The last time we saw the one and only Gary Payton spewing his March Madness thoughts, he was flanked by a gigantic gumball machine. If you thought that wasn’t enough, this time BetFlix caught up with The Glove while he was working out in his gym. Simply put, there’s never a bad time to catch Payton’s wisdom especially when it comes to betting on the Final Four.

Starting right off the bat, Gary’s pick in the Michigan State tilt against Butler sides with the Spartans. He’s joining the masses on this one, because even he doesn’t know how this game is going to go down. Undoubtedly, it’s hard to disagree with GP on this one. Even the oddsmakers have pegged this game with an opening line set at zero, so it’s anyone’s guess whose going to bring the heat on Saturday. The betting public has pushed the line in Butler’s favor by a hair, but Payton loves Michigan State. Still, he’s as cautiously nervous previewing this game as everyone is playing it. It’s going to be a tight one.

While the Duke lovers, homers and fans have come out in droves to talk smack about how good the Blue Devils are, Gary Payton is not one of them. As much as he respects Duke, the Alma mater of fellow Betflix star Christian Laettner, Payton is sticking West Virginia and going against the grain. My first instinct is to take Duke, but Gary Payton is going against the grain on this one, and who am I to argue with a legend?

No matter what he’s up to, or where he is, Gary Payton is always ready to make time for the betting public and his fans. Catch him on BetFlix by following this link to hear the man speak for himself! When the final two championship contenders are ready to roll, who knows where we’ll find GP next. Let’s just be thankful that the bike was stationary.
