Have you not seen what’s going on there did you really expect there to be hundreds of people following each hole people aren’t watching and people aren’t going to these Tournaments Scotty Sheffer Rory maroy Xander shafley and all the big names on the PGA tour will be at Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational and we’ve got you covered with a great great show full of tons of gambling content guys we’re going to go over some outright winners

Finishing positions we’ll take a look at some DraftKings Darlings get you ready for DFS and get you ready to turn a profit on the Arnold Palmer I Am Andy Lang from wagertalk.com being joined as always by Nick Borman from wagertalk.com Nick we had an odd tournament last week

Finishes on Monday hardly anybody was there to watch it it was kind of surreal watching uh ecro take it home do we finally get a big name this week do you think um I actually kind of have a theory as to what’s going on here with

Why we’re getting some of these uh i’ say lesser names winning these tournaments But Here We Go Again with it last week so what do you think is this the week where we turn the tide Jake Gap wasn’t big enough for you yes this is

The week Andy this is the week Bay Hill is tough it plays very major likee or it can depending especially depending on the weather so I think this is the week we’re going to see the big name and the low odds come through for us

We got a nice promo code coming up a little bit later but let’s talk about Bay Hill as Nick mentioned this course can be an absolute brute uh each year it’s hovering around the top seven hardest course on tour this is not going to be a birdie Fest most likely uh the

Greens they can be fast but there is rain in the forecast for Tuesday overnight uh bleeding over into Wednesday so I think it’s going to soften up the greens a little bit it should help players control the ball a little bit more on on the approaches the

Rough is grown out this is 3-in rough so um this isn’t one of those where you can bomb the ball off the te and if it doesn’t hit the Fairway no big deal this is something that you know is going to affect guys you have to put the ball in

The Fairway um there are nine holes where water is in play three of the par fives are 550 Plus yards and the wind looks like it’s going to be an issue on the weekend Saturday and Sunday looks like it’s going to be the the windiest two days of the tournament and Nick this

Could be a thing where shooting even par on the weekend could put you in contention to win this is just not going to be one of those minus 15 minus 19 type of tournaments so difficulty of win difficulty hitting the ball closest to the hole you’re going to have guys are

Going to have to make some of these putts that are 10 12 15 feet um it’s just not going to be one of those courses and one of those situations where you’re going to be able to go pin hunting on every single hole so what’s your Takeaway on this course B

Hill yeah it’s difficulty it’s going to be driving is going to be important this week as well as as long iron play if you look back at uh history in the recent years beill ranks in the top 10 you mentioned top seven routinely almost every year in hardest to find the

Fairway only 54% of Fairways are hit and then subsequently greens only 58% which both rank in the top 10 difficulty as far as hitting Fairways or hitting greens goes course is long almost 7500 yards it is a stock 72 so there are some some scoring opportunities obviously

With the par fivs but rough is long 3 in uh apparently Florida has been wetter than usual which means the rough is even thicker than usual so just more emphasis on finding the Fairway off the te and there’s a large number more than average number of shots that come from 175 yards

Or more because of how long this place is so long iron play very important and of course like I mentioned driving and it’s even more obvious those two skill sets just look at some of the past winners Andy you got Maloy sheffler deshambo and of course Tiger Woods all

Those guys could drive the ball well and and you know tiger was the best long iron player we’ve ever seen in at least in our lifetime so it just goes to show that that is is the skill set that has proven here and it always helps to have

A little bit of course history uh six of the last seven winners at Bay Hill have had at least one previous top 15 in the tournament so goes without saying that some experience around this track and the difficulty of it and where to miss is important and and one last little

Element I’m looking at because of the fact that this course you’re going to miss greens there’s just no getting away from it right so I’m looking you know for guys that can scramble very well and have a tight short game right now because they’re going to be scrambling

It’s going to happen nobody’s going to avoid it but the guys that can minimize those mistakes uh will have a a huge huge part you know come down theend on on Sunday but I’m not really paying too much attention to putting I think that’s one part of the game obviously

If if everybody’s equal the guy that’s going to make more putts is is going to win but if you’re going to give me a guy that’s driving the ball well and hit his long iron is great uh I’m GNA take that guy over a guy that’s putting very very

Well right now because I don’t care what putting’s going to do if you’re not getting there it’s not going to matter I think this week it’s not going to be a huge thing and you already mentioned the weather any so I’ll leave that alone um but I’m really looking forward to it

Should be H I think the best field so far this year um and we’ll look at that a little further we get into the players themselves yeah stacked field we you go over the field here a little bit I mean basically all the big names from the PGA

Tour are playing Sheffer Rory Klay havin Schley Kurt Kama is your defending champ um tons of big names you know tons of big names I guess I’m just wired so far this year to not be surprised if there’s another surprise guy up near the top on Sunday so couple of names I’m interested

On how they perform I’m really interested in how will zalatoris looks this week came off runner up on his last time out so excited to see see him and see uh you know hey is this guy back to you know being in really good form because let’s face it the PGA Tour could

Use as many bigname guys playing well week in and week out as they could possibly get uh I thought it was nice to see Shane Lowry with a fourth place finish it was a bummer that he hit the ball in the water um uh towards the end

On on Monday destroyed his club uh destroyed a tea box when he hit in the water there I thought that was good to see him up near the top and then uh cam young Cam young has three top 10 finishes in his last five tournaments

And it would be nice to see a guy like him show a little bit of consistency that’s kind of what’s eluded him over the you know short career is you know he’ll have one good finish and then a a not good finish and then a good finish

And then a not good finish go okay come on let’s let’s piece it together so it’s always exciting when you w watch these younger guys start to really figure it out this guy’s finished 10th and 13th here the last two years so those are couple of other of names that I’m pretty

Excited uh to see I don’t know if there’s anybody else that um you’re excited to to watch perform this week in this loaded field yeah uh I’ll I’ll hit on those players here in a second when we get to the uh Strokes game graphic because a

Lot of them are going to be highlighted right then and there um but it is worth noting real quick before we get to that that I did you know looking at last you know talking about trying to get a a big name winner you look at last year’s leaderboard yeah kyama won surprising

Everybody but in the top five with him mroy Sheffer spe and kley so clearly that was a loaded leaderboard last year and all all very good for for pj2 R viewership which like you said they need right now so I’m expecting to see a similar leader board this year as

Like button and subscribe hit that Bell and get notified when all videos come up on wager talk.com YouTube channel let’s take a look at The Strokes gained graphic and this takes a look at who’s been playing good 12 months 6 months last three months so Nick we still have

A pretty loaded big names filling up this uh this board and we talked about having a lot of long shot winners but I think with this graphic shows is these long shot winners they’re not duplicating it you know it’s not week in and week out that you know it’s kind of

These one-off winners so let’s take a look at The Strokes game Graphics what can we take away from it this week yeah that’s exactly right Andy long shot winners are not consistent over time and that’s why you’re seeing uh you’re not seeing those names here these are guys that are performing well

Consistently every even if they’re not winning they’re consistently In Contention Scotty’s obviously leading the way number one in the world pretty much guaranteed a top 10 finish every time he tees it up clearly why we’re seeing him even again if he is not winning because there’s somebody beating

Him every week he is one of the most consistent on tour and it this is basically the odds board uh you’re GNA find on any any book out there it’s it’s it’s Rory it’s Xander Victor uh kley Mora Fleetwood uh the most surprising thing I think on this graphic for me

Right now is good old lud o Berg 11th in the world Andy somehow crazily that’s a quick rise man so good for him he is playing well he does have that win already under his belt on the PJ tour and on the DP World Tour so uh first

Time around here so not as uh you know high on him coming in but JT is a guy we talked about a couple times and trending in the right direction and we’re getting a number on him north of 30 to1 I’m very interested in him this week uh but it’s

Exactly what you’d expect to see here as far as the leaderboard goes goes and the best guys as far as the odds Market um consistency things we talk about each each week you know a guy like Russell Henley is ninth 12 months but is his shorter term not as strong he’s also not

A long hitter so he might struggle a little bit this week uh Victor hlin surprisingly not the greatest short-term stats however a guy like him he’s only played I think it’s twice now so far on tour this year maybe it was three so it’s limited experience so if you have

One or or even two kind of bad or so so events and you’re not playing much you’re going to be able to hide anything so I take those ones like a guy like him with a grain of salt but otherwise it’s it’s exactly kind of what you’d expect

To see and and Xander’s another guy I think he’s got the longest uh made cut streak right now on tour and you can see that here because his numbers don’t really change from 12 months to six months to three months he’s just even Keel so that’s our top 10 this week Andy

I’m thinking said it I think every week this year so far I’m thinking our winner is going to come from this graphic this week if you just kind of let everything go silent you try and listen really closely you can hear wae Neiman complaining about lud AAR being ranked

11th on the world golf rank at at the end at the end Nick’s gonna give out a an outright winner for the Puerto Ric open and I’m gonna I’m gonna I’m gonna touch on these live guys whining about some of this stuff because quite frankly

I’ve had it I I I just I’ve reached my my Breaking Point with with some of those guys but uh um yeah you know Nick you mentioned VI hin which is a great segue into players that can trip you up uh these are this is my segment I do

Every week where I I take three guys that I think everyone is going to be betting on or going to want to be betting on and I would just say be careful I think these guys can trip you up in Daily fantasy seasonal fantasy head-to-heads and outright so I will

Start with none other than Rory mroy we had him last week as a player that could trip you up and he looked like he was doing pretty good and then Nick another finish outside the top 20 and this guy is being priced as number one number two betting favorite he’s just not getting

It done on the PJ tour so 21st last week well below value and I know he loves playing here listen I I’ve seen the stats I get it top 10 machine but um it just three finishes on the PGA tour this season are 21st 24th and 66th in his

Last three months he’s only 19th in total Strokes gained in this weeks field and the really the only part of his game that you can point to that he that is he’s been doing well is the driving distance and does Drive the ball far drives the ball long his approaches have

Not been this uh been good this year his putting is really really bad uh you could point to his approach last week and say his irons were much better last week than they have been for this year but I just kick it over how bad this

Putting is is his putting is minus uh 0.36 in the last three months and that’s just not going to get it done here when you got a loaded field with all kinds of guys on a really difficult course so Rory mcore is my first player that I

Think can trip you up up next is Xander shafley he has been great this season uh finished top 10 and four out of five events but he was 39th here last year he didn’t play here the two previous years and before that 24th and we’ve seen some

Of these bigger name guys avoid some courses that they appear to not really feel comfortable on and maybe there’s something about Xander shafley and not really liking this event because only playing here twice is kind of a red flag and finishing uh 39th and 24th is is a

Red flag that is well below his normal average so he’s priced is a top five favorite it’s just too steep of a price for me for on someone who uh you know doesn’t really play here that often and when he has played here hasn’t really finished good so I’m going to be staying

Away from Xander Schley I don’t think he’s the top five guy that his price reflects and finally I am going with Victor hin he’s finished second and 10th the last two years here but he has not finished better than 19th this year on the PGA tour and his total Strokes

Gained this year are only plus 1.07 that is 26 spots worse than number one Scotty sheffler so there is a wide gap between what Victor hin has been doing and what Scotty shuffler has been doing I just I’m need to see top five upside on him before I start wagering on him he’s

Paired up against the biggest names in head-to-head matchups you got to pay a steep price to to for him to finish top 20 and top 10 and I just I difficult field I know he’s been playing I know he’s played good here but I need to see

It this year so Victor havin rounds up my top three Rory maroy Xander shley and Victor hin three players that I think can trip you up let’s take a look at a player that uh Nick is high on this week and I have to agree with him so let’s

Take a look at an outright winner who do you got for us Nick first of all if this is your first time watching gotta give kudos to Andy on that segment uh he’s not picking guys at the bottom of the odds board anybody can do that he’s picking bigname players

That he thinks are worth avoiding this week so uh it’s not easy to do but he does a very good job on warning us of those big game name name players so as always I’m whenever it happens I’m glad to say I’m not on those guys makes me

Feel good I’m moving on to an outright winner this week Andy I’m going back to the well on Justin Thomas we tried him a few weeks ago coincidentally I think it was his worst start of the season but I said it before at that point at odds

This high with his current form overall he’s just a must play for me he’s over 30 to one you can get him his high 33 to one right now uh he missed the cut in his last start at the Genesis yes but that did snap a streak of seven straight

Top 12 finishes including five top sixes where he legitimately had a chance to win uh several of those his iron play and His short game have been phenomenal which the latter I did mention in our preview of the course is likely to be a big factor this week as the greens here

Are very difficult to hit the negative for JT is like you mentioned with Xander this isn’t an event he usually plays but given his signature status of course he’s here and everybody’s here but he has played this twice before he did finish TI for 21st last year so

Respectable uh but that was in the middle of probably his worst year on tour so keep that in mind uh then really what it comes down to me Andy this is just crazy to say out loud you got ludig oberg Tommy Fleetwood Cameron young all listed at shorter odds than JT combined

They have one PGA Tour win under their Bell JT’s a 15-time winner at a longer number good form I just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me and I just see value in the numb so I’m hoping JT can rebound after his miscut come back and play well this week

And and I just add his number it’s it’s hard too hard for me to pass that have to agree man 33 to1 on that guy who’s I mean he’s got one of the highest ceilings in all of PGA Tours so love that pick we mentioned a promo code

For everyone earlier that promo code is Palmer 49 Palmer 49 it gets you 30 days of golf for $49 you can use that on myself or Nick I’ve got a 4% and 3% play that is up right now uh there’s no reason to just grab that pack there’s

Just grab grab the the 30 days it’s a it’s a steal $29 Andy players we got a big big yeah we got a really nice stretch of golf here so uh use the promo code Palmer 49 gets 30 days worth of golf for $49 absolute Nob brainer to take advantage

Of the head-to-head matchups that we have up seven and four in head-to-head matchups this year so really happy with that I’ve never had a losing SE season in golf Nick what do you have up at wager talk.com for this week’s event uh this week’s Pack’s already loaded I got several outrights already

Loaded and I have a 5% leaderboard bet only the second one so far of this season so that is included this week that alone this week’s packed alone is going for $39 so $10 more you’re getting the next uh three tournaments besides this so four total tournaments including

The player so looking forward to it and then uh besides golf MLS is just underway and you can get the full season right now for 299 going for six straight winning years Andy so uh hopefully we’ll we’ll start hitting our stride here as the season gets uh going and going into

Further further into the warmer months love it use that promo code at Palmer 49 it works for myself or Nick Borman you can get both of us why not why not lock up to to uh golf handicappers at a discounted price for the next month of golf plays let’s take

A look at DraftKings darling great week great week of DFS when you got all these big names you can really pick your spots with the Lesser priced guys so I will start with Eric Van Roy at 6600 he does not have good course history here he didn’t play here last

Year but he did uh play here two years before 57th in a miscut I just can’t pass up a guy at 6600 who’s finished second and eighth the last two weeks if he is in a Groove and he’s just hitting the ball very very well and he’s got

Just a really good short-term run in him 6 600 is going to feel like a steal so the course history does make me nervous but when you’re when you’re digging this deep and you’re finding guys at low prices there’s not going to be all upside But Eric vanroy and two straight

Top eight finishes yeah that’s got my attention I’ll take a sprinkle on him at 6600 up next to Milano gillo at 6,900 made the cut in all seven tournaments this year and he finished 39th here last year he’s played her six times he’s made the cut in five years the other he got

Disqualified um listen nck you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying I like the motivation I like trying to get trying to get an edge on the competition I’m all in on him no his putting his putting numbers have been fantastic um I think he’s a real value this week this guy

This guy’s made the cut in every tournament he’s played this year so he’s he’s very low priced on DFS and he’s very low priced on some of the leaderboard bets this a guy that finished 39th last year so he squeaked inside the top 40 so M ago at 6,900 is

Definitely going to make my card and then Harris English at 7,300 he’s made the cut in all six tournaments in 2024 finished 17th or better in four of those tournaments this is a guy who was uh uh he was really good last year he’s got upside and we’ve seen it this year

With some of those finishes inside the top 17 so uh with Harris English I get a guy who’s consistently making the cut he shown up side so we look at Eric Van royan at 6600 Milan gillo at 6900 and her’s English at 7,300 I have a free

Golf article up at wager talk.com uh just go to digital downloads on Andy Lang’s profile page you can download you can see my full DraftKings lineup uh up there and it starts with Van Roy uh gillo and Harris English uh that’s again a free digital download Andy Lang at

Wagertalk.com all right Nick let’s take a look at these leaderboard bets a lot of really good plus money prices on um some guys who they’re plus money because it’s a loaded field doesn’t mean they’re not going to uh go up there so I love this one that you found who are we

Looking at uh for the leaderboard bet yeah every every once in a while I feel like I uh I throw a guy’s name in this segment that I I feel like I haven’t bet on in multiple years and that certainly feels like the case right now with Adam Scott I don’t know the

Last time I bet on ad of scottt but ho hum and I had to look this up because I was just I I caught my Myself by surprise here Scott has quietly I say very quietly produced seven straight top 20 finishes worldwide including each of his three PJ tour starts this season he

Was on the number finishing tie for 20th at Pebble uh tie for eth at the waist Management Phoenix Open and Ty for 19th in his last start at the Genesis so even though he might just be right there he is close enough to catch those tickets his ball striking has been fantastic

He’s one of the best drivers out there he’s gained Strokes off the te in 16 of his last 17 measured starts there’s a couple tournaments in the fall that AR measured as well as he’s gained an average of plus 1.12 Strokes on approach over just his last five starts and then

Throw in you know Scott’s famous sweeping putter stroke which is always on point he’s one of the better Putters with that stroke uh obviously that’s a nice recipe for Success great driving good iron play and being able to putt he does have a spotty record at this event

He does play here he’s played here 11 times over the 20 years so it’s kind of like almost seems like every other year or sometimes he just goes back toback and takes two years off but he’s only had three top 20 finishes but with this being aent a signature stashus this year

You got a field of only 69 players we’re talking about beating just two-thirds of the field so it’s not like a normal 128 or 144 person field so plus 165 to get Scott to get in I’ll just say the top onethird of this field I think is pretty

Good price to do so uh I will mention you could as I said about his finishes this year tie for 20th tie for 19th if you can have a book that pays out in full on ties That might be something to look for on him this week because he

Might be in that kind of borderline area but I do like Adam Scott to be somewhere near those first or second pages on Sunday love it yeah he just pops up every once in a while uh just on the leaderboard and you’re like oh yeah Adam Scott so fun fact I Adam

Scott yeah yeah he really is he uh I was standing kind of um off to the Fairway at the US Open years ago and he was coming out of the rough he didn’t get catch it clean he missed my head by about that much I mean it it was a

Screamer from one oh yeah screamer from one side of the Fairway to the other it just whizzed by my head he came over that was close mate yeah it was Adam he said mate I yeah I was not ready I actually I think it was his caddy that

Said that but I I was not ready like there’s no reason I I should have been ready I was I wasn’t that far I was on the other side of the Fairway just really thick rough man he came out hot almost Dr me right in the head pretty funny moment there yeah pretty

Funny moment um all right let’s talk a little bit about the Puerto Rico open and then let’s we have’t we don’t have’t talked a whole lot about Liv uh in the PJ tour but I am writing articles on Liv and I’ll I’ll tell everyone why I’m

Doing that but uh tell us your sprinkle on the Puerto Ric open outright winter yeah just a reminder for everybody that there is an alternate PGA event this week for those that don’t qualify for the Arnold Palmer uh Puerto Rico open it’s going to be a lot of

Names you’re probably not familiar with but like we talked about a couple weeks ago I think it was the Mexico open you know when you’re betting these type of tournaments look for guys that have potential uh when Andy was previewing his DraftKings darling segment he said A

Very wise thing you’re not going to find guys in this field that have like consistency or or just all upside you’re going to see some ugly things in there but you’re going to see flashes are Brilliance and that was we talked about with Jake KN a couple weeks ago this

Week I think Ben Silverman is a name I like at the Puerto Rican open he’s 55 to1 to win you know he’s he’s a winner in the corn faery tour last season just like Jake knp was he’s coming off back-to-back top 20 finishes at the Mexico open and last week at the

Cognisant classic so obviously he’s got some upside he’s playing pretty well that’s about all the good stats I’m GNA be able to find on a guy like that and that’s kind of what you’re going to see in a lot of these players in this field

So just keep that in mind but it is worth throwing a few darts out there this week and Ben silver Porta weo open winter hopefully we’ll come through for us love it uh yeah so I’ve started writing articles for wager talk.com about the Liv tour

Um I just it’s it’s a product I don’t think I can ignore at this point um they’ve got too many big names over there to to kind of just you know not acknowledge that it’s happening betting markets are opening up more and more with each and every uh state that opens

It up it’s more betting opportunities and just researching and looking over there there are there’s some Trends emerging with some of these guys that you can you can play there’s not a ton of bets that you can make but there’s a lot of finishing positions outright

Winners um things like that so I want to run this Theory by you Nick so we’ve seen these outright winners that kind of coming out of nowhere and we’re seeing some of these bigger name a lot of bigger name guys just not performing well on the PGA tour and now you’re hearing these

Live guys completely whine about not being in the world golf rankings and it’s was like you guys took a bunch of money and you knew what was you knew what was what the what the possibilities were you knew what the ramifications were and now you’re whining about it I’m

Wondering if some of these bigger name PGA Tour guys if this is really bothering them if the guys that they’re used to playing with just aren’t there anymore like when you when you’re a kid and your friend moves from one school to another there’s a there’s an uneasy kind of lonely

Feeling and I wonder if over on live it’s just not what they thought it was going to be like congratulations on the money but does it does wae Neiman strike you as being happy he doesn’t to me every time you talk every time he talks he’s complaining about something and it

Was like you went over there and took a bunch of money and I don’t hear very many positive things I don’t hear any do you hear anybody talking about how awesome the live tour is and how they don’t miss the PGA tour at all no they’re trying to get back in the majors

They’re trying to get back in the world golf rankings my fear is that these guys have gone down this path finding that there is not happiness there that there’s an empty feeling and now you got the PGA Tour who is kind of torn apart and now you got these guys on Liv who

Are not very happy and of course the fans certainly cannot be happy that my my annual Fantasy Golf golf leag League that we do half the people this year the normal this is this is a league I’ve been doing for 12 years half the people and most of the people that aren’t in

There I’ve asked they said yeah I don’t have any I I don’t really have any interest in golf I can’t watch John ROM every week I can’t watch Brooks K I can’t watch these guys I don’t know what yeah what do you think do you think that

This is just really really torn the sport apart and now we’re just watching some of these biggern name guys on PJ tour who have lost some of the interest and competitiveness and you got these guys on live who I just don’t hear anything positive coming from them does

It strike me that they’re 100% happy with their decision yeah obviously long term for us as viewers and fans it’s it’s not great I’m sure there will be a solution where everybody gets back together and as friends at some point again it could be years from now it might be shorter than

That but it probably has to happen almost I just can’t figure out how to make everybody happy he he paid some and there’s got to be a penalty all that crap so uh it’s going to be very difficult figure that out but it just it seems like for the sport in general it’s

Going to have to happen and yeah I think for the Liv guys it’s it’s simply what they’re worried about is being forgotten right so you’re you’re not getting world ranking points you’re not being on TV anymore you’re not going to event eventually you’re not going to qualify

For the majors unless you’ve already won one so at some point you’re just not out there anymore and you kind of get forget forgotten about and you got paid and for I would say two-thirds of that tour they probably already were forgotten about you know wasn’t a Hudson wadford over

There I don’t remember last time I said his name oh yeah until today guys are great yeah yeah they did great they did great good for them but you know the the 10 20 people that were needle movers um you know they don’t want to be forgotten and I think they

Realizing that there’s a good chance they might be if something doesn’t change yeah I mean their tournament was at 3:00 am my time uh I didn’t watch one shot didn’t watch one shot of it I like I literally wrote an article about it and I had predictions I didn’t see one

Single shot of it nor did I want to and I saw Tyrell Hatton who Tyrell Hatton was quoted as as saying where are all the people like he he he he and it’s like did you not have you not seen what’s going on there did you really expect

There to be hundreds of people following each hole people aren’t watching and people aren’t going to these tournaments there was that shot of John ROM finishing up his hole there were 35 people in the gallery you could take you could count each person and I think you

I think it’s a good point they’re worried about being forgotten that’s a great point the good news is the good news is the PJ T has replaced Tyrell Hatton with Shane Lowry and anger management yes yeah yeah I wonder I wonder if there’s just a lot of guys

That are not in a good head space right now and you know who’s left to win it’s these guys like Austin ekro who are like like I need to win to get the like their motivation is much better I think they’re in a more competitive more aggressive mindset some of these guys it

Only takes one of these long shots each week uh to come out ahead of the field so interesting discussion we’ll we’ll uh we’ll we’ll keep our eyes on that so um I have not released any uh livv uh bets to to clients yet I’m still kind of

Trying to figure it out but uh I mean John ROM has finished in the top 10 every single time Brooks kka is always up there so uh I’m sure there’s some value to be had if there is uh we’ll let you know so all right guys that’s going
