| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in. |
| 0:26.0 | Welcome back to betting the buck guys here on Buckeye Talk. It's Doug Lamarice. It's Tyler Schumaker. It's me, just a podcast guy. It's Tyler, the official bookmaker of Buckeye Talk. |
| 0:38.0 | And we are here to talk about the Ohio State Toledo game seven o'clock on Saturday night. What are some betting angles to that game that could be interesting. |
| 0:46.0 | And then as always, T-Sue and I will each make one bet from each of the power five conferences. We'll see how we did last week. We'll go ahead to head again this weekend at the end. |
| 0:56.0 | We like to call money making time. That's where T-Sue gets in the weeds and gives you games involving middle Tennessee state and Idaho and the teams that you don't care about, but you might win money on. And what's better, what could be better than winning money on a game that you have no interest in? |
| 1:14.0 | That's what gambling is all about, Tyler. It's bringing life to games that otherwise would have zero meaning except to the people who happen to go to college there, right? |
| 1:24.0 | Yeah, that's exactly right. So like you said, middle Tennessee state, Akron, you know, all of those G five teams that would not be fun to watch otherwise. Suddenly, you throw 10 bucks on it and it's the greatest thing you've ever seen. |
| 1:38.0 | And I like to think of it as $10 well spent because, you know, I'm assuming that I'm going to lose, but you have to take that into gambling, you know, right? |
| 1:49.0 | I mean, I like to go to the track every now and then. I have to go see the ponies and you go. And I always say, when you go to a movie, you're definitely going to lose. Now you're going to be entertained, but you never win money at the movie. |
| 2:02.0 | You go to the track, you're going to be entertained. And there's a chance, no matter how small it might be, that you'll come home with more money than you went with that never happens at a restaurant unless you steal the tips off the tables, which I am not recommending. |
| 2:19.0 | At all most people don't leave cash tips anymore. Anyway, although if you leave the cash tip, then the server doesn't have to put on their taxes. So actually I enjoy the cash tip when you can. |
| 2:27.0 | So I get a little boost for him, give him the cash tip, pay your bill on the credit card, leave the cash tip, but maybe I'll steal it. No, I won't steal it. Can you imagine those poor children that you're stealing their tips. |
| 2:40.0 | That's why I love it. I love the diet coke is spicy. I like the chips and salsa. And I also like stealing tips from the servers. That is my, those, that's the threesome of the chillies experience. All right. Ohio State versus Toledo this week, by the way, just to note, you were very high. |
| 2:56.0 | High on the over in the Toledo game last week, and it didn't go over by like 40 points. You nailed that one, didn't you? Yeah, I'm pretty sure Toledo covered the overbody by themselves last speech. |
| 3:07.0 | So, so that means the rockets have a little fuel to them here. So this isn't off, you know, they scored I think 55 against UMass in this game. |
| 3:15.0 | Ohio State favored by 31 and a half on the number I'm looking at against Toledo's. That sound right to you 31 and a half. |
| 3:22.0 | Yep. 62 and a half, the over under, but also sometimes tissue, you like to define other bets inside the Ohio State game. |
| 3:33.0 | Is there anything with the 31 and a half that Ohio State's giving or the 62 and a half over under that you like when it comes to the mainstream bets? |
| 3:43.0 | Yeah, so not not surprisingly for anyone that's that's been following our conversations here over the years. |
| 3:50.0 | There's not much value embedding Ohio State against the spread again this week, especially against a Mac team in Toledo that, you know, like you said, no one really cares about outside of people that may have have gone there. |
| 4:00.0 | So I project this game in like 28 and a half. So the value from the game spread is going to be on Toledo. |
| 4:08.0 | I do like the under again, and I think this isn't going to be my this isn't going to be my official play on on this game. |
