What is up on a Friday afternoon? I am Brian Scott Rippey. Thanks for tuning into another edition of the Rippy Rights podcast coming at you live on a mailbag Friday.

It is the people's holiday.

We have a pack show for you.

We have your mailbag questions as well as Skybox NASCAR guru Mark Harris.

He explains the sport to me like I'm four.

We've got the Daytona 500 this weekend.

What goes in to handicapping NASCAR

and why it's not necessarily analytics and numbers and all that nerd stuff that Skybox

makes you all money on with football and basketball and why he's kind of found some glitches

in the system when it comes to Vegas just not paying attention to certain things

when it comes to NASCAR wagering. Really interesting conversation, whether you are into NASCAR or not. It made me want to understand NASCAR more. Got the Daytona 500 coming up this weekend. So maybe you'll flip it on on Sunday. I don't know. Maybe you're an F1 snob like me. I'm just kidding. I'll probably watch a little bit of both. But good conversation with Mark. Good dude. We had him on last summer,

I think before we made the Rebel Grove transition. So for those of you that are, I guess, newer listeners, it'll be your first time hearing him. But he was great. And he had a wheel in this camera shot the entire time the man had to get to an irase when we were done recording. So great stuff from Mark, funny dude. And really interesting. He knows his stuff when it comes to NASCAR. It was really fascinating stuff. So before we get to that, I want to remind you podcasts brought to you by Skybox Sports Books. Who is Skybox Sports? Well, I'm glad you asked. They're the world's best gaming handicapping website. The inventors of the

Skybox matrix interval and advanced modeling mechanism that Skybox Mark does not use but has consistently

led them to the top of the sports handicapping industry. Need to check them out. If you are wanting

to get into NASCAR, they're giving their picks away for free for a couple weeks, as you'll hear

Mark explain in a bit because of some new car technology. That's where Skybox always wants to take care of their clients. You know, you have the new car technology coming out in NASCAR. Mark was sat there and thought, hmm, I don't want to kind of charge for picks when I'm still trying to get my bearings on kind of what the new equipment's going to look like for NASCAR this year. So we're going to give them away for free until I feel like I can beat Vegas. How about that? That's why they're the best in the business. They're crushing it in college basketball. As of last Wednesday, they're up 100 units year to date. That's a lot, or excuse me, 70 units year to date. And a hundred, enter this past basketball season, up 100 units over the last two seasons. That'll hunt. That seems good. Check them out. They're going to have a picks package that fits your price range, whether that's month long, season long. You can do sports-centric, whether you want to go all sports. I'd recommend just going with the year-long all-sports pass. It's going to pay for itself and then some. Look, if you're a degenerate, you are never going to profit in the long term off your own brain and your own knowledge. It's just not going to happen. You need the professionals. Skybox will consistently lead you to profit over a long period of time and allow you to create some supplemental income for yourself while watching sports. What could be better?
