This is Follow The Money with Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard on VSiN.

**Pauly Howard** (0:10)
Here we go, welcome in. It is Follow The Money on VSiN, Vsports, Betty Network, Mitch Moss, along with Pauly Howard. Good Wednesday afternoon, we are live in downtown Vegas from the Circa Resort and Casino. Three-hour banger lined up today, Jeff Sealey on the program, Best Bets Windham Championship. He could not make the program last week due to travel. He did nail Jackson Coyvon two weeks ago at the 3M. We'll see if he is back on the horse this week with the young stud at the Windham Championships. Mike Palm in studio in an hour and 15 minutes. You told me a story. I don't want to name names here, Pauly. I don't know if you're going to or not, but we have a mutual friend who was recently here.
He forgot Mike. Mike is running. He's got a one hour speech tomorrow at BetBash, and he's going to talk about running a casino and sports book.
Well, a mutual friend of ours left 20,000 cash in the safe when he bailed to go to the East Coast the other day.

**Mitch Moss** (1:08)
Yes.

**Pauly Howard** (1:08)
Oops.

**Mitch Moss** (1:09)
He looks at what's a 702 number and it's Circus Security. You go, wouldn't you believe it? He goes, he thought he dropped it out of his bag. Is that right? Yeah, it's found money.

**Pauly Howard** (1:19)
Oh my God.

**Mitch Moss** (1:21)
He knows what he's going to tip too. I mean, you want to talk about found money.

**Pauly Howard** (1:25)
Oh, no question.

**Mitch Moss** (1:26)
So that's fun to kick around what the tip is too. But I wonder how many times that happened.

**Pauly Howard** (1:29)
I was going to say, what is your guess right now? How many times on week do you think that happens? That has to happen several times every single week at almost every single casino.

**Mitch Moss** (1:39)
I'm going to say eight times a month here, over under seven and a half.

**Pauly Howard** (1:43)
Okay.

**Jeff Sealey** (1:44)
That's multiple times per week.

**Mitch Moss** (1:45)
They leave stuff in the safe.

**Pauly Howard** (1:47)
No question about it. Totally forgot about it. Had too many drinks last night. It's like the same people who forgot that they put bets in when they come here for a big weekend. Oops, what did I do with that bet? Well, I lost it, but that's a winner. So no good there.

**Mitch Moss** (1:58)
They said, do you want us to send you a check? He goes, no, I'm going to come down and get the cash. Get away from the wife again.

**Pauly Howard** (2:03)
So he's got to fly back out here to get it. He's looking forward to it.

**Mitch Moss** (2:07)
Yeah.

**Pauly Howard** (2:09)
Matt, you was on the program a little bit later on as well, Best Bets in College Football at that time. We were going to start there today, but I think we have to, to me, I tweeted this out before the show started, We have a developing situation here, Pauly, in the National League. The Cubs are thumping the Dodgers again today. Score is six to one. They are currently five and a half back of the Brewers. They are 65 and 49 They have a run differential right now of more than 100 if this score stands, which is one of the best in all of Major League Baseball. You did point out that the Cubs now, they have one of the most difficult schedules remaining, but they had a killer deadline, in my opinion. And here is what has really flipped now in the last 45 minutes. PCA has gone yard today, not once, but twice twice. He has four RBI's, I believe, and he has now flipped to the MVP favorite in the National League. And I can say this right now, that if Shehey Ohtani does not come back and pitch again this year, which is kind of still an unknown, but if he does not, PCA is going to win the award.
He's going to take it down.

**Mitch Moss** (3:06)
Yeah. Well, you needed an injury and or something to happen to him. And you got that. Yep. Well, you're taking that big equation out of it. And one of the things he does best, and the other thing is that this is going to be six losses in a row. They had won nine straight appearances with Lauer, and he had been so good. And now if this stands, they've lost 15 to their last 26
So great job by the Cubbies, the same game pilots. This is like the World Cup with Messi, Howland, Kane to score. Yeah. PCA and Otani both go deep in the first inning. Then PCA added another RBI double in the third. So they're opening up a can here on the Dodgers. And if you're doing a rollover, you're getting paid here too. And that was a nice return yesterday, even though Scubal was solid, but no run support again. And the Cubbies were plus 180 and they got there.
