**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
The Numbers told the story, they always do.

**Mike Montesano** (0:02)
One of those idiots who believe in analytics.

**Drew Dinsick** (0:05)
This is a Numbers Game with Gill Alexander on VSiN.

**Gill Alexander** (0:09)
Our number two of a Numbers Game at VSiN, the eSports betting network, vsin.com, Game Plus, iHeart Radio, YouTube TV, and of course, SiriusXM Channel 158 It's Gill Alexander, Kelley Bydlon's in Vegas. I'm in San Francisco. You good there, man?

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:23)
I'm great, not as good as you. It's gorgeous behind you, man. Finally, we got a clear day in San Francisco. Show off our fancy view years, you know?

**Gill Alexander** (0:31)
Yes, it's just not clear in the mornings every day, June and July. It's June gloom. And then I heard the other day, somebody said, no sky July was their comment about July, which I thought was pretty cool. But whenever we do something like this, which is rarely ever, but this is the first time we've done like extended weeks in San Francisco. So you get like everybody's opinion on this kind of stuff and just give you two consecutive tweets, just to let you know how it's never consistent. No Emu Doug. I'm kind of grooving on the ocean background. Is there any way to keep Gill in his Bay area happy place? Let Kelley work from a beach house somewhere.
And then the numbers guys comes back with, is this going to be a recurring thing? You in San Francisco, I don't know why I like you better in Vegas. I think it's the notion that Vegas is the Mecca and you're the Vegas statistics and information network. I would be sad if there was a rebrand moving. No, this is, this is my final week in San Francisco, headed back to Vegas.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:25)
You mean the San Francisco Sports and Information Network just doesn't hit the same? I guess that makes sense.

**Gill Alexander** (1:31)
Do you ever hear anybody call the Vegas statistics and information?

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:34)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Gill Alexander** (1:35)
Yeah, okay.
Archie Green, I don't believe the Cleveland Browns will be some great team this year, but I also think people are giving Kevin Stefanski way too much credit. The world is about to see that he is awful. There you go. Okay.
Patrick Kelly says, FYI numbers moving on LeBron's next team. Again? Yeah. Who to this time?

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:54)
I don't know. Well, we'll see if it's moved in a few hours. I did look at it this morning and it was heat like even money almost plus 108 I think I saw this morning. Hmm.

**Gill Alexander** (2:05)
Chance Copperpot. I missed this first few segments. So apologies that this was already said as an obnoxious audio snob. I would like to thank whomever is responsible for Gill's improved quality of sound from the Bay Area. Wasn't the quality of sound here. All was awesome from the beginning, Kelly, I believe.

**Drew Dinsick** (2:20)
Yeah, it's been great.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:22)
Chance is too busy, man. You see, he's too big time these days. He's all over Twitter. He's fighting with people. You know, he's got doesn't have the same time he has. He used to have to.

**Gill Alexander** (2:31)
He's in Wishnev's Discord starting up stuff. I know.
And then betting X factors wants to follow up with his proxy question, and we'll leave it at this. But he goes, how would you handle someone placing the wrong bet for you? And it wins. Well, I would give him a good bet on the back.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:47)
That's exactly right. Updated LeBron James, next team odds using sports fan mode over at Koushi, Miami, plus one fifty two Cleveland, plus one fifty eight Golden State, plus five seventy three Philadelphia, plus six eighty four. So I guess more Cleveland steam again today. I don't know.

**Gill Alexander** (3:06)
I wasn't going to start with this with Drew, but I figure it's the good segue. Drew Dinsick joins us now courtesy of Progressive Guestline at Whale Underscore Capper, host of the Deep Dive Podcast, which he does with Andy Bolitor. And of course, NBC Sports, Bet the Edge, which he does with Jay Croucher. Drew, good morning. Do you care where LeBron goes at this point?

**Drew Dinsick** (3:26)
I do, only because of sports fan mode at Koushi, which has $180 million dollars matched on this stupid. What, what, what are we doing? What are we doing here, people? Holy smokes.
Yeah.

**Gill Alexander** (3:44)
Are you, are you part of that volume?

**Drew Dinsick** (3:47)
No, I never got the, never got the goods. The only cloak and dagger guy I know had did, he did have Miami when they were like around 13%. And then as soon as it like went nuclear, it jumped to 47 I was like, wait, is that, is this, is it over? Is it done? And he's like, I didn't cure, you know, he was basically just speculating when he got in at 13 cents. So I don't think that anyone really knows. And you know what? I also think it's not going to matter for next year's NBA championship. This is a long, long, long protracted, you know, kind of situation for something that ultimately is not going to move the needle much at all.
