0:07.6	110% of your initial deposit by using code next round. That's my bookie.orgie.com
0:13.7	Todd Furman, bet the board podcast.com at Todd Furman on social media, where he sent that is with us on the Shinar hotline.
0:22.2	What is up, Furman? How are you?
0:23.8	I'm doing well this morning, gentlemen. Hopefully you guys are as well.
0:27.2	I was surprised we got a relatively uneventful Talladega race last weekend, at least by Talladega standards.
0:33.9	But at least Dunaway's beloved team Penske crosses the finish line in the first place.
0:37.6	Jim called it. I gave him credit. I gave you the actual winner, right? Yeah.
0:43.1	You know, Dunaway, I figured Ryan Priest would have won the race. You would have had him on your card and he would have been disqualified. That would have been on brand.
0:49.7	The way that we go about handicapping things more often than not. Well, I tell you, you're so 20-22, Jim,

1:19.6	whole lot in the way of having that luxury working in your favor. And I think the hockey total
1:24.8	is even more interesting because we saw 11 goals scored in game
1:28.6	six, go flying over the total at 7 to 4, albeit 8 with some couple empty netters. But that total was
1:33.9	six, heavily shaded to the over, and here we are with a 5 and a half under. So there will be some
1:38.8	opportunity for contrarians. It's all about how you try and quantify the potential impact of a
1:43.5	win or go home type scenario.
1:45.4	We know the public absolutely loves the Lakers with the Lakers going out round one in five games.
1:52.1	I'm sure the books were happy about that because I would assume the Lakers once they acquired Luka probably a liability.
