(01:38):
I got a special guest for youguys here today on the Fontanes five
podcast. He is known known asmister Warre on Vegas himself. He's giving
out free picks each and every singleday on his social media platforms four three,
never, Never Greedy. It's mymain man pick competie. How you

(01:59):
doing, brother, I'm doing great. Appreciate the intro. Also, the
intro going into this got me readyto go. I'm fired. Yeah,
Man, dude, I got alittle background in music. One of my
buddies, he actually is a producerin Atlanta. So we we got in
the studio and I was like,man, dude, I need an intro.
He was like, I got you. Man. That was him on
the hook, so he like saidfor me, we kind of rolled it

(02:21):
together. I appreciate it. Man. I followed you on social media and
and I was like, man,this dude is just too good. He's
dropping information, He's dropping dimes eachand every single day, and I need
to get him in front of mymembers. I need to get his see
his background, hear his story.Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Man, what got you into sportsbetting? And how'd you get to where
you are today? Yeah? Imean what got me into sports betting?

(02:44):
It's I mean even growing up,when I was like seven, eight,
nine years old, my parents wouldthey would look at all the spreads for
the day and they would have meand I have a bunch of siblings,
and that we would have basically likea pick them leak And I didn't even
know, you know, he's ourVegas lines, this is four sports camps,
and probably didn't either of the problemgiving it to us. But we
would just go through and be like, all right, you know Raiders plus

(03:06):
two and a half? What doyou got? So I've been watching I've
been a Bills fan since day one, but I've been watching football with spreads
in mind since I was a child. Since before I got my first quarter
for allowance, I was I wasbetting spreads in my head. So I've
been about it for forever. Obviouslyit really popped off over these last several
years. So I'm glad I don'thave to text a random Bookie and find

(03:29):
lines and I argue over them withhim. Ben mo back, I mean,
you know, but yeah, I'vebeen I've been doing it for a
while. And in terms of interms of how I got to pick Ampedie
and the whole TikTok, all thesocial media all that, I just you
know, it's a It's a funpart of the gambling experience. It's not
just the analysis. I love doingthat. I love diving into that talking

(03:51):
about what I think is gonna happen. But you know, the roller coaster,
anyone who's been doing this or who'sgetting into it, there's just so
much inside lifeguage, so much commonexperience for any sports better And I just
think it's a it's a gold minefor content and for comedy because we're all
doing the same thing. You know, everyone is telling us this can't hit,

(04:12):
this is the new this is freemoney. And then everyone's like it
was always the Raiders. It wasalways the Raiders, dude. That's that's
every better that's ever existed. SoI love it. It's it's community for
sure, for sure. Man.As you as you tell your stories about
about growing up and stuff, Ijust remember in my mind, like and
I even get into it in mybook about like growing up, like how

(04:35):
like sports betting was like frowned uponand like my favorite movie of all time
is Harball, So like I rememberKeanu Reeves like oh in the bookie having
to go like Gesus. So definitely, sports betting has always been around,
but it's kind of always been thatthing that's been kind of like frowned upon,

(04:57):
and it's so good to see itbeing like, you know, spewed.
And the great light is like wemove into the social media age where
kind of like anything goes. It'salmost like the wild wild West, where
like almost if you can make moneyoff of it, nobody's frowning up on
it. Obviously, you know,you got to of we got all that
stuff going, so you know,nobody's really prowning up on anything that somebody's
trying to make an honest living.So it's so good to see you know,

(05:18):
people like you actually take advantage ofthat and like take a passion for
it and like share that passion witheverybody else. So this War on Vegas
thing, man, where did thatstart? Well? Yeah, so I
mean the Warrant Bay. It's twofold, right, because part of it is
just simple right, we're robbing thebuckeye. We're getting vengeance on the books.
We're taking back the money. Butit's a big you know, you

(05:40):
know, Vegas is enemy number onein sports betting. If you ask me,
you know, you look at youlook at the commercials that are going
on now that you see every fiveseconds when you're watching any event. You
know, you're good. I gotbad connection, Sorry about that. Go
ahead and listening. You're good.Just just when you when you watch Sporting

(06:01):
Man's or really anything nowadays, youget a commercial every five fifteen seconds and
you're seeing you know, Jamie Foxor Kevin hired someone that's getting paid huge
money to advertise this book. Sowe know that Vegas is making money.
You know, we know the publicas a whole, isn't the ones walking
away winners and you know the KeanuReeves call it oh in the bookie and
worrying about getting his legs burger.You know that's that's real. And so

(06:25):
the war on Vegas is vengeance forthat, the fact that we're paying the
juice that we have to pay.Like it's as much I make money sports
bank, I give out good picksports betting. But they're still cutting into
our profits like they are taking it'sit is unfair to me how much they
are taking out of us. Andalso, you know, are they influencing
the outcomes of games? We obviouslythey have in the past. We have
recorded histories of people being imprisoned forthis. So so it's not just are

(06:49):
we going to beat them? Arewe going to beat Vegas? It's understanding
that Vegas. Vegas doesn't give youa chance to gamble on fair ground.
Vegas is is stacking the odds againstyou so massively that we need to rise
up against them. Not just interms of beating them, we also in
my dream for the future of sportsbetting is that there's not that you know,

(07:10):
one hundred and ten doesn't win onehundred, one hundred and one wins
one hundred, because in any otherindustry, in any other area, we
would have competition. It's crazy.If Caesars is minus one ten, bet
MGM should be minus one o nineand everyone's on MGM, then you go
to points bet and their minus oneawaight and so on, And that's how
competition in industry works. That's howyou know a free market is supposed to

(07:31):
exist, and so I think Vegasis colluding. I think all the books
are colluding. I think it's aracket, and I just the their enemy
number one. I live to seethem burn to the ground. So when
the public is feasting, best dayin my life, dude, dude,
I cannot. I couldn't agree withyou more on that. Take. Do
that, dude, As you likewin more and more people money, you
you engulf them and you get themlike to see what's actually about. People

(07:55):
have absolutely no idea about ten percentof what you just said is a thing.
They think, Oh, it's agame I played. I say this
team is gonna win. It happens. Oh well nah, it's definitely a
warm Vegas dude. I'm loving that. Uh that take one hundred percent like
that. When I saw it,I was like, Oh this, this
dude here has what it takes.He's gonna he's gonna definitely influence people to
like make good decisions, you knowwhat I'm saying, and actually do it

(08:16):
as a whole. So that's awesome. That's good to hear man, that's
good to see. What's your biggestwin? How about that you can get
into that, what's your biggest yourbiggest win yeah. So my my biggest
win wasn't in sports. My biggestwin ever was it was a thirty K
win in a poker tournament, probablylike thirty point five something like that.

(08:37):
That was. It was the craziestweek ever. And this is this is
kind of a wild story because Iwas I was down pretty bad, just
like Djenning on the poker tables inlike twenty twenty, you know, mid
quarantine. I had no life.I'm not walking outside, I'm just playing
online poker. And it was gettingbad, like I was just playing reckless.
I was ignoring bank row rules.I was down bad, and I
called up a therapist. I waslike, I think I gotta quit,

(08:58):
Like I think I'm done with this, Like I gotta stop. I'm going
broke here, like my credit cards, I'm maxing out. And she,
obviously she's like, yeah, youshould do that. So I go to
my poker calm, going like allright, it's time to it's time to
move on, it's time to deletethe poker app and move on with my

(09:18):
life. And I go in andthey gave me like a few hundred bucks.
They put it in my account totry to keep me on there.
So it's like all right, allright, one more tournament and I flipped
that like three hundred bucks. Iget an entry into another tournament. I
turned that six hundred into seventeen K, and I'm like, all right,
I'm keeping a therapist. She's mylucky China. Now, like I'm not.
I'm not done. I just neededI don't have a problem. I

(09:41):
just had a problem losing in pokerturning. I'm good, So seventeen I'm
good. I was like I wason fire, dude, I would go
that was that was my biggest wintoday at that point. A week later,
I run up thirty K in onetournament, and then I get I
pick up twelve K later that week, like three in my big my two
biggest wins, and then another topfive win. Ever, so I go

(10:03):
up like, you know, fiftyfive K in a two week span.
I'm on top of the world.I'm going crazy. You know. Obviously
I got rid of all that cashlike immediately. But dude, I got
a similar story. It's crazy becauseit's so stimular. Like I was.
I didn't even tell you, butI was in the military. So I
was in the Navy at the NavalAcademy up until like twenty fourteen, and

(10:28):
then I moved to Nashville. SoI was in Annapolis and then I moved
to Nashville. And once I movedto Nashville, I was like, all
right, I'm going back to school, I'm gonna find a new trade.
I'm gonna just do me. Andthen I had always been, you know,
just placing a bet here and thereon Bravada, not nothing crazy,
but DFS was just taking off,and I was just like, what is
this fan? Like I always kindof like like Fantasy, never really played

(10:50):
it. It was seemed like itwas too much of a job to try
to maintain each and every single day. Of course I love Fantasy. Now
I got like four Fantasy leagues,all of is with it. But I
was like, all right, I'mgonna check this DFS stuff out. So
I was like, this is backwhen it was like the wild Wild West.
I mean, have you ever playedDFS? Oh yeah? Oh yeah.
So like I'm in like NBA twoninety was cashing, Like people didn't

(11:13):
have all these you know, lineupcreators, generators. It wasn't that much
if this is back in like twentyfifteen, So, like I said,
two ninety would get you Like inthe money, if you can score three
fifty, you was taking the wholething down. Now it's like four ninety
to win it. Dude, it'scrazy. You got, you got.
It's literally that analytic where you gottalike have outside sources or you're not even

(11:35):
gonna place. So I built thisa crazy lineup, and my homeboy would
be like, Yo, you're abig name whore. You always have these
these big names on your team.I'm like, dude, I don't care.
Today I'm getting Anthony Davis. Andit was the day he dropped one
hundred. He was like, he'slike the first person to drop one hundred
Fantasy points and he was like threepercent on dude. And it was between

(11:56):
him and Jordan Clarkson back when JordanClarkson was on the Lake and the other
dude had Jordan Clarkston. The potwas one hundred racks. I was in
second with Ad and I'm like,okay, Ad Copelicans at the time,
he was tearing it up and Jordanclarks and so I'm and then I'm moved
in the first place when in onehundred k like, I'm like telling my

(12:16):
homies, get ready, we goingto Chicago. We're doing all this,
we turn it up and uh andJordan Clarkson checks in the game with a
minute and like ten seconds left.Dude. When I say this, dude
got two steals, Jack three threes, made them all. He was like
fifteen points behind me. Dude,Jordan Clarkson drops like twenty fantasy points in

(12:37):
like a minute a half. Iwin thirty racks. You can't be mad
at winning thirty racks. You're like, I'll take it. But dude,
a hundred was like all my fingertips, Like that's my biggest takedown, like
per se, like at war time. It's crazy because right after that I
hit him for twelve the next dayand then then I did some straight bets
and I did like two parlais andhit him for like another fifteen. So

(12:58):
like it grew because I was bettingmore. I was, you know,
I got thirty racks in our countI'm putting twelve. I mean, I'm
putting twelve hundred on this thing,I like versus the little three or two
hundred I was going to put solike it's easy to roll, like especially
on the road. But that's thestory, man, It's it's crazy,
man, ah, that must havebeen electric, dude. It was crazy.
Like I said, I went tolike my homegirl. She lives like

(13:20):
Royal Arms was the name of theapartments. We call it the armpits.
And I like ran over there andjumped the fence because I didn't have her
cold, and I was knocking onthe window. I was like, what
you're doing. What you're doing?She was like, you're getting me reach
out. I was like, Noah, noah, noah, no, You'll
never guess. I was like,we going to the mall. We about
the ball out. I was.We had a good time, man.
I mean like I said, andthose it's those moments that you like remembering

(13:43):
this thing and like as I lookback now as like a sound minded understanding
what actually get gambling is all about, and look at what it is.
I want to bring those types ofmoments to the mom and pops. Like
I realized, I'll never be rotgriders, you know. But it's this
industry is big enough to where ifyou put the work in and you dedicate

(14:03):
yourself and you actually understand what's goingon, you get strategies. Discipline is
the main thing I preach. I'lltell everybody I'm like, listen, if
you don't have any discipline, thenthis ain't for you. You're gonna lose,
you know what I mean, ifyou don't set parameters, follow those
parameters. And that's what we dohave Fontage's five like I give them,
you know, the dudes and thedon'ts I give them and sported better education.

(14:24):
All of that stuff is included inthe packages that we offer for something
super super simple is like a dinnerout for per night. You know,
I'm not asking for two three hundreddollars a month just so I can give
you all this information. We're talkingless than fifty bucks a month, and
we do things like you know,we have this course, We got all
this types of stuff that keep bettersengaged and keep them informed as well.

(14:48):
So that's I mean. I enjoyit, man, I enjoy it.
And it's good to hear that youenjoy it too, brother, for real,
no doubt. Yeah, And Imean I mean the bank row management.
That discipline, that's that is everagething. No matter what your strategy
is, no matter how good youare, no matter how big you hit,
like, if you don't have that, it's gone because the other people
don't understand the psychology of betting too, Like you say, yeah, you

(15:09):
won your biggest hit ever thirty k, and now you're betting twelve hundred on
a play instead of two hundred,Like that's how it goes. That's why
you know I had my biggest winever and then a week later I had
my new biggest win ever. It'sbecause I'm playing the highest stakes I ever
played, which isn't isn't a goodidea, you know it isn't. I
always say, you know your bankrolls two percent of your bank roll as

(15:31):
a unit. We do five unitsas a max play, and then every
week reevaluate. So if you're upten percent now your unit size maybe it
was twenty now it's twenty two,maybe it was one hundred and a hundred,
ten whatever, So you you earnthe right to bet bigger, bit
by bit, week by week.Now you know I hit big, I'm
going crazy the next day because becauseyou don't care you win thirty grand,
you don't care about winning five hundred, but you can lose a grand five

(15:52):
times real quick. And then nowyou're you know, now you're back down
in the same spot so bad.I'm seeing it on your shirt. Man,
tell me a little that I've nevereven heard of. So bit Yeah,
so so bet is it's a newit's kind of new sports media.
It's in between social media and yourstandard media where you just have creators on
there. So anyone can sign up, make an account, uh and get

(16:15):
on there, but you not anyonecan post, they can comment, they
can do whatever. So it's myselfand a few dozen other creators and it's
mostly sports betting content, sports bettingpicks, analysis, et cetera. So
if you sign up for mysel bet, you see me, you'll get a
full slight every day, I doa write up, unit size analysis,
everything. You get my picks everyday. But then you also see you

(16:36):
know, clips for my podcast.You'll see a lesson on bankroll management.
You'll see comments throughout a game,kind of posts, maybe like tweets if
I'm watching the game. You'll havelive streams. There's there's a stream every
night on the sobat twitch. Soit's a good mixture of sports betting picks,
like a lot of different areas offerand you got a lot of kaffirs
on there. But it's all contentcreators as well, so you get legit

(16:56):
content on there. You know it'sit's a I I really believe in it.
I think it's kind of the futuresort of media that we're going to
see in a lot of spaces whereit's kind of that blend between standard media
and social media, and it's it'sa lot more accessible to most people too.
Dude. That's that's awesome, man. Definitely. I'll it's gonna be
a link in the description for hisI'll definitely get that link from you.
Drop that link in this description tothis video. So definitely if you're if

(17:19):
you're if you're looking for that typeof content, that type of information,
as you should be each and everysingle day. I'm always trying to find
more and more advantages to to havea bigger war on Vegas man. So,
uh, definitely hit that link inthe description and uh and go follow
pd on. Definitely on so bitMan. That's awesome, dude. Yeah,
yeah, and it's good. It'syou know, it's not just we

(17:40):
got announce this, we got picks. It's having you know, it's a
fun thing. There's a hobby.So having like a community, you get
that locker room vibe. We're watchingthe game, we're sweating out together because
you got fifteen hundred people on thesame play. We're fired up for that
same play. It's like watching yourteam winning with your team, it's it's
cool. Okay, yeah, that'sawesome. Man, that's good to hear.
Like I said, it's definitely IMgonna check it out, so you're

(18:00):
definitely gonna see me following you.We talked about we talked about risk management,
We talked about the I want tounderstand, like, so your strategy
as far as like how you breakthe games down and how you do what
you do. Obviously, I'm notgonna you're not gonna get into every the
ends and outs of it. Butif you had to like give somebody one,
you know, strain of advice thatyou would tell them to stick to

(18:22):
other than what you've already said,what would that thing be? I would
say. What I like to dois is trust yourself, trust the analysis
you make. But then also youhave to have like at least one layer
of additional analysis. So when Iput my plays out, there's a couple
other analysts that I'll I'll talk toand communicate with. I do it completely.

(18:45):
I don't look at anyone else's analysis. I do just my read,
right, I do just my read. I figure out what I like,
what I'm thinking, and then Iget information from someone else and I'll just
weigh that in. I need justone level of review on what I'm doing,
So people use kaffirs that they relyon or whatever. I like.
Get a look yourself, get afeel yourself, and kind of get that

(19:06):
second layer of approval on some ofyour plays. Think some something's through because
you're gonna miss stuff all the time. You're gonna miss stuff. You're gonna
you know, you didn't read theinjury report thoroughly enough, you didn't pay
attention to the weather whatever. SoI think that's gonna keep you from a
lot of dumb mistakes. And thenalso, don't let the lines influence you.
Look at a game and consider inyour mind. When you look at

(19:26):
a matchup, you see Bills areplaying the Giants. Bad example, because
it's a huge thread, but Billsare playing the Giants, and you think,
oh, yeah, they should theyshould win this game. Whatever your
confidence level is or whatever the pointsspread you think it should be. And
then see if the line is betterthan your initial analysis, and then it's
a good play. Because sometimes youlook at the line and go Wow,
that's minus two hundred. Oh,they're winning for sure on minus two hundred.
If you didn't see that minus twohundred, you might think it's a

(19:48):
coin flip. And then you seethe other sides plus one sixty. Rock
the plus one sixty. So don'tlet the line influence you, dude.
I love it, man, Ifreaking love it. That's awesome. I
wanted to know more about your DraftKingssituation. I know you said you were
your band from DraftKings. Give mea little insight on that because I am
I'm I'm also off of Draft Kings. I don't I don't Draft Kings for

(20:10):
sportsbook anymore. We had had asituation, how can I put it.
I have a wife, obviously,and and she was putting in plays and
I was putting in place. Obviously, it's always good to be able to
take advantage of both. We wereboth VIP members because of the amount of
money that I bet, so Iwas taking advantage of their of their generosity

(20:32):
by basically being able to wager twoVIP accounts and be able to benefit off
of two accounts. I guess theydidn't believe that she could place bets so
that she would place bets. Butyou know, I was basically on my
computer on on her account and onmy phone on my own account, and
they kind of just, you know, obviously did whatever research they did,

(20:52):
and and it made me you know, obviously they're they're always looking, like
you said, to have that advantageover the better, and as soon as
a better is able to level theplaying field, they see it as a
problem. So I wanted to getinto your situation with DraftKings, and I
wanted you to just go ahead andexplain that, Yeah, if you want
to, man, I know itcan be personal for everybody. No,
No, that's that's all good.And I will say, you know,

(21:17):
you're you're absolutely right. They're gonnado whatever they can to maintain that advantage.
So if you start, you startunderstanding how to leverage bonuses. That's
pretty much the one thing I thinkthey look out for is, you know,
their bonuses are there to bring peoplein. And then most people are
bad betters and reckless betters, andthey don't understand bankro management. So you
could give them a thousand dollars,they don't care. They're going to lose
that quickly. And then more so, you know something I don't. I

(21:41):
don't one hundred percent know the reason. It's not like they didn't give me.
They didn't say for this reason yourband. And also I'll also say
this, DraftKings is the worst bookof all of them. They give the
worst bonuses, you need to playthrough the most. There was a moment,
you know, they were doing thebiggest ad spend. They were kind
of first to market, so there'sa moment where DraftKings was synonymous sports betting.
It was the book, you know, and everyone went to DraftKings,

(22:03):
and I think that allowed them toget really greedy and to give the worst
lines, give the worst benefit bonuses, benefits, player benefits, all that.
So you know, I would boycottDraftKings anyway. I mate draft things.
I got like even there, whatdo you call it? What's the
word I was using for there?Like the infrastructure of how they app or
operate it sucks? Yeah, what'sthe interface? Sucks? Yeah? Really,

(22:26):
I think it's the absolute worst.And if they weren't the one that
everyone remembered or began or had anaccount because they were playing daily fantasy,
I don't think anyone would use DraftKings. They're they're trash. But yeah,
I think. I think it's becauseI would take and I preach this all
the time. You know, let'stake two books, say DraftKings and Caesars,
and you get a bonut, youget a five hundred dollars free bet

(22:47):
on one for for your first play, five hundred dollars risk free. If
you miss it, they'll give youa five hundred dollars free bet. You
do the same thing on bet MGM. So I would DEPOSITI five hundred on
MGM, the Positi five hundred onDraftKings, and I would bet two sides
of an over under, so i'dmiss a play, I'd lose the juice,
and then I'd have a free fivehundred dollars bet. So I'm basically
paying you know, ninety bucks orforty five bucks for a five hundred dollars

(23:10):
free bet, and I would.I talked about this online, I talked
about this on TikTok. Kind ofthe strategy here, and I think that's
the reason. I think it's because, you know, I was talking about
ways to actually use their bonuses toyour advantage. Just get in, get
out, grab the bonus, moveon, as opposed to yeah, I'm
gonna sign up I'm gonna take thebonus and just be a reckless better like
anyone else. So stuff like that. I don't think the fact, you
know, the whole war on Vegasstuff, the fact that I'm always talking

(23:32):
about how bad a deal the booksare giving you, and I always push
people to you know, peer topeer books and things like that. I
don't think they like any of that. Not everyone knows and can link to
my account or is paying attention.But I had that, I had Caesar's
had a video of mine taking down, So I've had I've had issues,
you know. To me, it'sit's like a badge of honor when a
video gets big enough that they're like, fuck this guy, you know,

(23:53):
we got to take this down.So you know, it's more just I
think it's more of what I'm preachingonline than it is about my actual action
personally, which is good, whichis obviously letting you know that you're you're
on the right track, which iswhy if you're following fon things five,
make sure you reach out on whatare your platforms. I didn't on TikTok.
Just pick Compedia on TikTok, andpick Compedia on this. Yeah,

(24:15):
pick Compedia on everything. I gottenextra y on on a couple of those
because I've been banned a couple oftimes. But yeah, that's that's where
to find me. And it remindsme of what you were just saying.
Reminds me of those moments because I'mI'm like you said, you like poker.
I'm a huge black jack guy,so I love blackjack, and everybody
know, when the pit boss comesand stands besides you, it's like,
ah, I'm about to start youknow what I mean. They're about to

(24:37):
start double shifting, They're about tostart flipping, They're about to start doing
a lot of stuff because I'm winningtoo much money or I'm giving everybody else
at the table hits. Don't hitthat, don't hit this, don't hit
that, you know what I mean. And when they start losing money,
you know what I mean, that'swhen the eyes get on you and they
start like trying to, you know, move things back towards their favor.
So that's good to know. It'sawesome, man, to hear that there
are people out there like us.And then, you know what I mean,

(25:00):
that's basically going through the same thingthat the other betters are going through.
Yeah, that's definitely good to hearman. So, so what's your
favorite sport to bet on? Like, what's what's your go to Like?
For me, I feel like I'mbetter at NBA. I've probably won more
money on MLB just because it's eachand every single day no miss. And

(25:21):
as far as like statistics, Ican actually get into the numbers and break
it down and actually, you know, get outcomes a lot more often than
like a home run outcome or andthen you get better longer odds on those
types of bets as well, likestolen bases and stuff like that. You
can kind of break it down tolike a number. So for me,
baseball is my biggest sport that Iwent on, But my favorite sport to
bet on is basketball. What's yourfavorite sport to bet on? Yeah,

(25:47):
I kind of have a similar similaranswer in that my favorite Like I would
rather have a bet on an NFLgame than anything else because that's my favorite
sport to watch. I'm just gonnaenjoy sweating that out more than any other
game. But profitability, it's probablygonna be MLB as well. You know,
I I pitched in college, soI have a little bit more of
an eye test in MLB than anythingelse. But the biggest reason for me

(26:11):
MLB is so profitable is the publicis the worst in MLB, and it's
not a fade the public move becausethere's not enough volume of betting in MLB
to fade the public, which isanother reason I like it because you're doing
a real, just game analysis,not necessarily where's the money going? What
does Vegas want here? Where's maybesome of the incentivization. It's more with

(26:32):
MLB you can rely on the Itest and I just really focus on the
pitching matchups. And when I saythe public's bed it, they don't know
enough. So the lines aren't alwaysindicative of the difference in the pitching matchups.
And I pay attention to how deepthe bullpen is at a given time.
You think, oh they have agreat bullpen. Oh well they paid
they played sixteen innings last night,and people aren't People don't want it every

(26:53):
single day. They don't check allthat stuff. So I just think that
the lines are a lot more exploitablein MLB, especially the props to So
there's a lot of value in MLB. I like it. Postseason's great,
but you know you're in the middleof June July. There's nothing else on
in your thirteenth straight days. Ijust that'll be. It gets it's a
little more boring, you know,football, like Thursday night, I don't

(27:15):
care. It's oh Chiefs are playingthe Broncas their fourteen point favorites, Like
drop everything. I'm watching this gameon it. Yeah, it's crazy and
it's funny you say baseball because like, obviously I follow you your your Rangers
take dude, legendary stuff, man, legendary stuff. Dude catching them at
those odds and they're they're on fire, They're looking like, well, obviously

(27:37):
this this has been a breeze,this series of breeze. It's are you
a Rangers fan or are you justhaving to a research Yeah, it's a
it's a mixer. I'm not.I don't really have a team in MLB.
I do have a former teammate thatplayers on the Rangers, not like
anyone I keep in touch with orI'm good friends with. Just like you
know, I used to play withthe dude. Now he here he is
competing at the highest level. It'scool to see that, you know.

(28:00):
I tune into the games a littlebit more because of that. But I
just think they're slept on. Honestly, I think they're slept on. It's
such a deep hitting lineup, andwhen you get into the postseason that matters
so much more like having a deeppen, absolutely having a lot of guys
who can hit and not being reallyjust relying on one or two in the
middle of the lineup, because itjust you know this, it's basic to

(28:22):
people that know the game, buta lot of people don't realize how big
an impact one or two more reliablehitters are because it just puts so much
pressure on every app bat for thepitcher, so much more pressure. They
had a period where him and Youngwere both sitting and you know, they
had probably like six seven really stronghitters. Drops down to four or five.
Now you got space. Now youcan intentionally walk a little more,
pitch around people a little bit more, get into these situations where I know

(28:45):
the next guy, he's a twotwenty hitter. I can get out of
it. You put five six dudeswho are hitting two ninety plus, who
are slugging really well, and itis just such a formidable opponent. You
go deep into series and your bullpen'sgetting annihilated because they're just slug fast.
So even with the injuries to someof the pitching, I really like this
team. I think they're really deep. It's the reason the Braves are the

(29:07):
favorite, the reason the Dodgers were. Now they're in deep trouble. But
you know, having depth in yourhitting, it's really the depth for me
over anything else. That's awesome,man, that's awesome for sure. But
I don't want to keep you tooon. Man. Like I said,
I appreciate you coming on. It'sbeen a great little insight. Man.
I want to have you on more. If that's possible. I can hit
you up every now and then andwe can, uh, we can get

(29:29):
after it. Maybe do some youknow, maybe try to do something,
some content together. If you're upfor it. I think I think it'll
be awesome if we do. Youknow, we can come on and drop
a few plays. I do alive I do do a live stream on
YouTube sometimes for the games. MyYouTube following is not where I want it
to be. So it's it's alittle drive. But hopefully, man,
this this content will get out thereand people will start to pick up and

(29:51):
