In this episode of Money Moves on VSiN, hosts Stormy Bonantoni and Jonathan Vontobel deliver live betting insights from the Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, covering a dynamic slate of MLB, NBA, and NHL games, with a strong focus on the upcoming Masters tournament. The show kicks off with live action from key MLB matchups, including a tight Texas-Seattle pitching duel and the Dodgers-Blue Jays World Series rematch, analyzing pitcher command issues, injury reports, and prop value. The hosts discuss the strategic nuances of betting on teams with nothing to play for, like the Pistons and Grizzlies, and explore in-game angles for overs and unders in blowout games. A major segment features Jason Lisk breaking down the VSiN High Stakes Masters Challenge, emphasizing tiered drafting, avoiding overpopulated picks, and leveraging contrarian selections to maximize chances in the $100,000 guaranteed fantasy golf contest. The episode concludes with a detailed betting recap and best bets, including the over on Oilers-Sharks, the Capitals money line, and several high-risk Masters outrights like Tommy Fleetwood and Colin Morikawa, while also criticizing early broadcast coverage of the Masters as frustratingly delayed.
Use tiered drafting in fantasy golf contests: pick one golfer from each of six tiers, throw out your worst score, and avoid overpopulated picks to gain leverage.
In blowout games, look for in-game unders when the total is inflated due to lopsided scoring—eventually, the pace slows and the game can go under.
When teams have nothing to play for (like Pistons or Grizzlies), they may rest key players and lose by more than expected—this can inflate spreads and create value on the under.
For the Masters, consider contrarian picks like Tommy Fleetwood (22-1) or Colin Morikawa (35-1) despite injury concerns, as their course history and form may outweigh risk.
Focus on pitcher props over money lines when a starter shows strong underlying metrics (like expected ERA) but has been unlucky—Will Warren and Reed Detmers are potential value plays.
