00:00Kaitlin Clark's arrival to the WNBA has sparked massive WNBA betting growth, massive betting
00:11growth, kind of like everything else, kind of like how it sparked massive ticket sales,
00:15massive television ratings, massive actually people paying attention, kind of the same
00:21way.
00:22It's also sparked massive betting growth.
00:24What a correlation, Scotty.
00:26Well, I think, you know, I know that there's this gigantic over, like in some states, over
00:33200 percent increase in the amount of wagering on the WNBA.
00:39So the proof's in the pudding.
00:42If it is what it is and that's what they're betting on and those numbers in droves, that's
00:48great for the sportsbooks.
00:51I don't see how that benefits women's basketball at all, frankly, or the NBA that tons of people
00:59are betting on it.
01:00We've already seen betting scandals in the NBA, and I'm sure that betting scandals will
01:06follow in the WNBA.
01:09The reality is all it does is make the sportsbooks more money.
01:12The more they talk about how many people are betting on it.
01:15Now, listen, I'm going to be honest with you straight up.
01:17I'm not here to lie.
01:20The only person I know that bets on that is coach.
01:23The only person I know on the face of the earth that bets on the WNBA is coach.
01:28That's it.
01:29I don't bet on.
01:30I don't bet on that.
01:31And, you know, I, I tell you, like it is, I don't bet on animals and I don't bet on
01:36chick basketball at this point.
01:39And I'll tell you why.
01:40I don't know enough about it.
01:41Like I know all of the best players in the league, you know, maybe the top 10 players
01:46in the league, but I don't know anybody else.
01:50So I think it puts me at an extreme disadvantage as a better.
01:53If you're betting on, this is the same theory as betting on Korean baseball around here.
01:58I will never forget starting my job and then COVID started on SportsGrid and every host
02:04on this network was betting 35 Korean baseball bets a day and ping pong and cricket.
02:09It's embarrassing.
02:10I'm sorry.
02:11I don't, I don't bet on things I don't know about.
02:13So you can take that all the way to the bank anyway you want.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Yeah.
