He emphasizes the importance of line shopping, value betting, and using optimal entry types, while also navigating platform-specific limitations and promotions.

### Key Points

- **Taco Tuesday Betting Kickoff** [00:35] — The host starts the stream with a 'Taco Tuesday' theme, promoting a PrizePicks discount on Dustin Wolf (6 saves) and mentions other platforms like Betr and Pick Six with discounts.
- **California Ban on Sweepstakes Books** [01:30] — The host notes that California has banned sweepstakes books like Fliff and Rebet, limiting his options, and plans to return to Virginia for better access.
- **First PrizePicks Play: Fears Under 3** [01:55] — He selects Fears under 3 as the first play, noting the under is heavily favored, and pairs it with other picks for a 3-pick entry.
- **FanDuel Value on Under 6 Goals** [04:27] — He highlights FanDuel's plus-money odds (+102) on under 6 goals in the Canadiens game, calling it a no-brainer since Pinnacle sees it as a coin flip.
- **Betr Play: Payton Watson Over 22.5 P+A** [05:28] — He picks Payton Watson over 22.5 points plus assists, noting the line is lower than PrizePicks (23.5), indicating value.
- **Pick Six Promo: 30% NBA Boost** [09:22] — He uses the Pick Six 30% NBA boost, selecting Trey Murphy under 21.5 points and Dante DiVincenzo under 5.5 rebounds, among others.
- **Nuking a Three-Pick Entry** [11:48] — He plans to 'nuke' a three-pick entry, calling it mathematically optimal, and targets Colin Gillespie under, which gets bumped quickly.
- **Sleeper's High Juice** [13:25] — He criticizes Sleeper for charging high juice (e.g., 57-cent spread on Tyler Herro points vs. FanDuel's 26 cents), advising to use it only for promos.
- **Underdog Bumps and Value** [16:38] — He notes Underdog bumped Darnold's rushing line, making it less valuable, and highlights Alex Caruso over 1.5 threes on FanDuel as a sharp cross-market play.
- **PrizePicks Discount Play: Woody Marks Under** [17:45] — He adds Woody Marks under 17.5 rushing attempts and Alperen Sengun under 1.5 steals, but notes the latter gets removed, showing the fast-moving nature of lines.
- **Tennis Play: Mensik Over** [19:54] — He includes a tennis play on Jacob Mensik over, citing Pinnacle as the sharpest book for tennis with the over heavily favored.
- **Dabble Value and Ban** [20:25] — He praises Dabble for offering unique markets like DeAndre Swift to not score a touchdown, but reveals he got banned from the platform.

### Conclusion

The stream demonstrates a practical approach to sports betting, focusing on value, line shopping, and platform-specific promotions, while acknowledging the challenges of line movements and platform restrictions.

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. 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 the 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 gonna 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's becoming better
and better after California got rid of a 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, I 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 player we're going to go with is Payton Watson. Okay, Pton Watson over 22 and a half points plus assists. Damn, Pton Watson has been cooking recently. Pton 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 Pix, 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 slit, 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 let's see what we can do.
What is the final play? We want to go with Mark Williams over in points or I'd with Mark Williams over in points or 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.5x. Prize picks 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 LASIK. Is Virginia the best state for sports betting? Yes, 100%. Virginia is also a great state. State is 76% female, bro.
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? Yeah. 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
going to win MVP? I don't know. Anyways, let's see what we I don't know. Anyways, let's see what we can do. I got people asking for underdog and I got people asking for DraftKings pick six. So, what was the promo again
pick six. So, what was the promo again on Pick Six? They got 30% NBA boost.
mean, the first player 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 Price Pix 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 sports betterers, you don't give a [ __ ] about making money
is ridiculous. We have Danchenzo, his unders heavily favored. Dante Dvenenzo, Dante Dvenenzo, under five and a half rebounds. That is a high rebound line.
Dante Dvenenzo under five and a half rebounds. Dante Danchenzo 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 and 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 gonna do is I may just absolutely nuke a threeman because three absolutely nuke a threeman because three pick entries are mathematically optimal.
that name correctly, by the way. and just [ __ ] try to nuke some [ __ ] 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 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, "11476." That's what your username reminds me of, 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 book. 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?
You know what I mean? So, six? Bro, we just did pick six. You guys ask 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. Just kidding. I I like Sam Darnold.
Like [snorts] the Commanders had a better season than the Eagles if you think about it, right? We didn't have to take the wear and tear of getting our, take the wear 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 going to
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, Vasalevki, what a stupid last name. Um, but what was I going to say, man? Is um, you know, underdog six pick entries, if you, you know, again, believe me, break down the math on your own and you will see
that's the optimal [ __ ] type. I'm not a Knicks fan. I just went to a Knicks game Knicks fan. I just went to 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]
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 gotta go, go, 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 bump Darnold by one rushing yard and he doesn't rush that much. So like 6 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'm not in a state with sports betting currently, but like plus 180 for Caruso really good. It's a cross market, you know, sharp money tool. It's arbitrage.
So, one of these two bats has to be profitable.
Um, anyways, Alex Caruso over one and a half threes on FanDuel. Underdog's a waste of time. I'm sorry. Look, I would have loved to give you guys an underdog play, but sometimes it doesn't work out like that.
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 picks 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 fears play is ridiculous. I use 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 favorite on Sangun's under is massively favorite 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 steels? 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 Fears 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 most random things in the world you're 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 gnat. Uh, you can only bet the over on Swift touchdown, but he's a telling you through their market, through their prices that like, yo, go under, not score a touchdown. So,
but regardless, there's a [ __ ] ton of value on Dabble. I just got banned on 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.
