Prop bets, fantasy leagues, and the Worldwide Leader in Sports retrained the audience to prioritize a different form of winning. Did Herm Edwards say, "You play to win your prop bet"? Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell cashed everyone’s prop bets in Toronto. The panel discussed Angel Reese’s bounce back in Las Vegas and the fall of Coach Prime. ➢​​Today's Sponsors Go to https://hometitlelock.com/fearless and use promo code FEARLESS to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!
