[00:01] Because if we go ahead and we make a two-man with this and we pair it with doesn't matter if we go over or under for here and we have a $100 down, we walk away with $350, which is $250 in profit. But if you did like 10 seconds

[00:15] Stefan Castle over 1.5 threes on FanDuel, No Vig, and ProfitX at +126, FanDuel, No Vig, and ProfitX at +126, +122, +117. So right around +120. And then you see we can grab Maxey over 26.5 and we can get that on either FanDuel or

[00:30] No Vig at right at -120. So if you went ahead and you played this on FanDuel or available in your state, you would get +311 odds and you'd walk away with $311 in profit, which is $60 for the same exact play, aka 20% more profit just for

[00:47] this play. So go ahead, take Castle's over for this, but just do it on a different book if you're playing it as a two-man.
