Betting on races and conversations around betting have become increasingly popular among fans and analysts alike. It’s a way to add an extra level of excitement to the already thrilling sport. But when it comes to betting on 23XI Racing, some are hesitant to put their money on the line.

It seems like no one has that much faith in Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan‘s drivers—least of all, the betting experts Steve Letarte, Professor, and Chopper.

Steve Letarte and Co. don’t want another Denny Hamlin fiasco

During a recent episode of the Dirty Mo Dough podcast, a group of NASCAR insiders discussed their thoughts on Michael Jordan’s team and its chances of success. Among them was their well-known betting expert, Professor, who had some interesting opinions on the team’s potential.

“Last time we faded Reddick we had a DH tweet, too,” said Steve Letarte, referencing a previous incident where he and his colleagues had bet against NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick and received backlash from Hamlin on social media. Clearly, he isn’t fully inclined toward Reddick this time either.

“I didn’t want to be involved in another Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick tweet thing,” Professor said. In fact, even Bubba Wallace isn’t safe as Professor went on a limb when he declared, “I want to fade Bubba, too. But you guys didn’t want to.”

It’s clear that Professor and his colleagues are not afraid to fade the favorites, but their comments about 23XI Racing have raised some eyebrows. Letarte himself commented that “the Professor is fading all of 23XI,” making it clear that they do not have faith in the new team’s abilities.

Well, among those colleagues, there is Chopper, who is Denny Hamlin’s latest enemy. But it looks like even Hamlin’s partner, the millionaire bossman, doesn’t scare the trio.

They already know Michael Jordan isn’t going to be too happy

They brought up an interesting question about the impact of Michael Jordan’s involvement in NASCAR. As a much-revered figure in the world of sports, his ownership of a NASCAR team has brought attention to the sport from fans who may not have otherwise been interested. But with his history of holding grudges and seeking revenge, some are concerned that his involvement could lead to drama and tension among drivers and fans alike.

This makes more sense as an interesting comment from Chopper followed soon. He said, “Michael might be giving you a call.” Well, this just solidifies the belief that Michael Jordan might still be notorious for his competitive nature and petty grudges, and may not take kindly to Professor’s comments.

Only time will tell what the future holds for 23XI Racing and Michael Jordan’s involvement in NASCAR. But for now, Professor and his colleagues are not backing down from their opinions, and it remains to be seen how Jordan will respond to their comments. However, the most important question is: will 23XI be able to prove them wrong?
