October 12, 2023, it is the beating the book podcast week number six in the national football league is Gil Alexander.

It was going swimmingly well for me, the first four weeks of the season, and I just got curb stomped in week five.

We'll get in all that.

Really appreciate everybody listening week after week.

We'll try to do better next week.

I don't know.

Maybe Will or Todd did well last week.

I don't know.

No, he says immediately two staples of the show.

That was the voice of Will Hill at not the Will Hill on Twitter,

who is not only part of the Megapod, but also, of course, Bear Bettspod, both college and football versions with Christopher. How you don't, Will? You didn't have a good week either? One and two. Yeah, won the one Pittsburgh, which honestly, I mean, they were getting four and a half and probably even lucky to cover, lucky to cover that, even though they'd run and they lost the last two.

And, yeah, just ready for this week.

Ready to turn a corner here.

Bro, not only was I 0.N3 on this show, I was Owen 5 in circa millions.

Like, nothing went my way.

Todd, how'd you do?

How you doing?

Todd Wish and have everybody from his mom's Cork Attic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hi. Terrible week. You had a terrible week, too. It's been a terrible week in gambling. It's been a terrible week in life. It's just been a terrible week, period. Yeah. Todd and I are compartmentalizing, is what we're doing. World events have seeped into our world as well. Okay, and our rotating guests, we are always thrilled with our rotating guests, but I always learn something when Rufus is on the show. Rufus, Peabody, and Jeff Maher, kind enough to have me on Bet the Process, their podcast this week. We did a little bit of an exchange program. And maybe we should have had, I just learned,

maybe we should have had Rufus on next week because it's both Rufus and Todd's birthday a week from today. So happy birthday in advance to Rufus Peabody, everybody. How you doing, Rufus? I'm good. I think I beat you guys for last week in terms of how bad it was. Not only did I go 0 and 5 in one Cirque Millions, I went 0 in all five Circa Millions entries. And that was, so that was across seven picks. So I went 0.1.7. Okay. And three of my four, well, six of my eight Survivor entries got knocked out as well. Oh, I'm done in Survivor. I had the commanders. Yeah. And the Orioles lost. And the Orioles lost, he said. Which Rufus is a big fan of the Orioles. And I'll say it again. Rufus and I, both fans of the Orioles, because we are too young to be senators fans, too old to be Nationals fans. That's the sort of pocket of Washingtonians that we are. So we grew up as Orioles fans. What did you say, Will, what's the Survivor play this week? Oh, no. We were all talking about how much we lost, and I said, but here's who we like this week. Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, it's only one week, right? We did fine the first four weeks, yeah. So wait, let me ask you question before we get off that then.

Do you think there's anything, first of all, were all of your entries in millions the same picks, or were they different picks?

Seven. You said there was seven different picks that I spread it around.

The funny thing is, like, one of the picks I went like, I went Packers to be contrary and just given the fact that I thought the, I mean, the line had moved from, the line had moved towards the Raiders. So if people were entering, they were getting a lot of closing line value on, on the Raiders side. And so I'm like, okay, I'm going to go Packers here, even though my numbers didn't like it. Yeah. To differentiate and even that one lost. Yeah, they should have won, and I think Jordan Love just became so impatient on that last drive.
