Chapter 1: What were the big wins from last weekend in sports?

0.031 - 27.463 G Lane

Live from the Mobile Export Beer Garden Studios, this is the ACC Sportsbook, powered by the TAB. The ACC Sportsbook, thanks to the TAB. G'day, Carl. Face-to-face at TAB HQ here in Wellington. Welcome. Yeah, my first question to you was, where do you keep the precogs? Down the basement? Down the back. Down the back. Are they covered in like a miscus kind of fluid, like the proper precogs?

0

27.483 - 49.758 G Lane

Yeah, they don't often see the light of day down there. Oh, very good. No, it's great to be here, actually. Good to be here. Down in Wally, we just completed the Battle of the Balls with the Movember 11 versus the ACC 11 at the Basin Reserve. A little bit stiff. I'm a bit Steve Stifler. You saw me. I grabbed you a coffee and I was on a stool down in the cafe.

0

49.778 - 71.472 G Lane

And as I got up, I looked like a dangerously old man. And I'm stiff, sure. But this morning, I bent over to put some washing in there. This is embarrassing. Bent over to put some washing in the washing machine. And my back just went, just tweaked. And I was like, oh, God, I am an old man. But it was a good afternoon. It was a good afternoon with the Movember crew. Dane Coles.

0

71.772 - 87.618 G Lane

Dane Coles, he's a handy in the field. Oh, yes. Still nimble. Shoulders a bit too big to roll the arm over. I must admit, he came in on the bowling crease very round arm. And we did work out the fact that his shoulders are way too big to even get the arm up straight. Yeah, I've got that same problem.

0

88.039 - 104.575 G Lane

And then Hamish Marshall, almost like a schoolyard bully, Hamish Marshall came in and absolutely skittled him within three balls, took out the leg stump. And Hamish was actually like, he said, I was actually trying to throw it up for him to hit it because I really don't want Dane Coles to be on my bad side.

104.775 - 125.039 G Lane

Because if I ever come across him in a game of social rugby, he knows that Dane Coles is going to snap him in half. Righto, so let's talk last week. Any big winners from last week? I'm not on the big winners, by the way. Not this time? Not this time. You've got to have a little break with these things sometimes. You can't get too excited. I've got four good ones here. Jesus. First one.

125.179 - 149.45 G Lane

You can see these live now. I can see. So I don't make these up. Yeah, that is one hell of a multi. So we've got 15 legs. It's a $5 same game multi in the NBA. Atlanta Hawks against the New York Knicks earlier in the week. Same game. I wouldn't even know how many of those multis to even place within a game to know anything about that. Me neither. It's all points, rebounds, assists.

150.03 - 171.728 G Lane

So $5 into $1,200. Tidy. Not bad. Tidy. Then we have, what do we got here? An eight-leg tri-scorer multi in the NRL. It seems easy. Yeah. When you look at it like this, you go, of course, Alex Johnson's going to score. Of course, Dylan Edwards is going to score. Tom Jenkins. Of course, he's going to. More tries than two teams. Yeah. And of course, you know. Casey McLean. Yeah.

171.848 - 205.287 G Lane

Anyway, $2 into $1,100. Yeah, nice. Nice. Tidy. This one is an 11-leg all over the show multi here. Actually, we've got NRL, we've got NBA. That's a real sicko there. That's sicko stuff when you're going across the NBA to NRL. Multiple NRL games. $10 into $5,400. $5,400. And then this one here, I love this one. We're on the nags. We're on the horsies at Whanganui. Six fixed wins.

Chapter 2: What betting opportunities are available for the upcoming weekend?

263.18 - 276.991 G Lane

And so that was always more like mum, dad, we've got to go. But knowing what I know now, they would have been hung over on New Year's Day. Oh, true, actually. They're like, just give them the Moribar, for Christ's sake. We'll buy you a Moribar. Maybe they bought us Moribars.

0

Chapter 3: What insights can we gain from the Masters Edition of Stats To Impress The Ladies?

277.011 - 296.63 G Lane

We'll buy you a Moribar, for Christ's sake. Okay, so looking at this weekend, finally, Super Rugby is all back. All the teams are playing. So probably two main games we wanted to look at, and that is the Highlanders' Brumbies on Friday night. And then we'll talk a bit about the big top-of-the-table clash on the Saturday. Yeah, interesting one, the Highlanders. Brumby's won.

0

297.131 - 318.71 G Lane

Highlanders are $2.05, the Brumby's $1.72. But yesterday, when the markets opened up until yesterday, it was flipped. The Highlanders opened favorites at $1.72. The Lions, $1.50, total $56.50. All the money's with the Brumby's in the match result, the majority of it. But there is some love for the Highlanders in the winning team in margin market, 1-12.

0

319.411 - 338.182 G Lane

So, I mean, it's as close as you're going to get to flip a coin, I think. Yeah. But is that really the case? Yeah, well, you're a big Highlanders man, so you're slightly blinkered by your blind faith in the Highlanders. I've also watched approximately 86 minutes of Highlanders rugby this year. Yeah. Was that the first game? It was, yeah. Where they tipped out the Crusaders.

0

338.623 - 355.337 G Lane

It's all I can finish on that. I think at home, they're always a challenge at home, the Highlanders, under the roof at the Sistema lunchbox. So yeah, that's not bad eating at 2 or 5 for the Highlanders. Yeah. It'll be an interesting one, especially after the Brumbies came over here and tailed out the Crusaders. Yeah. But then they've had their troubles elsewhere. Yeah. Yeah.

0

356.178 - 375.303 G Lane

And then the big game, top of the table clash, the Hurricanes are hosting the Blues at Matt Henry Stadium. Yeah. That's, yeah. $1.30, the Hurricanes, Blues, $3.40. I saw Ruben Love throwing a bit of shade towards the Blues the other day. Nice. Did you see that? No, I didn't see that. But any time I do see that, I enjoy it.

375.804 - 394.953 G Lane

A reporter was asking him, saying that the Blues have said that they'll be able to really see where the Hurricanes are at in this game. And Ruben turns around and says, well, I think you mean actually see where you're at, not where we're at. It's good. I like a bit of trash talk. We need more of that. We need something.

394.973 - 414.94 G Lane

We need more of that because the highlight of, I think, Super Rugby the last couple of years was the Moana Pacifica Blues Beef. That was some of the great, I mean, even if it was all contrived, I didn't care. It still sounded good. Super Rugby needs something. I was having this conversation with mates the other day. You've got the Hurricanes here in Wellington putting 50 on everyone they play.

414.92 - 428.773 G Lane

It was free for people, kids to go the other day at four o'clock. They only get 10,000, 12,000 people. 10 years ago, that stadium would have been rocking. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, I know. Yeah, you're right. I don't know what that is, but I'm headed along on Saturday.

428.993 - 444.248 G Lane

So I'm going to go in search of, we upset quite a few Hurricanes fans here in our gender podcast, just, you know, saying, where are you? Where are you at? We had a lot of Hurricanes mana, Canes mana coming through. So they're out there. They just need to get along with the ground and drag some mates with them. But I'll see you there on Saturday night. Yeah, nice.

Chapter 4: How can we analyze the odds for the Highlanders vs. Brumbies match?

722.815 - 741.824 G Lane

I'm not sure they needed to do that. Okay. But I love the memes around a tradition like no other and having the flipped car amongst in Magnolia Lane. So there we go. So I think every Masters now a professional golfer needs to flip their car because it needs to be a tradition like no other. They need to start it. So anyway, so everyone's talking about the Masters. They had the par three comp.

0

741.844 - 759.763 G Lane

It's on now. It should be finishing up. Right on now, which is always a good laugh where the caddies have a hoon. A couple of hole-in-ones this morning I saw. Yeah, was it Justin Thomas? Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, and maybe one other. You think that's, I mean, the par three comp, is that on the actual course? No, they've got a par three course. Oh, right, okay.

0

760.024 - 775.949 G Lane

Because that would suck using up a hole-in-one in the practice round. You'd be like, God damn it. You'd definitely count it as a hole-in-one though, wouldn't you? Oh, honey. I would. I'd have to pee. I've had one by myself that I count by myself for me. Yeah, see, that's the thing. I saw it go in, man. I saw it go in.

0

775.969 - 793.999 G Lane

Okay, Jimmy Neesham is the same because Jimmy Neesham, we hit him up about that and he goes, we said, have you ever hit a hole-in-one? He goes, yep. Small caveat, I was on my own and we were like, it didn't happen. It didn't happen. Brian Fox also feels that same way. He was giving me assholes about that. Yeah. I know it happened. Okay. Sure. I've also had two others too.

0

795.081 - 817.108 G Lane

So you had three hole-in-ones. I have. Do you know what that is? Greedy. They're downright greedy. Have I told you? I had one at the New Zealand Open. Have I told you that? Oh, yeah, you've told me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Surprisingly, you have told me that. Anyway, Masters, is anyone backing Rory to go back-to-back? No. Oh, no. He is our fourth most backed golfer.

817.669 - 840.163 G Lane

In order, it goes Bryson, Ludvig, Scotty Scheffler, Rory, Justin Rose. Bryson, to me, that seems like more hype than anything. Yeah, I don't know. He finished fifth last year. He's in the final group. He's got the game. I don't know if he's got – I don't know. He's won twice in a row on live. Yeah, right. I don't really know where to put him.

840.183 - 843.708 G Lane

I find golf the hardest in terms of punting on sport.

Chapter 5: What predictions can be made for the Hurricanes vs. Blues game?

844.129 - 865.745 G Lane

I find golf the most difficult, to be honest, in terms of outright winners. If you can pick a winner, you're Nostradamus. Yeah. Having said that, you always get to the winner of the mass and it's like, oh, no shit. Why didn't I pick him? Yeah. But I mean, I suppose what makes it a bit easier is the top 10, top 20, top 30 making the cut kind of punts. And now we can do same game multis. Yeah.

0

865.945 - 892.756 G Lane

Okay, there you go. With those top 30, top 40 markets. Yeah, 15% of all the outright money on Bryson, 4% on our man Foxy. That's more a kind of a... I think he's paying about $150. I did see an interview he did with George Harper Jr. saying that he's feeling a lot better now after his surgery the other week. You'd hope so. He might have rushed back too early the other week. Okay.

0

893.738 - 921.044 G Lane

And then you're talking about top tens and stuff. Bryson is the best-backed $2.10 for a top ten. Yep. Foxy is the second best-backed at $12. To make a top ten? Top ten, yep. I don't mind Foxy for a top 40, top 30. He's gone pretty well at Augusta in the past. Justin Rose, best-backed first-round leader at $29 with 18% of the money. He has the most first-round leaders.

0

921.064 - 948.644 G Lane

He's been the leader the most five times. He's been the overnight leader. Yeah, the first-round leader five times. Most out of anyone. Paying $29. $29. Okay, that's worth a sniff. Yeah. Definitely worth a sniff. Got a couple of big bets here. What have we got? $1,000 on Robert McIntyre to finish in the top 20. $1,000 on Rory to win at $13. $530 on Rory to win.

0

948.824 - 977.807 G Lane

Who says there's no money in golf at the moment? Golf fans just crushing $1,000 bin. Someone's put $500 on Minwoo and Lee to be the first round leader at $41. Oh, yeah. That'll return 20K. Yeah, some big, big bets. Just quickly before we move on, I forgot to mention in the NRL section. Yeah. You know last week I said we've got the three of four option? Yes, yes. Did it hit again? It hit again.

978.248 - 1018.34 G Lane

Six of six. So you're stupid not to get onto it. So this year, this week, let me just bring it up. Rugby League. Rugby League. NRL. Three from four boost this week. Here you go. You've got any three of Tommy Turbo, Murray Tuolagi, Latrell Mitchell, and Mark Nawakanitawase. That's it. Any three of those, four. That's pretty good. What are we paying? Was 220, boost it up to three. Here you go. Man.

1018.36 - 1048.741 G Lane

Six from six, guys. Six from six. Giving away money. Get on. Giving it away. Rightio. We'll take a quick break and we'll come back with Grab a Pen. Pause the podcast now and grab a pen for the hottest tips from around the TAB office. Rightio, Carl. How did we go last week? D? No, probably F. F. Oh, shit. Not a single winner. Oh. Which I don't think has happened for a long time. That is unusual.

1048.841 - 1071.856 G Lane

Okay. Well, let's – should we just bin that for now? Let's just draw a line under – The pen, we'll use the pen from last week and we'll draw a line under it and throw the pen out. Sounds good. Grab a new pen. Sounds good. Harness Sicko. Yeah, he's got a few for us today. We'll start with Addington, obviously. Obviously. Race one, number two, Joyride at $3.50 and $1.55. Oh, yeah.

1071.876 - 1088.341 G Lane

Have you heard of the Joyride lollies? There's a YouTuber who brings out, he's got his own lollies called Joyride. No. That's what triggered me there because every time I go overseas for work or something, I get absolutely waterboarded to grab Joyride. I wonder if he's sponsored by that anyway. What kind of lollies? Are they hard or soft? They're soft lollies.

Chapter 6: What are the betting strategies for the NRL matches this weekend?

1123.647 - 1143.251 G Lane

And I used to go and do gardening as a student. I used to go over and mow his lawns and do the gardens. And he taught me how to count cards and the blackjack table. Wow. So we'd have a little break and go and have some lunch. And for an hour, he would teach me how to count the cards by doing the kind of minus one, plus one, with anything lower than an eight would be a minus one.

0

1143.291 - 1160.717 G Lane

Anything higher than an eight would be a plus one. So as you got more and more miners, you knew that the pack was stacked with picture cards or nines above. So you could start betting heavy. He got banned from the Christchurch Casino and the Auckland Casino. I'm not surprised. So there you go. And now you are. You will not be allowed in.

0

1160.737 - 1173.156 G Lane

Yeah, RIP because he passed away just recently, but he taught me how to count cards. Wow. There you go. So you should be teaching your kids that, not actually how to play. I need you to teach me that first and then I'll teach them. Okay. How about you come around to my house tonight? Okay.

0

1174.238 - 1194.075 G Lane

Um, the other, so Thursday, Addington, sorry, Friday, but then there's also a big night, a night of champions at Cambridge on Friday night. So is this the jewels? No, no, this is night of champions. So we've got the TAB trot. Yeah. Uh, and then the race brought to you by sport nation, a couple of massive races there. Yep. Um,

0

1194.967 - 1223.048 G Lane

The tier B trot, there's a horse in this, an Australian horse called Keang Zahara, best trotter on the land. 28 starts, 27 wins, one second. Jesus. Paying $1.05 to win the race. Stick it in a multi. The harness sicko is going for a top two in that race. Number eight, Gus. Top two at $2.70. Yep. Multied into the next race, which is the race brought to you by Betcha. Number seven, Leap to Fame.

1223.529 - 1237.07 G Lane

Yep. Top two. At $1.50, multi them together, you get $4.05. That's not bad. That's not bad. Okay. Good luck, Soko. And then I've only got a couple from Australia this week. I spent too much time looking at Masters stuff.

1238.493 - 1238.893 Karl

That's all right.

1239.113 - 1260.668 G Lane

Race five at Ramwick, second day of the championships. Number one, I hope he wins. $2.35 and $1.28. That's a good vibe punt. I mean, is that a New Zealand horse? Yes, won a group one here earlier in the season. Oh, nice. Yep. And then Doombin, we've got three here. Race four, I'm not sure the number actually. I haven't written it down. Falcon Lair, $3.10 and $1.50.

1261.85 - 1281.856 G Lane

Then the following race, race five, number one, Ikari and Dream, $3.10 and $1.50. Have I done that right? Before I copy and paste of those odds. I need to check that. And then race eight, a horse that we've backed before, number 15, Margot's Deal at 650 and 240. Okay, excellent.
