00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I'm joined by Matt Horner and we have an NBA all-news for
00:11all of you today on Giannis Santacupo and Victor Wembenyama to each have over 29.5 points
00:19boosted to plus 425 at Caesars.
00:22Matt, what do you think of this one?
00:24Yeah, I mean, it's going to be tough for Victor to get there.
00:28I mean, Giannis, I mean, he's averaging 31.7 points a game, so he literally has to go below
00:33his average to get to this.
00:34So definitely think that's possible against the Spurs, who are the greatest defensive
00:38team.
00:39Milwaukee hasn't been tremendous defensively this season, so Victor could definitely get
00:44to 30 points, but he's averaging 24.4.
00:47So obviously that's why you're getting these types of odds is because Wembenyama hasn't
00:52really been coming close to 30 points on average, but at the same time you get two teams here
00:57that aren't the greatest in the world defensively.
01:00You got a total of 233.5, which, you know, is quite a lot.
01:05So certainly you could see these guys go for 30 points at any given day because they're
01:11both superstars.
01:12So, you know, like I always say, a quarter unit or a half unit on these boosts, I wouldn't
01:17mind.
01:18Very nice.

02:04have over a week into the Super Bowl, but it will be here soon.
02:08Until then, there's a lot of stuff to bet on like hockey.
02:12I am taking the Blue Jackets tonight on the Moneyline plus 165 bit of an underdog here.
02:17They have won their last two games and three of their last four games, while the hockey
02:22club, the Utah Hockey Club, has lost their last three games.
02:25I think they should stick with that name.
02:27I forget what the other proposed name was.
02:29Outlaws.
02:30It was the Outlaws or something, unless that was fake that I saw, but in any event, whatever
02:36they're called, they've lost their last three games to the hockey team.
02:40And they are eight, eight and eight at home after losing four of their last six at home.
02:44So the Blue Jackets also have won two of their last three on the road.
02:47So that bodes very well, I think, for them tonight on the Moneyline plus 165 at that
02:53end.
02:54There you go.
02:55Yeah.
02:56The Utah Hockey Club, just like the Washington football team.
02:58I think they should have stuck with football team.
03:00I think that's funny.
03:02The football team is taking the field like, yeah, it's a football game.
03:08Hockey club.
03:09Yes.
03:10There was one time where the Washington, now the Commanders, were playing the Seahawks.
03:15And I tweeted this because I thought it was, you know, it's a fact.
03:19They're both the Washington football because the Seahawks are Seattle.
03:23And that's so confusing.
03:24Right.
03:25It is confusing, but I think it's funny.
03:27So they should stick with that.
03:30It's amazing to me.
03:31Honestly, I liked it better than the Commanders.
03:32The Commanders sounds like a minor league team.
03:35Like honestly, it sounds like a minor league team.
03:37You know what I wanted?
03:38I wanted it to be the Washington Monuments.
03:40That was one of the names that was thrown out there.
03:42How funny.
03:43The Monuments are taking the field.
03:4635 for the Monuments.
03:48I think Utah is pondering, it's like the Mammoth is one of the options.
03:54Like the, you know, Wooly Mammoths or whatever, for some reason.
03:56It should be the Utah Salt.
03:58I mean, they could be, yeah, the Salt Lake City, yeah.
04:01I mean, they could even be like the Bears because maybe they don't want that name because
04:07it's synonymous with losing.
04:08They could be the Blackhawks.
04:09Yeah, they could be the second Blackhawks.
04:12Yeah, there we go.
04:13Blackhawks 2.
04:14Blackhawks 2.
04:15All right, I'm going to go to the NBA, unfortunately, because quite honestly, I'll tell you this
04:22right now.
04:23The slate tonight is terrible.
04:25The slate tonight, like I would be betting college basketball as I usually do because
04:28that's one of my favorite sports to bet and I love betting on college basketball.
04:32But the slate is horrendous and I really don't have anything in right now.
04:37For the NBA, I put a small amount and I just, you know, God help me for this.
04:43The Chicago Bulls, I'll tail this with extreme caution.
04:47I would not put very much on this, like I said, maybe like the boost, maybe a quarter
04:51unit or a half unit, something like that, because I didn't put much money here.
04:55But the Raptors have won five straight games.
04:57The Toronto Raptors have run three straight games.
04:59They're 15 and 32 and they won five straight in the NBA.
05:04The Bulls coming off that blowout loss to the Celtics, as we know from before.
05:08And I took that, Matt, and you were right.
05:11Yeah, well, the Bulls at that point were coming off a nine and a half point upset win over
05:16the Nuggets.
05:17So it was just like an auto fade for me the next game after that huge win over the Nuggets.
05:22Here they just got blown out by the Celtics and now they have to go on the road to take
05:26on a Raptors team that's won five straight games.
05:29I'm not going to buy into the Raptors here.
05:31I think they've been having a little too much success for how crappy of a team they actually
05:35are.
05:36And this is a good bounce back spot for the Bulls here.
05:39So give me the Bulls plus four.
05:41I hate betting on my own teams because they always disappoint me anyway.
05:45So why lose money on a team that's going to constantly disappoint me?
05:48But at the same time, it just feels like a good spot.
05:51So give me the Bulls a plus four tonight and I'll be sad.
05:55Probably.
05:56Very nice.
