    The Packers livestream isn't terrible since PFT is there doing his "Packers Owner" shtick.

    Yeah, I have seen gambling people on twitter talk about how his play of the day or "whale pick" or whatever, is like some outrageous favorite ML bet. Just saying he's got like 25 units on X team at -550 or something.

    He got "famous" for hitting a few futures bets 3-4 years ago iirc but it's very likely he did that by betting on a bunch of teams or just stupid luck. His futures bets on the show (2018 NFL season) were the Falcons then Steelers then Chargers.

    I forgot what the series was on Showtime but it was really good. It was a 4 part series following around a few pro gamblers. Vegas Dave got stupid lucky with a few futures bets (Kansas City Royals to win the WS, Holly Holm to knock out Rousey I think it was) that sent him off into what he is today. He had a huge Vegas penthouse but chose to stay at his parent’s house. It was really an odd vibe.

    There was another pro gambler there that makes his living off only betting. He bets tons on the NFL and said he couldn’t name more than 5 players in the league. He just likes math, lines, and numbers. What? Haha.

    I believe the series was called "Action". As far as your last part, I think there are a lot of pros out there that are strictly numbers, and barely even watch the games. If you can somehow find an algorithm with a proven success rate, I think you blindly ride that thing until you can't. I guess that's why they are pros, and I am not haha

    She is much more mad at Big Cat walking through the steam every time SF scores in 49ers gear.

    I’m not a big Stu guy, but the difference in a nineties version is that there wasn’t the whole instagram/twitter impact. Even Stu had to have some substance.

    “Jeopardy James” missed a pretty easy sports question I thought during GOAT jeopardy that most people on this board would be able to answer. Can’t remember it exactly now and don’t think he missed but basically chose not to answer on one that felt pretty easy to me. Might have been the northwestern colors.

    That’s not that easy, though. I think black and white are official FSU colors (in addition to Garnet and Gold). Ours are Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue, which is different than “red and blue.”

    answer was garnet and gold and it was pretty apparent.

    The question was "This birthstone is in abrasives for polishing and grinding. The color pairs with gold as an official one for Florida State."

    hard to know what to think, PMT does a FANTASTIC job of making almost anyone sound likeable. Perhaps a lot of what Bauer does is a shtick, but it seems to happen too often in the heat of the moment to be "just trolling".

    I didn't like it. He declined to talk shit about the Astros, when he was all about it on Twitter. Drone talk is terrible. Declining to name his 23 pitches or whatever was terrible. His other nerd comments were lame. I don't think they got what they hoped for in that one.

    In like 30 seconds of research, he commented on their instagram post concerning his beef with Koepka over abs/trophies that "7 tour wins isn't terrible for 3 years ... Thanks for short changing me... Going to be tough to get me back on the pod."

    Thats the catch22 of the barstool success. When you start to actually build relationships with stars you either need to coddle them or keep things authentic and risk burning those relationships

    It’s a fine line bigcat navigates really well

    The NLRB made Barstool remove a handful of tweets, post something on their office bulletin board, and take down an obvious parody twitter account.
