[00:02] about, dude, it would be cool to sell because we've been betting on everything since high school, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. And we had an Instagram account, I remember it was Pix MX, something like that in my second year of high school, and I told him, "Hey, dude, I'm getting a
[00:17] Pix Jalas. I'll sign them up, I'll send them a WhatsApp message, dude, and you crown them. We charge them a little bit, we charge them a
[00:40] In short, you were. Also, the tipster's business model is different from that of a bettor, right? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Uh, well, yes, the first few months, obviously, we did well, and word spread, plus there was
[00:52] n't any competition, dude. Spreading fast. It must have been Cristian Rey, Gallito, and me. And the industry has grown in that sense. Yes, yes, I already want to Get out there, dude. Yeah, I've seen you've taken more of a "you" side. This
[01:07] is the last American football season two, dude, it mentally exhausts you, dude. Look, dude, you have 100, 200 if Chivas are going to win or not, dude. If they lose, they're going to beat the [ __ ] out of you. It can
[01:23] be draining, dude. Besides, there's a lot of competition now, and there isn't as much money as before. And we got used to
[01:36] were always going to sell the same amount, dude. Yeah. So, what's the big deal about overselling and underdelivering? I mean, how much research is in those pics? How much, really? I mean, nowadays I imagine there are many who are tipsters, but there's actually
[01:50] sending the pics, right? And it just becomes the public face. Right? How does that work? I don't know anything about this stuff. Look, dude, once, dude, we were just had a methodology he'd discovered five years earlier, but he
[02:05] couldn't use it because his job, after they found out, wouldn't let him. This guy really screwed us over . He told us, "Look, I'm going to give you predictions for a whole week." And that week he nailed it, I
[02:19] mean, he was amazing, he got all 10 right, and he said, "Okay, I'm going to charge you 50,000 pesos for a month." We said, "Oh, yeah, no problem." If it's going to be like this, dude, go for it, there's no limit. " There's no limit." No, well, the guy got lucky
[02:32] one week and won 50 balls, that's it. Yeah, what stresses you out is how unpredictable it is, right? Ultimately, you 're playing with a huge element of chance , aren't you? Yeah, nowadays, well, back when I only had to
[02:46] dedicate myself to that, it was really intense, dude. I mean, I'd spend 4 or 5 hours at night looking for, like, "What are we going to do, dude?" And usually by 8 or 9 in the morning I'd already won, dude. Now, along with my cousin, who
[03:02] helps me, we've more or less figured out how to not get too worked up, dude, just take a bet a day and know more or less that we're going to win, I mean, you know, we found a... well, I do n't want to say a hack, dude,
[03:16] tells you they discovered how to hack the system in this, doesn't exist, dude. And if they do exist, So, where's your gold-plated Ferrari, dude? Uh, but we did discover a trend, well, in basketball and in
[03:32] other reports that usually happen , dude, I mean, seven out of ten times, and it's , I mean, looking for a fix, you mean, like looking for a good deal where you say the odds are in a place where it seems, I mean, it's like that, right?
[03:47] More or less the approach. I think it has to be sporting, I mean, to get a good bet, you have to like it sportingly, I mean, your head has to make sense. Like, "Oh, Real Madrid is better than Getafe because of this," and yeah, I think
[03:59] Getafe because of this," and yeah, I think this is going to happen. Uh, seeing the movement of the line, that's really important, I mean, seeing the... Oh, dude, they're betting on seeing the... Oh, dude, they're betting on the over and the line is going down. Well, it's
[04:12] telling you it's a bait, dude. They want you to keep taking the under. Okay. I don't I don't believe that Vegas Col theory, that Las Vegas fixed it. It's impossible, dude. Whoever sells you that is the biggest
[04:28] load of crap they can pull. Let's get this out of hand . Have you ever heard the famous "Oh, Vegas called" to make them play dumb? Well, I imagine they rigged something. That's what they say, right? That they rigged something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[04:40] But you've heard that famous crap. It's impossible. Look, let's go to the most bet-on league in the world, the NFL. On a Sunday in the NFL. On a Sunday in the NFL, a big NFL Sunday,
[04:54] NFL, a big NFL Sunday, 's nothing. It's absolutely nothing for the
[05:08] NFL, dude. It's five commercials, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the amount, I have no idea how much. Yeah. And if I'm rigging it, well , I've worked for three different sportsbooks
[05:20] , I've worked for three different sportsbooks of three sportsbooks. I've talked about this, I mean, the numbers involved in I've talked about this, I mean, the numbers involved in each
[05:33] league and each event. If you translate that to the United States, where I've often done research, sitting by the betting windows at Winnie the Pooh and listening to
[05:47] what people are betting on a big game, the amount of money involved isn't as much as you'd think. I'd say on a good NFL Sunday, the best NFL Sunday of the season, around $100 million will be bet.
[06:01] Okay. Which is genuinely nothing. I mean, we'd like to have that here. happening, compared to what the NFL generates, it's nothing. We asked Chat GPT what he had to say. How much should you bet on an NFL Sunday?
[06:14] depends a lot on the context. If we're talking generally, individually, the a Sunday, NFL moves hundreds of millions of dollars. More than 100 million dollars are bet on different forms of traditional sports betting.
[06:27] just in the United States. For example, a good game, but in a between 50 and 100 million dollars per Sunday. Yeah, more or less. I'm not that stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. So, yeah, that's compared to what
[06:42] people say about it being rigged, dude, it's not worth it. No, in what world, dude? There's no way, dude. I mean, the NFL makes 100 million dollars in seconds,
[06:54] dude. Probably sells that much in merchandise on a Sunday , dude, no problem. Millions of dollars. I mean, there are player salaries that... Yeah, of course. this [ __ ] is rigged, no, it's not rigged, dude. It's not in their best interest for there to be shady dealings, that
[07:09] rigged, dude. It's not in their best interest for there to be shady dealings, that 's Argentine second division, dude. College. It'll definitely happen in college, dude. Hey, dude, this is my last game. You're going to the NBA. This is
[07:24] literally my last game, and in a year I'm going to be an a year I'm going to be an engineer at Apple, at Google, which paid pretty well, I imagine. In a year I'm going to be an office worker, dude. You're a jerk, we have to
[07:39] dude. Yeah, put in, I'm going to put in 20,000, 50,000. Argentine second division, damn, dude. You earn $1,000 a month, get a warning. These things do happen. Like
[07:54] the NFL saying, "Oh, dude, if Pitbull loses, Las Vegas is going to be screwed." Yeah, no way. Besides, the NFL charges not the casinos, the lines, I mean, The least expensive one
[08:11] you see from Dallas, right? You kind of understand, right? The Dallas men3 you see, there are three platforms in the world that can give it to you, dude. They're two Russian and one English, if I'm not mistaken. Mm, you can't invent your
[08:24] own. Wi can't invent yours. Caesars can't invent yours. Team Mexico can't invent yours . Play D can't invent . Play D can't invent yours. No, they operate under that system, dude.
[08:36] They set it. You can move it according to your To say, "Hey, dude, at my betting house they're already betting a lot, you can move." But the original line comes from three platforms. You, as the
[08:50] you choose individually, whether you like this one for or that one, or in general you commit to one and that's going to be your general line, your starting point. bet a lot, it starts to Move. Yes, they're the famous odds makers. Okay? And you, as a
[09:08] tipster, do you look at different casinos to see how the line is moving and where you're getting the most favorable results? There's this thing called Vegas Insider. Okay. It tells you more or less how
[09:23] the money is coming in and how the lines are moving on the main platforms. That's where I start looking for the trend, the one where I think, "Hey, dude, this is happening in five of them, and the answer was this." Okay, so let's play. Because, look, it's not that they're
[09:36] rigged, but it's an intelligence beyond ours, dude. Yes, it's an intelligence that knows how to sell you, dude. It's not the same if it pays you minus 10 as if it pays you plus 100, dude.
[09:50] A consumer sees the plus 100 and says, "Ah, it pays the same." You already see it as negative, and generally you're losing a penny. So these are trap lines, let's say, I mean, they're intelligent. Dude, they make you want to consume that stuff.
[10:05] How do you see gambling? I mean, do you see it as something recreational, something crazy, something dangerous? I mean, it's dangerous, Roberto. No, it's not a little game, dude. And it scares me a lot, and I've often
[10:17] thought about it, I don't know if I've hurt someone, I don't know if I've gotten someone into trouble , because, look, it is dangerous, gambling is a really ugly vice. Maybe the ugliest, because from there it can lead to
[10:31] everything you've worked for your whole life, dude. Gambling addiction isn't something to brag about, and it worries me that it's not so demonized anymore. When I really demonized, dude. It was really demonized, dude. I
[10:48] mean, you'd see the girls saying, "Oh, that guy gambles," and that's when you'd hear... "Bastards in the living room playing roulette, dude." They've also managed to infiltrate popular culture really well with apps and live
[11:03] streams of games, and this makes it much more accessible and much more accessible and easier to... well, I do agree that it's dangerous. But I think one thing is that it's hard to ask
[11:16] people to be responsible when doing anything like this, and that's what makes it extremely dangerous because sometimes, like what happens on an app, they swipe across a screen. It's easy to lose sight of what you
[11:29] 're really betting on and what's at stake. Like on social media, you can have 100, 200,000 followers, it's just a number, dude. When you see 200,000 people, holy [ __ ], no way, that's two Azteca Stadiums, I mean, you
[11:42] completely lose track of the amount that's being moved. You've already lost that sense of it . You mean followers? No, followers, but like, "Oh man, I have a video with 5,000 comments." Yeah. I think you have to... You have to lose track of
[11:58] it a little if you want to do it consistently. I mean, you have to... Yeah, totally. You have to be some kind of sociopath and read comments. No, nothing, dude. I try not to read. I suddenly fall into my moments of weakness. No,
[12:11] suddenly you see notifications and you see a " [ __ ] you." Yeah.
