The numbers told the story, they always do. Swando's idiots who believe in analytics.

This is a numbers game with Gill Alexander on VSiN. Our number two of a numbers game at VSiN, eSports betting network, vsin.com, GamePlus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, and of course, SiriusXM Channel 158 It's Gill Alexander. Kelley's behind the glass because we have a guest here in studio momentarily. Let me read some tweets. Best listeners ever, you guys.
Shrek says he wants to bet Tat.
Tiago Agustin-Tirante, 80-1 to win the US Open. Yeah, don't do that. Uncle Bush, Zach Coten morphing into Chris Berman at the end of the segment with the Bills-Niners Super Bowl matchup. No one circles the wagon like the Buffalo Bills. Chris Heath, I have $100 on the Giants' worst team record at 25-1 and $400 on the A's worst at plus 6-50. Oh man, you are set up nicely. What could go wrong? I'll tell you what could go wrong. The Colorado Rockies could still go wrong. TDG, did I just hear Gill say he regrets picking his beloved commies? Nah, couldn't be. Yeah, I do. Jason McKinney, do you think the owner of the Niners, Lawyers, will be able to use the substation in his defense? Actually, you know what? You might as well at this point. It's the substation. I didn't know what I was doing. Billy Charlebois, maybe I'm giving the Browns too much credit, but starting Watson ups the tolerance for Sanders when the inevitable switch is made. This is what I've been saying the whole time, Billy. He says, they went Sanders to Watson, people would really get mad. It's better to fail with youth and looking like they care. I've said that exact same thing maybe five times this summer on the show. When we talk about the Browns, it's the only way to play that.
Jared Still will end with this one. I'm curious as an old-timerist, does Kelley believe Wilt actually scored 100? It's a good question. I'll have to ask him when he's back in this chair. Because right now in his chair, it is Circa's inaugural Booby Prize winner back in 2020 People don't like when I introduce him with that because it seems to indicate to them that he's not good at what he's doing, but he won $100,000 and he knew exactly what he was doing. It's Michael Montesano in studio. You can follow him on Twitter at Betsandreps, and you will see by his arms why he's Betsandreps. How are you doing, man? Back from the gym?

**Michael Montesano** (2:06)
I saw Danny earlier today this morning, and this first thing he asked me is, do you come back from the gym? I said, it was one of those times. Do I go before? Do I go after? Oh, yeah. I got to do some signing up today. So I think after I do all the sign ups, I'll probably hit the gym before the little festivities for contest weekend.

**Gill Alexander** (2:21)
You and Will Hill, Steel Cage match.

**Michael Montesano** (2:23)
Will is a lot bigger than I am. I look at Will. He looks like he's a power lifter. He looks great.

**Gill Alexander** (2:31)
Okay, let's start with what we'll get to, because you have a bunch of college football futures. You have an NFL season long for us as well. But you did win Circa Booby Prize 2020 The first one won $100,000.
The race to the bottom, you made the choice to do that. All these years later now, how many entries are you signing? I assume you're in town to sign up. What are you doing this year?

**Michael Montesano** (2:52)
So when they did the Survivor a few years back, I'd always have a couple entries. I didn't do it last year. It was just some, it was a mindset with me. I just, I like the opportunity of each week, five picks. And if you fall behind, you still have a chance at the quarterly, you have a chance at the booby prize. But I didn't do it last year. I'm still deciding. I have a couple hours before I sign up if I'm gonna do the Survivor, but I'm gonna head it. Then I'm gonna head over to the Westgate, do the college contest.
Last year, I was top 50, didn't place, they only placed top 10

**Gill Alexander** (3:22)
What is that? Explain that contest. Is that season wins?

**Michael Montesano** (3:25)
That is the Westgate is the seven, it's just straight college football.

**Gill Alexander** (3:29)
Oh, gotcha. Yep, yep.

**Michael Montesano** (3:30)
Seven picks per week.

**Gill Alexander** (3:31)
Okay.

**Michael Montesano** (3:33)
14 weeks, I believe. It starts with week one, not week zero. And yeah, I mean, last year I did well, but not good enough to place. I know Felika was top five or six or whatever.
