I bought the Sunday package and things went the other way. I was then granted an extra day for free by wager talk/Steve and we went 3-1. Thank you for the free day, that’s good business. I will be buying a long term package sooner than later after that experience.

I’m not paying for nothing again unless I hit. You are only supposed to pay again once you hit, otherwise the capper is a god damn conartist hu$tling people out of their hard earned money.
Thanks Merril! Highly anticipated show this morning. I kept refreshing KZread waiting for it to drop. 👍 No, I think it’s the perfect balance of totals angles and player props. It gives us enough to chew on and enough data points to start our digging and deep diving. Keep the format just how it is!

Awesome, 😎 thank you for the feedback! 👍
Once again, when considering these previous matchups in December, let us remember that Darius Garland got injured after these games and didn’t return until the end of January. He had much higher offensive production prior to his injury. And during his hiatus Donovan Mitchell took the lead with offensive production. Since the injury, Darius Garland has not returned to his offensive prowess with the exception of the few games Where Mitchell went out on injury in the late part of the season.

Thanks for the video Steve. Looking forward to some more nice picks. Have you ever thought about opening up a Discord server for your subscribers? I think that would be a very cool addition to the package and would create a thorough community discussion on plays, props, etc.

I did not see any value with OKC props, but I'd lean Over for their top 3 players.
Good stuff steve. Got your 1 pick for okc and a bounce back
Cavaliers under 98.5 team total, under 108.5 first half under Boston vs Cleveland. Okc moneyline and first half over 111.5 okc vs dallas. Great video breakdown. Good luck. Big daddy

@@CarlWinslow346I was on TWolves and pacers. Maybe u should follow me instead lol
I'll have first hand experience of the Thunder game tonight. I'll make my predictions afterwards. I took Bos 211.5 Over. Getting close
I'll also point out that one Celtics loss to Cleveland was an ultra bad spot for the Celtics, a massive sandwich. I had Cleveland +9 in that one because the Celtics were off that monumental nearly 60 point ridiculous blowout of the Warriors and had Denver up in 2 days. I'm surprised they were focused enough to build a huge lead in the game in a spot like that. I'm on Dallas +3.5 tonight because of experience plus I think OKC hasn't been tested yet and the long layoff may become a bit of rust. Good luck and thanks for all the great content as always!

In case y’all didn’t know , paying someone to gamble your money away is a losing strategy. If you’re gonna lose your money at least make you’re own picks.

Hate props .. already let over and unders slide but as a big straight bettor .. well not big but $550 to 1600 a game .. I like sides .. you’ll get a good audience on props probably bc it’s a lot of young people and small wager people betting these days but yeah ima miss your opinions on the sides if you start going props but God bless you and good luck tonight if your betting Steve !
Steve bad call on Josh Hart under last night. Hard to take anybody under against a team that plays ZERO defense in front of the 3pt line.
