orkeling attempts were cut short yeah so shout out to this shout out to this the Deep dive team they win again scuba's uh scuba team for the win and uh kind of ironic if you look at the board I mean it does seem like a couple of the chalkier plays out to a good start here in these first couple of days I mean to me the biggest story right now is the amateur uh who is just Bennett who is just hanging up there in the leaderboard there was a bit of a weather delay but uh I mean the the amateur being
that high has to be the biggest story right now right I mean I hope he's not high high because he's got a hell of a weekend ahead of him Sean I gotta gotta think like we all know Brooks obviously huge dick really upset with the golf Community for talking me off I'm so mad I was I had the 100 to one ready to go and I'm like oh I'll keep her ticket taken down by my love of Paper Tickets because I get out here at 35-1 and I go oh I'm too that's not enough for me a 35-1 shot no good for old Sean gr
een so I go oh the value's gone I'm not gonna take it sorry that's the value please oh and here he is joining us on the sports gambling podcast the one and only Derek Stevens what's happening Derek hey what's happened to Bella it's good to see you out here how how nice is this weather beautiful sunshine the clouds just passed on it's going to be with 75 and sunny here now we're in business oh we are we are certainly in business and uh talking to you yesterday I think the big story at least for y
ou guys is how interested people are in golf betting like talk about talk about the excitement and just talk about the volume and energy surrounding the Masters it's been unbelievable I mean the handle this year is already blown away all records uh you know the way it's played out it's it's not just who's gonna win The Masters but it's also what top 10 finish dishes and she's going to make the cut and then the individual matchups I mean they've been betting everything so it's it's a it's been pr
etty awesome this is going to turn into I I could feel it this is going to turn into the next level where year after year after year Masters doesn't become more of a thing in Vegas well and and I'm glad we're here for this Masters because I want to [Music] gambling world this could turn into like the next Super Bowl uh of sports medicine it's it's more it's literally Masters Madness yes you can just use the same name Masters Madness we don't have the buzzer beaters but you do have the sweet putt
s and you're talking about the match-up parlays I know uh we got a couple match-up parlays cooking so look out for that I might take you down here but who are obviously I would imagine Tiger Woods winning is a is not an ideal result for the books but any other any other golfers you're worried about this weekend Derek yeah I mean I mean the two biggest liabilities by by uh by dollars are Tiger Woods uh but you know that's not something we were all that worried about just because of his injuries a
nd whatnot yeah but I mean there's a certain element with Tiger Woods being being the greatest if people are going to make a bat there's a lot of people are going to throw 20 bucks down yeah God forbid tiger wins and you did you did it back you know so there's a certain element where it's going to come out and with those odds you know every twenty dollars like it adds up next thing you know the house is down three million yeah you know so so look out now what about these I would tell you I would
tell you the next one though the one that's actually in play now which we're all kind of stunned out it's a seven figure loss on Bennett right now he's uh he's uh under um by 80s talk about I mean think about this too he might not have to play till Sunday the the energy that he's thinking about 23 years old two best two rounds of his life and yeah I mean there's no way we got to fade him on the weekend though right yeah I would say so but I think a lot of people came in last night they said the
y're gonna fade him for round two and he's stung it today yeah I mean that's it's it's one thing to have that good first round and and just kind of not overthink it but to to come back and have an awesome round two that to me is that's where it's shocking and that's where you get a little nervous I mean what did he open up for you guys was he like 500 to 1 000 to one he had been pretty crazy odds right it had to be something like that yeah I don't know what the number was based on the figures it
's got to be a thousand of one and you know one thing for us is we we really didn't we did not pool all seven amateurs a lot of places oh yeah it's like they just said guys more like a field bat of amateurs Yeah we actually put everybody every one of them out there and uh oh I know Derek I bet on Gordon Sergeant oh yeah he was the he was the one all the sharp golf guys were like yeah oh Sergeant's your amateurs Sergeant's the guy you got to get down on and uh that was a little bit of a disaster
but it obviously was the one and it it ends up being a great story uh you know he's playing kind of for his dad and uh yeah we'll see if it continues on the weekend obviously that's going to be uh going to be a huge story line what about like what's the what's the next big event out here in Circa I imagine uh the draft isn't out in Las Vegas but I imagine it's still still gonna be pretty big petting wise right yeah it should be pretty big betting wise uh but really the big thing I'd say for Vega
s now is we're all kind of ramping up not for a single day or a single event but we really think that this year's NBA playoffs are going to be something something special and we think obviously with the way the golden knights are playing yeah and you know this game they just had against the Kings I mean he could say there's a little bit a little bit of energy I saw circus Sports on the uniforms over there for the Vegas night [ __ ] shot that's awesome yeah so we think there's going to be a heck
of a run in NBA playoffs and uh and NHL playoffs this year so what about us hold on I have a question because I didn't hear you say anything about laminating the NFL schedule when it comes out that has to be yeah no tickets Derek people want to watch that schedule being made yeah we gotta we'll get that out as soon as we uh as soon as we see the NFL scores playing in the circus Survivor Mass right that we start coming out with uh with the Circa billion circus Survivor we start opening it up and
then we're offering to Running Oh yeah let's go Derek I would love to know like uh for the NBA playoffs it seems like a pretty wide open year at least compared to most years I mean you know like the kings are up there but No One Believes In them the Lakers have been floating around hanging around the Warriors maybe playing possum a little bit in the regular season what uh what is the what does the market say for these conference futures or playoff futures for the NBA uh you you actually nailed t
he number one team that I think's not getting much respect to Sacramento yeah nobody nobody really Sacramento might go into a first round first round as a dog in the series you know it's crazy um there's been a lot of love recently with this with the Phoenix Suns after the Durant trade yeah you're always going to get some Warrior money coming in and obviously in Vegas Vegas is a bit of a Laker town so you've got that Laker money coming in on the East that's more of a little bit more of a mixed b
ag I would say but uh but it's certainly the West is where we're a huge amount of interest is uh is gonna fall yeah no in the East too it's I guess it's top heavy with like Philly Boston Milwaukee but the the West is um yeah [Music] [Laughter] graver's the Knicks guys so he's open always hoping they're gonna turn things I just want the glory years of the 90s to come back for me uh what about uh what about local teams for you Michigan uh what are you what are you looking forward to as a Michigan
guy well as a Michigan guy I'm upset about this NBA lottery the Detroit Pistons earned the number one this year we need that big seven foot three guy to go in jail with Jade Knight ivy with Cunningham all that whatever hell of a team but they're probably going to lose a ladder no well that's how it works they you know it's controlled David CERN about freezing the Red Envelope then then you guys will be good to go I mean weapon Yama that's the other thing I would say maybe add it onto your radar
because I think with web and Yama assuming he plays in the summer league I feel like that's gonna be a pretty exciting event for Vegas coming up yeah NBA Summer League that's something that's actually grown year over year it's a it's a pretty good uh pretty good 10-day run um it's a little front loaded when when uh but uh but yeah that's been a great new addition and then uh really what we're gonna what we're gonna see we do pretty well with uh with uh major league baseball home run derby All-St
ar game that you know then you got NBA you got the uh you got the uh summer league and then boom you're right into it all right let's go yes I can't wait to start betting a preseason football getting into it well before we let you go Derek I know your busy guy gotta hit up some meetings but football NFL 2023 what's uh one surprise team that's already kind of on your radar I know it's early but who should people look out for for 2023. you know I I at this point in time of the year I Really Wanna
I really like to think about who's going to win the draft who's going to write all the Articles hey on the Monday after the draft and who won the draft because that's gonna actually that sets the tone for the rest of the season now I think I think in some ways it's a little bit easy to predict who's gonna win this draft I think Seattle is going to win the draft I think the Detroit Lions are going to win their Lions man but Lions right you know I think I think I think the Dolphins are going to lo
se the draft I mean it just comes down to who's got the picks where do they all stack up and and who's made these free agent free agency moves so um I think Seattle Seattle the lions are the two teams to look for um obviously San Francisco is good the 49ers will be a great team in the NFC yeah and in the AFC you know everybody was really down on the Chiefs last year but yeah we were we were doing a early like look at the win totals and you know the Chiefs at 11 and a half it's like how do you ge
t them to six losses I I don't see it like they every year even without Tyreek Hill they figure it out and I think I think the Chiefs could be a team that surprises people with a big maybe DeAndre Hopkins maybe someone in the draft I still think they could uh do something big in uh the receiver Mark yeah it could be and you know this year this year one thing on the window supported poor to pay attention to this is an AFC extra home game yeah so you got nine at home for all afcs and and I do thin
k that makes a pretty big difference I mean be careful laying that uh 11 and a half for Kansas City with that kind of nugget because boy look out here they go three Square oh well awesome Derek appreciate you coming on appreciate all the hospitality make sure you come out here Stadium swim Circa Las Vegas the premiere uh Sports and real quick I did want to let Derek know before the security incident report lands on your desk it was me who tried to bring a snorkel into the pool my bad so we have

'm here I gotta do the Fremont experience I need to walk down there at night and see everything see the lights see some I mean you'll you'll also fun fact I once did the Fremont experience with my grandmother and the visual of her just standing staring at these like quadruple G tits with something I can never unsee so yeah they have these show girls that want you to uh take a photo with them and you pay them 10 bucks or whatever I mean they're going I think pretty much 24 7 because I met my fath
er-in-law went to a restaurant called Bacon Nation at like 9 00 a.m and they were hounding me to get a get a photo of them so I don't think there's any off switch uh for the Fremont Street Experience that's pretty fun and if they do have a um what is it called where you're you're a Ziploc they do have a zip line if you really want you guys want to say the wife did suggest we go ziplining that would be a pretty great visual zip lining the Fremont uh Fremont experience I don't know if that's gonna
happen are there not weight limits yeah I mean I don't know if moonoff's tall enough to ride but I might be a little too big to ride the win Paul you gotta understand it's Vegas they'll figure it out well and and uh it is great meeting Paul in person because for uh sgpn we're always trying to round out our football team when it comes to like what positions and seeing Paul and like all right we got our we got our offensive tackle ready to go right tackle left tackle we got Joe Theisman uh backed
up by Stone labanowitz we got uh Mike Leach God Rest his soul coaching us for America yeah third string tight end we'll get crack as the starter we're putting together quite a uh quite a good squad here Paul before we uh let you go uh you were hanging out in the Cabana when we were doing our 2023 like early way too early no research just gut reaction uh to the win totals is there a win total that you've already thought about or or a team are looking to fade or ride for the 2023 NFL season I kno
w you're a big bears guy but anything jump out from a betting perspective early here in the football season no I haven't looked at any totals uh I think the NFC North is going to be kind of a mess if Rogers leaves you don't have one dominant quarter wreck with golf Kirk yeah I don't I think it's going to be kind of a disaster there one of those spots where a winner of a division probably shouldn't go to the playoffs oh I like he's setting up the Bears winning the division at eight and nine I lik
e that yeah I I could be in on that too Sean I think that's maybe the gimmick this year yeah Bears win the north at eight and nine I mean again it really it really can go any way in just talking to Derek about the Lions I'm I didn't want to burst this bubble I'm not quite as high on the lines I I think they are primed for some regression but the NFC North is wide wide don't lie Sean you tried to sell him some real estate on Jared Goff sucks Island he told you to [ __ ] up I I mean I know Derek l
oves the lines but I think even he he's not I haven't seen Derek rocket a Jared Goff Jersey around uh around Circle we'll see maybe he is all in on uh on Jared Goff well awesome having you here Paul yeah again for uh winning the contest give uh Paul a follow on Twitter at Paulie poodle check him out before you go Paul who's winning the Masters who's winning the Masters who's winning the Masters uh currently Brooks and it's not pretty um let's go hobbling he's got a hobbling outright let's make t
