## Resource

JMark and Miranda of Old Fashioned Football are here to teach Betting 101 and Whiskey 101 in four downs. All while drinking Basil Hayden Bourbon in their Old-Fashioned cocktails. They cover what sports betting is, why NFL betting is popular, American odds (plus/minus), spreads, totals, props, parlays, live betting, and the importance of line shopping. The hosts emphasize bankroll management, responsible betting, and not using rent money. For whiskey basics, they define whiskey and bourbon rules, outline key whiskey styles (bourbon, rye, scotch, Irish), and explain the five-S tasting method (see, swirl, smell, sip, savor). They also include some tips, such as adding a drop of water for high-proof pours. JMark and Mir share their Old-Fashioned recipe, then review Basil Hayden bourbon. 00:00 - Intro 05:20 - Betting 101 Basics: What It Is 07:34 - Whiskey 101 Basics: What It Is 11:29 - Odds Explained Plus Minus and Spreads 13:51 - Four Whiskey Styles and Starter Bottles 18:04 - Types of Bets Moneyline Spread Totals 21:05 - How to Taste Whiskey Five S Method 25:57 - Sip Dont Shoot 27:46 - Savor The Finish 29:23 - Water Opens Flavor 31:35 - Build A Tasting Flight 33:11 - Bankroll Basics 34:34 - Old Fashioned Recipe 37:36 - Basil Hayden Backstory 42:14 - Scoring Cocktail And Bottle 44:24 - Nose And Taste Notes
