All right, how are we doing, everyone? Welcome back to GOLF Subpar with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz. And all year long, guys have heard us talk about Fanatics Sportsbook. We've run some great promotions with them, interviewed CC. Sabathie at Fanatics Fest, and talked about fan cash. One thing we haven't talked about yet, though, is fair play. But when an injury takes place, it's not just about the game, it's about the game itself. It's different in golf, but when an injury takes your bet and your sportsbook leaves you hanging, that hurts.

Drew Stoltz (1:11)

There you go. Or call Terry. Yeah. That is a guy. What a mess that is.

Colt Knost (1:17)

Yeah. You wanna talk about it?

Drew Stoltz (1:19)

That's a nightmare. Well, I mean, yeah, there's not a ton of stuff going on. I feel like that's a pretty big story. That is, I think, every league. There's some massive stuff going on. Okay, there's some other things going on. That's like the worst case scenario for a pro sports league. When you start to lose the integrity of the actual games and the people play. Now, these aren't like former players that have a friend on the team. They're like, hey, so and so's out. These are dudes that are playing and coaching. I don't know. That's, it feels like, and then the mob. I don't even know the mob was still really bad active. Apparently they are.

Colt Knost (1:50)

I mean, look, all the details haven't come out yet. It's not great. But like you said, yeah, the integrity of the game with how big gambling is now is horrible. And also Terry, 26 million is more than 200,000. I don't know if you know that you could just stick to making the 26 million a year and all is good. I know you want to help your buddies out. Maybe give me just a little cash here and there. But throwing games, that's just this is a big problem.

Drew Stoltz (2:16)

That's my guy Chauncey too, love Chauncey. Park Hills Finest, Denver, Colorado, one of our only NBA guys ever. Legend around there. And always been like the stand up guy. Never had any issues, any of that sort of thing. But yeah, current player on a monster contract, been like, hey, you want to make an extra 10 grand? I just can't understand. Also it's prop bets on him. I can't imagine the market just flooding those bets in there on a weekly basis. So if all of a sudden you start getting guys putting 200k on you to short your point total, might raise an eyebrow.

Colt Knost (2:49)

And also I would have to think once you do see like, oh, this is kind of weird. I mean, this is a lot more money than normal on a prop bet. And this has happened a few times and every time he doesn't play very much of the game.

Drew Stoltz (2:57)

And he normally sits out and also this guy's his cousin.

Colt Knost (2:59)

Yeah, so like, what do we do here? The poker games are just wild. I mean, what?

Drew Stoltz (3:05)

The x-ray glasses and shit and tables? I need some of that.

Colt Knost (3:10)

There's some weird, yeah. Let's go ahead and do it.

Drew Stoltz (3:12)

Lam, come blame me.

Colt Knost (3:13)

Well, it was just it was crazy that all happened because I was up at Vegas playing the member guest with Ben Lam, one of the best poker players in the world. We're up there at Southern Highlands, and obviously everyone's asking him all about this.

Drew Stoltz (3:23)

And he's like, yeah, man, has he ever been a part of any of these?

Colt Knost (3:26)

He says he's definitely pretty confident he's been cheated before at a home game, like doesn't really play much anymore. But it's scary, the technology they have, like I know he would. He obviously knows a lot more about this than than most. But I mean, there's some weird stuff between the glasses. I believe there's some like, I don't know if there's the barcode you can install on like the side of the cards to where you kind of know exactly what's going to happen with the hand before it even starts, which is possibly one of the things. I mean, it's some weird stuff going on. And we're talking guys that have lost millions of dollars at these games. They've been cheated out of it.
