**Steve Fezzik** (0:01)
The numbers told the story, they always do.

**Gill Alexander** (0:03)
Swando's idiots who believe in analytics.

**Steve Fezzik** (0:05)
This is a numbers game with Gill Alexander on VSiN.

**Gill Alexander** (0:08)
Our number three of a numbers game at VSiN, esportsbettingnetworkvisi.com, GamePlus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, SiriusXM Channel 158 It's Gill Alexander flying, well, not exactly solo, because we have guests in the studio, but Kelley will be back on Monday. For those missing Kelley, he will be back in his chair on Monday. Thanks to Matt Brown for being on a couple times this week as well.
I had a great time with Matt on Monday and Wednesday. We get TweetSpeed of the book. I couldn't agree more, Mako. This is at Shades of Mako. Wow.
The Tony Farmer segments on with Gill today were amazing content, fascinating stories from the NFL that most aren't talking about. Not only fascinating stories, but I love his Survivor spreadsheets as well that he brought in. Tim Bowers, following Tony's segment, it makes so much sense why the Eagles love them some Dom. Yes, I hate, oh God, I was so over. Kevin Burkhardt, hyping up Dom, that one broadcast, like enough with Dom, who cares about Dom? But maybe he's one of the Eagles' guys, if you know what I mean. And then No Emu Doug, oh this is a great transition to the fest, and No Emu Doug. Thanks for bringing in the people who actually like swimming in the mathematical minutiae such as yourself. I don't understand anything that Fezik explains, but I like his segments. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Fezik Fridays.

**Gill Alexander** (1:24)
Let's go, whether it's at the sportsbook or anywhere else in the casino, he's always helping us find an edge. It's time for Fezik Fridays.

**Gill Alexander** (1:33)
Starring the only back to back winner of the Hilton Super Contest, Steve Fezik. You can follow him on Twitter at Fezik Sports at your own peril. Stevie, let's just get it out of the way. You're coloring your hair again.

**Steve Fezzik** (1:45)
Allegedly.

**Gill Alexander** (1:48)
Why are we doing this? This is rule number one for men. Don't ever color your hair.

**Steve Fezzik** (1:53)
No, rule number zero is do whatever your wife tells you to do. And that trumps rule number one.

**Gill Alexander** (1:59)
Is that what's happening? You know, but you know what? She's she's mistaken on this.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:03)
I don't disagree. Hey, a little controversy, not controversy, but concerning I'm Elahou Feistel, smartest guy in the industry.

**Gill Alexander** (2:11)
Yeah. What do you what do you go after Elahou for?

**Steve Fezzik** (2:14)
I he's he's he's it's almost like my cousin Vinny, where he's like a lion. We're having a disagreement about a probability distribution function.

**Gill Alexander** (2:23)
Yeah.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:24)
And I just don't I don't understand it. It's like he says and he says, Steve, read my book and it'll be obvious.

**Gill Alexander** (2:29)
Yes, you should read his book.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:30)
Go back and read his book. It's not obvious at all.

**Gill Alexander** (2:33)
Elahou Feistel, Elahou Feistel, by the way.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:35)
Right.

**Gill Alexander** (2:36)
F-E-U-S-T-E-L. I always say there shouldn't be a sports gambling. I said this about Barry Lamar Bonds, of course, in baseball. But I will say this about Elahou shouldn't be a sports betting or sports gambling hall of fame without him in it. And because he's helped so many people over the years.

**Steve Fezzik** (2:49)
In the crux of the issue, Michael Fiddle posted something Fiddles at Fiddles Picks is fantastic. And he got one point of he beat the closing number in the WNBA total by one point. And he was unhappy with me because he's like, Steve, you know, I always beat the total by more than one or most of the time, but I only beat it by one. So he has this tiny microscopic edge. And we're saying if a total lands is right on the number 2.4 percent of the time, it's a break even bet of 52.4 percent. It's clear cut the math. It's like, it's like 15 minute grits. You cook at 15 minutes, the grits are ready and 52.4 percent. And now Elahouz like, no, you're wrong. You have to, you have a positive expectation at times. Read my book and I read his book and I still don't understand what he's talking about. So I will get back to everyone on that.

**Gill Alexander** (3:36)
Well, how could I put this? I think this goes back to David Gluck in chess. Glick. Glick. Is it pronounced Glick?

**Steve Fezzik** (3:43)
Yeah. So David Glick, I grew up in Ohio. I went to Walnut Hills High School and my junior year, I played him in the state championship. And in the first round, he was the one seed. I was the eight seed. I had to play in the first round and I almost won. I was, in fact, to this day, he says to me, Steve, if you play Queen e6 here, I don't know what I'm going to do. I never even saw the move, but we drew it. We tied.
