This is Veson by the Books on Veson, the Sports Betting Network.

We begin the madness in earnest here, the Thursday morning edition of Easton by the books, Dave Ross,

right here at the Mint Gaming Hall in Franklin, Kentucky.

He is our closer, Jensen Lewis, back home in Cleveland, Ohio, and Jensen, as I walked

into the Mint Gaming Hall this morning.

The security guards here are wonderful, so I get to see them every morning before they

open up shop for the general public.

And not kidding, first question that was asked of me as I walked in, who do you have, Miami of Ohio or Tennessee? It's already begun, my man, after what we saw last night. So you're going to be careful in these parts, how you answer some of those questions, Jensen. But yeah, the madness does feel like now that Dayton, the first floor are in,

we really get to tip it off today. And we're going to be the precursor, those early games here

on a Thursday. Yep, thrilled to finally make it. Probably one of the top five sports days of the

year. Set your brackets, get all your picks in. We will have all kinds of advice here.

Last minute decisions if you need to make on Survivor Contests.

We'll obviously give our picks for the Circuit Challenge for spreads and totals upcoming.

So a big day, just strap in three great hours to lead you right into the crescendo of tip time at 1215.

And as we love to have on Tuesdays and Thursdays here each and every week, what a great day to have Greg Hoops Peterson on the program as well.

He's going to join us later on this hour.

And then an hour number two, the maestro right there for the mothership at

Circa Las Vegas. Look, I love being here in Kentucky. Got my boys coming in today and tomorrow,

but I will say this. There's probably no better spot to be than Circa sports this weekend and

starting today. So Mike Palm's going to be there. Can I wait to get a lay of the land back home

in Las Vegas.

But I mentioned it off the top.
