The second hour of VSiN's Cashing Out, hosted by Dustin Swedelson from the Circus Sportsbook in Las Vegas, dives deep into the opening round of the 90th Masters Tournament. With Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns tied for the lead at five under par, the episode features expert analysis from legendary golf commentator Gary McCord, who praises McIlroy’s patience and resilience despite poor driving accuracy, and highlights the underrated potential of Sam Burns and Xander Schauffele. McCord emphasizes the importance of experience and course knowledge at Augusta National, especially as the course firms up with no rain. The discussion shifts to betting strategy, with hosts and guests like Sportsline handicapper Eric Cohen advocating for value plays in the 'without' markets—excluding favorites like McIlroy and Scheffler—and spotlighting under-the-radar performers like Jacob Bridgman and Ludwig Oberg. The episode also covers live MLB action, including a tense 10th-inning battle between the Padres and Rockies, which ultimately went to extra innings, and previews upcoming baseball trends, including strikeout props and home run parlays. The hosts blend sharp betting insights with engaging storytelling, underscoring the blend of data, intuition, and emotional discipline required to succeed in sports betting.
Rory McIlroy’s 67 despite hitting only five fairways shows that patience and elite iron play can overcome driving inconsistency at Augusta.
Sam Burns, despite being overlooked, is a strong contender due to his elite putting and low-key demeanor—ideal for Augusta’s pressure-free environment.
The 'without' market (excluding top favorites) offers high-value betting opportunities, especially for first-time players like Jacob Bridgman.
Experience matters at Augusta: veterans like Justin Rose and Patrick Reed are more likely to thrive under pressure and course firming.
Live betting on MLB games requires emotional discipline—sticking with a bet despite market movement, as seen in the Padres-Rockies thriller.

Masters Round One Breakdown with Gary McCord
“He's kind of figured out that we're just going to try to, I think, rack up as many majors as we can. And we're seeing a guy with, you know... obviously otherworldly skills, with not any pressure, not any pressure from the press, which is huge at that tournament.”
Betting Strategy: Value in the 'Without' Market
“I like that. I like where your head's at with that. We're chatting with our buddy Eric Cohen, Sportsline Handicapper at Cohen's Corner AZ. All right, so realistically, where can the winner come from now that the leaders are where they are on the leaderboard at five under?”
Live MLB Drama: Padres vs. Rockies in Extra Innings
“I'm not going to look at the odd screen because I want to watch this happen in real time here as Machado steps up, bases loaded first pitches outside. So we are in a very good spot now because he has to throw him fastballs, has to keep throwing him fastballs.”
Player Spotlight: Sam Burns and Xander Schauffele
The hosts analyze Sam Burns’ low-key brilliance and Xander Schauffele’s resurgence, both of whom are undervalued in the betting markets despite strong performances.
Parlays and High-Risk Bets: The Fun Side of Betting
Eric Cohen shares creative parlay ideas, including top 10, top Canadian, and top senior bets, emphasizing the thrill and risk-reward balance of speculative plays.
“He's kind of figured out that we're just going to try to, I think, rack up as many majors as we can. And we're seeing a guy with, you know... obviously otherworldly skills, with not any pressure, not any pressure from the press, which is huge at that tournament.”
“The 'without' market, without Scheffler and McElroy, I could easily see Bridgman finishing third. Bridgman is T10 right now, and he's fifth in strokes gained T to green.”
“He's a guy that was 27-1 in the without Scheffler and Rahm, DeChambeau, and McElroy market on some of these sportsbooks. I would take a long look there.”
