Working in sports books for two decades has been an amazing experience.
One of the true joys of the job has been meeting some of the most interesting people in the world. No, I haven’t met that guy yet, I don’t think he likes sports...
But on..
Yes, it’s about the numbers, the bets & winning and losing. The money keeps score, and it’s real.
Everyone has an opinion, and nowadays, for better or for worse...
I only do the Twitter myself (for now), because the Consig kids say I’m not ready for the Gram and I’m too old for the Tik Tok...
I disagree and they laid the no price against me...it’s a typical...
I’m a girldad x3 and I haven’t gotten in a word in edgewise for a long dame time...
So, I did what all the cool kids are doing and started doing a podcast...
Apparently, we were...
When my guys AB and D Griff came to me and said, “Big Dave, we are gonna do a podcast. Vegas sportsbook guys talking...”
I’M IN!!
I don’t give a shit what we talk about or who listens...I’m going to talk about sports and bets...
That was 2017. Once or twice a week, we would meet up or call each other and talk about numbers, spreads, teams, coaches and who knows what else.
Not many knew about it and even fewer listened. But, man, was it fun.
It really didn’t matter..
D Griff moved to LA, and AB and I needed a third guy because well, in our business, nobody likes a push...
First time I met Mo, he was sweating a college basketball first half...
Went a little something like this...
You had me hello, Mo, you had me at hello...
And so the second season of the Cash Considerations podcast began...
Listeners from all over the United States and even other countries came for the takes and stayed for the laughs...
Guys talking betting and...
Everyone in the business is searching for value all the time. Even our little show had value.
Move on to 2019. AB says I gotta guy. Music to my ears.
That is the way the original Consig did it...
So, I meet Howard. And he becomes forever known to me as HB. Cause if you become one of “my guys” I call you anything but the name your mama gave you.
HB is the managing editor...
Ho-leee shit! There goes the neighborhood. GT buys microphones, a board and gives us a studio to record in.
Amazing, right? One problem...
Can’t be me, I just started changing lightbulbs a couple years ago. AB is busy watching fights and Mo is busy chasing life.
Big Dave, meet Reynolds. He is the producer. He used to work at radio stations, and he knows his shit..
“It’s Sean, but I go by Reynolds.”
Usually, I don’t abide by self proclaimed nicknames, and I go out of my way to not say them, just to see how the person reacts. You know, just because...
But this dude was different.,
Reynolds it is...
And we started doing a show.
Reynolds made sure we talked into the microphones and didn’t bang the table. HB did funny drop in segments. Mo was late every week for months...
Me, I talk. I ask questions, present an argument, listen and then...
Sounds a lot like a lawyer, but I couldn’t afford law school. Plus, the jokes would have bothered me. Think my Cousin Vinny. That’s me and Mrs Consig. But I digress...
Back to the show. We got..
The yes price was a dog boys, but we are all on it.
In a year doing the show, I’ve been lucky to meet so many people who
said yes to come on.
The list of guests and past episodes is good, but the connections I’ve made with people is...
Tree-men-dous!!!
Sports, books, money and bets is the language that we all speak, albeit in many dialects.
It’s the people for me. People for the limit.
I just want to thank all the people who have been on the show the past year. And...
I’d recommend going back and listening to some of the old episodes...
Like Jimmy V said, you will laugh, cry and think.
And you might like it. You might not. Either way, we will...
Just not this week.
You mean you read this bullshit all the way to the end for an announcement about a show that you don’t even listen to???
Proof why we all need an editor, a producer, and why we call it take a minute on the show.
The sports book world..
Today, I just wanted to thank all my girls and guys. You know who you are. Like the Consig kids tell me “I got you bro.”
H/t to all you all...
And oh yeah, bet the White Sox until they lose...💵💵💵
