I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy?

Oh God.

And since you're a sports guru, I got to start with March Madness.

I mean, earlier in the playoffs, I saw a Kentucky player throw up this Hail Mary Heave from back court, and it was a swish. I don't even know how you practice that.

But my question is, what about these prediction markets where you can bet on how many three

pointers, Steph Curry is going to score in the next game? That's already produced a couple of scandals.

Yeah, look. So first of all, happy March

madness to all who celebrate. We got the Sweet 16 that is underway this weekend and then into the

final four. And I will be watching most of all of the games. And what you're referencing is

something that is very popular. Sort of across the American sporting landscape right now, it is prop bets.

And I think a lot of people understand, at least intuitively, that you could take in a game,

let's say, you know, we've got St. John's playing against Duke, for instance.

You could pick St. John's to cover the spread, or you could pick Duke to cover the spread.

And I think the spreads around five and a half points last I looked, which means Duke would have to win by six in order for you to win your bet.

You could also take the money line, which would mean that Duke would win outright or St. Johnson went out right and you'd make more money because they're the underdog.

A lot of money is it big in these.
