Episode Summary:

Host Matt Perrault kicks off a Valentine’s Day episode lamenting an 0-8 betting week so far, though he finds solace in a successful hockey bet on Canada. He provides advice on proper tipping etiquette for those dining out on Valentine’s Day, suggesting a minimum of 20% and pushing towards 30% due to the holiday chaos.

For Saturday, he constructs a thematic “Red” parlay for College Basketball, picks a winner for the NBA 3-Point Contest, and analyzes a Team USA Olympic hockey matchup.

College Basketball “Red” Parlay:

St. John’s (Red Storm): He bets the Moneyline, backing them on the road against Providence.
Arkansas State (Red Wolves): He includes their Moneyline at home against South Alabama.
Texas Tech (Red Raiders): He takes the Point Spread (+9.5) against Arizona. He notes Arizona’s recent blowout wins at home but suspects a letdown spot after their loss to Kansas, while highlighting Texas Tech’s competitive road ATS record and recent cover against Houston.

NBA All-Star Weekend:

3-Point Contest: He backs the “old guy,” Damian Lillard, to win at +480 odds. While acknowledging the hype around younger shooters like Kennard, he values Lillard’s experience and clutch ability, believing he can tie Larry Bird with three titles.

Olympic Hockey:

USA vs. Denmark: He analyzes the Game Total (6.5). While considering the puck line for Denmark (+4.5) due to potential scoring from Leon Draisaitl, he ultimately decides the safer and cheaper play is the Over. He reasons that if Denmark covers +4.5 by scoring a couple of goals, a 5-2 or 6-2 USA win pushes the total over 6.5 anyway.
