The Numbers told the story, they always do.

Zach Cohen (0:03)

It's one of those idiots who believe in analytics.

Gill Alexander (0:05)

This is a Numbers Game with Gill Alexander on VSiN. Good Thursday morning to you. It is a Numbers Game at VSiN, the eSports betting network, vsin.com game plus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, and of course, SiriusXM Channel 189, Gill Alexander, Kelley Bydlon. Yeah. Football, football, football.

Kelley Bydlon (0:23)

That's right, it's back, baby.

Gill Alexander (0:25)

This becomes a whole different gig when football's happening. You walk in with a little pep in your step.

Kelley Bydlon (0:30)

Told that to young Maxwell yesterday.

Gill Alexander (0:32)

The show writes itself.

Kelley Bydlon (0:34)

Very different once football season starts.

Gill Alexander (0:37)

Sure is. Niners Rams tonight. We'll talk about the Seahawks and Patriots last night. Obviously, at the top here, Zach Cohen will join us. See if he has any US open semi plays today on the ladies side. College football, NFL with him. Mike Reardon from Right Angle Sports.

They got off the Schneid last week. Remember, they lost on FSU Week 1 with a live release here on a show.

Then last week, easy peasy total over on the Indiana game. So there we go, Mike. Let's make a streak out of this. Is two a streak? Two is on your way to a streak. Let's see what happens later. He will have a live release here on the show. Remember, the process here is the Right Angle Sports process, which is they will give you a rotation number. They will tell you to put it in the bet slip. And then it's either going to be a go or a cancel. We have not had a cancel yet this year.

Kelley Bydlon (1:24)

We have not had a cancel yet this year.

Gill Alexander (1:27)

And we are going to do this earlier in the segment so that we don't tell. We don't give a tell here.

And then a little later on, by the way, unscripted with the Crack Man Bill Krakenberger, but Bill is not here, so we're going to do a little truncated version. I know, I know, everybody relax. He's not in town. So we will have Bill on the show, but it'll be just for a couple of segments. And then how about Elihu Feustel on the show as a bit of a replacement for one of those segments? Elihu Feustel, who, for my money, is the person not in the Sports Gambling Hall of Fame that should be.

He was, he was Simon Noble at Pinnacle back in the day, used to ghost write as Simon Noble, where I was reared on Pinnacle newsletters in the 90s. He was just in seven in the SBR forums for so many years. He's an author of several books, one of which I was reared on Conquering Risk back in the day. He was on last year or the year before, I can't remember. He was on last year with his new book. Ella Who Wants to Talk NFL Teasers.

Kelley Bydlon (2:29)

Love it.

Gill Alexander (2:30)

And when Ella Who Talks NFL Teasers, it's not your average NFL teaser discussion.

It's going to be to get out the pen. What do people do now? Pencil and paper? Sure. Have a number two pencil in a row with an eraser.

Zach Cohen (2:43)

And note cards. That's right.

Kelley Bydlon (2:44)

Find some note cards.

Gill Alexander (2:45)

It's going to be good.

Kelley Bydlon (2:46)

Yeah, Ella Who was, I was texting with him yesterday, can't wait to have him on. I had to kind of apologize. Not only did I miss, missed him at his BetBash panel because there were so many going on at the same time. It's just impossible to get to all of them. Right. But then I was rushing out one day from BetBash and old Bobby Geddes, who we love to death, but grabbed me real quick to say hi. And I'm kind of doing like the half run out. I didn't realize he was standing there talking to Ella Who. And I kind of like put it together right when I was leaving. I was like, that was definitely Ella Who Foistel. And I just like kind of blew him off.

So I had to text him yesterday. I was like, hey, by the way, sorry about that quick thing at BetBash.

Gill Alexander (3:21)

And oh, no surprise, Fezzik got into it with him on Twitter.

Kelley Bydlon (3:24)

Shagr.

Zach Cohen (3:26)

You know what?

Kelley Bydlon (3:26)

We might have multiple guests that want to address that today because I think Michael Reardon has something to say about that as well.
