris. Right.
3:01
That's right. So he decided for some reason to do three of those songs in a row. Oh. Where, like, Usher, yeah, okay, I understand that. You gotta play that one.
3:09
But then he did two more after that where he was, like, the side act, and I was like, "This is kinda weird. Maybe mix these in throughout the show." [laughs] Did you make him aware of your displeasure? No, I did not.
3:18
I did not get to- Come on, Luda... did not get to tell him that, uh, to his face. Oh. Uh, okay, are we sure an SEC baseball team will win the College World Series in Omaha? No, I'm not sure. No, it's college baseball.
3:29
I mean, again, it's, it's, it's a, it's a fakakta bracket, where you get double elimination. One of them's gonna lose one right off the bat. They play each other.
3:38
Um, so one of them would have to do it from a, from a loser bracket anyway, where it's dicey at that point.
3:43
So no, I'm not sure, because we've, all we've seen in this, in this, you know, in the super regionals and the regionals was mayhem. I don't see why mayhem wouldn't continue. So no, we're not sure.
3:53
But did you kinda hint earlier that you were gonna plan on betting whoever loses this ga- uh, first game? No, what I was saying is, yeah, I'm glad you brought that up.
4:00
No, if you, if that is your, if that is your s- your belief, that one of the SEC teams is gonna win, the way to play it ought to be, for big bang of your bu- or most bang for your buck, is to wait for the loser and then go in hard, because that's the, that's the sort of long shot play.
4:16
I, I mean, we can't say anything without seeing adjusted odds, but I'm actually kind of interested to see what the futures market looks like with the winner of that game.
4:25
I, I mean, I- Take the SEC talent at, like, even money, if there's something like that, to win it. SEC talent, S- S-shme-shme-shmell-ent, because, I mean, they had 13 teams in this. They're down two.
4:35
We're still, we're still acting like they're so clearly better than everybody else? Uh, yeah. I don't, I don't think so. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I, I have no bets.
4:45
[laughs] Listen, I have no bets either, so maybe I should stop talking. That's right. Oh, man. I- My, my three are all gone by the wayside, and one of them was an SEC team in Vanderbilt.
4:54
By the way, this is the greatest part of doing shows on a sports betting network, though, is because when me and Gil get in a disagreement, we can say, "Bet it, then. Let's bet each other."
5:02
But- Or we can say, like, "Why are we arguing about this?" But, that's right. "We don't have a bet on it." What was the, the Parleh line was, "So bet it." [laughs] So bet it. That's right. With his arms swing?
5:09
That's right. I used to do sports talk radio. That would drive me nuts. You do a whole segment arguing- Oh... with someone. You'd get to a commercial break and be like, "Hey, you wanna put 20 bucks down on it?" Yeah.
5:16
"Nah, I'm good. I don't bet." That's right. We, we operate on that currency. All right. Come on, man. All right. Are we sure the Yankees should be even money to reach the ALCS? To- Not to win... to reach. To reach.
5:29
To reach the ALCS. So, um, they end up being a top seed in the American League, a one or two seed, so they end up only having to get through a best of five, in other words.
5:41
Let's say that's, that's their path in the playoffs. No, I mean, that shouldn't be the price. That should not be the price.
5:47
After all, their, their lead in the American League East, while it is a lead, is still not, like, a substantial lead. Um, and again, just looking at the calendar, it does still say June 13th.
5:58
It's a four-and-a-half lead over the upstart Blue Jays, and a five-and-a-half game lead over the Rays. So, um, even money to Win the division, be one of the top two seeds, and then get through a best of five?
6:11
No, you should still get more bang for your buck. I was kind of surprised at how short those odds were. Yeah. All right. Are we sure the Rockies should even be listed to make the playoffs, Kel?
6:19
[laughs] Should even be listed? I know, it's like, I'm like kind of kidding, but- So this is a, uh, this is a bookmaker, uh, preference selection, uh, question? Dude, the odds are 40 to 1. Yeah, no, I mean- 40 to 1?
6:31
What are we talking about? No, they're not making the playoffs. This just in. Though, uh, what a miraculous win they had yesterday versus the, uh, Giants. Uh, they're 13 and 55.
6:42
I'm told that's not g- I'm getting this in my ear right now. I'm told that's not good. Hm. Danny Higgins confirming. Yeah. Oh, I'm told that's not good. That win percentage is 191. Good gracious. 191.
6:54
They're, uh, they only have 27 and a half games to make up in their division if they were thinking about winning the division.
6:59
Of course, they can get there as a wildcard, and in that case, uh, the Giants and Padres are only 25 and a half and 26 and a half games in front of them right now. Um, just to name a couple teams, [laughs]
7:09
you know, that are vying for a wildcard. Uh, so yeah, no. It, it should not be listed, but yeah, just for thoroughness sake, sure, put it up there. Yeah. Just maybe go a little longer than 40 to one.
7:18
But it's like, but it's like here, th- they put it up there, and the thinking in the book, like, if you had a cartoon cloud over the bookmaker's head, it would be saying, "Let's see if any of these jabronis bet this."
7:28
Let's leave that. My, my- Yeah... bigger thing is like, why is it 40? Like, make, make, make, make it 100- Exactly... and just t- steal money off people That's, that's the bigger question. Right? Yes, 40 to one.
7:35
Why is it only 40? Yes. Okay. Are we sure, I'm gonna re, I'm gonna reword this question. Are we sure, I'm gonna put you in the odds maker seat again. Hm. Are we sure the Steelers should be minus 160 to miss the playoffs?
7:47
Mm. People are gonna hate me [laughs] because they should be a little higher than that. They should be higher than that. They should be higher. They should be higher than minus 160.
7:53
Yes, I'm sorry Pittsburgh Steelers fans, I know. I've heard this Mike Tomlin stat that you guys have thrown out before. Um, no, I think they should be a little higher than that.
8:02
So- They're, they're, it's, the, what is it ab- why do we think Aaron Rodgers is good? Why? Why do we think this? And it just, it's just beyond that. Let's say you do think that.
8:13
Listen, in the end, Pittsburgh got the, you know how you s- things go, in any given season, things go your way, a lot of, or things go against you. We talk about a baseball season, 162 games, right?
8:24
Um, and every team falls on a spectrum. The Pi- the Pittsburgh Steelers in the end, what did they go 10 and seven was it last year? Yep.
8:31
They had, I mean, there were so many games that they skirted by, and I know we talk about Tomlin magic beans.
8:37
If we did the whole run differential thing, like, you know, I had the other day when I was doing MLB props and I applied a Pythagorean theorem, Bill James Pythagorean theorem to it, and then I did sequencing of runs.
8:46
If we applied the same things to, to, uh, football, Pittsburgh shouldn't have been a 10 and 17 last year. Um, so I, to me, it's just the competition also, right? Even in their division.
8:57
It's like, good God, the, the AFC is so stacked. And so no, I don't, I don't think Pittsburgh should be only minus 160. It should be, it should be much more to, not much more, but it should be more to miss.
9:09
Now, I've said I'm gonna stay away from betting the win total this year for- Yeah... for like the fourth or fifth consecutive year. Uh. But I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pass that bet up.
9:16
'Cause you, 'cause you- No... you brought it up. It's, it's not just, it's not just the Steelers. It's the AFC. Yeah. When we're tak- we're taking into account the entire AFC in a yes/no playoff price.
9:26
At minus 160, I just don't see them being anywhere close to that. Um, okay. Are we sure Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen will win the MVP? By the way, somebody rack that segment so that people can kill us come, uh, December.
9:38
Yeah. I, s- dead serious. Yeah. [laughs] Darnell, 8:09 Friday. 8:09 Friday. June 13th. Mark that down s- so people can crush us. [laughs] If we really, if we, we, uh, we could have two segments worth of- Yeah...
9:50
m- uh, probably two segments of me alone crapping on the Steelers, and then like a segment of you. We could do that for like a whole hour one day. The longer this goes on, the- We can go back the last three years...
9:59
the longer this goes on, the more I drift towards your position, but you still have the, you're still the king of this. I- Steelers hate... dude, three years in a row getting beat. Yeah.
10:06
Like, I can't, I can't play the win total again. I can't. The yes/no, maybe. What was the MVP question? I'm sorry. Are we sure Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson will win the MVP once again? No, we're not sure.
10:16
I don't know if you know this, the season hasn't started yet. You're, you're gonna, you're gonna take two teams, two guys against the field at this point?
10:23
No, I mean, I think, listen, if they both stay healthy, they're obviously gonna be in the mix. But I don't know if you know this, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, pretty good players. As is that Jayden Daniels character.
10:34
Um, and there's a number of guys, like what if Jalen Hurts, I mean, I don't know about Jalen Hurts, but if Justin Herbert would, would finally have that season, you know, that everyone expects him to have in terms of- No, I mean-...
10:43
team success. Y- yeah, no, no, no. The, the season that everybody talks about him like he has every year, and I'm like, "He doesn't have that every year. What are you talking about?"
10:51
Oh, guy, here comes the- How many rings does he have? Here comes the Justin Herbert hate in June. [laughs] No, I'm not sure it's only Allen and Jackson.
10:58
There are other players that, I mean, if Burrow just throws up cartoon stats, he's obviously in the mix. Yeah. I, I mean, I think they are the two very rightful favorites.
11:08
Yeah, I mean, by, by- I didn't mean to word that-... by, by the amount that they are, right? Yeah, I didn't mean to word that as like I'm not betting that. I'm not like- No...
11:14
betting those two in preseason, but I still think it is a very, very large percentage chance that it is Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, each plus 550 to win MVP.
11:24
Joe Burrow plus 650, Mahomes seven to one. Jayden Daniels, not sure if you've heard of him, Kelly, plus 750. I did put a, uh, bet in, uh, last week on one of the best NFC quarterbacks. Who is it? Matthew Stafford. Oh.
11:38
Rams. Rams. Coming for you. 35 to one currently. Did you see the, uh, Commanders fan who, uh, a newborn daughter, he made her watch 54 minutes of Jayden Daniels highlights? It was on TikTok. Yeah, it's just fantastic.
11:49
54 minutes. Palika next on The Numbers Game.

12:34
Everything all right with you? Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. You, you- I'm just tracking all my losers in golf so far... little golf aggravation happening? Yeah, it's bad. We were talking during the break.
12:42
My ba- basically my entire US Open's gonna come down to today 'cause it, it, it's shaping up to be quite a bloodbath on the overall pre-tournament bets. Uh, but I do have a 60 to 1 miss to cut parlay- Ooh...
12:53
that is in really, really good position right now. So- Who, who are we rooting for to miss here? Uh, we got, let me pull it up. We got, well, Tom Kim's gonna be the biggest sweat.
13:02
He's the guy that I'm in the most out of position, but Cam Smith, Nick Dunlap, Tom Kim, Nick Taylor, Hideki Matsuyama, and Justin Thomas all to miss the cut. Oh, man. So Tom Kim is the, is the one we need to miss here.
13:13
I'm rootin', I'm rooting for bad things to happen- That's right... Tom Kim, on the golf course. By the way, J.J. Spaun, you know, remember that game you played as a kid, red light, green light? Mm-hmm.
13:20
Do you remember that game? Mm-hmm. You're, did you ever play with the person who was, uh, they would just, they, they weren't really playing it kosher.
13:27
They would just say that the person closest to them moved every time, and they'd have to go to the back. They played Squid Game's, uh, version? That's correct. J.J. Spaun appears to be that right now.
13:34
He's chilling in the clubhouse. He's four under. No one can get to him. Nobody can get to him. Nobody can get to him. He's four under. Uh, he's yet to tee off.
13:42
Thurston Lawrence, yet to tee off, is, is the only person three under now. It's okay. Ludvig hasn't teed off yet. That's who's gonna get him. Okay. Uh, Sam Burns, low- Okay... round of the day, four under through 12.
13:53
He is, along with Si Woo Kim, who has yet to tee off, two back at two under, and then there are only four other golfers who are under par. So what's that? Total of eight golfers under par.
14:02
That is how a United States Open should be. Sam Burns looks like he's, uh, remembered how to play golf consistently again after last week going to a playoff, and then this week looking, uh, good again.
14:12
And Daniel Berger trying to do leaflet things. He's at even, even par. All right. I'd be so happy- I see-... for Berger... I see you, Daniel Berger. Uh, Chris Fallica has some golf bets remaining. Yeah, he does.
14:23
Let's get them before they tee off. He is The Bear. You may know him as that. Uh, he works over there at Fox Sports, and what a fabulous job he did, uh, on the Belmont Stakes coverage.
14:32
He joins us now courtesy of the Progressive Guest Line, @ChrisFallica, F-A-L-L-I-C-A. How you doing, man? Oh, I'm, I'm doing, I'm doing all right.
14:41
Just, uh, sitting here watching the, uh, watching the golf, f- so checking out the tennis scores as well from over at the Queens, and, uh, yeah, just, just en- enjoying myself.
14:50
Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff that everybody see, a lot of the stuff that I sent Kelly, uh, last night, I didn't know tee times at the time.
14:57
Only two of the things that I had passed along, uh, have not gone yet, and that was, uh, Hideki Matsuyama, uh, over 73 and a half, so I think that was, that would be, uh, be good for you, Kelly, right?
15:07
In you miss cut parlay? Yes. Yes. Yes. Mm-hmm. Let's go. And, and then, uh, and then I heard, uh, Kelly mention before the, uh, the Taylor Pendrith over J.J.
15:15
Spaun, uh, head-to-head, so those are the only two things that, uh, have not gone yet that I did, uh, pass along. But I'm trying to fig- this is crazy. I literally, I actually did, uh, just bet J.J.
15:27
Spaun second round leader, uh, at plus 330 at a site in a faraway place and, uh, but, uh, you, you've been joking, like no one's coming to get him, but he- Yeah...
15:36
what, what, what is, what, what's the hi- what's the, the low score of the, of the morning gonna be? Like, he's gonna, he's gonna take the, take the, start the round with a, a, a pretty good, uh, heads up.
15:47
If he shoots 72, that might be good enough to, uh, to be second round leader, so he's kind of been, been forgotten.
15:53
This might just be a situation, remember like Wyndham Clark a couple years ago was just so far ahead of a lot of the big guns that no one could just come, no one could get him, and, uh, no one might be able to reel him in here.
16:03
So i- if you want to bet Spaun second round leader and even Spaun, uh, to, to win this thing, I'm, I'm not opposed to that at all. Th- this is also one of those things we talked about yesterday, Gil.
16:11
Like, there is, i- if, if you're not a big golf fan out there, like, there is a massive difference between J.J. Spaun and Thurston Lor- Lawrence, okay? Mm-hmm. Like, there is a- Yes...
16:20
massive divide in talent between those two level of players. I know J.J. Spaun might not be the most popular guy, uh, when it comes to names on the PGA Tour, but he is a very, very solid player.
16:30
Yeah, we w- we w- Lawrence couldn't make a cut worldwide. Didn't he miss, like, eight straight cuts worldwide coming into this thing? Yeah, it was, yeah, it was eight of 10 or something, yeah.
16:36
Yeah, we talked about Spaun a little yesterday. He's had, he's had a few really good finishes this year- Mm-hmm... most notably at the Tournament Players Championship, where he lost in a playoff, uh, to Rory.
16:45
Um, why do my eyes keep going to Si Woo Kim, who has yet to tee off? Why do I, why am I getting a Si Woo Kim might win this tournament feeling? It'd be awesome.
16:54
Y- y- y- y- if you can find someone from that Si Woo Kim, Ben Griffin, uh, as Kelly mentioned, Ludvig Gberg, like, like someone who is plus one or even or just over par right now, like, you put, you put forth a good round and, and, and you could be, uh,
17:10
could, could be right in it. Uh, all right. Let's go to tennis. Let's go to the grass season- Mm-hmm... uh, that lasts a mere few weeks. Uh, and they're playing in London.
17:19
They're playing the, uh, Queens tournament in London. By the way, I love the, the visuals on this. Like, you go from the red clay- Oh, it's gorgeous... you go from the red clay- Off...
17:25
of Paris, and then you go to the grass. I love the Queens tournament 'cause that brick building- Yeah... abuts the court. It's so- What is that? It's- What is that building?
17:33
I, I think- Is it just a part of the tennis club? I believe it's part of the tennis club. Okay. Yeah. It, it's just so, it's very cool to watch. Uh, you do have a Wimbledon pick, though, I'm told. You have a pick?
17:42
Yeah, I, I, I bet Maddie Keys at 18 to 1, uh, to win Wimbledon. Remember, she, she was pro- probably gonna win the thing last year until she, uh, hurt her hamstring.
17:52
I remember every- just, just the emotional scene there. Uh, she, she couldn't go on, but she, she finally won her, her, her slam, uh, in Melbourne earlier this year. She's playing great.
18:01
She played well, uh, at the French Open. She's played well on hard court, and grass is a service, uh, surface that she really likes.
18:08
She, uh, uh, beat Diana Shnaider earlier Today, so she's in the semifinals, and she's actually gonna be playing, it looks like, uh, Tatjana Maria, who beat, just beat Elena Rybakina in a, uh, a tiebreaker.
18:19
But Maddie Keys 18 to one. Look, I mean, the, the number of people, uh, like at the top, like do you wanna bet Sabalenka coming off that French Open meltdown? No, probably not. Uh, do you, do you wanna bet Iga?
18:31
Probably not. Uh, Rybakina just lost and maybe the price goes down there. I mean, uh, Coco on, on grass, do you want, you wanna bet her there on a faster surface? Probably not.
18:40
So, uh, I think that price on Maddie Keys is, is, is pretty attractive. Uh, a couple things. One, Rybakina lost to Tatjana Maria on grass. Wow. Uh- Yeah... that's the first thing. Uh, but I love your pick.
18:50
I love your play there. Um, first of all, at the beginning of the year if you had said to somebody, uh, "What are the odds on Maddie Keys winning two Slams this year?" Like, what would the number- [laughs]...
18:59
of that have been? 'Cause obviously she won the Australian Open. Uh, so you have her winning the Australian Open.
19:04
You have her, uh, country, countrywoman, uh, Coco Gauff, of course, another American winning the French Open. You're right about Coco. She, Coco will, will track down everything on fr- on clay.
19:14
Her skills get mitigated a little, same thing with Iga, right, on grass. So they're not quite as, as highly ranked on grass as they would be on other surfaces.
19:24
Um, you're right, maybe there's a, there's a chink in the armor for Rybakina. Maddie Keys is as good a play, obviously Sabalenka's gonna be the short shot, as good a play as any. 18 to one is, is a nice price. I like it.
19:35
I like it a lot. Um, not that you needed- Yeah... my corroboration, but I just thought I'd throw that out there. Well, well I always- Yeah...
19:41
I alw- if, if I get your corroboration and, and, and Drew's corroboration on a, on a tennis play, and even Jrod at ti- if, if Jrod's good with the play, I- I'm, I'm good with that as well.
19:51
Uh, I'm sure- But, I mean, you, you, you're like my tennis big three. I'm sure you two are, are set to agree on your NFL win total bets. Oh, boy. So that's, uh, but I, yeah, yeah.
19:58
Let's- I just literally, one second ago- [laughs]... caught a glimpse of it. All right, what do you got? I, I, I, I bet the Commanders under nine and a half. I, I had to.
20:09
Uh, you look at the, the year last year with Adam- Well, you didn't have, you didn't have to. Let's, let's get that out of the way first. Well, no. You didn't have to. See, you know me. I'm a miserable you know what.
20:18
Yeah. I'm not allowed to say four little words- No... on, on Friday morning or else- [laughs]... I get yelled at by, by Buddhist Man and everybody else on Twitter.
20:24
But, uh, they're gonna be everybody's darling this year to win the division, get to the Super Bowl. I love betting against those types of teams. So I went under nine and a half, and, and, and you know this.
20:35
I mean, they had the Hail Mary 'em last year. They had the Eagles game which they could've lost. They beat the Giants with five field goals. The, the Falcons gave them a game.
20:43
Like, there were a bunch of games last year that they very easily probably could've, should've, would've lost. And you look at the schedule now this year, you got a road game with the Chargers.
20:53
You got a road game at the Chiefs. Uh, like the schedule really doesn't do them, uh, very many favors in terms of whether... At Green Bay early in the year, like we, we, we'll see.
21:03
I mean, the defense I'm sure will be better. Hopefully Jayden Daniels can stay healthy. But, uh, under nine and a half feels like a, uh, a, a bet for me. Uh- Actually was a bet for me. It is a bet for me.
21:12
One, thank you for Hail Miriam. I appreciate that very much. Two- Of course... uh, everything you're saying is correct.
21:18
Um, there's absolutely nothing I can counter to that other than the third thing, which is, yeah, but this kid is a little different. He really is. Oh, he's great. He's just, he's, he's one of the...
21:27
I, and I, I completely understand the, the overriding sentiment, and you've buttressed it with good points, which is, you know, look, again, a lot of the games were coin flips that went their way.
21:36
It took them amazing plays to win them. All, all that is true. The schedule gets harder. All that is true. And so I think it's, it, it, it is easy for folks to come to that conclusion.
21:46
I just wonder if there is something so special about him, it really, in a way, and, and please, as you said, please stay healthy.
21:53
Um, but they, you know, there, and there's the other thing is, you know, and Adam Sil- and Adam Silver I said. In Adam Peters we trust. [laughs] Uh, in Adam Peters we trust.
22:02
But, yes, there are some, there are some holes that they weren't able to fill in one off-season also, so I'm, I'm with you. I get it. Let's put it that way. I get it.
22:10
In, in, in Adam Silver, the Oklahoma City Thunder trust, right? Yeah. [laughs] Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Adam's, Adam Silver trying to pass off the poor ratings, by the way. You see that?
22:18
He goes, "Yeah, but we're better than we were 20 years ago," when the Nets played in the- Okay, 20 years ago? Yeah, great. Thanks. Yeah. Uh, Chris, who, uh, finishes higher in the NFC East, the Commanders or the Cowboys?
22:31
Mm, Commanders. Oh, I thought I was about to have to say, "Say the right thing." I'm really trying to get this going any further. Say the right thing.
22:36
Well, nine, nine, nine and eight still, nine and eight wor- nine and eight wild card still works for me, Gil. Okay. I like it.
22:43
Um, the proverbial guy you don't wanna play in the playoffs, Jayden Daniels, and the great, incomparable Terry McLaurin. Thank you, Chris. Appreciate it, man. You got it, guys. Great job on the Belmont, too.
22:53
Great job on the Belmont. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Coming, coming back. [upbeat music] A Numbers Game on VSiN, the sports betting network.
23:06
Back on The Numbers Game live from Circa Resort and Casino, downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Gil Alexander and Kelly Bidlack, everybody. You can follow Kelly on Twitter @kelebidlack.
23:16
You can follow Gil on Twitter at @beatingthebook. Thank you. Appreciate that. Um, by the way- That was, that was adorable. Oh, we didn't plan that. No, we didn't. Uh, we get tweets at BeatingTheBook.
23:24
James Fessler, "Old school analytics, you're terrible if you're hitting below the Mendoza Line. Rockies team win percentage, hold my beer."
23:30
The Silent Mike D, "A little humor business idea for Bill 80, a commercial-less show for premium price. If I have to listen to the upside gas promo again, I'm gonna lose it.
23:40
My new favorite one are the two girls in the car who one wants to go out of her way to get better gas prices, and the girl's like, 'Are you gonna go out of your way and miss the concert to get better gas prices?'"
23:48
That's the latest one. [laughs] I, I don't know. Plays forever. I don't know that one. Yeah. You remember, uh, remember Vidi, Vidi by Oil getting, uh, uh, caught in the stock photo for gas prices?
23:57
Like you could just- Oh... go to like Getty Images- Yeah... and use like copyright free images, and Vidi's all mad that he's stuck in one of those? That's so great. In perpetuity. In perpetuity.
24:05
[laughs] Uh, let's go to Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska, where, uh, the crew is all, I mean, I'm, the whole network is over there, including the co-hosts of Money Moves, which follows us each and every day.
24:15
They are live at Rocco's in Omaha, where the world famous Jello Shot Room is in full effect. Look at all those kids coming out of there. Stormy Bonnefon and JVT, ladies and gentlemen.
24:24
Jonathan Von Tobel, how you guys doing? Good. I, I thought, by the way, your favorite commercial was gonna be the G Bank commercial with me and Dave Ross, but it's fine if you've got another favorite. Oh.
24:33
We're, we're doing well, though. It's f- it's fun over here at Rocco's.
24:36
Jello shots are already being purchased, and if it gives you any indication as to the vibes, my husband has a beer in his hand at 10:30 AM over here on the side. So we're ready to go, yeah. [laughs] Yes. Yes, indeed.
24:45
Uh, Stormy- Uh, you don't mention, by the way, Stormy's commercial, uh, she's very mean to, I don't know if anybody knows this, the veteran- We didn't have to go there... uh, Dave Ross, the former Marine.
24:53
[laughs] She treats him like absolute garbage in the commercial. Gil, I am an actor. You are. I am an actor, okay? That's what, that's what I mean to say. You are the best actor, the best thespian we have at the network.
25:03
Thank you. You're very welcome. [laughs] I, I needed, I needed that. Thank you.
25:06
By the way, I wanna thank the both of you also because yesterday something happened in my brain during our, during our segment, this is just us three talking right now, and Kelly's also listening in, uh, where I thought it was Friday the entire time we were talking.
25:17
And I'm like, "Hey, what about the games tonight?" And you guys were great, where you were like, "Well, what's this guy talking about? Let's just play along."
25:22
But that actually tonight, uh, before we get to the College World Series, Stormy- Breaking news, there are games today, Gil. Yes, it is actually today. Breaking news. Today is not Saturday.
25:30
[laughs] Um, about the Stanley Cup game four last night, my goodness. Uh, Edmonton comes back from a three to nothing deficit to, uh, to knot it up, uh, in overtime.
25:40
They win it five to four, knot up the series at two games a piece. Now it's a de facto- Yeah... best of three. Where are we on Conn Smythe right now, in your opinion?
25:49
I love that you asked that question because right before we came on the air, I asked JBT, "Hey, have you taken a look at the Conn Smythe odds?" Because they're chaos.
25:56
It's so volatile the way that things have moved around so much.
25:59
Leon Draisaitl, after the overtime game-winning goal last night, the fourth of this post-season for him, an NHL record, has now moved him up from what was 12 to one before the game yesterday to a plus 250, second shot on the board behind Sam Bennett, who of course leads the NHL post-season in goals right now with 14.
26:15
He did have an assist on the game tying goal late in the last 19 and a half seconds of that one to force overtime.
26:21
But with the Oilers now equalizing the series, Oilers players are alive again, and Leon Draisaitl has leapfrogged Connor McDavid in that market. I have a future on Sam Bennett at 20 to one.
26:33
Um, that's kind of my hedge on the Oilers to win the series because I did like Edmonton to come out and win it all. With the way they got tripped up in game three, I wasn't as confident.
26:42
But this market is so interesting to me. I do think it's Bennett for the Florida Panthers where things sit right now.
26:48
Shocked to see the way Bobrovsky has dropped all the way down to 75 to one [laughs] in this market- Yeah... with the way that last night went. I think it's Bennett for them.
26:57
Um, Tkachuk obviously has made an argument with the goals that he scored last night, the point production he's had.
27:04
Um, but Leon Draisaitl making a big push here for Edmonton, whereas everybody said if the Edmonton Oilers win it again, it's gotta be Connor McDavid, right?
27:12
He wins it in a losing effort last year in the Stanley Cup Final.
27:15
But if Leon keeps scoring goals and the timely goals and the important, impactful goals like he does, plus 250, still very, very warranted if you like Edmonton.
27:23
Yeah, I mean, I, so I'm, I'm one of the many who has a Draisaitl ticket. Mine is not quite as long as- Good for you... as some others. Well, here's my question to you. Maybe it is good for me.
27:31
But is, is all it's gonna take, this is what I was speculating earlier, let's say it goes to a game seven, and let's say Connor McDavid just makes some spectacular move, gets a goal. It maybe...
27:41
Let's, let's just put, take it to the extreme. It's the game-winning goal.
27:44
Does it matter at that point if Draisaitl is still m- has, has the record for the most playoff overtime goals, or will the voters just say, "Well, it's Connor McJesus, for God's sakes. We gotta give it to him.
27:55
Look at that"? Is that all it's gonna take? I, I think it's, I think it's a toss-up. JBT, I'm curious your opinion on this.
28:01
It could very much so go either way depending on what the voters wanna do, especially considering Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are both tied, I believe, at 32 points right now. So we've still got a lot of series left.
28:11
You mentioned it, best of three the rest of the way. If Draisaitl continues to score more goals and McDavid isn't matching the points, then yeah, I think you give Draisaitl the edge.
28:21
But McDavid winning the Cup, being the world's best player that he is, I said it on the show the other day, I'd be shocked if Edmonton won, and quite frankly, it wasn't him just because of the historical relevance that that carries and what voters might do.
28:34
But if Draisaitl does keep scoring goals, that's impactful as well. Sure. I, I mean, I, I'd be curious, Gil, like I've been picking her brain on this.
28:41
Like I don't know about the historical context of Conn Smythe in terms of the way these voters vote for it. In these other sports, as we have discussed, they tend to just gravitate toward the low-hanging fruit- Yeah...
28:50
which is the big name.
28:52
But if you talk to hockey media members, people who know the sport, somebody like Stormy, we talked to Greg Wyshynski, there is a clear respect for somebody like Draisaitl, and I think that even regardless of how the series plays out or just giving it to the best guy, I think Draisaitl's got enough respect that he would still be able to win this if he and Connor McDavid have comparable statistical outputs the rest of the series- Yeah...
29:11
and they go on to win it. I like it. I like it. Come on, Leon, get it home. Get it home. Yep. Um, all right. You are in Omaha for the College World Series, after all. Um, we have two games tonight, uh, in bracket one.
29:23
I'm curious, first of all, what's, what's the vibe like from to- you know, since yesterday to today? Has the storm of folks come in, especially from LSU and Arkansas?
29:32
Has that crowd base, has that fan base gotten there from both of those schools? What's the vibe, and then what are your favorite bets today? I mean, I don't know about you. I've noticed a difference. Yeah.
29:42
Like walking in today, uh, the hotel lobby, they were actually already getting the band started. Uh, so I was sitting in the hotel lobby meeting with our own Steve Cohen, and it was at 9:30 in the morning over here.
29:52
They were already pushing troughs of beer out to the front of the hotel. [laughs] Uh, this is a different vibe today.
29:58
So I am very interested to see how the day will progress and what this is going to look like, but it does feel different to me- Yes... in terms of how many people are out here.
30:04
I, I'd say more than double than what we saw yesterday- Right... even just walking around. From the hotel, the, the short walk over here to Rocco's, the sidewalks are already filled with people.
30:12
They've got the, what is it, the, uh, the merch walkway that you have over here with all of the different stands already opened and filled with people, and Rocco's [laughs] is busy here for the jello shot area in the jello shot room.
30:23
So yeah, you can feel a difference.
30:25
As far as the bets today, I don't have an outright bet on either one of the games in bracket one, but I do wonder what your and, like, your guys' opinion is on this Coastal Carolina, Arizona game.
30:35
We had Matt Grissom on the program yesterday of College Baseball Insiders, and was talking about How surprised he was to see Coastal Carolina just this big of a favorite at minus 230.
30:45
I kinda lean Arizona plus the run and a half at even money, because you're getting such a good price on it, if we think this could be a close game. But Coastal Carolina's pitching staff is obviously so good.
30:55
They've got a great starter going, and the depth that they have compared to Arizona pitching-wise. Yeah, I think I, I, I was also interested in this total too, Arizona and- Yeah... Coastal Carolina. We talked about this.
31:04
Uh, right now it's nine shaded to the under at a couple of spots. I tend to think that this is a game that could go over the total as well- Hmm... given the upside for both of these teams offensively too.
31:11
So a, a higher scoring game, I think, in the first contest is something I'll be looking for earlier or excuse me, later today, Gil. Are you all doing this thing?
31:18
'Cause I spoke to Steve a little ba- a little bit yesterday also. Are you doing this thing where you have to cross the river to go into Iowa to make bets? Is that a thing? So I'm gonna go...
31:27
Actually, when I'm done here- Yep... I'm gonna go do the Skywalk. I wanna go check that out. I have not been able to go and walk across, but I will be doing that here.
31:34
There was a gentleman's establishment that was also across the border in Iowa- [laughs]... that we had driven by, but I guess I just have to drive o- you know, walk over the Sky Bridge. I don't have to go that far.
31:42
It, it did make us laugh that the first thing we see as we get off of the plane and we're making our way into Omaha was something that was very familiar to us as Las Vegas residents. Yes.
31:51
But y- yeah, I'm exci- I, I hope that... Derek already told us yesterday, Derek Stevens, owner of Circa, um, told us that we could hop in the limo van thing- Yep... that is fully stocked as well to go make said bets. Oh.
32:02
So that's what we're looking forward to. Oh, to have a limo that's fully stocked, Kelly. That sounds, that sounds very nice and convenient. Yeah. Okay. Actually, sorry. Great. Uh, journalistic clarity, sorry, guys.
32:10
It's a party bus. Party bus. A party bus. Party bus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very different. Very different. John, I g- John, I got a very specific Omaha question for you.
32:18
You, in the past, have taken part in a hot dog eating contest on air, or sort of on air. Yeah. I have, uh, drank half gallons of eggnog on air before.
32:26
How does it compare, uh, shoveling as many jello shots, uh, d- down your throat as you can as possible? Shoveling. Oh, yeah. They, they go down a lot easier, especially because there's a variety of flavor.
32:36
You know, as you well know, Kelly, one of the challenges of professional eating, as we are professional eaters- Mm-hmm, yes... uh, is that the repetitive flavor does get to you.
32:43
When you get deep into that eggnog, or when you get into your, like, fifth dog, uh, the repetitive flavor's pretty gross. So the fact that there's four different flavors, uh, makes it so much easier, so much easier.
32:52
I, I do wanna let it be known though, because you mentioned the hot dog eating. Mm-hmm.
32:54
July 4th hot dog eating contest, when that comes up, I have already purchased a hat that says, "Bad day to be a hot dog," that I'm ready to wear on air that day. I'm very excited. Wow. Uh, we had Jensen on earlier.
33:04
I asked him, "Who's the person, who's the VSiN host you're looking at, where you're like, 'Uh, this is the jello shot person I need to be worried about?'" And he said Stormy. He said Stormy.
33:12
I'll ask the same of you guys. Who's the- What an honor... who's the pr- [laughs] You should be honored by that.
33:17
Uh, who is the person who you're looking across at your fellow VSiN host, and you're like, "That's the person, that's the person to beat right now"? Her. Uh, probably. I don't know about Stormy. She's talking a lot.
33:27
But I will say, non-VSiN host- Wilbo... uh, I have been terrified of Wilbo, uh, big loss. Wilbo's throwing 'em down. Yeah. It, it, I think he's at, like, 30, and that was yesterday. The field, the field- Yeah...
33:35
is unstoppable with, with Wilbo here. There's nothing anyone can do. Wow. But we're trying. We're gonna try. As soon as we're off the air today, we're ready to go. Any purple vomit or anything yet? Not to my knowledge.
33:45
No purple jello shots. [laughs] Okay. Guys, enjoy your time. Mix, mix the blue and green and red. [laughs] Enjoy your time. We'll see you at the top of the hour. Stormy and JBT for Money Moves right here at VSiN.
33:55
[upbeat music] A numbers game on VSiN, the sports betting network.
34:10
Back at the numbers game live from Circa, Gil Alexander, Kelly Midland. Wanna recap some bets? It's bloody, man. Oh, it's, it's- The US Open, oh boy... dude, it's brutal. Scottie Scheffler in danger of missing the cut.
34:22
He is. Right now, outside the projected cut line, he is five over for the tournament, two over for his second round. I'm, and I bet him s- plus 1650 today to, to have low round.
34:33
But projected cut right now is four over, and he is at five over with six holes to play. A lot of golf, obviously. A whole bunch of guys have yet to tee off, so a lot of golf yet to be played, but you get the idea.
34:44
As J.J. Spaun and Thirston Lawrence, Kelly wants you to know they're not the same kind of golfer, but those two guys remain in the clubhouse chilling at 400 and 300 respectively. Sam Burns is up to 300 though?
34:56
Sam Burns is thr- yeah, he is three under. All right, so he's five. Sam Burns is the only person- And, and your-... defeating this, well, he's not the only person, but he's among the few defeating this golf course today.
35:05
And your favorite right now at plus 550 is Sam Burns. Sam Burns. One back. Victor Hovland nine to one right now, and he is one under par, three off the lead.
35:15
Daniel Berger three off the lead, one under for the tournament. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, where's Berg- where's Berger's odds? Yeah. Disrespectful. Where is he? Where are his odds?
35:27
I, [laughs] there's, there's- Give me some of that. Let's see what Berger's, let's see what the Berger tax is. Uh, anyway. 50 to one on Berger right now? Give me that. Give it.
35:36
By the way, all of our bets recapped on every show, every host, every guest, every sport, uh, at
35:42
vsin.com, by the way, vsin.com/picks for subscribers, but also recapped courtesy of GBank at the end of each and every show.
35:50
Mine, let's begin with that terrible Scottie Scheffler bet I made this morning at plus 16- 1650 to have the best second round score. That ain't happening. Uh, I do have the Pacers tonight, plus six, game four, let's go.
36:01
Let's get it done, Pacers. Let's not just cover. Let's win. Pacers plus six. Uh, and I've got these, uh, two going on. Tigers got a win yesterday.
36:09
By the way, oh, can we, wanna show, can we show the, uh, best June wins after this as well? Yeah.
36:13
I don't wanna interrupt the, uh, GBank, uh, best bets, but Tigers 16 and one, uh, 16 to one, most wins in June, and there's the dry sidle bet, nine to one to win Con Smythe down to 250. What could go wrong?
36:25
What do you got, Kelly? Uh, tonight, Thunder, Moneyline's both first half and full game, Lou Dort over threes, one and a half. I, I'm willing to lay, uh, lay the juice.
36:35
I know that he's, he's kind of caught in that in between. I played Lou Dort last game too, over one and a half.
36:40
I'd rather lay the minus 160 with the one and a half than take, like- Plus 110 on two and a half Lou Dort on fire in game three. On fire. He's also your three-point leader right now for the series.
36:52
Uh, I did bet that pre-series, so that's, that bet's looking pretty good at least. Uh, Chris Felica came in here with, uh, two insulting wagers. One, he took Madison... No, I'm kidding. They're both good wagers.
37:00
Madison Keys 18 to 1 to win Wimbledon. I endorse that bet. Um, Maddie Keys is among the handful of ladies that is, uh, really live, I would say.
37:11
Well, first of all, Wimbledon is live beyond five, but she's one of the really serious, you know, historically good grass court players. 18 to 1 is a good price on Maddie Keys.
37:21
I have not made a bet on Wimbledon yet myself, but that's a good number. And then he goes under on the Commodores, the Washington Commanders, under nine and a half wins.
37:30
Uh, all the reasons that Chris stated, I cannot, I do not have a counterargument for, right?
37:35
A lot of close wins last year, m- some might even say miraculous, um, e- on some of those occasions, and Jayden Daniels was as great as could be.
37:44
He's going under nine and a half with the schedule getting tougher for the Washington Commanders. I- I've made a vow, by the way, Kelly, I'm gonna try to say Commanders this year. All right, man.
37:52
Yeah, I'm gonna try to say it. Every time? No, but I'm gonna try to say it a lot. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Jensen was on earlier. Jensen Lewis from By The Books, he has some college baseball bets for us.
38:02
All of these now are the, uh, first games respectively in brackets one and two. Arizona, Coastal Carolina. He's going under the total, nine and a half. Louisville, Oregon State, under the total of 10.
38:13
Murray State on the money line, plus 210. The Racers' magic carpet ride continues according to Jensen's bet.
38:21
And then LSU and Arkansas, under nine and a half in the clash of the two remaining SEC teams at the College World Series.
38:27
Then in Major League Baseball today, he's on the Red Sox on the money line, minus 142, and the Diamondbacks, minus 137. Bullpen holding up so far.
38:36
Paul Carr came in here and he made up a couple golf tour- a couple soccer tournaments that he bet on.
38:41
Um, one, Club World Cup, South American team to win at nine to one, and then the Gold Cup, which we are familiar with the Gold Cup. He is fading the United States of America. Some might call that unpatriotic.
38:54
And so is, uh, Pulisic, their best player. Yeah, he's said for- Big time in America... he's like, "Forget this." Yeah, big time America, Christian Pulisic. I- I see you... I got, I got other things to do. I see you.
39:04
So he, so he's going Saudi Arabia to win Group D at plus 250. Huh. Huh. No judgment. They, they don't sound like they're in, uh, North or Central America. No, they don't.
39:15
G-BAANK, uh, by the way, introduces the $500 trifecta from G-BANK First Bet and VSiN.

39:55
Uh, I just wanna say this before we go today, um, because we were talking about how the ratings were down for both the NBA and the Stanley Cup Finals,
40:02
but let me just say this, man, people who have not experienced these, these two postseasons this year, you are lesser for it. Mm-hmm. They have been spectacular. Yep.
40:13
I mean, the, first of all, the, just the finals themselves have been unbelievable. Three out of the four NHL Stanley Cup Final games going to OT.
40:20
Uh, obviously the Pacers' magic carpet ride, to, to use that phrase again, continuing so far.
40:26
And again, I'll say it, you know, if the Pacers get to the promised land here, if they win the title, it is the most amazing, improbable run to any title I believe we've ever seen in any sport in the playoffs.
40:38
And it's just, I, I, I don't, the, the country apparently is not, uh, mesmerized by this according to the ratings. Betting handle, at least on my very little anecdotal survey that I'm doing, appears to be way down.
40:50
Um, but as far as just the, the amazement of American sport, let's say, in all this, it's been incredible. It really has. Really has. Can't wait for tonight's game. Can't wait. NBA, it's a massive game.
41:02
Um- I scheduled dinners around it. Yeah, yeah. You know? Like I'm like, I don't wanna miss this. It's a great sports day. US Open and then NBA tonight, love it. US Open's got you down a little bit?
41:11
Well, it's, it's just all gonna come down to today. Yeah. I got this 60 to 1 Mr. Cup parlay that I'm, like, really live on, but everything else is looking pretty rough. I, I, hey, some guys haven't teed out, off.
41:20
Ludvig, Keegan, maybe they do something in the second round, uh, make things look a little bit better for me, but right now, not all that hot. Who is... Let's say, let's say someone wants to jump in after this round.
41:29
Obviously, we only have the current leaderboard to go by. Um, who is the... [laughs] You already know where the question's- No, no, it's just, it's, it's- What, who's the name?
41:36
The- What's the name that you're like, "I think I might bet this guy to win it"? Well, yesterday I thought it was Jon Rahm. That ain't looking- Nope. I did, I did bet him. That's not looking so great right now.
41:45
I, look, Viktor Hovland I did bet a, a top 10 on, uh, entering today. Hovland's, man, his... He couldn't putt. He's lurking. He could not hit a putt yesterday. His tee to green numbers were great though.
41:56
Um, he's lurking right there. A- A- He's- Three back... he's had a tough season to figure out. He started off like crap, uh, picked up the win at the Valspar, has had, like, a couple top 30 finishes since then.
42:06
Um, I, I think Viktor's got a shot here. I think he's got a shot. Si Woo I think is my answer. Where's your guy Ludvig? Is he, is he nowhere to be found? He's like two over. He hasn't teed off yet. Okay. All right.
42:16
Gil, you ever done a jello shot, by the way? What is this? Savannah brought these in. This is a non-alcoholic, uh- Yeah... jello shot right here? You gonna partake? I didn't even think you were gonna partake.
42:23
This, well, I mean- So you gonna-... you sort of killed me. So this is like a, this is like if you were- This is like a double... if you're in the hospital. Right, correct. How does this work?
42:30
This is gonna go all over my shirt? So, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you. This is how you do it, because you, I know you went to- Yeah... a fancy school in Boston, right? So, like, this is, uh- Fancy school of Boston.
42:39
I, I went to, uh, Dir- Dirty Florida State, okay? No, no names. This is what you gotta do. You gotta, you gotta put your finger in here first, okay? What? So you gotta separate the Jell-O from the cup, okay?
42:48
This is, this is how the real pros do it. Make sure you don't wash your hands beforehand. That's very important. It adds to the flavor, okay?
42:54
That will make- And then- That, that makes it easier to come out of the, uh, the plastic? Correct. That makes it easier to come out of the plastic.
42:59
And just because Savannah wants to see me spill an entire Jell-O cup on my shirt- Yeah... I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do this right now. I'm gonna try. All right. Kelly Billings, everybody. Very impressive.
43:09
Years, years of practice. Good. Yeah. Now that's, that's bigger than a regular Jell-O shot, though. What is that, like a cherry flavor? Something like that. Cherry, strawberry, I don't know. Well, all right.
43:21
You, you- When are we, when are we gonna- You're waiting, you're waiting for me- My hand's, my hand's sticky. You waiting for me to do this? Is this what the excitement is? Yeah. It's your turn, bro. Oh. Come on, man.
43:27
So I've been doing it like you said do it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do it like this. Oh, the crew's chanting your name in the back. By the way, this is, this is the whitest network I've ever worked at.
43:33
[laughs] Just white people. Uh, here we go. Here we go. [laughs] That's my reaction. Well, how is, how is your finger not all red like mine? I'm just spilling. How is that? Now I do this like this? Yeah.
43:42
Now you just chug it back. Yep. There you go. Oh, oh. [laughs] How you get it all in your mouth? I don't know what's going on. Years of experience, man. This is actually very, this is actually very tasty.
43:53
Very ta- I didn't really taste it. Oh. I just kinda s- Yeah... threw it back. Then what am I gonna do with my finger? Yeah, I know. That's what we each got an issue. I should have saved this for 30 more seconds.
44:00
This is exciting. Sorry. Anyways, NBA finals on the way out. I'm on the money line Thunder tonight. [laughs] Gills on the Pacers plus the points. Plus the points. Pacers plus the points, for sure. Um, why not?
44:10
I've done it every night. Why not keep going? It's been a very profitable ride, and I do think- I can't blame you. I get it.
44:15
I know, I know Nick Whelan called it very first takey when I said this earlier, um, but I do think it's the de facto NBA championship tonight. Oh, I, I disagree with the wording a little bit.
44:25
Like, it's a must-win for the Thunder. I think it's over if the Pacers win tonight. Must-win for the Thunder. Just to keep this alive. You don't think it's a must-win for the Pacers? No. Oh, okay. That's different.
44:36
All right. Uh, we've done all we could do. Sorry about the Jell-O shot thing. Uh, Omaha, College World Series. Stormy and JBT next with money moves. And Joy from Visa, the eSports betting network.
