00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost. I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I am joined by Matt Horner
00:10and Amir Tyree and we have an NBA Odds Boost for all of you today on Damian Lillard and
00:15Gary Trent Jr. To each have over two and a half made threes boosted to plus 350 at Caesars.
00:22What do you guys think of this boost? Yeah, I mean, it's plus 350 so obviously you're
00:27not going to go insane here, but Damian Lillard, I mean, he's been one of the better three
00:30point shooters we've seen in quite some time. At least he was when he was with the Trailblazers.
00:35He still continued that mostly with the Bucks. He did have seven threes not too long ago
00:40in a game, so he could definitely still do the three ball. The other guy, you know, could
00:44make this. That's the tough part of it, but I'm not going to sit here and say I'm some
00:48NBA guru or NBA expert as I usually say. I don't normally bet tons in the NBA unless
00:53it's on a Bulls game I'm just watching for fun. So I'm going to toss this to Amir, who's
00:56a lot more knowledgeable about the NBA and this boost. Yeah, I mean, definitely Lillard
01:01is the one that you look for to kind of stabilize this bet. And then Gary Trent Jr., he's been
01:07one of the better three and D players in the NBA for a while. Initially moving over to
01:10the Bucks, he has struggled early on, but his makes per game for three point range have
01:15gone up with every month since he's been there. So he's got like 2.3 made threes a game right
01:20now. So at least for the month of December. So he's trending upward. And I think especially
01:24with Chris Middleton kind of getting back in the mix. They don't want to give him a
01:27full workload yet. This is one of the best times to try and cash in on something like
01:31this. Love that. Get in on this odds boost plus 350 at Caesars and take advantage of

02:17taking the lightning to cover the puck line minus one and a half against the Blue Jackets.
02:23The Blue Jackets have lost four in a row. They are one in seven in their past eight
02:27games and the lightning have won four of their last five games and the lightning have covered
02:32the puck line in their last five games. So I'm taking them to do just that tonight against
02:37the Blue Jackets minus one and a half. Yeah, the lightning should be able to do some damage
02:41there. The Blue Jackets defensively are horrendous. They're horrendously bad, especially in the
02:46net. They're not good either. I'm going to go to college basketball as usual, my second
02:51best sport outside of the NFL by a mile. North Carolina. North Carolina tonight is a three
02:58and a half point underdog going up against number seven in the country, Florida. Florida
03:03is undefeated. They are 10 and 0 this year, undefeated, the number seven team in the country.
03:08They're at home and they're just three and a half point favorites against a North Carolina
03:14team that is just six and four this season. People are down on them. They haven't been
03:18playing nearly as well as we're accustomed to seeing. And they're just a three and a
03:21half point goal to the number 17 undefeated team in the country that's playing at home.
03:26Hmm. I wonder. That's very curious. So, yeah, I'm going to go with the Tar Heels here, plus
03:32three and a half. They're probably going to win the game, quite honestly. So if you want
03:35to take them on the money line, it's about plus 145 right now. So if you want to take
03:40that as well, sprinkle that. But definitely love the three and a half. North Carolina
03:44probably going to win. I will say I'm not as tuned in on the NHL or specifically that
03:50as I am. But if you think of the NBA, I think it's a win win for me. I wrote earlier in
03:58the season about how the Thunder were my favorite pick to win the NBA Cup at plus 400 and about
04:04how the Bucks are my favorite sleeper at plus 500. I put like at least a unit on both sides.
04:08So either way will be a win. But I'm going to double down and do the spread for today
04:13and do the Thunder minus four and a half points. Five straight double digit wins for them.
04:19The latest to have played way better basketball. The Bucks have this season come against the
04:23Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets, both two high up teams in a very competitive
04:27Western Conference. And then, yeah, the neutral side thing is a little bit new in the NBA
04:32and the NBA Cup era. But if you put any emphasis on just history, recent history in the NBA
04:39Cup era, the Bucks are only one against the spread of neutral sites. So there's that to
04:44the Thunder covered in 16 or 25 games this season. So I'm rolling with the Thunder. Go
04:48ahead and cover minus four and a half plus trusting Doc Rivers in a big game. I probably
04:54would never want to do so. I do know that. Yeah, I do know that much. That's Bob. It's
05:01tough. I love these bets and the odds boost. Plus, they're 50 at Caesars. Get in on all
05:06of that and subscribe to the Bet. Well, daily boost wherever you get your.
