00:00Now, let's take a look at this.

00:04Look at the FanDuel Sportsbook on the odds market here.

00:07This is how you know where nobody knows nothing, as we like to say.

00:11Why?

00:12Duke, 12-1.

00:13UConn, 12-1.

00:14Alabama, 12-1.

00:15Houston, 12-1.

00:16Gonzaga, 12-1.

00:17Kansas, 12-1.

00:18Auburn, 12-1.

00:19I don't know if I've ever seen that before.

00:23You want to talk about a toss-up, Dubsy, you're getting it right now, college basketball.

00:27It feels like they're in the odds room, the risk room, the odds makers were saying, you

00:31know, before we finalize this thing, let's go get a copy.

00:34And someone has just posted it, but real talk, you know, there's so much parody, we're still

00:38trying to decipher who are contenders, pretenders, and this board tells us all we need to know.

00:43I mean, there's plenty of experience.

00:46Championship winning programs, you know, for the Blue Devils, still sitting there as one

00:50of the shortest prizes like that.

00:51The Zags at 12-1, they've looked fantastic at the early part.

00:55And Kentucky, the Wildcats hasn't even moved after that monster win last night.

01:01So early days, and if you've got a strong opinion, Donnie, I think now's the time to

01:04maybe go after if you're still getting that big prize, because these numbers are going

01:08to be very agile, very volatile as we move through the next couple of weeks.

01:12No, you're right about it.

01:13And for me, like, again, last night I was involved, and I was batting and trying to

01:17handicap those games, but it's hard to say, okay, how did Cooper Flagg do against Maine?

01:21How did so-and-so do against, you know, a directional school?

01:24Once you start to level up in competition on that neutral court, it does get tougher.

01:28But also keep in mind, neutral courts come at the end of the season when you're going

01:32through the conference tournament.

01:33They're usually played at a neutral site as well, obviously, as March Madness itself.

01:37It's hard for me to digress of which team is the best, but you're right.

01:40If you have a good feel on some of these teams, these numbers are going to go markedly lower.

01:44If Duke rips off 10 straight victories, I guarantee you right now, Dubzy, they're not

01:47at a 12-1 prize.

01:48They're probably looking at more of a 6-1 prize or 5-1 prize before they get into conference

01:53play.

01:54So, let's talk about your playout and learn the names of all the athletes, Dubzy.

01:56How do you handle, I call it the silly season.

01:59You get a lot of these crazy games, crazy matchups in the Bahamas and Hawaii and in

02:04smaller gyms and ballrooms here that they make look like an NBA slash NCAA arena.

02:09How do you handle the early batting?

02:10I find it tough.

02:11You've got to factor that in, Tony.

02:13These are, you know, they're not kids, but they're young athletes with not a lot of experience,

02:17especially playing out of their environment or out of their familiar settings.

02:21I mean, some of these setups, there's not even, you know, a grandstand behind the rim.

02:26For me, it'd be very off-settling.

02:27So, look towards the kids who have done it all before the big programs.

02:31They're coming back again.
