You know, those three weeks out, I think it will definitely help their field size, but time will tell.
Z
0:49Zach GillumGUEST
You know, over the last few years, I think the last two have skipped the greatness that have won the Derby.
Z
0:56Zach GillumGUEST
So I hope it gets it back to, I know triple crown is something that really is a focus of our sport.

Justin AcriHOST
I see you already have a lot of college football lines for the early games of the season, too, and I'm sure you've got some early lines for NFL as well, right?

I think it was three or four out of the last five, so I hope it gets it back, too.
Z
35:45Zach GillumGUEST
I know Triple Crown is something that really is a focus of our sport, and it's something that brings everybody out.

Justin AcriHOST
But the good news is it's perfectly air conditioned in the sports book and all over Oakland, so that's nice.
Z
0:28Zach GillumGUEST
It is warm outside, and, you know, it's warm in the FanDuel Oak Lawn Sports app.
Z
0:33Zach GillumGUEST
You know, I know this is the time of year where it feels like things are slowing down.
Z
0:37Zach GillumGUEST
We just got through a World Cup, just had the last major of the year for golf, but we are 35 days away from college football.
Wes MooreHOST
So do you all adjust that based on national, or is that based on action that you guys take yourself or FanDuel in general?

Justin AcriHOST
my gosh against vera okay interesting well it's very played great yesterday so i can understand why the odds are so long but he will definitely be the rooting favorite at home i'm assuming they're on center court again but we'll see uh what else is happening this weekend zach

3:28speaker_1HOST
And so this is a unique thing you guys are doing here.
Z
3:40Zach GillumGUEST
And I said, well, keep in mind, in this instance, what this is really for is if your star player's already got two shots on goal and you bet three plus, but your team's up three, they're probably going to put him on the bench and put in his sub.
Z
3:52Zach GillumGUEST
Isn't it nice that that sub shot on goal counts for you? So that's the biggest thing is, it really helps you out to where if your team's doing so well that you're a star player, it doesn't have to be a star, your player that you wagered on is now pulled out of the game, his substats count for that wager.
S
4:28speaker_1HOST
But if there's money to be made and you think there's some opportunities out there for you, you know, you might as well take advantage of it.

We'll run through a little bit of the, do you have any specials or anything different with the U.S. game going on tonight?
Z
35:13Zach GillumGUEST
So right now there is a promotion going, bet $1, get $2.50 back if the U.S. reaches the round of 16, based on what we just told you on those odds, minus $3.10.
Z
35:30Zach GillumGUEST
There are some other profit boosts that are live for the day, not just for World Cup, but for some other sports as well.
Z
35:35Zach GillumGUEST
And then for the U.S. game, similar to the game where Justin's at, you have other options than just winning the game.
M

David BazzelHOST
Is it, is it overwhelming now that the, the Spurs are the favorite to win tonight? I mean, not Spurs, uh, the Knicks, and w- and finish it off here in, in another game?
Z
9:30Zach GillumGUEST
Yeah, I mean, the Knicks have, uh, really, you know, turned themself into a pretty heavy favorite.
Z
9:36Zach GillumGUEST
In tonight's game they're only two and a half point favorite, um, but they are a favorite back at home in New York.
Z
9:42Zach GillumGUEST
Um, and then many different options on how to get down on the game, whether it's the point spread, um, you know, the total obviously, the, uh, money line, but you have a lot of player props, threes, rebounds, assists, um, a lot of different 10 game parlays that you can do with that, and then you're gonna have some fun promotions that go with that, whether it's a profit boost or, um-

S
1:41speaker_2HOST
What's going on with softball and baseball, Zach? What kind of odds are you guys sporting down there?
Z
1:55Zach GillumGUEST
And it looks like right now it's mainly just the money line market for the game.
S
5:52speaker_2HOST
Anything else you want to hit before we
The Zone Thursday 01/29 Hour 3
Z
33:24Zach GillumGUEST
So who do you think is going to make the most birdies, whether it's the tournament or a round? have bogey-free round one.
Zack Gillham in The Zone 5-7-26
T
3:20Todd PierceCORRESPONDENT
If they, if they get there, LSU doesn't want to see them, but, but yeah.
Z
3:26Zach GillumGUEST
Well, and sticking with that Arkansas same basketball odds for next year on the board, if you're looking for that Arkansas 18 to one and then football, you have three games that are available as well as some future markets.
Z
3:37Zach GillumGUEST
So, Win total right now at 4.5. And then you have whether or not they'll win the championship.
Z
3:53Zach GillumGUEST
And then those three games you have posted, they opened it up as a heavy favorite against North Alabama.
S
5:33speaker_3HOST
How will that affect the lines going into the Preakness when the Kentucky Derby winner is not going to participate?
The Zone Thursday 01/29 Hour 3
Z
31:37Zach GillumGUEST
I mean, they've been your favorite to win the championship since last year before they had won the championship.
T
34:47Trey ReidHOST

Morning Mayhem Friday 04/24 Hour 2
22:34
Z
12:50Zach GillumGUEST
And a lot of people kind of forget Litmus Test because he was 22 or 23, but he did make his way into the field, ran I think third in our Rebels, seventh in the Derby.
Z
13:04Zach GillumGUEST
And that usually helps the horse keep a little more focused, and he's really going to need that in a field of 20.
9 MINS LATER

David BazzelHOST
You were doing both the wagering side of the sports book, but you were also doing horse, the horse business.
