A Numbers Game | February 5, 2026 | Hour 3

0:00A number is called the story of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Kill I like Xander. We said our number three of the numbers game at these sports betting that we're facing calm game plus I hard radio YouTube TV series X of channel 158. However, it's taking us in. I appreciate Gill Alexander Kelly's behind the glass crack standing by here. Want to get through the rest of the tweets every four we clear the slate for crack. Brian, Brian Morianne, my earthquake experience, sleeping on an air mattress next to a slider under a projector at my now wife's cousins house in San Mateo. Wow. I was a, I was a journey. It was like four a.m. So really didn't know what was going on. Yeah, I've been woken. I've been awakened by an earthquake in San Francisco. That's kind of freaky too. Steve New York football, John's 42. I'm sorry, but I don't understand variable winning coach of the year. If I were a voter, I wouldn't even have him in my top four McDonald Cohen Johnson Shanahan. I'll have stronger cases. Heck, he says you could even argue Sean Payton as well.

1:01It's a, it's a loaded category for sure. Vegas vice apropos of your credit card story. Win sportsbook put up a line with a minus 220 favorite on the wrong team in a conference tournament. I took a one unit bet and then called the win to tell them all I received was a thank you. What would you and crack have done? Oh, I might as well. This is very question here. I think I would, I think what you did is very appropriate. By the way, Alan Boston would have said back in the start of us days. He would have said to them beforehand that that's what happened and they would have allowed him to make the bet before they change it and would have thanked him for alerting them back in the Scotty Shetler days over there at the, at the start of us, um, let's see. Jason H 11. You should definitely get Matt Brown in on Monday for a prime time action reunion. We will have Matt Brown on the show tomorrow, though not in studio. I don't think, but just he will be on the show tomorrow. Maybe we will have that on Monday. Corbin Morningvellas have been a little bit behind the last couple of days, but going on day five of working out and trying to start healthy or habits, just in general, curious if you're Kelly, have any random tips for losing weight, the Super Bowl is my cheat day.

2:03Kelly did his way loss the, uh, the newfangled way. I would say, uh, I would say intermittent fasting is probably the best thing that works. You know, people have best results. If I was just to give one answer, that was it clearly. I have not been employing the intermittent fasting nearly as much as I should be. I will get some more tweets, but ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, unscripted with the Cragman Bill Crackenberger. Let's go. I'm sorry about that last guy last question. I have no weight loss tips. No weight loss. No, right now I'm on the reverse Ackens diet, that's what I'm looking at. That's right. You know, how about living in Vegas, though? It's so tough. I'm on the road. I'm, I'm, I'm, I say road. I'm out of the house. Yesterday I left 730 in the morning. I literally left the apartment 730 did not get back in until 930 last night.

3:05That's just, I do that a lot. I'm out 10, 12 hours a day, especially now, um, I was at South Point. A South Point is, is, um, taking 2000 on props at the counter. Um, you know, I like their sheet and it says around the bottom, $2,000, like I like to know, they actually tell you, I like to know. I think every sports book should do that for everything. I only, I think stations does it. That's the only one. So I give stations a little bit of credit there, even though me and you, when I bear, well, not you, I did it. I bear it in less week. I got that got over 200,000 views, um, you know, them throwing out. I would have pulsed, but however, at least they have, they show you what you're allowed to bet. But if you bet it, it may get thrown out. Yeah. Um, it's, you see, it's a best limits in town or where the win. Took, took some really good limits from me, um, yesterday. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yes, which would not have been my guess, by the way, I, I have, uh, yeah, the win, wins, the win is good to me at the sports book. They're very good. Um, you know, last year, I bet 14 props at the win.

4:09I went 11 and three. And this year, right now, I only had three. So, uh, you too, you as well, yeah, it's kind of been the thing. Oh, really? I didn't, I haven't really heard that from the one. I only had three at the win yesterday. I had last year at 14. How many total props have you bet? Not as many as this is the lowest bet Super Bowl handle wise. This is what we've been talking about. If the people on the show want a couple of props, I may give them to you. Wow. I have to decide if they want them because, oh, they don't really know. I don't want to hear anything if they lose. But if they win, I don't want to hear anything either. If you want to get tweets for people, say they want them, is that what they want? They want to have some, I have some props that I bet thousands and thousands. Listen, I bet 4,000 on this one prop at Westgate when they opened. Um, and, and I bet, uh, another 2000 since then. So I'll be, and it's still worth the bet. My, I would never give it out if it wasn't worth the bet. And the other one, I bet, uh, for two grand and the line went against me.

5:11I can better, but I could get a better line now. So I'll give them out by the end of the show if they want them. Okay. There you go. There's, there's the, there's the call to everybody. If you want to make, uh, let me be cute about something. My buddy Jerry Eisenberg's 95, 95 year old fish, you know, he, he is in 17 Hall of Fame's 17. I don't know anyone in 17 Hall of Fame 17. He's held, you know, everything boxing Hall of Fame and, um, he, Agno on and on, sport writers, he's in a Jewish Hall of Fame. He's in so many different, um, Hall of Fame's. Jerry Cole is in the Jewish Hall of Fame. Is it, there's a Jewish, um, sports sports, I was going to say, I didn't know we had a broad one. By the way, uh, this is just breaking news started to cut in Bill. Tom Serrani and now, uh, indicating that, uh, what, what we sort of surmised here at the beginning of the show, what others have surmised all week, Milwaukee bucks have indicated two teams that they are keeping Yannis, aunt's to come both through the trade deadline and we'll start making other trades sources tell ESPN.

6:12So there it is per Shams. Yannis staying put at least until the off season. F him. You got me here for an hour. What do we care? Do you think that one cares? Oh, yeah. No people care. I'm sure, but you know what? I'm sure it is, but you are right in the sense that we did. We do talk about it a lot in the end. They did nothing with it. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so Jerry calls me up a week ago. Billy, I'm going to do that prop article, but you know, just get a prop ready for me next week. We'll talk about it. You know, he still writes for the star ledger now, which is online and J.com. Jerry still writes. He's active. His brain is so good. Still and dear friend of mine for decades, love, Jerry. And he calls me up and he says, all right. I'm going to call you next week. Well, what do you think he does calls me up yesterday and says to me, Billy, can you give me the odds on a prop and I said, oh, who is it? What do you need, Jerry?

7:13Cooper cup. I said, okay. I'll give you the opposite cap. Cooper cup. Yeah. He said, I think he's going to be a great prop to bet his over on all his stuff. I said, oh, wow, all right, Jerry. You know, everyone must, yeah, I want to tell you something. I did what a lot of people. Everyone doesn't matter what they do want my stuff. Sometimes I have friends that don't want it. They don't want to hear nothing. They're going to bet their own stuff. I tell you, we talk about this. No matter what, there's, I didn't expect you to do this. But no matter what, there's still going to have their own stuff, which is great. Let them do it. It's fine. And the amazing thing is let's say they go in two and I go two and oh, they get mad. They're like, yeah, okay, great. I lost juice. And okay, there's like not even a no one cares as long as the Jerry calls me up. This is it. We've been doing this thing for years too, but he never usually gives me a bet. He likes to bet there. He likes to bet a little bit, you know, Jerry bets 25 bucks, 50 bucks, 100 bucks. And he says, yeah, that Cooper cup. He's going to be a difference in this game. I said, okay, Jerry, here's the odds just to let you know, and we're done with it. I'm waiting for them to ask me and I said, okay, so what are we doing?

8:14The story goes, now I canceled that. Wait a minute, Jerry, you called me up. They give me your prop and I was going to do get ready to do an article with you. And you called me up just to give me your information. I said, you want me to write about it? I want to tweet it out or I want to, it was just so cute. And guess what? Yeah, I'm so happy. I didn't have to do another one. You know, you get calls from all different media sources during this time of the year. And this Super Bowl doesn't generate that kind of excitement for someone like me. And not only like me, no, I just people in general see, you know, someone from Fox, text me a big, which I'm not going to give the name. It's a big name, though, yesterday, text me. And he said, he made a comment. And he said, um, how, how there's just no excitement around not, not Fox, but everyone to see how it just, it just seems like frozen. Nobody I speak to has any interest in the Super Bowl, no energy. They need, oh, okay, they want Alan.

9:15I didn't really realize they said they need collaboration in there, you know, like, um, Collie Brown, like they, I guess because the quarter, but I don't know. Like it's just, no, it's not really interested in Super Bowl. They expect that 90% of the handle will come in as always Saturday or Sunday that people will obviously the bets are, have yet to come in or the majority of them by far have yet to come in. But no, there is absolutely, if we're being honest, right, that is a very common sentiment. We've talked about here multiple times as well from the valley at our place where you used to live where I live now, who don't, who aren't big bettors, but just mentioned that also unsolicited. They're like, Hey, are you, are you betting as much on this game as normal? That because they're not, right? And they're like, they can't, they can't work up the enthusiasm for this matchup. And you're right. Maybe it is the quarterbacks. Maybe it's just the fact that there is no mark. Well, first of all, we've been so used to having patchable homes in every year, right? That's right. But there's also no Josh Allen. There's no Lamar Jackson. There's no whomever, right? That, that the common man is, is really jazz to see.

10:15But hey, look, at the end of this, either Sam Donald Drake May is going to be a Super Bowl champion. So it is, it is what it is. And every reporter that calls me no matter where I just did in the air post, they did some other, this, everyone wants to know about the, the, the betting exchanges. Everyone saying, Oh, these betting exchanges, they're taking over, right? Oh my God, they're going to be so, let this not go so fast. Here's why I have friends that are that coming for the Super Bowl. And none of them have a betting exchange. And I was like, wow, you're talking like, I know like six people that are sports bettors. They, you know, they'll put 2000 in their app, good amount of money, about a hundred, 200 bucks. None of them have a betting exchange. They're all from Jersey and Pennsylvania. And it kind of surprised me. I figured one or two of them, no, I play with, you know, Draft Kings or Fandoah, EV commercials in the bonus game. The bonus isn't the, it made me think this betting exchange thing may only be for

11:18guys, you know, that are sharper guy. Listen, I don't have them yet. I don't have them. So, but if I'm looking to save, of course, you're laying a dollar, two a dollar, three instead of a dollar 10, yes, we're supposed to all have the betting exchanges, but we don't. So that, I find that very interesting. I don't think it's as big as you think among the social proud. You might be right. No one's going to put anybody, you know, it's not like legalized sports, which are going away. And Americans are slow to adopt things anyway, right? In game betting to forever to adopt also here in this country. We'll come back more with crack man on a numbers game with visa. These sports betting that were your hair because you want an edge. That's what separates listeners from winners. But let's be real mindset alone doesn't get bets home. Pros win because they've got the tools, the data and the discipline. And now so can you. Visa programs you access to the same real time insights, the sharps use, no secrets, no fluff, just actionable info that moves markets to have the link and see why serious betters are turning knowledge into profit with visa and pro.

12:18Yeah. Numbers game on FESEN. These sports betting network numbers game live from circle resort casino down to Las Vegas. Kill Alexander, Bill Crackett burger at Bill Crack band with the K name of the podcast is wise. Cracks with John Orlando. You're also doing your Fox sports as well. Oh, yeah. If Fox sports radio seven a.m. The 10 a.m. Monday mornings, I'm sorry, Sunday mornings, of course. But my question was, um, so you guys are doing a show. This is a special show you're doing on Sunday. All everybody at Visa and all the shows. Oh, nice. Everybody's doing a show on Sunday all day long. Okay, good. Good. That's nice to make extra money. So anyway, we don't get paid. Oh, I didn't know that. I'll talk to Kelly Mike at paid more. Yeah, I don't get paid more. So, uh, I'm going to come on after my Fox show, a 10 to 10 10. Okay. All right. You probably don't even know. Yeah. So I'm coming on, uh, streaming or something.

13:18No, I know you're coming on. I appreciate that. Oh, yeah. No, I'll come around right. We get done around nine 55. So what a, what a mens you are. No, it's, yeah, well, um, well, I may even have another prop by then. If, if people want it, let's, let's see what people are saying. Let's see what people are saying. Chris, Bill, I have a, I have a big opinion here on something. I think it's something to be so different than anything one thing. Please. This Super Bowl. Yes, sir. I'm looking for someone that likes knowing one. Everyone that I know is betting Seattle. We everywhere. I'm so much sharps squares. Yeah. Everyone I know, betting Seattle. So, and yet it has, they're all waiting for the money line to come down. Like it does every year on traditional, except I'm a line's pick. I'm like, was it last year? I think whenever it was closed, they're all waiting to lay two to one. 195. I'm hearing from the sharp guys. Oh, yeah, we're going to lay 195 today of the game. It'll be, I hope it gets going to happen. I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think this game is coming down right now, I'm looking at the sharp sports books and their minus 240, 235, even the sharp sports books offshore, 233.

14:23I don't think we're getting that money line that people think on this Super Bowl. I agree with you. Lying under two to one. What Bill's talking about again, we brought it up many times and we'll ring it up again for those who are tuning in for the first time. Betters usually, when they bet the underdog during the regular season, they take the points for whatever reason in the Super Bowl. Maybe it's because it's the last hurrah of the season, whatever it is. Betters who bet the underdog take to take, it's 10 to take the underdog on the money line. Involving 50, $100. Yeah. On the money line. And so it then mutes the favorite on the, on the money line in a way that doesn't typically happen. So we, I remember, remember the, the Patriots falcon Super Bowl. I remember as one example of this, where the Patriots money line came way down. Yes. Yes. I was up in Lake Tahoe. I remember that. Yeah. But I agree with you on this one. I don't think it's going to minus 220 here. It's the lowest in the industry right now is here. Yeah. Minus 220. Some of the, even the forecasters minus 220 to forecaster exchange.

15:23Yeah. So the lowest right now is right here. So there is maybe some money going coming in here on the dog. I was in a casino yesterday. I wish I was a lot to say which casino. I was in the casino yesterday. And when I was there, someone was making a six figure bet on, I couldn't believe it. Plus five on the wing one, six figure bet plus five on the wing one, like two counter, two, two down for me. I was surprised. That's the only guy I know. And I don't know him. He was just a customer coming in. But besides that, I really just can't find anyone on the, on the wing one. What's the odds in this? I go to, I go to the, I go to the south point and I go to put a bet and they have, they have a big sheet of props, big, thick thing of props. And I, I'm online and I get to the counter and I'm betting, what's that betting? Patriots under seven and a half, under seven and a half Patriots that have a catch in the game. You give away what are your props by the way?

16:23No. Okay. No, if you could find it, because you're not going to find it at the price that we're, I would go up to minus 130 on that. He was minus 115 there, 115 or 120. What was it again? Patriots. A number of Patriots to receive a catch. I'm betting, and I'm betting for their max 2000. And the thing comes up and he said, Bill, I'm on at the end just bet that, wait a minute. That's impossible. This wasn't like a, this wasn't a game that was given out on our service or something. At least I don't think it was. But I couldn't believe, I never, never seen the guy in my life. He had a backpack. He was, I have body parts away more than him. It was just like a little, I know skinny guy backpack and, and I, I shot him the old evil eye. You know, at least, at least at the south point, though, you know that it's above board, that that guy actually, definitely, we're as, definitely, we're as when you've been in those apps. Well, at the counter when I, when I tried to bet the NBA draft bet, right? William Hill season. At Caesar's where they spun it in front of me, right, from 51 to 25 to one, a bet that

17:25was likely to lose. And by the way, did lose. Right. Like, oh, somebody across town is betting at the same time you, that's the problem. Sure they are. Sure. Yeah. I hate when they lie like that. You're right. Yeah. We have a lot of properties, Bill, and someone else bet it somewhere else. That's why you have to go to the key ask and just circumvent them and just keep on betting $1,500. I hate to say it like that, but anyway, I thought that was kind of interesting to someone bet the same exact prop at the same exact time. So anyway, see in this money line and you're right over here, right where we are at a beautiful downtown circa minus 220, the best money line. But I'm interested to see if this does go down. I just don't see these New England betters trekking across the country and betting money lines when they could stay right where they live and bet. Are you, let's just talk about the, how empty Vegas appears to be here on a Thursday morning. Yeah. And I was telling a story last night. I was at the Aria just empty. Yeah. Guys, I did, I was in six casinos yesterday.

18:26You're absolutely right. Man, in fact, the guys at the wind said to me, you guys know that he goes, crack, you know, what's going on? That's what do you mean? There's nobody here. We have all these tellers. There's nobody in the, I said, this is the calm before the storm. Maybe the wind had nobody in, that's what everybody say, right, the calm before the storm. Yeah. Which could be true. Yeah. But it's a heck of a calm. Let's put it that way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But maybe it's just like the guy from Fox told me it's just this is the interest is not what the, some homes in the Allens and, you know, someone reminded me that I said something similar last year and then it finally did get crowded though. I don't remember that. So maybe that's maybe it happened last year. I think these parties are all sold out and stuff. I think that, you know, I think it's going to be packed up. I'm sure it will. Um, he says less than confidently. I'm sure it will be. I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah. I don't like that everyone charges. I don't like that. Even if you're a seven star member, it's users, you have to pay to sit in the book. I don't like that everyone charges for to watch the games. I know it's just, it is what it is. It's part of the, uh, that's why I put the South Point.

19:26They have a party. I think, I think it's free to sit in the sports book and I'm sorry, Chris, I'm saying it wrong. I think it's free to sit in the sports book and they have a theater or ballroom. It's definitely free, which is nice. It's nice to know, you know, South Point is one of the rim, the remaining ones that, that's free. Yeah. Listen, the Super Bowl is one thing. Like if anything was going to get monetized, it was always going to be the Super Bowl and March man is, but I mean, it wasn't too long ago. Where you got to march madness first, first come, first serve right at any casino. This was 10 years ago, right? That where it really gets ridiculous is, was a Todd and I were at Caesars once and it was like, it was, it was like a college football ball random day and they were charging at Caesars. We're like, are you kidding me? Wow. You know, so it's got, it's gotten ridiculous for sure. Now, where do, where do you go? Where do you go for the actual game? Right? Right in my apartment. Like everyone's coming over, party favors and everything or buy myself. Wow. Isn't that nice? I, that's how I prefer to take some. I've had those, those, those Super Bowl, I actually like it. Now, I just have a lot of people coming in town.

20:26I have a pool player come on my podcast next week. He's coming in town and he was, he was an undercover pool player. He was one of those billiards. People don't know that about me. I was, I grew up in pool walls. People don't, I never talk about that really. My dad, new Steve Mizorak's dad and he was a big player back east and so, but, but I have this pool player coming in and he, he would take, he would, take off all the, the big names, he would play them for whatever they want in their tournaments. And he was one of the best pool players in the world. So he's coming in. Steve Mizorak was the light beer for Miller. Light beer for Miller. Yeah. Even when you just show it. That's right. Yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. So that was Perth Amboini, Jersey. And his dad had a pool hall there. Steve used to stand on a milk, milk crate. My dad says, and you know, when he was a little kid and you wind up being one of the best at, you know, in the world. I'm also good friends with Alan Hopkins, Alan Hopkins, definitely one of the best pool players in the world for anyone that knows pool. They know these names. But Rodney Morris is the guy that I'm bringing in.

21:27Rodney was under the Hawaiian Brian, and he was, he was from Hawaii and under his guys and, and I have a lot of good stories about him and he's coming in. And like I said, it's going to be a good time. We had, it's all going to be at your place. It's going to be, but that's going to be a next week's podcast. Okay. But no, super bowl, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, super bowl. I'm going to watch it. And this year, I'm going to be over at Westgate this year. Okay. So, all your telephone tough guys, you know where I'm at, all right. But so, so let me just tell you though, I had Randy McKay on yesterday to give his, his super bowl stuff. And which is normally like a two-minute segment. He took a third of the show. Yeah, Randy took a third of the show. So he had so much stuff to say. So you guys want to watch that podcast Randy give out some pretty good stuff and you know he's a professional gambler. I'll tell you what Randy's doing though, he said, I can't wait till Sunday and he said and he put this out there so I could say it. He said last year downtown walking around down here for five, six, seven hours was the

22:32most one of the most profitable days he's ever had really because he's picked off the numbers from these books that are so high. All unders. Yeah. So well, that's that's Rufus's strategy in general, right? He's more of an under guy. By the way, Rufus gives out some props or some of what he's thinking about with certain players on the Megapod this week, but that's generally his strategy too as well. He used to, you know, be on the Westgate line and all that, but as the years have gone on, he's just waiting to bet under no, is the Megapod out yet? Yes, it is. Oh, oh, do you film that already? Yes. Yeah, after this, don't you use the ocean? Yeah, we just did it Wednesday. We just did Wednesday. So the Megapod's out. That'll be a great listen to. Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Crack, man. We'll see if people want to hear his props. Next. All the numbers game right here at Visa. The numbers game on FESEN. These scores many network. All right, Billy. Let's see what we got here. It's Twitter. Oh, I didn't reach Twitter. You know what I'm saying? Barks are entertainment props harder to find info on or books just not making them available

23:37like they used to. You know what? I haven't scoured Vegas for the entertainment props yet. I know offshore. I did the national anthem one. Bad buddy. I didn't do anything on because I have no idea, but I didn't really look around Vegas because I wasn't interested in doing any of the bad bunny stuff. So I'm not sure Nemo Ryan's voice crack. Can you give me some props? Okay. There's somebody. Then he says then having the nerd say, I don't like that one. He says, seven hills capper. We want him crack. Please. Sam Ginsberg. I've been on the board of the Western Pennsylvania Jewish sports hall of fame for about the last 15 years. It'd be good. Mr. Ginsburg, the hall of fame we found, the area iceberg was inducted in February, 2016. The international Jewish sports hall of fame. Wow. Yeah. What an honor for Jerry. That's something. Yeah. Interesting. I know he's part of, I think 17 and you know, his 15th book is a nonfiction book. Imagine 15 books. He has a 16th one coming out. A memoir titled baseball Nazis and netics hot dogs growing up Jewish in the 1930s.

24:40I'd read that. Yeah. I'd read that. Sam also adds. He says, if Billy converts, I'll put him in the Pittsburgh hall of fame. He says. All right. My man. I'll do my best to get him in. This is key. Let's see. Kino Walker. Damn, I'm late. Always live. No replay unless it's necessary. I think he's a little behind on numbers game. Terry Lash. Oh, this is a great point. It makes probably because I don't, I don't want to bring up the subject, but it's coming Terry. Terry says he goes, at what point does the Super Bowl become available only on pay per view? Oh, God. I contendably sooner than later. I think you're right, Terry. Jesus. I never thought something like that. Yeah. Well, American League of Charge for the World Series. Tell me. I do think we will see this. Wow. And he's, Terry's probably right sooner than later. I know it's sacrilege, but I think so. Brad Peterson. That's binge action the last two days on showtime. Oh, cool. He said, holy crap. It was like watching a Marvel origin story. Crack man, Kellyan Vegas, Todd Wischneff, people that I have followed out for a few years and see them in 2018 was incredible.

25:41Best part. A young, curious, Warren Sharp, oh, I brought them to the mom of the park. I forget. That's all right. I forgot. Warren Sharp was in there. Yep. Yep. A young, curious. He wore both high. I said, what are you doing? He wore both high. I made fun of it on the action. Get two and one. Let's go. Nick real nicks. I can't get enough of crack stories. I think I'm like a year or two older, but he's like listening to my cool uncle. Forget the doseck. He's dude. Crack is the most interesting man in the world. Wow. Wow. The RGB bill. We need some props. Gotta have them props. I have a funny feeling. Someone won. And Dave at Dave Neil 24, he's doing the, uh, chappelle scratch in the neck thing. You got any more of those crack props? Haha. That's great. Need the fix. All right. You want to give the props here? You want to wait? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's way to the end. Get your riders up. No. What does, what does Fez usually say? Go. No. Well, Fez is imitating the right angle sports method. Oh, okay. Right. Right. Right. Because right angle sports, they will release. And then sometimes they'll be like, not a play.

26:44Yeah. Cancel. All right. Right. Right. And then only when it's a real. So I've been doing this show every week with Alan Boston. Yes. I've been doing it like once a week, once every 10 days. And, um, how's that kid doing? I had some words with him the other day. Yeah. What a shocker. No, I had some words with him. And, um, and, and, and, you know why? Like, call them up. And I said, you know, just like I call any of my friends, you know, I, I did what a couple got knock around guys though. They talk about this and that, you know, like, and I'm just, they don't realize what I'm speaking to for a second. Mm-hmm. Hey, Alan. What's up? How you been doing? Alan says, what, what do you think I'm doing? It's basketball season. Yeah. That's Alan. I was like, you know what? Alan. I, I usually just let, I just usually just, you know, ignore everything when you talk like an idiot. That's what I told him. He goes, what do you mean, talk like an idiot? You asked me what I was doing. I did ask him what he was doing. Yeah. But I meant, hey, how's everything going? I said, how's everything going? What are you doing? Maybe there's a nicer way to respond. So he takes it literal though. Yeah.

27:44He doesn't realize, you know, I knew a lot of smart guys. There was a guy, Richie Schwartz was one of the best, one of the, I hate to say someone beat horse racing, but he beat horse racing. But, you know, he's very, very highly intellectual. He created these rags on the sheets, he was, he, not that he created, but he, he, he, he was the best with them. But there's no, it's black and white. There's no gray. Yeah. There's no gray. Yeah. And I had it with, I said, Alan, I need you to shut up for a minute and listen to what I'm going to say. Good for you. I said, when someone says that to you, they're asking, how's your day? How are you, Alan? How's life? How's things treating you? You didn't ask that. You said, but Alan, that's what it means. It means people want to know like, so here's what happens, Alan. You talk to someone and they walk away and you know what they say, that guy's an A-hole. That's what they say. That guy's really an A-hole. I want to speak to, even in your poker games or whatever, like, like, and, you know, Alan said, I don't want them to say, I want them to question me and talk to them and

28:46stuff. And I want, I want to help them. Alan's like a teacher. He wants to help you. But he doesn't know how to come across in a way that's where you used to, you know what I mean? Yeah. So interesting. I just, when he said that's not what you asked me, I said, oh my God, he's right. But that's not, he, I didn't ask him that. Like, I didn't ask him, you know, how does the casino go on? How's the slot? As I like to say, that's part of his charm. But he likes you, though, he doesn't say anything like that. Well, he, you said he's worried that he, I don't know if he's worried, but you said, he said, I don't think Gil likes me. That's what you told me. The last time you were here. Yeah. We had it because he cursed or something, right? Well, yeah, because he came on and he would help it. He came on and he would curse. He cursed a couple of times. The finally off air, I said to him, I said, Alan, you can't curse. You, you promised me you won't curse anymore. He said, I promise next, not the next time, because the next time I think he was good, but the second time after that, he came on, he cursed again. I said to him, my Alan, I can't have you on anymore, man. You cursed. He goes, I never promised you. I was good. Oh, my God. He doesn't even know what I'm playing.

29:47Like what I'm saying. Because the show's on serious and you can't curse on serious. Well, it was serious at the time, but there's also radio affiliate that you can. You can't curse. I mean, we have a dumb button, but it's like we can't have people to get to it. Yeah. They have to make sure you're prepared for it. I don't like cursing on anything or in front of anyone. I know. Because there could be kids or a female. I just, I don't like cursing, but I will do it, you know, amongst friends, if everyone, I will do it by, you know, but I don't like doing it on any shows, but I do find myself doing it more and more on shows with Alan. I'm being funny. No, no, no, I have, I, I, I, I, I, I'm pretty good at knowing when it's the right time. I want to say something. No, I went to YouTube to see some of the comments because someone told me, a multiple people told me they've never seen like 95 comments, 95 out of 95 positive comments on Alan's show. Like no one goes after no one says, I'm like, wow, that's how much of a beautiful mind he has. He's a, he's a fascinating character and it's all about his time with Richie Schwartz

30:51with. Um, um, oh god, Stu Unger, Stu Unger and him were very close. They used to clear Jeopardy boards together. So he talks about him at his time at, you know, Stu will come over his house and they would just clear Jeopardy boards and many other stories, but Stu Unger, of course, has 11 years with Billy Walters. It's very fascinating. Um, listen to a lot of his things and he has a lot of horse racing stories. He has a lot of, of course, his opinion on basketball, he's actually having a winning year this year. Do you agree with my take from the, from the tweet where I said that Alan Bawson would have handled that a mistake in a line at the start us back in the day by going up to them and saying, Hey, you have a mistake. Scotty Shettler would have given him the bet and then he would have moved it afterwards and he would have thanked Alan for doing it. Yes, yes. Now I got to be real blunt about this subject. You're going to be surprised. Bill Krakmer is talking about the subject and saying what I want to say, not sportsbooks because sportsbooks we play at, we have to play with these guys at all times. I would not take a shot at ever. I would tell him about a bad line before I'm going to take it. But there are some sportsbooks that I definitely would take a shot at and you know who you

31:54are. You have done it. You have thrown people out. You have robbed people. You have, you know, you have changed lines at the counter on them. Uh, I have no problem taking a shot at you on the cover. Um, but I'm going to go a step further. It doesn't surprise me. I'm going to go step further. I agree with you. Yeah. Do I tell the name? I mean, um, I'll just say it's Randy. So it's Randy McKay says to me, crack, New Casino opened and, um, the Royal flush that pays 4,000, they mistakenly on this bank put 4,000 for the straight flush, which is much easier to get a straight flush, four times easier to get a straight flush and a Royal flush. And um, it's, and, and he says, I, I think I have to tell them. And I would say, I gotta be honest with you down the line. I don't care what casino it is. You'll regret telling them because they'll do something to piss you off. They'll do something. They'll deny something.

32:54They'll do something. You know, down the line, they would, they'll do something that I'll say, you know, I told them about that. That was such a huge edge back in, you know, a month, a year or whatever it may be. I'm not. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I want to tell anyone anything as far as casinos casinos are so predatory that some of the things they do, I'm probably not gonna. That doesn't make me a bad person. I'm not trying to say, you know, it does. I came on the show and I talked about it in the past, over these last eight, nine years where we're doing this blackjack getting overpaid at the blackjack. And I said, you bet in ten bucks, and they overpay they pay you $10 instead of taking your money or instead of the push. And I said, I don't. So I don't say a word, and people said, wow, you're a thief. You did it really you're gonna steal from the comments you're you you're stealing from the casino. By the way you've probably been shortchanged at some point too. It could absolutely be you know I had a $5,000 pack and I couldn't believe it at $49,000 in it. It happened

33:55and the casino gave it to me like in the pack. And the pack. Yeah. Like like it happens sometimes. Yeah. You know it is never 5,100 in them. You know. Yeah. That doesn't happen. The pack's props Super Bowl 60 next all the numbers game. All right. So big game 60 on Sunday. Big game coverage is what you're getting from Visa. We're here all day. Covered starts 9 a.m. Eastern with Visa's pro football tailgate show with Mitch Moss. Paulie Howard setting the board early. Then at note a numbers game with myself Kelly Bidlin and just a whosu beginning with this man to my left. Bill Cracker Berger will be on with us on Sunday as well. 2 p.m. prop points.

And after the final whistle 10 p.m. Eastern cashing out big game edition with Dustin Sweetles engraving the bets and celebrating the winners on the biggest betting day of the year. It's all day coverage only on V sin. By the way, I just told crack my what story from earlier in the show about being at the aria food court last night tapping, understanding or realizing that somebody else's credit card was inserted underneath and that he had just paid for my dinner. There's only six people there. So I went to the first person I went to. It wasn't fact is critical. There were two people at two people at the table. He was like, Oh, thank I owe you money. I paid the money. He was not nearly as thankful as the guy next to him. I was like, Oh, my God. Thank you so much. Because the guy next to him realized this guy could have been paying for everybody's dinners all night with his credit card in there. He would go, this guy was like, Hey, thanks. Hey, thanks for the money, too. You know, you were amazed by that guy. Amazing. Because first off, you and I and we spoke to said the same thing. Yes. I would

36:02have been like, thank you so much and keep the money. Please keep the money. Yeah, absolutely. But that's because we have a gambling mentality. We're gamblers. We're around town like it's a different thing for, you know, Joe Publix and that are paying $45 for a couple of things at the fast food market. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's it's amazing. He wasn't more receptive. But you know, like I think that people in general don't think what could have happened there. I'll give you something more. You could have taken the credit card and you could, you know, if you're a thief, go to the store and then just start buying the VCRs or whatever VCR said people do that anymore. He said, I don't know how that came out. Yeah, we get tweets. Teddy Rack, Big Daddy Rack. He says, I'm all in on the props from crack Richard Burkhardt, Mike Alvarez, Super Bowl props, whatever. You know, I'll got many more than MLB futures. Also the Chappelle character, Dave Montgomery. I want to let crack know the prop I'm betting. I like that pukin of cool. That kid is good. He says, okay. Just going to skip sounds like Alan is on the spectrum, concrete thinking. Oh, definitely. Definitely. That. Oh, yeah. Brain pool. Bill, Bill Nidix is great hot dogs and orange drink. They

37:07were sponsor of Nick's game. There was a location at the old MSG when the Knicks would make a basket. Marty Glickman, the next radio play by play man always said, good. Okay, I'm not going to say that. Wow. He's a cool guy though. He's been around that guy. mile marker for it. 20 tell crack. We want the prop. I've been waiting all week for Bill's prop bets. Buddhist man, turbo and ozone reference earlier, Buggaloo, electric Buggaloo too. This mentions of the quad God and metal count handicapping. What an appearance by Drew earlier. Absolutely. Gizzy 1344 speaking to cracks getting mispaid. I cashed in poker tournament. When I went to a craft stable to play, I bought in with 500 and they said three of the 100s were fake. Come on. No idea how many more were because I did not use that money at a casino anymore. Wow. And then by week pace, regarding Super Bowl food at our party, make food natives to cities in bowl. This your clam chowder lobster rolls. Seattle hot dogs. Yes, the real Boston cream pie. See what you did there. Very interesting. All right, props. Hold on one second now. So I want to know this. So you're telling me you're, but you buy

38:09it for 300 bucks at a blackjack table and you're cashing out for $885 and they may stakingly give you $985. You're going to want to say, oh, you gave me $95 there. Take that 100 back. Like I just don't see people doing that. You know, Kelly came in door in the break. Kelly ran it. He ran in wanted to know what casino that happened. I told him. And what did he say on there? He said, he said a good thing. He said, oh, on their truth serum, on their truth serum is people that are coming after you are going to say they would have probably taken the same thing. They would they would have taken the money. Listen, I'm not saying I'm going to steal from and it's still is a strong word. You don't understand what these casinos have done to people. You understand I have they beaten you down broke busted, disgusted, can't be trusted. These casinos have done unbelievable things to people. Now I know we're all making our own decisions and we all put our own money up, but it's very, very accessible. Certain things at predatory and I don't mean

39:10I'm not picking on any casino, but certain areas of the casino. Now there's great things and nice thing. I actually put out believe it or not, a Caesar's video tonight to go. I just I never go to the front door. I've been in the front door in years. So I was with someone that had free drinks. He said, oh, let's go get some coffee. Yes. Seven star. There's a little booze there. I said, okay. And I started looking around. I said, wow. It is so nice that they redid where the statue. Is that is that Caesar or statue? Is this where the real Caesar lived? Right. Right. But that lobby there there used to be like a bell destined. Now there's a beautiful bar. It's very nice. And there's a statue. Everyone should go there to take a picture. That's what you want to do is take a picture in front of that statue at the front door. The beautiful entrance. The fountains are still there. I just thought it was so beautiful. I did a video. So I do talk good and bad about things. I just I said, wow. This is really nice. All right. Now, I'm only going to be waiting for this is the one that they're betting against me on this one. Okay. Because I laid it $1.10 and you could lay $1.5. I think right here, right now, Walker under two and a

40:13half receptions. So Walker under two and a half get it. Walker under two and a half receptions. Yeah. Yeah. Under two and a half receptions. I probably won't know some of the first names. Just a little, you know, that's why I'm here. Bill. Yeah. Yeah. And these people. How can you bet your things? You don't know their names and their pedigrees and what college they went to. So the other one, this was normally like a little more two. And I don't mind laying the juice on on this one. Collins under also two and a half receptions. Mac Collins under two and a half receptions. I laid a dollar 50 on this. And it's a, you know, to be real blunt, I probably regret not betting this again at minus a dollar 70, which I've seen a dollar 70. I haven't looked for it. I'm hoping it comes back down on that's the one you have 4k. They have the guy 4k on that one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm hoping that comes back down. But there's, there's two of them. And I'm going to probably have one for you guys. If you want it on Sunday morning, Sunday morning,

41:16and I think it's going to be real, I think I think our betting. I'm going to probably bet 75% of my bets on Sunday morning. I think it could be less. This is a lighter of Super Bowl for sure than previous Super Bowl. You have anything on side or total. Yeah. I mean, I really don't, I, I, I, I, my buddy of mine bought the six. I kind of liked that at the time when he bought it. I laid a dollar 23 on six. But you know what? I, that's the side the bookmakers are going to need. So that's the reason why I would maybe lean to that. The bookmakers are going to need us in the wing one in this game. I interview the head of risk at Ben MGM on my Fox Sports radio show on, on Sunday morning. And he was pretty surprised. Only 8% of the volume has come in as of Sunday. And he said they're, they're expecting 92% of their volume to come in later in the week or the week. And right now 80% also is on Seattle. And he doesn't expect that to change too much. Maybe

42:1770% he says that they're probably going to need new England, probably about 70% of the better's betting Seattle. So as we all know, God protects the bookmakers. So the bookmakers are going to need the 90, the 92% of the 8% that that does not surprise me. You circus very open about that. They always say 90% of the handle comes in Saturday and Sunday. I'm the game itself. Yeah. Yeah. Todd Bubberhard, which just text me, thanks Bill. I just laid $1.58 on Hollins. Todd, I'll ask you right now. Can you please text me back and let me know where that was. Yeah. Yeah. But I laid $1.50. Like I said, I'm happy to lay $1.58. But you know, it is amazing how everyone has action on this game, though. Housewives and people across school teachers and people across the squares. I guess the squares and, you know, they have squares at the in a couple of casinos here in town. I believe circus, one of them, you can buy the square you want like zero zero, right? And you get maybe five to one or so. I'm guessing

43:20that will be the out. But I don't think none of them are probably enough. Of course, none of them are true odds are not not even close. But I don't think that picking a box and at the numbers, they're going to have them on is anything of value. Of course, the only thing that ever really comes out, if there's a first, quite a lot of they do this year, they do first quarter zero zero has been profitable of course, even probably with those buying it at a lower odds. Do you remember your most profitable super bowl of all time? It was a score. Was it like 13 to 3? Yeah, the Rams and the, the, you are a fountain of knowledge, you know, everyone's name, you know, the, the, the, the, in that ongoing wildly, Wildly taut, I'm crazy guy. Yeah. But the unders, you know, which I used the bet 90% It's more like 70 now, I'll bet over some, but there is a couple of unders for you guys. And I think, you know, one person said something to me, what should I bet? I would just want to have some fun on the Super Bowl. Well, like you do, you want about 10, 20 bucks on the underdog, have some fun roof for

44:23the game because I usually I go to one Super Bowl party, I go to one game a year or Super Bowl party. I don't go to any games. I don't want any games. Yeah, about 10, 20 bucks on the underdog. Look for your best price and have some fun or something. I wouldn't recommend going crazy life. I always say this. And I want to tell you guys, I know everyone has to have a bet on the side here. And you're betting over and over and over and over again, you're going crazy hitting the button. You're going to over bet your bankroll. Be careful betting life, especially on a big, exciting game. You feel like you have to because everyone else is around you, betting and screaming and yelling. You don't have to. That's right. People get FOMO. Bill will be at the Westgate watching the game for all you telephone tough guys before that, though. He'll be on a numbers game.
