My guy John LaGazia has a cool new way of breaking that's not cool new way. It's just an interesting way of looking at spreads versus money lines and what you're actually paying per point on a spread. I thought it was pretty fast name. We're going to run a season long season long trial to see if it actually yields results or not because we don't know it's all on hypothesis mode right now. I thought it'd be a cool concept for a show is what we're going to do.

Exactly. Exactly. Thanks for the promo. Appreciate it, buddy. How are you? I'm doing well. I'm so glad that you Bales and Peter doing the show again. Like I needed one more podcast to get me through the week. And that's it. It's fantastic to have it back.

You're referring to the very serious three donkeys podcast where me, Bales and Peter come into a show with no basically no plan whatsoever. And yeah, just talk about life and play these ridiculous lot in games. So yeah, it's fun for sure. So basically your show prep is the same for my show prep every show.

Exactly. We took inspiration from having no plans whatsoever, just wing it exactly. Yeah, we would no one feel. I mean, this is not great for you guys because people do hold you accountable. They hold have an account. No one holds me accountable because they assume I'm like, the worst possible decisions are like, ah, that's just entertainment. Don't worry about his fix. So now I don't need to prep anymore. It's fantastic news. Perfect. Yeah, for sure. Now, three donkeys. Three donkeys is fun. But if anybody actually is is trying for the next.

For trying to win for draft Kings or or season long just our regular podcast, establish run is totally free. And I would check that out for sure.

Yeah, you know, we get we get hurts it. Yeah, we I've been picking off all the ETR guys to be on my show lend me some credibility. So that's been very nice. Now you're on as well. But I will say I actually won money playing NFL draft Kings last year. And that was because of just blindly following run the sins. It may be.

I mean, when did you start going through and using like, because I know like I used to really like to hand build. I know that you like still to hand build like main lineups and stuff like that. But when you're using these optimizers and these tools, I found it just.

It made me stop making the stupid decisions that I would make every week when I just started blindly trusting it.

Yeah, I still think that I prefer to hand build. So I mean, I'll make somewhere between six and 10 lineups each week by hand. And because football is weekly, you know, much like golf, which by the way I've gotten into an I actually love playing the FS golf now.

But much like golf. It's once a week. Like if you can't find the time to sit down and really think and think hard to make six to 10 really good lineups each week.

And so maybe draft Kings is not for you. I feel like that's not a huge ask. I do think that if you're good at using optimizers and stuff like that, then ramming in 150.

I guess is fine. But I think people just have such high expectations when you ram in 150. And it's just not realistic. You know, like the attitude at all just put in 150. And how can I lose? I'll have something bubble up to the top.

So so so wrong because people are using bad projections. People are using bad rules. People are using bad software. There's just so much out there that I think is dangerous for people who are ramming in 150.

So I still think it's the most fun to hand build yourself and actually think that your expectation is higher if you're good at and make lineups. So that's kind of my should be a lot of.

I still do for the PME. There's the three spots. So I hand build all three of those lineups. And when I go into like the $200 the $100 usually single entries. Then I'm using my hand built lineup and those but when I'm entering like the 20 max or whatever it is, I'll just spend out like another 15 and be like.

And they always just inevitably end up being better than the lineups that I build anyway. So at least I've turned the corner of that way where I'm not building like the problem was like I tried to build like 50 lot of spy hand or 20 lot of spy hand. And I would just essentially make the same lineup with like two changes in it. I'm like, this if this goes wrong, this is horrible.

Yeah, well, first of all, I'm well aware of the PME contest. You're looking at the ultimate grinder. I would never miss a no rate contest. I'm always in the I'm always in the PME three max during the NFL season for sure.
