This week on The Stephie Smalls Show, Stephie is joined by golf betting sharp Jason Rouslin for a deep dive into the 2025 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, followed by a visit from Producer Ryan to break down NBA Finals Game 3 and play a few fan-favorite betting games.
⛳ US Open Preview with Jason Rouslin
Stephie and Jason start with a course breakdown of Pinehurst No. 2, focusing on how this year’s U.S. Open will play out for bettors and DFS players alike. Jason explains how Pinehurst is a second-shot course that punishes poor approach play and rewards patience. With unpredictable green speeds and strategic hazards, targeting golfers with short-game precision and mental discipline is key.
They get into placement markets and longshots, including names like Sam Burns, Victor Perez, and Maverick McNealy. Jason calls out Bryson DeChambeau as a surprising value and explains why Harris English may be under the radar. The duo builds a “Make the Cut” parlay live on the show, sharing insights into how to approach safer betting legs while anchoring upside with strategic plus-money golfers.
Jason also drops intel on new features from Gambl, the betting tool he’s helped develop, giving insight into how to use it for parlay construction and ownership leverage in DFS.
🏀 NBA Finals Game 3: Thunder vs. Pacers
Producer Ryan jumps in to help break down the tied 1-1 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. He brings stats, hot takes, and his trademark chaos to the discussion, focusing on how OKC’s defensive rebounding struggles and Indiana’s fast-paced offense could impact Game 3.
Stephie and Ryan debate key trends and props in a round of “NBA Bets for Game 3”, before spiraling into Start, Bench, Fire — featuring random sports and TV hot takes — and Bet It or Blacklist It, where no bet is safe from ridicule.
📈 Final Thoughts
Between golf sharpness and NBA unpredictability, this episode is the perfect blend of stats, chaos, and degenerate wisdom. Whether you’re here to build a DFS lineup, make a parlay, or just yell at your TV like Producer Ryan, the Smalls Show delivers.
