00:00For, for rookie of the year, what we had seen in the market is basically Angel Reese just

00:05bet to be kind of like a competitive second choice, you know, a month ago, 25 to one or,

00:11you know, or more, and then just price gradually dropping, gradually dropping, gradually dropping

00:15as she keeps putting up these double doubles and shines more attention on her and Caitlin

00:21Clark and their history.

00:22And this just becomes like a constant talking point every single day.

00:25And the market reflects that there's just more interest in Angel Reese potentially winning

00:29rookie of the year.

00:30So she was like four to one, five to one over the last, uh, like week or so she's plus three

00:3550.

00:36I bet him GM right now.

00:37And Caitlin Clark's still a massive, I mean, it's going to be one of the two of them.

00:40So we already know that.

00:41So because one's plus three 50, it's, you know, Kayla Clark's going to be minus 500

00:44minus 600 at the same time.

00:46And I was just really interested, like what the net, you know, there's only a few games

00:50left until they take the Olympic break.

00:52There's basically like about a week to go.

00:54I think maybe I actually think the 20th might be the last day of the games or it's the 17th,

00:58one of the two.

00:59So we basically have a week left.

01:00They take a month off to play the Olympics.

01:01And I was just curious in that week, like could Angel Reese continue to build enough

01:05momentum that the whole month off became a discussion about how she should maybe win

01:11and Caitlin Clark, um, shouldn't.

01:14And today, if you were in that camp of like wanting things to be interesting, wanting

01:18something to be dramatic, wanting an underdog to have a chance to win today was not very

01:22good for you because yes, like Angel Reese did have a double double again.

01:25She had 11 and 13 and her team won.

01:27So you might be like, well, how could it possibly, like what, what could have happened?

01:32Caitlin Clark at 29, 13 assists and five steals.

01:37Her overall stat line, 29, 13, five, five, and three.

01:42I think no player in WNBA history, something like this has had a stat line like exactly

01:47like this with like assist, rebound, steals and blocks, everything combined.

01:50I mean, really like a historic day they lose.

01:52So if that's what you want to focus on, that's what you're focused on.

01:56I mean, it's going to be really tough to not just give a rookie, no matter how much everybody

01:59hates her or how much the WNBA resents what's happening, it's going to be really tough to

02:03not give it.

02:04If this, if this is what it's going to be in some of these games, first rookie to ever

02:07have a triple double.

02:08And now this, um, both, both rookies putting up really, really fun stat lines, generating

02:13a lot of good conversation.

02:14I think this was a very good day.

02:16If you like Caitlin Clark to win rookie of the year, but I don't know who would like

02:20that.

02:21Like who would lay minus 600 with 20 games left on somebody.

02:23I think if you like bets, then you want this to get more interesting.

02:27You want Angel Reese to keep getting double doubles.

02:29You want Caitlin Clark to not play well, and let's get really get the conversation machine

02:33going here so that you can come in and bet a lot of, bet a lot of money on Angel Reese

02:36at a good number.

02:37It doesn't feel like that's what happened.

02:39So anyway, if you, if you haven't followed this race very closely, I would say like a

02:43monster stat game for Caitlin Clark that I would say probably increase, despite the fact

02:47that she lost in Angel Reese one pretty dramatically in one, in a one, as much as one game can

02:52increase it dramatically, changes the perception and maybe she becomes a little more likely

02:56to win off of today's performance.
