Follow The Money | April 9, 2026 | Hour 1

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive into the opening round of the 2026 Masters, analyzing player performances, betting missteps, and the frenzy around merchandise sales. They reflect on their own betting errors—particularly missing out on a high-value bet on Scottie Scheffler due to emotional attachment to John Rahm—and discuss the financial spectacle of the event, with estimates of $17 million in gift shop sales. The conversation shifts to the NFL Draft, where they break down Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft, highlighting David Bailey’s rising odds and the potential for a surprise pick at number six. The hosts also explore the psychological and strategic aspects of sports betting, emphasizing the importance of letting go of past bets and embracing new opportunities. Later, they turn to a packed NHL schedule, featuring in-depth analysis of recent coaching changes—especially the Golden Knights’ hire of John Tortorella and the Islanders’ move to Pete DeBoer—and provide actionable betting insights on streaks, first-period over trends, and team-specific prop plays. The episode closes with a mix of betting recaps, viral stories like a $5 thrift-store green jacket sold for $140,000, and a strong endorsement of SharpPlays for advanced betting intelligence.
