In this final hour of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into a high-stakes weekend of sports betting, focusing heavily on the English football lower leagues and the upcoming Champions League showdowns. Steve Wiss, the 'Meat Man' guest, delivers sharp, data-driven insights on Premier League fixtures, advocating for Bournemouth over Crystal Palace, an under 2.5 goals in the Aston Villa vs. Tottenham clash, and a bold moneyline bet on Chelsea despite their poor run. He also breaks down the dramatic final day of the Championship, League One, and League Two, where promotion and relegation battles hinge on real-time results and goal differentials, with Derby County and Bristol Rovers emerging as key value picks. The episode shifts to the NBA and NHL playoffs, with intense analysis of the Celtics vs. 76ers and Pistons vs. Magic series, highlighting betting angles like team totals, player props, and steam-chasing the Knicks' money line. The hosts emphasize the importance of real-time data, AI-powered insights, and disciplined bankroll management, culminating in a high-energy recap of recent action and a call to action for VSiN Pro subscribers. The episode underscores the theme of 'following the money' through strategic betting, where momentum, player health, and psychological factors like team morale and pressure play as crucial as statistics. Key takeaways include the value of betting on teams with high motivation (like Derby County or Bristol Rovers), the danger of overvaluing favorites (e.g., PSG's low team total), and the power of in-play betting and steam chasing—especially on high-profile games like the Knicks vs. Hawks. The hosts also reflect on the emotional highs and lows of sports, from Adam Scott’s golf mishap to Jordan’s legendary pre-game drinking, reminding listeners that betting is as much about mindset and culture as it is about data. The episode closes with a strong endorsement of VSiN Pro and a teaser for the upcoming NBA Finals and World Cup coverage.
Betting on Derby County to beat Sheffield United at 1.25 is a high-value play due to their momentum and the opponent’s lack of motivation.
The final day of English lower leagues is a 'hound's breakfast'—all matches kick off simultaneously, making real-time result tracking essential for parlay and prop bets.
Champions League games like PSG vs. Bayern Munich are prime candidates for high-scoring over bets, especially with team totals like PSG’s 1.5 goals at even money offering strong value.
Steam chasing the Knicks’ money line, which moved from $1.40 to $1.50, is a smart in-play strategy when public betting surges on a team with strong momentum.
Player props like Kelly Oubre’s projected 16.25 points with a 23% edge (per Opta AI) represent high-conviction, data-backed betting opportunities.

English Lower Leagues: Promotion & Relegation Drama
“Derby are 20-1 to be promoted, by the way. I don't think they'll get promoted even if they make the playoffs, but you could do worse than Derby because they've found a bit of form recently.”
Champions League Preview: PSG vs. Bayern Munich
“Over four and a half goals is plus 130, which is, that's crazy for a big game. But I think it goes over four and a half. I really do.”
NBA & NHL Playoffs: Game 6 Pressure & Steam Chasing
“This game is starting tip time is at seven o'clock Eastern on the board. This number's moving. So FanDuel is still showing two and a half. DraftKings just went to three and a half. And here at Circa, they recently moved to three.”
Player Props & AI Insights: The Edge of Data
“17 plus points minus 104. They make that number minus 512. They're projecting 21 points from him tonight. That's a plus 32.7 edge. I know. Can't get there.”
