## Summary

The video is a live sports betting session where the host shares his strategies for finding value across multiple sportsbooks, including PrizePicks, Betr, Sleeper, and Underdog. He emphasizes the importance of comparing lines, using optimal slip types, and taking advantage of discounts and promotions.

### Key Points

- **Taco Tuesday Intro** [00:35] — The host kicks off the session, mentioning a PrizePicks discount on Dustin Wolf (NHL) and other promotions.
- **California Ban** [01:42] — He notes that sweepstakes books like Fliff and Rebet are banned in California, so he must return to Virginia for betting.
- **First PrizePicks Play** [01:55] — He selects Fears under 3 on PrizePicks, noting the under is heavily favored, and pairs it with other picks.
- **Optimal Slip Type** [02:37] — He explains that five-pick flex plays are mathematically optimal on PrizePicks, though the difference from three-pick is marginal.
- **FanDuel Value** [04:27] — He highlights a FanDuel play: under 6 goals in the Canadiens game at +102, which matches Pinnacle's coin flip odds, calling it a no-brainer.
- **Betr Play: Payton Watson** [05:28] — He picks Payton Watson over 22.5 points+assists on Betr, noting PrizePicks has the line a full point higher, indicating value.
- **Betr Optimal Entries** [06:26] — He states that five-pick entries on Betr offer slightly better payouts than PrizePicks (0.5x vs 0.4x for 3/5).
- **Pick Six Promo** [09:22] — He uses a 30% NBA boost on Pick Six, selecting Trey Murphy under 21.5 points, noting PrizePicks has the line a full point lower.
- **Nuking a Three-Pick** [11:23] — He plans to 'nuke' a three-pick entry because three-pick entries are mathematically optimal, aiming for a $10,000 win.
- **Sleeper Juice** [13:25] — He criticizes Sleeper's high juice, citing a 57-cent spread on Tyler Herro points vs FanDuel's 26 cents, but notes their promos are good.
- **Underdog Bumps** [16:25] — He complains that Underdog bumped Sam Darnold's rushing line from 6.5 to 7.5, making the play less valuable, and calls Underdog a waste of time.
- **FanDuel Sharp Play** [16:49] — He recommends Alex Caruso over 1.5 threes at +180 on FanDuel, calling it the best play on the book.
- **PrizePicks Discount Play** [17:45] — He selects Woody Marks under 17.5 rushing attempts, noting the Rams are big favorites, and pairs it with other picks.
- **Dabble Value** [20:19] — He highlights DeAndre Swift to not score a touchdown on Dabble, noting the book offers one-way markets and the value is clear.

### Conclusion

The host demonstrates a systematic approach to sports betting, focusing on line shopping, optimal slip construction, and exploiting promotions across multiple platforms. He emphasizes the importance of value and math over gut feelings.

## Transcript

happy taco Tuesday, baby. Let's [snorts] uh let's get in some bets.
How is everybody doing? Let's get some bets locked in. We got a prize picks discount. It's an NHL discount. I'm not discount. It's an NHL discount. I'm not the biggest hockey fan, but you can't be
guys? How's everyone doing? What's good? What's good? What's good? Let's get rolling. So, what's the discount on? It's on um Mr. Dustin Wolf. So, I guess it's a six save discount. That seems pretty solid. Let's find some
plays that we compare. It looks like there's some good value on better as well as pick six as well. Pick six. Pick six has some discounts, too. [snorts] So, we definitely got to take advantage of those. But, let's get rolling. Um,
unfortunately, I'm in California right now, and they banned a lot of sweep stakes books. So, there's a lot of sweep stakes books. So, there's no longer flip or rebet in California.
So, I got to get back to Virginia ASAP, which I am going to do. But, let's get this locked in. So, the first play we're going to go with is Fears under three prize picks play. Okay, we're going to start out on prize picks
start out on prize picks if that's okay with you guys. So, first play that I'm going to add in with the discount is Fears under three and a over, under, same [ __ ] payout. His over is a heavy underdog. All the Bucks
have his under heavily favored. So, it's like, okay, that seems like a good play, but the question is, what else do we want to pair? And this play looks solid. I mean, there's not as much liquidity, but whatever. We can go with it. It's a
but whatever. We can go with it. It's a hockey play. Why not? Um, so this is prize picks discount. Okay, so this is the first play we're going with. Can somebody please, please, please, please, please drop the
link in the chat. Again, like on prize picks, five pick flex plays, that's like the optimal slip type if you break down the math, you know, behind their payouts. I've done I've done videos on that, stuff like that. But regardless,
very marginal, like the difference between a fiveman and a threeman. So, whatever. What do you guys want to do? What do we want to look at? Here's the play. Okay, prize picks play. Three pick entry for
Taco Tuesday for the discount. We can do better. We can do underdog fantasy. We can do sleeper if there's good promos. We can do pick six if there's good promos. Whatever.
So, we got our first play locked in. Let's go. Let's go. Um, yeah. What do we want to do, man?
is a first play. Taco Tuesdays, the link in the chat. Alex Daddy, please twerk for us. Oh my gosh. Peter Gazer, you're crazy, bro. What's up, Peter Gazer? Um,
hey, Alex. Underdog or pick six? Do the sleeper 100% boost. Okay, give me a sec, guys. I'm going to do it all. We're going to do it all.
why not? Okay, I'm going to do a better slip and then we can move on to some other sports books. Again, unfortunately can't do FanDuel. It's not in Although this play looks really good. I mean, if you do use FanDuel under six
goals in the Canadians game, plus 102. FanDuel is the only book offering plus money. Looks good to Pinnacle. Pinnacle has this as a coin flip. Getting the coin flip at plus 102 odds is a no-brainer.
So, this seems like a solid play on FanDuel, but again, unfortunately, um you know, it's not legal. Um in California, where I currently am for the next couple days, dude. Man, Virginia is becoming better
and better after California got rid of uh sweep stakes bucks flipping rebet. It's just becoming clear. You got to be in you got to be in Virginia, boys. Um
Okay, so I got the first play locked in. Let's see what else we can do. So, it seems like people want to do better. So, let's do better. There's also a lot of value on better. And as a lot of you guys know, I like my value. So, the
first play we're going to go with is Payton Watson. Okay, Pton Watson over 22 and a half points plus assists. Damn. Payton Watson has been cooking recently. Payton Watson has been cooking
recently. And they have this line just like way too low. I mean, Prize Pix has him a full point higher at 23 and a half. Even if you don't use prize picks, you want to look at. They got his line a full point higher.
Okay. So, the first play I'm going to roll with in my better slip, Payton Watson over 22 and a half PAs. I mean, his under is a huge underdog, so his over is the more likely outcome. And again, this is just another fixed payout
sports book, but what I need to do is find some plays to pair with. So, let's get rolling. Jaylen Johnson, who I do love, but his line is just too high at 41 half. We're very clearly going to fade him there. Again, on
better on better, five pick entries are optimal, too. They actually offer like very slightly better payouts than prize picks because you know like on prize picks they don't offer that good of
payouts or they do I mean five pick entries that's like the optimal slip but entries that's like the optimal slip but let's see what we can do.
What is the final play? We want to go with Mark Williams over in points or eh with Mark Williams over in points or eh I'd rather run this.
I'm trying to move quickly before the bumps start. So, Payton Watson still hasn't been bumped. That play's crazy, man. I mean, again, his under is a huge underdog, so his over is favored. This is the play.
locked in. Please put the link in the chat. And again, like you can see on better, you go three for five, you get a 0.5x. Prize pick only gives you a point 4x. So like if you could run a fiveman on
better or prize pick, you'd rather run it on better. But regardless, it on better. But regardless, hi. Let's get this locked in. Sometimes I have to like disconnect my phone. It just like [ __ ] with it. But
eight and a half ra. Thank you guys for putting the link in the chat. I appreciate it. I'm on mobile today so I can't link. That's okay. Four god 7.
No, I didn't think about getting Lasick. Is Virginia the best state for sports betting? Yes, 100%. Virginia is also a great state. State is 76% female, bro.
How are any of you high schoolers? What time do the Commanders play on Sunday? Shut the [ __ ] up. Yo, moderator, Sunday? Shut the [ __ ] up. Yo, moderator, ban this AZF5
OKC. Yo, when do the Commanders play Sunday, man? I've been Are they still in the playoffs? Are they still in the playoffs? How Jaden Daniels looking? Jaden Daniels
How Jaden Daniels looking? Jaden Daniels going to win MVP? I don't know. Anyways, let's see what we can do. I got people asking for underdog and I got people asking for underdog and I got people asking for DraftKings pick six. So, what
was the promo again on Pick Six? They got 30% NBA boost.
mean, the first play I'm going to go with is just this Trey Murphy prop. Trey with is just this Trey Murphy prop. Trey Murphy under 21 and a half points. Let's see what we got here. Um, so Prize Picks has this line, you know, a full
point lower, which again, it may not seem like a big deal, but like this [ __ ] matters uh long term if you want to make money, which you should want to do if you're sports betting. The amount of sports bers,
you don't give a [ __ ] about making money is ridiculous. We have Dvenenzo, his is ridiculous. We have Dvenenzo, his unders heavily favored. Dante Danchenzo, Dante Danchenzo, under five and a half rebounds. That is a high rebound line.
Dante Devincenzo under five and a half rebounds. Dante Dvenenzo under five and a half rebounds.
Um, but let's see here. We need one. No, we need two more picks. annoying, but we need two more picks. annoying, but they're asking for a
damn, bro. Yo, so we did take Collins over in rebounds plus assists, but I will say I do kind of like his but I will say I do kind of like his under in points.
What else do I like? As well as Sangons, under and Pas, As well as Sangons, under and Pas, dude, a lot of [ __ ] unders,
checks out from a value perspective. So, here it is. It's a four pick entry. If you guys can see my screen right here, which you hopefully can.
And then what I'm going to do is I may just absolutely nuke a threeman because three pick entries are mathematically optimal.
pronouncing that name correctly, by the way, and just [ __ ] try to nuke some way, and just [ __ ] try to nuke some [ __ ] Under. Under. Under under. It's beautiful. I mean, this play on Colin is ridiculous. Like, he's a huge
favorite to go under. So, I also absolutely nuke this and I plan on making $10,000 tonight. Let me put this link in the chat though to be a good friend. Alex hates sleeper.
What's up, Christian Vasquez 1650? Man, I still remember my first day in I still remember my first day in college. Um, we were doing trivia like in front of the entire university. They asked when was Stanford founded?
know the answer, you're supposed to answer. And some girl responded 1476. That's what your username reminds me of, bro. 1476. I don't even think we were a bro. 1476. I don't even think we were a country yet. Um, but that story stays
with me. Anyways, people want some sleeper promos, so I got to do the sleeper promos. So, I'm a good friend. 147 1476. That [ __ ] was a legacy, bro.
Anyways, let's see what we have here. We got Ruy Hatchima. No, sorry. I'm trying to run through Sleeper again. It's a trash, not trash. Maybe that's rude to
trash, not trash. Maybe that's rude to say. Um, it's a shitty buck unless unless you run the promos. They like like again, they run amazing promos on this platform. They just charge like an ass ton of juice.
I mean, it's ridiculous. Like Tyler Hero points, they're charging a 57 cent spread. FanDuel is 26 cents. So they're charging like over 2x the amount of juice as FanDuel. A little ridiculous. You know what I mean? So
six. Bro, we just did pick six. You guys asked me for books that we just did, asked me for books that we just did, man. Like what the [ __ ] Um, I I see some people begging for
underdog. So, let's see. Sam Darnold, ugliest player in the NFL. ugliest player in the NFL. Just kidding. I I like Sam Darnold.
Like, the Commanders had a better season than the Eagles if you think about it, and tear of getting our, you know, [ __ ] ripped out by the
San Francisco 49ers. So, it's actually better to be an Eagles fan or sorry, a better to be an Eagles fan or sorry, a Commanders fan compared to a fan of the Eagles. But what was I gonna say?
the Eagles. But what was I gonna say? Oh, what I was going to say is um Kevin Durant, dude, there is some good [ __ ] So again, all these platforms have like thousands of lines up at any given time. You know, we're just trying to zone in.
This guy's last name is Vaseline. Oh, Vaselpski. What a stupid last name. Um, but what was I going to say, man? Is um, you know, underdog six pick entries. If math. If you don't believe me, break down the math on your own and you will
see that that's the optimal [ __ ] type. a Knicks game once and the shirt is super comfortable. Um, yo, can someone put a link in the chat, please?
chat, please? What the [ __ ] anyone get the play? [panting and gasps]
link? You should just work at Yapplebees. I'm snitching on you to the wizards. We could not see it, son. Dude, are you kidding me? None of you guys were paying attention, dude. And people are going to blame me
for yapping, bro. I was just keeping you guys entertained while I built the slip and unfortunately um [ __ ] got bumped, dude. We got to go, go. Colin Gillespie, that's a beautiful
of you guys must have bet it because they already removed they already they already removed they already removed the Colin Gillespie play. So, let's go here. Are you kidding me? And
they removed Darnold. Underdog is a waste of time. I'm trying to do an underdog slip. They just bumped Darnold by one rushing yard and he doesn't rush that much. So, like six and a half versus seven and a half, it's a bigger
deal than you think. I see people asking for what are the best FanDuel plays. Fine. I'll show you some sports book. Again, I'm not in a state with sports betting currently, but like plus 180 for Caruso over one and a half threes. That
you know, sharp money tool. It's arbitrage. So, one of these two bets has arbitrage. So, one of these two bets has to be profitable.
Um, anyways, Alex Carus over one and a half threes plus 180. That's probably the best play on FanDuel. Underdog's a waste of time. I'm sorry. Look, I would have loved to give you guys an underdog play, but
but what I am going to do is let's rip it. So, if you didn't do I see some discount?" So, I'll give you guys the prize pick discount. Okay, let's do that. So, the first play we're going to go with is Woody Marks
under 17 and a half rushing attempts. I actually am kind of curious, actually am kind of curious, dude. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Rams are big favorites. Patriots slight favorites. Seahawks massive favorites, but also the
Eagles were massive favorites. So, I don't know, man. I wouldn't trust this is literally a coin flip as in flip a coin, heads or tails, that's who's coin, heads or tails, that's who's winning. Um, but anyways, sorry I was
doing a slip, wasn't I? Okay, so we got Woody Marks under this Fierce play is ridiculous. I used that with the prize picks taco, but whatever. You can use it again. Um, in a fiveman, you could Sangune. This looks good to
every sports book. You can see here Sangun's under is massively favored on Sangun's under is massively favored on every book. Alpare Sangun under one and every book. Alpare Sangun under one and a half steals. Um, I believe he's from
Hong Kong. Where the [ __ ] is a steals line, bro? Where is Steals? No.
Okay, so I guess they got rid of that. That's super annoying. Damn, bro. They are on their bump game. But that's okay. That's okay. Listen, it's okay. I'm going to do a fiveman. Okay. If you
didn't include the taco in the previous slip, you can use the taco. Were there more sleeper promos or did I do everything?
[ __ ] So, again, you could run the Dustin Wolf play with this, but I'm just trying to do a fiveman for shits and giggles for fun. So, we got four picks. So far, I mean, you can see here again, Fierce is a big underdog to go over,
Fierce is a big underdog to go over, but I want to finish this slip off well. So, like this play looks solid. I mean, tennis play kind of interesting. Jacob Mensick, I mean, huge favorite like Pinnacle is a really sharp book. They
have his over massively favored minus 147, decently tight market. It's definitely the sharpest book for tennis. So sometimes these slips look like the putting together, but if that's where the value is, that's what you got to
the value is, that's what you got to bet. So here we go. One, two, three, four, five. Get this locked in if you want to tail.
play. Adams under six and a half points. Yo, I will say Dabble has been popping. They were kind of beat for a bit. I feel like they like cleared up their value, bro. Oh my gosh. DeAndre Swift to not score a touchdown. Like this play is
insane on Dabble. Again, it's not on prize picks. It's one of the many benefits. That's one of the many benefits of using, you know, multiple apps. Like you can see DeAndre Swift is a massive underdog to score a touchdown.
A lot of these books only offer one-way markets. You can only bet the over. Sorry, it's a good nat. Uh, you can only bet the over on Swift touchdown, but he's a heavy underdog. So, these books are telling you through their market,
through their prices that like, yo, DeAndre Swift, he's a lot more likely to that's the play you want to be on. Um, but regardless, there's a [ __ ] ton of value on Dabble. I just got banned on it. Dabble
it. Dabble is the only book that I am banned on. Other books limit, but they don't ban. But that's a crazy play. [ __ ] man.
