Special Guests: Jay Kornegay, Derek Stevens and Kelly In Vegas

This week Bill was out in Las Vegas and captured short on-location interviews with three of the biggest names in NFL contests.

Bill chats to Kelly Stewart, AKA Kelly In Vegas, about her popular proxy service for out-ot-town bettors. Then it’s a conversation with Jay Kornegay, VP of Race and Sports Operations at the Westgate Superbook, about their big Super Contest, followed by a check-in with casino owner Derek Stevens about the contests going down at Circa in Las Vegas.

Weekly Free Pick

For this week’s pick, Krack is looking at MLB futures and suggests considering mid-level teams including the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Chicago White Sox, Arizona Cardinals, Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox for futures.

Krack is pointing at this year’s unique format to help understand why there’s value in these long-shot futures plays. Some of these teams are going off at up to 30 to 1 which lends itself well to taking a few flyers on bets like this.

Twitter Q&A

This week’s twitter questions include an NBA matchup between the Mavs and Clippers, and whether the Raptors have a shot at winning the East. Krack also expands on his approach to playing multiple entries in football contests and checks in on the MLB and what we’ve seen so far in the first half of the season.
